I am going to use this on a top bunk in my dorm to put my laptop and other things in it. How well does it stay in place without slipping?

Hi Tammy I do not think that you should put your laptop in the caddy it will not fit any way. I use it to for my magazines, cell phone, glasses, tv remote, and things like that. It will slide so you have to tuck it under the mattress good.

Mine slips out from under a very heavy king size mattress that is about 19 inches deep. I have two paper back books and some pillow spray and sometimes my Ipad. I love the product, but what I would suggest to you is if you get this product make sure to purchase heavy duty Velcro and attach to the bed and caddy.

I would be careful about that, if it was me. I guess it depends on how heavy your things are. Maybe try it with the bottom bunk first! That way if it slips, you probably won't hurt your laptop! Mine does not slip, but I don't have anything heavy in it. I have to take everything out of mine and put it back into place every time I change sheets. If you leave things in it, when you change the bottom sheet, it will slip out then for sure. I don't have a bunk bed, so mine is only a few inches from the floor.

I would NOT recommend this for you. It does not hold in place that well with two paperback books.

I don't know that it will stay in place on a top bunk with a laptop. I returned the one I bought because it hung too low on my bed.

It won't stay without help (velcro, large safety pins, etc.). The flap may be good for a few papers and magazines, but none of these caddies stay "unassisted." Even then, my most recent one split at the seams within a month (remote controls, Macbook Air, etc.). The pictured caddy lasted 3 years before it split apart.

They ALL slip out with the exception of that expensive ($20-$40) hard plastic model that uses a flap extending all the way across the mattress. But the model you're looking at for $5 - $7 lasts me 2-3 years with a couple of large-size safety pins to hold the flap to the mattress. (Velcro would also work.)

IT WILL move, but it is great if you secure it with large safety pins, or if for a bunk bed you tie twine to the spring/slats if able. You have to secure it somehow. Otherwise it is great. I pinned the part that goes under the mattress to the bed skirt, with the extra large safety pins, (the bed skirt can move too), but it IS staying secure. I could also pin it to the fabric on my box spring, but not needed. It is a great product! You have to think outside the box to secure it. I really love mine!

There are grips in all four corners so it stays put. I have never had any issues with it slipping or sliding anywhere.

Funny you should ask :-).....that's exactly the reason I bought it. My daughter sets her laptop on it when she's in bed. That way, it doesn't overheat, and it doesn't fall on the floor. Perfect!

A little difficult to keep in place. I have a 17" laptop and it is unstable for this large size.

I bought it for a friend. She said it does make it less slippery. She has in on a desktop in on RV and it stays put.

i haven't had any problems with it moving around--not in bed and not in my favorite upholstered chair. i did find my self slipping off the bed at first, but a change of bottoms and then a change of pad placed under top sheet worked well. i'm going to order another one of these. i love it!!

My son, who uses it on an air mattress at college, says it stays in place pretty much all the time.

Stays pretty in place while I use it, which is often, so yea. I'd say it will stay in place.

I do not think the size matters....I believe it will. The thickness of your laptop may be a problem since the two small prongs are short and yes your laptop may slip. The good side is it is portable and foldable. The stability is my issue.

I used in the bedroom of my travel trailer it works great. It does stay in place until you moved it.

I keep a desk leg (or two) on top of the mat to keep it in place. I don't have any problem. The mat is great.

It stays in place pretty well. It does start to come down after a few weeks of sitting on it everyday and its not really noticeable, like maybe an inch or two? But I pull it back up just to even it out when I clean up.

I don't have an issue with slipping overall. But for very hot classes, I have a manukau towel that works beautifully on the mat.

I have a triple fan that I set on my buddy and then put the laptop on the fan. I have not had any problems with slippage even without the fan. My laptop sits in the middle of the cup holder, light, and pen tray. This keeps it in place.
