Be Productive While Stuck in Bed

Bedrest sucks. There’s no way around it. But thankfully there are more and more options to increase your productivity and happiness should you get stuck in bed for a long time (or if you simply spend a lot of time in bed). The Super Gorone Desk caught my eye as one of the better options out there. You can strap down your laptop, tablet or even a book (I think) and then position the desk so you can use it comfortably from a supine position without having to worry about it falling over or on you.

This stand probably can't hold anything heavier than a tablet, but it's very useful.

I’ve had great luck using this swing-away Hammacher Schlemmer stand with my iPad in bed, but I wouldn’t trust it with a laptop or anything much heavier than a tablet. The Super Gorone Desk sells for $121 plus $76 shipping (from Japan). The Hammacher Schlemmer stand is $179.95 plus U.S. shipping.
