A suitable dakimakura is good for your sleep, then how to choose the right one? The pillow core we often use is 50*160cm in size, or 60*180cm generally.
Experts have found that the traditional square dakimakura of 80*80cm can’t give people good sleep, but, on the contrary, may hinder human body from relaxing, and cause muscle tension in the shoulders and neck.
Doctors of medicine have pointed out that 50*160cm is an appropriate size for a dakimakura, as it can provide good support for hands and legs, and keep the spine in the natural shape. But it depends on different people’s actual situations, and the size of dakimakura is 50*160cm generally, which fits well.

2WT feels smooth and elastic. The printing color and precision are also the best. Its durability is also better than peach skin velvet.
If there are scratches or pilling on 2WAY caused by any sharp objects, it is difficult to deal with. So please be especially careful when using.
When summer comes, 2WAY is the best material for dakimakura, as the material has strong moisture absorption and air permeability, and can be called air cooler dakimakura in summer.
There is also a higher-end 2WAY upgraded dakimakura, which is the best material, silky and cool.
Dakimakura made of 2WAY feels very comfortable in summer, especially in wet and hot areas.
It won’t feel hot and wet like other dakimakura of ordinary cotton or chemical fiber.
Peach skin velvet material
Peach skin velvet is the cheapest material, and feels like swimsuits.
It feels rough and inelastic, the printing accuracy is poor, but its durability is incomparable with other types of dakimakura.
If you just want to try a dakimakura, you can buy this one first. It’s cheap, just about 40 dollars and less.

Many factories produce dakimakura cores, with cotton filled in them. There are two types of dakimakura cores available at Diipoo, pp cotton and thickened down silk wadding, the latter is better, as it is soft and air permeable.
