A Lap Desk May Revolutionize Your Home Office Set Up

LAP IT UP

Lap desks are well-made alternatives to that other desk you sit at all day. Work from bed because why not? Plus, many of them double as breakfast-in-bed trays.

Whether you’re continuing to work from home, or have a kid going back to school, remote or in person, an essential for both of you may just be a lap desk. Personally, working from home has been excellent because it means sometimes, I get to work in bed. Imagine going to school or work in bed! With a lap desk, you can transform your bedroom or couch into a great place to work. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some top-rated lap desks. 

FOR A DO IT ALL DESK

Sofia + Sam Lap Desk

This lap desk kind of has it all. Not only does it have a memory foam wrist pad, it also has a built in light, to make you look a little better on Zoom or brighten up your space. There is a slot in the back that can fit an iPad, or it can accommodate laptops up to 15”. It also has a pop out slot to keep your phone always at an arm's reach.

FOR A SIMPLE DESK

Honey Can-Do Lap Desk

This is a fairly simple lap desk, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It has a cushion on the bottom, a handle at the top for easy mobility, and the solid surface will help combat heat emitted from laptops and tablets. It comes in six different colors, too.

FOR A FOLDABLE DESK

Rainbean Laptop Desk

Another lap desk/breakfast table hybrid (if you haven’t gotten the hint yet, you never will!). This one is made from solid wood, and the legs fold up, making it easily storable. Plus, if you put this on a regular table, it can kind of function as a laptop stand. Just saying.
