The Boyfriend Pillow is easily washable - the front of the pyjama top unbuttons (you could even use it to practice your one-handed-unbuttoning technique, if you know what I mean!) and the pillow can be removed.

The pyjama top is made of soft, high quality, white, 100% cotton fabric and features delicate stripes, in differing widths, of pink, pale blue and grey - the classic pyjama top! Most of the photos on this auction show an earlier style of fabric we used - until we discovered this one (it's so new we haven't even had time to take new photos yet!). The close-up photo, below right, shows the actual fabric (it's called 'Percale Twill') of the pillow.

The pillow filling is polyester hollow fibre.

As he's completely reversible, not only do you get the perfect bed-mate but also you choose which side of the bed you want to sleep on. And you choose every night! Bliss!

The pillow is supplied in a vacuum-sealed polythene wrapping - so you know it's perfectly hygienic and hasn't been exposed to anything since leaving the factory. It's supplied with its own cream-coloured storage bag which has a draw-string closure, so if your circumstances change (if you know what I mean!) you can discreetly store your pillow away from prying eyes! (Until you need it again! You know men!)

Get ahead of the craze that's on its way to Europe!

The Boyfriend Pillow is life-size. In case you've forgotten what size a man is (just kidding!), then it's about 66cms (26 inches) long, about 71cms (28 inches) from chest to elbow and about 15cms (6 inches) deep - which, it is said, is about as shallow as most men. (Do I sound bitter?)
