What is a comfortable position for using a laptop in bed?

Princess Alice · 2012-06-05 06:20:30

Seriously, I don't get this. I try using it sitting up but that gets tiring quickly because I don't have anything to lean back on. I try laying on my front and using it but that just gets uncomfortable after a few minutes...I hear people talk about doing this all the time, so there must be some "right" way to do it, right?

I sit in front of it with my legs crossed. Works for me.

That's the problem; I find myself wanting to lean against the wall but my bed isn't against a wall and I can't put it against one.

Pretty much. This is a basement, so the walls are concrete and covered with insulation, so I have the bed pulled out a few feet from them.

That's what I end up doing most of the time, but yeah, my back gets tired.

I have a futon so I basically use it either lying down or sitting up (it's in the couch position pretty much all the time).

I should get Friday in here, she was born to post in this thread.

I have in on my lap with my back on a pillow against the wall, held so that I don't block the air vents and make it overheat.

I have a rolling table that i sit at the side of my bed, i lie on my side with my head propped up and put my mouse in front of me (on a mouse pad obviously). Tends to do the trick. This also frees up much space for kitties to curl up with me.

Not the same model, but you get the idea...

No such thing

Bed against wall

Pillows up against wall

Lay down, head on pillows, place laptop to the right of me

Enjoy

I put my laptop on a somewhat big pillow and just turn my body to use it.

Beds are for sleeping

And maybe sexytimes

I keep reading this thread title as a sphinx's riddle type question for some reason. #yntkt

I lean against the wall or the back of the bed and put the laptop above my lap so I can curl up around it. :]

Aww.

And maybe sexytimes

I've never had sex in a bed

I can't imagine myself just staying in one position while I use a laptop, be it in a bed, on a couch or on a train. I haven't used a laptop at all for quite some time, though, so maybe my behaviour has changed a little...

inkblot · 2012-06-07 01:01:22

Something like this?

Haven · 2012-06-07 01:20:36

^ I would seriously buy that, but Google reverse-image search reveals that apparently it's just a concept.

inkblot · 2012-06-07 01:24:32

^ I'm sure someone with a sufficient amount of foam and fabric could make a DIY version.

So I ended up putting a little table next to my bed, then setting the laptop on it and lying on my front (or occasionally on my side) while I use the computer.

It's not the most comfortable thing ever, but it at least obviates the need to hold the laptop and it frees me to move around a little bit more.
