Those crafty Japanese are now marketing a
man-shaped pillow. The new model, the "Boyfriend's Arm Pillow", is pillow shpaed like a headless torso with a stuffed arm that curls around the sleeper.
"For Ms Suzuki, who is estranged from her husband, the pillow has definite advantages: It doesn't squirm or thrash in the night, and you know it'll be there in the morning.
'It keeps holding me all the way through,' she said in her home outside of Tokyo. 'I think this is great because this does not betray me.'
One-size pillows do not fit all.
So Kameo is working up new models: muscular pillows for sleepers who like their pillows well-built; slender models for those after a more sensitive, vulnerable partner."
The company is developing a female version of the pillow, also. Current plans call for a woman's lap, with a "skirt" cover. I'm not marketing expert, but I think I could improve on this design.
