Had the same thought recently and was checking out the exact same table, escpially because I occasionally sit on the floor. Haven't pulled the trigger to get one of these but still very interested.

I don't draw in bed but I use an desk easel sometimes and I even put my tablet on it

I just do this.

Sorry for the quality, I drew this a year ago and the photo is also kind of blurry. This is how I draw nearly every day and I don't run into any of the problems that every other drawing position seems to entail.

Basically, I have my mattress flush up against a wall with a chair shaped pillow for support. I slide down on it a bit so my shoulders and neck are still straight but I'm in a kind of hammock position. From there I bring both of my knees up and lay a clipboard across them and put my sketchbook on that. This let's me draw straight on while also laying down. (In the photo I drew one leg draped over my knee which works for short spells, but usually I have them similar to the second figure.)

Bonus points are that I have my T.V. at the foot of my bed hooked up to my computer so I can bring references up and just glance up from my sketchbook at them, and I have a wireless keyboard with built in trackpad so I don't have to worry about any logistic issues with navigating my computer. I've been doing this for a year now and it's top-tier.

Its not exactly a laptop desk but my laptop is right next to it on one of those foldable tables with my scanner. This one I use just to draw, I do mostly traditional, it has 2 reclining drawing tables, the one on top is made with hinges, and then the one under it is just resting on a couple of rails, so you pull it up and out of the notches to bring it to the front and then back. Its pretty sturdy, not the pretties but I like it.

I guess I could add something like a side board so that I can put the laptop on it but instead I think Ill just add another lamp.

my wacom is too fucking big. I have thought about moving my desk to my bed, but it seems retarded. I have thought about getting a second hand ipad to doodle and then bring it onto my desktop if an idea is good.

I just got myself one of these
Definitely on the small side since it's meant for mobile tablets, but it can still support my PC tablet and I can draw with it on my lap or chest now
