He never snores, doesn't hog the duvet and promises single women a sound night's sleep.
Japanese designers have filled the gap in the beds of lonely single ladies 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 spokesperson for the manufacturer 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."
The R450 pillow is currently available only in Japan but may soon be exported.
Orders can be placed on the Internet, although high demand means that lonely hearts could be kept waiting.
But when the perfect boyfriend finally does arrive, at least it is guaranteed that he won't sleep around.
