Most gamers will have a favourite spot from which they like to play games, whether it's a chair, bed or hanging upside down from the ceiling — that last one may just be for Batman fans. In any case some handicraft enthusiasts create their own gaming seats, with some impressive examples.
One such gamer is DeviantArt user tavington, who's produced an enormous pillow shaped like a Nintendo 64 controller. Here's what she had to say about the creation on its page.
I wanted to make a pillow for myself, as I’ve sold all of the other ones I’ve made I wanted to push the boundaries and make something gigantic!
The N64 was the first console that introduced me to the Zelda games, so it means a lot to me. I also loved its unique shape and the controller overall was one of the best I’ve ever played on (analog stick ftw)
This is my new gaming pillow, I’ll be using it whilst slouching around playing Animal Crossing.
It looks pretty comfortable for a bit of gaming, especially of the retro variety.

Wow. I wish I had just one gaming furniture...
That's cool
Hahaha that's awesome! I once saw Shine Sprite (from Super Mario Sunshine) pillows at a local game store for $30, I thought it was a bit pricey & hence didn't buy one... To this day I regret that decision.
I actually forgot how this controller looked like, looking at it now reminds me how weird it looked. Always remembe playing smash bros and pokemon stadium 1 & 2 but I don't remember that controller
Whether I am using the right controller or not bothers me more than what I am sat on. (And other stuff like input lag / sprite flicker and whether it has a tacky filter on the game or not.)
(Annoyed that I was 250 Eu club nintendo points short of getting the snes classic controller when it went out of stock).
I liked the controller because whether you used the dpad or analog stick it was still very comfortable.
I would absolutely sleep on that!...Too bad they didn't make a Dream Team pillow/Pi'llio.
Looks pretty comfortable.. just what one needs for those long AC:NL sessions.
more useful than the n64 itself...
Still a great controller and works like a charm with those newer thumb sticks you can buy and put in them.
I want it sooo much. the three grip handles make good resting spots for your arms and back.
my palm still has nightmares about mario party
I like it when NintendoLife puts up interesting little things like this, looks awesome!
NES controller pillow for the win. Thats very cool though.
@unrandomsam I loved how the stick could be used either as a left or right stick, depending on whether precise movement or precise aiming were most important. Or it could be not used at all, and completely out of the way.
@Big-Luigi I can see why you'd like that, but gaming while dreaming strikes me as being quite... difficult.
Awesome image btw!
@DestinyMan All three my arms! It looks comfortable to put your arms between the three ends, under the pillow, while laying on your belly to game.
I'd love to have one of those!
Wish I had this. Where do you get it? xD
Since when is batman known to hang on ceilings? I'm pretty sure that's spiderman.
Sleeping in the Nintendo past.
A pillow for people with three heads? Just what everyone needs.
@SomeBitTripFan
LoL!
This looks awesome. DeviantArt is one of my favorite sites. I wonder if the person sells these. . .
@WinterWarm Try Etsy. Many people sell aritisan crafts and fanart there.
Now that's one piece of gaming furniture I'd buy.
. . . .
Make it even bigger and you could have a two-seater gaming cushion.
Nice!
