does it go across the bed far enough so the ipad will be in straight front of you when you are lying on your back or do you need to turn your head

Hi Bill & Linda - the base is 4 in high and 5 in from edge to the center pole. If you can get that under your bed, you will have 24 in from the pole to the center of the viewing screen. You should be able to measure to see if that gives you enough room for the viewing to be right in front of you when in the bed. Hope this helps.

I put the base right up against the side of the bed and I can sit and read in bed with the ipad directly in front of me

I used the unit in my sofa and arm chair, but to answer your question, it seems to reach just about anywhere. I would rotate it up above me while I was laying down on the couch, and it worked perfect. I think the reach would be up around 2 feet from the side of your bed. Bare in mind, that the unit has to be right beside your bed, and I found that it was in the way when I jumped out of bed. I had it positioned it above me when I was watching TV and to the side when I was in my arm chair. The unit is well built and worth the investment. I hope this answers your question. I have it my house in Arizona, but I am going to buy another one with spring for my house up north.

Yes, it will reach across and adjust high enough that it will be straight in front of you. But you can also lay on your side and adjust to read in comfort. I've had the LEVO for awhile, even taking it with me on vacation, and honestly have not one single thing bad to say about it!

You do not need to yurn your head. It can be adjusted to any position, height and orientation

From the manufacturer - this unit offers our furthest reach at 18" from the edge of the base to the center of the platform. Of course it is not going to reach to the center of a king size bed, but should easily reach comfortably to you lying on one side of your bed.

Not really. The chair lays back quite a bit. When I read from my iPad I have to use a pillow to prop it us so I can see it better.

It's not a formal adjustment, but yes you can position it a bit by moving the back leg forward and back. In the photo they show it is at full recline, but you can shimmy it up closer to the base to have your iPad rest more vertically. The base back leg is rubberized so it should stay in place but there is no formalized click or anything to have it click into various resting levels.

Since I don't use the arm, I had to assemble it now and verify. The answer's a solid yes. You can definitely look at the iPad when flat on your back.

Yes can lie flat against. Only goes to sleep when it covers the front of iPad

Yes. :) I put mine horizontally, so the recharging cable is to the side. I don't think it's as stable if you put the iPad vertically portrait style though. I have an exact same one for my iPhone, they sit next to each other on my desk. Works great for me.

It doesn't fold like that in the standard position (home button on the same side as the on/off switch) but but you can flip your ipad then reconnect the magnetic bar and it will fold behind the ipad just fine.

No .. Not while just laying there. I suppose if you mashed it into it, it would but the way the straps hold the iPad in, it keeps space between the screen and keyboard under normal use

Yes, in landscape position. None of the iPads will fit in the portrait position, however that is a moot point since the stand rotates and angles so that a locked, clamped portrait position is possible. Also possible is every conceivable angle imaginable, taking into consideration bed covers, angle of mattress, lumps in blankets and all surfaces I have been able to come up with, including a bathroom sink. It also adds some protection in drops off a desk to a carpeted floor. It is not advertized as a protective device but it has taken some blows for all my past and present iPads on metal objects. Your results may vary. No iPad can be slid in between the clamps, fully extended in the portrait mode, however, once again, a moot point, it doesn't have to do that because of the design of the stand. There is no better stand anyone has come up with.

The recline position depends on how you have it installed. There is more of a recline when it's rear facing than when it's front facing. My boys are now sitting front facing, and their heads do not fall forward when they sleep.

Yes. You can position it so that the iPad is parallel with the floor face up or down. Literally you can position the device in ANY direction. I loved it so much that I bought one for my father for Christmas. I'm a dentist and use it over my patient's head with a pair of blue tooth headphones so they can watch TV or a movie while I work. They love it! The iPad is parallel to the floor at that point. You'll find so many other uses for it. Hope you enjoy!

The iPad mine won't rest on the flip up back rest. A full-size iPad would fit pretty well.

Why would you want to use it for sleeping flat in bed? I wouldn't think so...that's not what it's designed for so there would be no support for the upper part of your head. If you turned on your side you would have neck support but no head support.

I haven't had an opportunity to try this yet. I found the base so heavy (which is good for stability) that it didn't suit my needs. I seem to recall you can do this with your iPad in portrait or landscape directions.

My sister and brother have iPad Minis and I have the larger iPad. All of us have the corresponding keyboard and in chatting with them, none of us have any issue concerning stability with the keyboard on our laps or a table top. None of us have used it in bed, so can't help you there.

Not at all. You can be completely on your back in bed or in any position you like.

Yes, that's the way I have mine configured next to bed. The spring helps to open and stays open when upright.As a bedside quick access safe, I practiced combination, open and grasp several times to get the feel for the upright config. Now it's just muscle memory. 4 seconds to have at the ready.
