Ask HN: How to Work from Bed?

3 points by gomangogo 6 years ago | 3 comments

I like working from bed in my laptop, but I feel that my posture is unhealthy for the long-run. I am looking for a healthy way to work from bed without breaking my neck. Do you have any method or tool to work from bed ?

https://altwork.com/ has a special chair you can recline to a almost a bed (or rather it looks like you're at the dentist). Even they say "However, most experts agree that people should change positions and move throughout the day."

Too expensive : $7,650

I have a monitor arm on my desk and I swivel it all the way around to the other side of my desk tilting to face downwards so the screen is usable from a recliner:

A heavy bedside table would support that, or you can get workstation ones like this but in some cases you actually need a PC as a counterbalance:

It's still a project-in-progress but this is my sit/stand/recline setup - https://imgur.com/a/IwOTOpz
