Would you like something portable, light in weight and easy to store for these needs? Your should try using a lapdesk.
Lapdesks are versatile, readily portable, light in weight, and they are for everybody. Use them for writing letters or holiday or anniversary cards, paying bills, eating a snack, doing crosswords, taking care of finances, sewing, working on a hobby or craft, keeping your legs cool while using a computer, supporting a book to take the stress off the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders.

The pads come in an array of fabrics: cotton, micro-fiber, even vinyl for easy maintenance. Some of the cushions may be detached from the surface.
