14.For those who have lonely nights and have trouble falling asleep,he is proving the most satisfactory partner.This is a man who does not snore (打鼾) in bed.And he is happy to wrap a comforting arm around his dearest until morning arrives.
He does exist.He is the body-shaped pillow,the latest sleeping aid from Japan.
This pillow comes without a head and is filled with foam.It's made by Kameo and has a"body"and a flexible arm that can be curled(纏繞) around its owner.
About 1,000of the pillows have been sold since they went on sale in Japan last year and many buyers say they are pleased with their sleeping companion.
"This pillow makes me feel relaxed because I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side,"said 34-year-old radio DJ Junko Suzuki.
But according to Kameo,the pillow is more than just an emotional help for those tired of spending the night alone.And it is shaped,the firm says,to support its partner on both sides to ensure a night of good sleep.
The idea is to curl up in between the body and the flexible(靈活的) arm.The head just rests on the pillow's"arm muscles".
"My grandmother used to say that there is no more comfortable pillow than another person."said the firm president,Tomoki Kakehashi."So I thought that maybe people would want to sleep on a pillow shaped like an arm."
The pillows,on sale only in Japan for the moment,cost 8,500yen(around US$80)each and come with shirt-shaped covers in blue,pink or green.
