Laptop Strap Support - for couch or bed

 by reprint
This is something i made after months of straining my neck while looking down at my laptop when sitting on the couch.
It only really works if you sit like i do when on the couch, slumped back with feet resting on the coffee table..
But, it's also handy for use in bed.
In both instances it helps reduce neck strain, keeps the screen at eye level and keyboard easy to see & use

nonetheless, I sit often enough on my bed with my laptop, and I must thank the guy who thought this up, right?  And no perverseness either!

Wow. This works great. I must say, it's probably the most useful thing I've ever made.

very nice, i made my own simpler version with two cheap belts and some string. works great. i've had the problem where when i'm sitting like this its very comfortable but very inconvenience of it falling down to my stomach. very good 5 stars

The only problem with this stand is the fact that all the heat generated by your laptop is going straight to your legs :) to get away from the heat i use a laptop stand :)
