Apple Tree 4D Makura Lattice Mini 3D-Printed Pillow Weighs 60 Grams

Japanese Manufacturer Introduces Ultra-Light 3D-Printed Travel Pillow

Japanese company Apple Tree has announced the 4D Makura Lattice Mini, a miniature 3D-printed pillow designed for portability. The pillow measures approximately 15 centimeters across and weighs around 60 grams, making it small enough to hang from a backpack using carabiners.

Lattice Structure Provides Flexibility

The product uses a flexible lattice structure created through 3D printing. This design aims to balance support with compressibility, allowing the pillow to be packed tightly or attached externally to gear. The lattice pattern is intended to distribute pressure while maintaining airflow.

Targeted Use Cases

Apple Tree positions the 4D Makura Lattice Mini for travel, office breaks, and outdoor activities. Its minimal weight and compact size address the common trade-off between comfort and portability in travel pillows. The carabiner attachment points let users clip it to a backpack strap or bag loop for quick access.

Context in 3D-Printed Consumer Goods

3D-printed lattice structures have appeared in products ranging from shoe midsoles to bicycle saddles. The 4D Makura Lattice Mini applies similar geometry to a sleep accessory. Apple Tree has not publicly disclosed the specific printing material, production method, or retail pricing at the time of the announcement.

Availability

The product was revealed via Apple Tree’s official channels and covered by Japanese tech media. International distribution details have not been confirmed. Interested buyers should monitor Apple Tree’s website for release information and regional availability.
