Lap desks and bed trays give a laptop a flat, hard base when you are working on the sofa, in bed or in a chair with no table. They are not a substitute for a desk, but they solve a real problem. Apple tells owners of its laptops not to use them in bed, on a pillow or under bedding, and Dell, HP and Lenovo all advise a hard, flat surface, because a duvet or a cushion sinks round the base and blocks the vents the laptop draws air through.
Legs or no legs. A table with legs stands over your lap in bed and keeps the laptop off the covers. A flatter lap stand sits on your knees.
Width. If you use a mouse, choose a top wide enough to take one beside the laptop, or one with a mouse pad.
Air. Look at where your laptop's vents are. A solid top keeps it off the fabric; a top with holes or a raised, tilting stand leaves more room for air under the base.
For a laptop that still runs warm on the sofa, laptop cooling pads add fans under the base. Lenovo says pads are especially useful on soft surfaces such as a bed or a sofa.
For a short while it is what laptops are for. For long spells, the laptop makers advise a hard, flat surface, which is what a lap desk gives you.
For short spells it is fine. For long ones you cannot reach the posture the Health and Safety Executive describes: the top of the screen level with your eyes and your forearms roughly horizontal. Sit up rather than lying down, take more breaks, and move to a desk with a laptop stand for the long jobs. The guide to setting up a laptop desk goes through it.
