Apart-Legs Dakimakura Inner Pillow: Check the Fit First

Published by Dakimakura Store · Published September 26, 2026

An apart-legs dakimakura inner pillow is a specialized purchase. The shape in the listing matters as much as its printed size: a cover made for a straight rectangular insert and a cover made for a separated-leg form are different projects. Before adding either item to your cart, identify the cover you intend to use, read the insert listing in full, and compare the two as a pair.

The store lists a specialized apart-legs inner pillow with 150 × 50 cm and 160 × 50 cm sizes in its product name. That is a useful starting point, but a matching number alone does not prove that an existing cover will fit its outline. This guide explains what to verify and when a conventional insert is the simpler choice.

Start with the cover, not the insert

If you already own a dakimakura cover, find its exact product page or order details before shopping for an inner pillow. Record the stated length and width, then look at the cover’s shape and closure. A standard body pillow cover is designed around one continuous rectangular form. A specialized cover may use a shaped lower section or another construction that needs a corresponding insert. The word “dakimakura” by itself does not tell you which type you have.

For a new purchase, browse the inner pillow collection alongside the cover category rather than treating every insert as interchangeable. If the cover is from the apart-legs pillowcase category, check the specific cover’s product options and images. The category label tells you where to look; it is not a universal compatibility guarantee.

Compare the overall outline in the product images

Look at the complete silhouette, especially the lower half. A straight insert has two long edges that continue to the bottom. An apart-legs design changes that outline. Also note where the opening or split appears and whether the cover is intended to follow that shape. If the seller’s photos show only one side or a tight crop, ask for clarification before ordering instead of guessing from the title.

Printed artwork, a cover photograph, and an insert photograph can look similar at thumbnail size. Read the product name and selected options to confirm which component is being sold. For the specialized inner pillow above, the listing’s title explicitly says “Inner Pillow.” If you need the printed outer layer too, make that a separate line on your shopping checklist.

Use both dimensions, and keep the selected option

The apart-legs inner pillow listing names two sizes: 150 × 50 cm and 160 × 50 cm. Compare the selected size with the size offered by your exact cover. Check both numbers: a matching width with the wrong length is not an exact match, and a close length does not solve a shape mismatch. Product names sometimes mention several sizes, while the cart contains only the one option you selected. Review the cart line before payment.

If you are replacing an insert, use the original order confirmation where possible. It is more reliable than measuring a filled pillow with a tape while the filling is compressed. If you do measure, lay the cover flat without stretching it, note the labeled size if present, and use those measurements as a cross-check rather than a substitute for the seller’s stated option.

When a standard inner pillow is the easier choice

Many shoppers simply want a filled pillow for an ordinary rectangular cover. In that case, start with the standard dakimakura inner pillow listing and compare its available size choices with your cover. Do not buy a shaped insert because it sounds more versatile; it changes the construction you need to match. The right choice is the insert that fits the cover you actually own or intend to order.

A third option on the site is a double-sided zipper inner pillow. Its product title also mentions 150 × 50 cm and 160 × 50 cm, but the zipper feature is a separate question from the apart-legs outline. Do not assume that a zipper-equipped insert and a shaped insert serve the same cover. The site’s dakimakura zipper guide explains why a cover zipper and an inner-pillow zipper should be evaluated separately.

A five-minute compatibility check before ordering

1. Identify the outer cover. Open its exact product page or order record. Write down its full name, size option and whether the lower section has a special shape.
2. Identify the insert. Confirm that the cart contains an inner pillow, not only an outer cover or a replacement accessory.
3. Compare the shape. Review the full product images, focusing on the lower outline and any separated section. If a detail is unclear, ask the store before checkout.
4. Match length and width. Choose the 150 × 50 cm or 160 × 50 cm option only after checking the specific cover size. Do not infer the cart selection from a title that lists both.
5. Save the pairing. Keep the two product URLs or SKUs with your order notes so that any later question or replacement request refers to the same cover and insert.

This check is especially useful when the cover and insert were bought at different times. If you have an unlabelled cover, do the shape check first, then use the dakimakura size guide to organize the dimension question. A size chart helps with dimensions; it cannot turn one construction into another.

If you cannot find the matching cover

Pause the insert purchase if you cannot identify the outer cover with confidence. A similar character illustration or the same numerical size is not enough evidence that a shaped insert belongs inside it. Take a clear photo of the whole cover laid flat and another of its opening and lower section. Keep any label, SKU or order number visible in a separate note. Those details give the store a much better basis for checking the pair than a cropped screenshot of the artwork.

If you are starting from scratch, choose the cover first and then ask which insert matches that exact listing. If you are replacing a lost insert for an older cover, do not assume the current product with the closest title is unchanged from your original purchase. Compare the present listing carefully and ask about any difference you can see. A short question before checkout can prevent buying a specialized shape that you cannot use.

Questions shoppers often ask

Will an apart-legs inner pillow fit any 150 × 50 cm cover?

No universal fit follows from the size alone. Compare the lower outline and construction of the exact cover and insert, as well as the selected dimensions. If the product pages do not establish a match, ask before ordering.

Does the inner pillow listing include a printed cover?

Do not assume so. The specialized product is titled as an inner pillow. Check the listing and the cart for the components included in your purchase. Add an outer cover separately if it is not included.

Can I use a regular inner pillow instead?

For a standard rectangular cover, that is the natural place to start. For a shaped cover, do not assume a rectangular insert will reproduce the intended form. Compare the exact products and confirm any uncertainty with the store.

Is the double-sided zipper option the same as an apart-legs insert?

No. The listings describe different features. A zipper refers to access or construction, while “apart legs” describes a shaped form. Read each listing independently and match it to the cover you have chosen.

The safest buying decision is a documented pair: one named cover, one named insert, one selected size and a clear match between their shapes. Start with the cover you want to use, then compare the relevant inner pillow listings before you place the order.
