While many people enjoy sitting at a table to dine there are others that prefer sitting on a couch and watching TV and the best way to do this is using a lap tray. This is especially so for the younger generation and a good way to make this easier to do and less messy is to use lap trays.
Lap trays come in a number of materials and styles. They can be a simple rectangle wooden or plastic tray with a small rim to contain any spills and these are generally inexpensive. A Carlisle tray for example is a simple plastic tray and retails for around $3. Similar types of trays can be found in many department stores and are simple and inexpensive products.
If you are looking for something a little more substantial a lapper tray can be a good idea. These generally come with round indents and non slip mats on which you can place a plate and cup and this makes it less likely that they will slide around. The company Lappers makes some nice versions of these in various colors and designs and the price for their trays is around $18 to $25. This is more expensive than a standard tray but is better designed to hold your plate and cup. This makes them good lap trays for kids and the colorful designs of Lappers trays will appeal to them.
If you are looking for a little more comfort then bean bag lap trays could be more your thing. These comprise a tray with a bean bag base which makes it more comfortable to have on your lap and it also gives a little extra stability as the bean bag will mould to the shape of your legs and make it less likely that the tray will slip. Elder Stores make a nice version of this which retails for around $27. The tray comes with a 1 inch deep rim which has a detachable bean bag base which can be removed for washing. This one is good for elderly people although can be used by anyone. Wellhaven gifts for Seniors and Boomers also make good bean bag lap trays which retail for around $30.
For those of you who like breakfast in bed, you can also purchase a breakfast tray which is perfect for this. These generally comprise a tray with short folding legs which can be fitted over your legs as you sit up in bed. UZO1 International makes an excellent version of this which retails for $30. It features a tilting tray which can be used flat for serving breakfast or can be tilted up if you use the tray for working while in bed.
