Will it be stable in bed, or on my lap or on my stomach when lying down? Or, does it need a hard flat surface? Thanks

I think it would do ok in bed. The base should keep it steady enough. Might have to try that.

The advantage of the unit is that it folds very flat and is very light and travels well. It would probably work in a bed but not on your stomach unless you added additional support. If you wanted to use it in all situation, you would need to secure the device in a few places with tape.

This thing broke within the first day of having it. Granted it was my 7 year old that broke it, but I found it fiddly and not sturdy at all.

It's fairly small, so it's not too stable on your lap. Stomach, maybe, depending on how closely it resembles a hard flat surface :) On the bed should be OK.

It needs a hard flat surface. Definitely not for bed, lap or on your stomach - flops right down.

I have never tried it in bed. I have only used it on a hard flat surface. Sorry I can not answer you question. It works great on a table top or desk top though.

I've never tried it on the bed, stomach, etc., however, the little flap at the back fits in a little grove. I don't see a problem with it. I think you would be very satisfied.

No because it lays flat on a surface. It would be unstable beyond a sitting position or laid flat.

Not flat. I think it's perfect. Far enough to sleep. I would say 75 degrees

Yes, on my lap it works without problems. In bed, when you lie down it may be difficult :-)

I don't think it would great in bed, but it might be ok... It needs to be on a flat surface (it seems to me). Works great on my desk though and I love it!!!

I put a small pillow on my lap with a tv tray on top of that and then the computer and base of top of that. I like to use it with the leg on the base down so that would dig into the lap without something to rest it on. It is a good height then too.

No it doesn't lay completely flat, certainly not enough to lay on your stomach. Also, it takes body weight/balance to keep it in a recline position. Legs are still slightly bent at the knees when fully reclined.

If it was sitting on a flat stable surface it could easily support that weight without falling apart. The problem is if you're in a bed or something squishy, it will likely tip over if it's standing on its own (i.e. not over your lap.)

I would say that it would do better on a hard surface however! I did use it in my bed over the weekend and it felt ok.

I've successfully used this product while laying flat on my bed. The screen is parallel with the ground, but the body of the laptop is most definitely not - my computer doesn't "flatten" out and using a laptop in that fashion would be difficult. It's worth noting, I do this with a separate bluetooth keyboard and touchpad sitting on my lap.

It works well while laying down. You might want to have a pad underneath you just in case.

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

Surface of mine is medium firm,works well for me, but i sleep on my stomach mostly then on the side also.

We bought this bed to use for house guests, and it is great for that. But I think it requires a flat surface for set up. Between that concern and the weight, I'd recommend a frameless air bed as a better alternative.

I use it when I am reclined in my lazyboy,I use it with my iPad.I sometimes eat my dinner on it as I am handicapped. It sits on my lap very flat.It doesn't move or slide. I don't use it with my feet flat on the floor with it on my lap, but if you are sitting with your legs up it works great, at least for me it does. I hope this helps.

We always use the soft side down. Its more comfortable against the body and it's more stable when on a hard surface. I picked this up for my Mother so that it would be a solid platform for her laptop and it has worked great!

Agree with the other poster that if you flatten it well it will just lay there. You could screw it down but that would create a trip hazard and not add value.
