SINGLE women in Japan have been offered the ultimate bedtime mate: he won't stay out late, he doesn't snore and he won't hog the doona.

Bed buddy ... the Boyfriend Arm Pillow in action.

Women of all ages have reportedly been rushing to buy their very own Boyfriend Arm Pillow - a snuggly alternative to the real thing.

Manufacturers say lonely hearts have been queing around the block to snap up their own faux-boyfriend.

He comes with his own shirts for those who miss fussing over their man and one model has a vibrating alarm function to gently shake their sleeping beauty awake.

But the bed-buddy doesn't come cheap. At £43 ($111) he's a bit more expensive than the outlay for your average first-date.

The pillow is currently only available in Japan but there are plans to begin exporting.

And for the boys who feel left out - a limited edition Girlfriend Arm Pillow is also on the way.

There is a great book from the 80's that examined Japanese culture called, 'The Hollow Doll.'

One of the items it noted was a Bandai toy similar to a Magic 8-Ball but in the form of a robot. It was called Fortuneteller Robo God-Jesus
