Are you trying to find a handy work surface where you want it? Like to write easily or use your laptop while seated in your favorite easy chair, couch, or even in bed? Do you need something portable, light-weight and easy to store? Try using a lapdesk.

Lapdesks are multipurpose, readily portable, light-weight, and they are for everybody. Use them for answering letters or holiday cards, paying bills, eating a meal, working crossword puzzles, taking care of finances, sewing, working on a hobby or craft, keeping your lap cool while using a computer, supporting a book to reduce the tension off the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders and neck. Kids can use them in the car or when doing homework on the couch, in a chair, in bed or even sitting on the floor. You can use them for just about any pursuit that benefits from a flat surface.

Just as valuable at home, school, outdoors or in your automobile, the majority of these portable workspaces feature a carry handle and a cushion base filled with micro beads which allow them to adjust perfectly to your lap. The pillows come in an assortment of fabrics: cotton, micro-fiber, even vinyl for easy cleaning. Some of the cushions are detachable from the work surface.

Made in several sizes, materials and shapes to fit virtually every application, they’ve also been labeled as lap trays, lapdesks, or portable desks. Use yours with a clip-on mini light, and you are ready to save electrical power and continue working with the main lights turned off so you won’t wake up your partner who’s sleeping or watching television.

Work surfaces are manufactured from various materials. Some could be mistaken for fine pieces of furniture with beautiful wood finishes and many are made of a lighter material, neoprene. Some lap desks are intended especially for notebook computers and have vents to cool the computer, non-skid surfaces, and wrist supports to help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome as you key.

It increases the angle of your keyboard and display, improves airflow for improved computer cooling, and fits comfortably into your computer case, suitcase or backpack for easy transport.

Lap desks come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most are rectangular, but a growing number of designs are ergonomically designed to conform to the human shape and hug the body. Smaller sizes are designed for children or for travel.

Some lap desks have elastic straps on the corners for keeping papers organized, especially convenient when you have to get up to answer the door or to reach the phone. Some designs have pockets on the sides for storing pencils, pens, erasers, paper clips, or scissors at the ready. You could even keep a small calculator in one of the pockets.

Just think about a lap desk for a while and you will be able to envision yourself using one in virtually endless situations.
