Could it be used when laying down (on a bed)?

You could, but the computer would still be off to your side. The main table (without the wings) would only overhang your bed by about 9".

It is quite stiff. I put it under one of my beds. I suppose you could try it.

Yes, but it is lower than a typical loft bed so depending on the thickness of the mattress the person sleeping undernear may be very uncomfortable.

It is designed to protect your mattress from wetness so my suggestion would be to not use it to sleep on but put a sheet on top as you normally would.

I had not thought about that, but it could happen - not sure if you'd want to use as a pillow for your head, but if your bed is extremely soft and you're looking for some lumbar support, I suppose that might be useful.

Yes I think as long as your bed isn't reclined upwards I don't see why it wouldn't work

My husband uses it during side sleep. While it can be used for someone on their back, it's not ideal. So the answer is yes, with limitations.

Possibly. I have only used mine to provide extra cushion when sleeping on a cot. I slept on it for a total of 8 successive nights and it worked fine for that. It is about 3 inches thick.

In my experience ....no.....might be wise to do that with a somewhat soft base such as a couch or your bed.

I am not sure if it can be used in a laying down position, my brother always had it upright in his semi. He got a new semi that has a built in freezer/fridge. The Coleman Powerchill that I got for him worked fine for about 1 years then quite.

hmmm, depends. Are you joking? why would you want to use it lying down? If someone has to use it lying down they might not have the strength or coordination to do it lying down. I could probably do it, but not effectively. Someone could probably do it with their upper extremities if someone held it, or even with the feet if someone held it up.

Yes. you can. However, I use it at night with one or two pillows below my head. One word of caution is that the farther you extend the IPAD arm the more prone it will start to fall. This is due to the weight. To counter this you can add a weight on the other end to balance it. What I do is I don't extend it too far and lay near the edge of my bed. I love it! My wife does not. So it's a mixed bag.

yes.it would. But one thing to remember is that it is a steamer so your bed might be somewhat damp when you do that.

I've only used it on airplanes and while sitting at my desk at work. So, I can't tell you if it would help when sleeping in a bed.

Update: I just tried laying on the device under the heaviest parts of my back. It worked just fine, and the wheels did not make the clacking that makes it sound like the device is straining.I don't think that I'd use it that way myself, however. The ball-like things inside were really uncomfortable on my back due to the amount of pressure at those points. (I wasn't very careful where I placed them during the experiment.) I'd have no such concerns about using it in Vibrate mode while laying on it.

I think it would be too low and not close enough to your bed. I would get something specifically made for co sleeping.

I use it on my couch but depending on how you use it in bed I suppose it could be. I'd want an additional pillow behind it if I was using it sitting up in a bed.
