He doesn't snore, is soft, quite, and warm. - The perfect boyfriend? Well, it is at least for the Japanese company that can't supply enough of the stuffed boyfriends.
Japanese designers have filled the gap in lonely, single ladies’ beds by creating the Boyfriend Arm Pillow, a partner who will happily hug them to sleep — without making any demands.
The pillow comes with two shirts in blue and pink, which can be washed and ironed to enhance that loving housewife experience. One model is also an alarm — the boyfriend’s body shakes to wake his sleeping girl.
A spokesman for manufacturer Kameo said: ‘It has been so successful we have had to draw up a waiting list. Women of all ages have been queueing round the block to take one home.’
Don't worry guys. They're considering a girl pillow too. Although it looks like it will be more expensive.
Go figure.

Here is a picture of the boyfriend pillow in action. Well, perhaps it would be better to say, "In repose."
