Japanese Boyfriend pillow




A Japanese manufacturer has found a niche bound to improve the lives of single women everywhere.

Kameo's Boyfriend Arm Pillow resembles a man's torso, shoulder and arm, offering a cozy space sized to fit and comfort its lonely owner.

The pillow comes with two removable shirts its owner can use to bone-up on washing and pressing. One model also doubles as an alarm clock that shakes to wake its sleeping companion.

‘It has been so successful we have had to draw up a waiting list," A spokesman for Kameo said. "Women of all ages have been queueing round the block to take one home.’

Priced at around $74, the pillow is currently available only in Japan - though, according to press reports, Kameo may soon be exporting it to Britain.

Kameo is also planning to test the waters of the men's market; a limited edition Girlfriend Arm Pillow is to be released in the near future.
