Do you ever worry that your geek-hood doesn't extend into the bedroom? Read on for our top 5 Extreme-Geek Pillows, guaranteed to take your geek-on to the next level. When your developer says 'he'll sleep on it', this is what he's talking about folks.

5. The Most Intergalactic Pillow

Designed to comfort Wookies and stormtroopers alike, these Star Wars pillows come in at number 5 in our Geek Pillow charts. (Extra geek points if you get the Star Wars teddy as well). Sleep soundly you will.

These three, Darth Vader, C-3PO and a Stormtrooper, will set you back around £2.50 ($4.99) each. Why bother? They'll blow the socks off any Princess Leia you happen to bring them into contact with.

4. Google Pillow

Because you SO do.

Hey, not that it's anything to be ashamed of- we all do it, often more than once a day... although it's still damn embarrassing when you get caught 'in the act', so to speak. Don't worry though, you're in good company- Colin Farrell is apparently a serial self-googler. This stylish number will cost you around £10 ($20).

3. Neo-wannabe's Pillow

Could you live in the Matrix? Can you pull off shades and a long black leather coat? If so, this is definitely the pillow for you. I don't need to tell you what the code says now do I? If you click on this translator you forfeit at least 10 geek points. You can get the pillow for about £10 ($20) and a matching blankie for another £20 ($40). A small price to pay for such extreme coding comfort.

2. Ipod Pillow

The most practical of our entries today- this gets extra Apple Cool points with ease. Just imagine how much more satisfying it would be to set the 'sleep' function. ZZZZZzzzzzz..... You can pick one up from Amazon for the bargainous price of £7.50 ($15). And here, for your convenience, is a Great List of Music To Fall Asleep To.

1. Gamers Pillow

In at Numero Uno for its unadulterated geekness, we have the Wiimote Plushie Pillow. Fun from all angles, use this 26 inch long cuddly remote to take out all your wii-related rage on, or, if the Wii's been good to you today, to sing sweet lullabyes to. That'll be another £10 ($20) thank you very much. . You can see some more pics here. Word on the street is that they've sold out, but will restock if the demand is strong enough.
