There are many suitable options for a lap desk. EH&S does not have specific recommendations, but some features to look for when evaluating options include:
Feet or padding:While some lap desks rest directly on the legs and are padded underneath, others have retractable feet. You then have no weight to bear at all. This design may be better suited for bed and can more easily be used as a screen stand for your desk.
Inclination:Look for the natural tilt of the lap desk. Some have padding that is higher at your knees so your laptop is at an angle, while others have flatter padding. A slight tilt is helpful for posture because it brings the screen to a higher level, but it also causes your mouse to slide down when you’re not holding it. Therefore, consider a flat surface if you mainly use your laptop with an external mouse. Flat surfaces are also recommended for extended periods of typing because of they promote neutral wrist posture.
