4D Makura Lattice mini 3D-printed pillow, Digi Mart USA News: Apple Tree has announced the 4D Makura Lattice mini, a small 3D-printed pillow intended for brief rests rather than nightly sleep. Announced on November 12, the pillow measures approximately 150 × 120 × 40 mm (5.9 × 4.7 × 1.6 inches) and weighs around 60g.
The product has two attachment points on its underside that can be used with carabiners to hang it from a backpack or travel bag. The company suggests uses such as resting at airports, taking office breaks, or camping.
The mini pillow is a smaller version of the company’s 4D Makura Lattice 3000, introduced earlier this year. Both use a flexible 3D-printed lattice structure whose interconnected sections deform under pressure to distribute weight, while gaps between elements allow air to circulate.
Apple Tree says it is made from ERASTO1000 BIO, a flexible polyurethane-based material containing some renewable, bio-based ingredients, and can be washed with water and soap.
The source notes clear limitations: at 15 cm wide the cushion offers little room to move and appears designed for people sleeping in a fixed position. The manufacturer has not published independent comfort or durability tests.
Apple Tree plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Makuake on December 11, running until February 27, 2027. Early rewards are said to offer discounts of up to 50%, although the final price has not been announced.
