Fules withAQUA “Dakimakura” Inner Body Pillow, 160x50cm, Made in Japan

It took me by surprise that Fules was actually selling the withAqua directly to the US via Amazon marketplace given how niche this hobby is, but I'm glad I decided to take the plunge.I've had this body pillow for about a month now, filling a somewhat expensive daki cover I got from booth. It's a really good pillow for the price, probably the best you can get under $150 USD. It's pretty light, fluffy, huggable and despite all that can still stand up on its own (just like it shows in the pictures).As mentioned, it's quite light at only 2.2 kg. For comparison, an A&J DHR7000H is 3.3kg, and dakimakuri doesn't even offer an inner that light -- they only have inners that weigh 3.6 kg to 6.0kg. This pillow uses some blend of dacron polyfill, but despite how light it is it's not so airy that it isn't resilient -- you can hug this thing! That said, you may like it more if you're a light person. I'm quite heavy, but I still liked the amount of give this inner has.Out of the month I've had this pillow hugging it maybe every other night and during naps the cover's barely slipped a few degrees and it's pretty easy to fix, so this pillow's anti-slip cover works quite well. Stuffing the pillow into your cover can get a little tiring because of the aggressive anti-slip cover, but I see that as a good thing as it means the anti-slip is working properly. It also does a good job filling out your cover as I haven't had any problems getting the ears/corners to line up correctly.The pillow also has a zipper opening at the bottom so if ever it gets too compressed and clumped up you can take the stuffing out and stretch it out again. Always a nice option to have, especially as you want this product to last.Anyways, why do I mention this is perhaps the best pillow you can get under $150? Well, if you live in the US and you're looking to buy a daki inner, your options are pretty limited if you want to stay within a reasonable budget. Import and shipping fees from Japan for an item of this size and weight can get pretty insane if you want the best pillow in the market. The A&J DHR7000H can cost well above $200 from a third-party seller on ebay or if you choose to buy it direct off of Amazon Japan, around $210 USD (or 28k JPY) after shipping fees. Now if you want a way more reasonable option, dakimakuri, a Texas-based dakimakura hobby shop, offers a lot of competitive inners like the Kumochi but since their inners are all on pre-order you have to pay an additional $55, bringing their most affordable offering to $155 before tax, and with a 1-2 month wait.Now being we're talking about daki inner options on Amazon, you could always opt for technically the most affordable and regularly in-stock daki inner on Amazon being the Comodo CMD9000 at around $98... but I'd venture to say it isn't as nice as this pillow, as the Comodo can get a bit floppy. Not to mention it wouldn't sit all that well with me just having the most budget option for my expensive daki cover.This inner, meanwhile, comes in at $125 before tax and if it's in stock by FulesJapan, typically arrives in the usual 2-3 days you get from Amazon Prime. So this is kind of the best balance of being affordable and providing excellent performance for the price. If you were on the fence about what inner to get, I'd say try this one. Especially if it's in stock and you don't want to wait 1-2 months for another inner to ship from overseas.

It's just a polyfill body pillow, yet somehow, it's the perfect body pillow. The cover is so incredibly soft and well-fitted, it's a shame to cover it up. But. I can't bear to ruin it.I was just looking for a good pillow for my posture vs. an art piece, and this can do that sooooo well. The only snag is.. Finding a plain, character-less cover that's nice is insanely hard to do. What I wound up with is a plain blue cotton cover from ebay, but I'll be checking out etsy to make custom requests..This pillow is a simple thing done flawlessly. But I have to give you actual characteristics, so.. Pillow feels too soft/structureless until you put it into a secondary cover. Then it's moderately dense and has moderate give. It fills out a cover very proudly, so it's like, taut. If you want some, or any bagginess, you'll find none here.It's big, and if you have it under the covers and try to roll it around, it's like moving a person due to all the drag from the blankets.Yeah, that's pretty much the dealShockingly, I don't regret my purchase -- a friend just gave us a handmade all-down body pillow, and I like the polyfill more.. How crazy is that? It's made to be cuddle-able, and that's just what you need.For myself, I might like it with slightly less fill.Also, the outer cover doesn't slip at all on the pillow, and there's no creases.Just don't get a, like, 90% polyester, 10% spandex cover. It'll slip right outta yer arms

This pillow is very cozy, however if your planning to put a case on it make sure the case can open all the way to the edge or else the pillow will tear the case. No problems with the pillow itself. It was very full of stuffing so it wasnt flat in any way. No wierd smells either.

It’s such a soft body pillow, I immediately felt at ease when I was lying down with this one. Thank you guys so much again for creating this!!!! 🙏🥹😵‍💫
