Photos illustrating its use show it both hard side up, and cushion side up. Which is better, or, how do you choose which surface to use?

Cushion side down on your lap for comfort. Put the computer on the hard side.

Both Sides work well, depends on where you are using it, I usually use the hard side as I rest it on my legs when sitting or lying. The children also use the hard side to draw in the car which works out great. your PC can move around on the hard side so when on a bus you may choose the padded side which holds the pc still, but maybe a little cold on your legs. Hope that helps. check the size it is larger than I expected. but the extra width allows a mobile phone to sit next to the pc which is a great benefit.

We always use the soft side down. Its more comfortable against the body and it's more stable when on a hard surface. I picked this up for my Mother so that it would be a solid platform for her laptop and it has worked great!

Most comfortable with soft side down when it is on your lap. Also pencils and pens store in the notch.

The purple side goes down to grip the floor. The purpose of the tan side up is that it's supposed to blend in (color wise) with the floor (if it's a wood floor) so it's not so obvious that you're using grippers. I wasn't sure either so I googled it and found the info from the manufacturers site.

I imagine maple is better because it is a hard wood. I do finer gunsmithing work on my and have a neoprene pad on top of mine, so it take a lot of the abuse vs. the table top.

The soft side is for hard floor, the plastic side is for carpeting. You would have to switch sides when you switched between carpet to laminate. I have moved large, somewhat heavy furniture with them and they are great. If they furniture is real heavy, they may squish down, but they work.

Yes to both. The incline will have more angles available, with only one decline setting. The adjustable bar that controls the angle of the back cushion will not sit in the slot as it's made to do, but there will still be support on either side. I'll add a couple of pictures for you under the product images.

I don't think you would like the look of the seam in the rounded portion of the seat cushion. I assume you would have that side up

A hard surface only. I tried propping it up on a mousepad to minimize the ergo trouble, but I couldn't click with it propped up that way.

I have not used either one. I think texture of the surface would affect the usability, since I've had problems with similar manual pads. I prefer to do my cut-in by hand, especially over rough texture.

It can be used either way. I use both, and definitely prefer it that way. It looks to me like the picture has just a mattress. I also have the slats. I see a previous responder says the construction of the bed is very cheap. I don't find it so at all.

may be is the type of cover you have, or you are a little bit unstable while sitting. I order this same cushion for my patient some months back and he is doing fine with it. I suggest that you use cloth or fabric cover on it.

It 's not real hard, enough for support and not leave any impression on cushion after taking my legs off of it, after all its for support. :) maybe a comparison to those swim noodles, (made of foam) not really hard, but can still float and not hurt when your hit with it. if this helps some.

The harder of the two sides is up. Soft side down. If the pen pokes through the paper then you know you got it wrong.

I use the smooth side, You could use either side, your baked good will come off very easily.

It depends on what you are using it for. the both have ups and downs to them. I prefer the angled ones as they can get into some tighter spaces. Hope this helps.

I am sorry, I have only used the comfort get cushion and have not compared it to anything else.

It is both but I do not recommend this product. The cushion is too thin and provides almost no support. That is why it is so cheap.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!
