My wife and I have our regular TV/movie watching time from around 9-11 every night.
Recently I’ve been working through some games on my Steam Deck (Pokemon GRAND Colosseum, Baldur’s Gate 3, and Control.) and have just really found that using a regular pillow to support my arms is just hot and often blocks the vents. Same issue if I use blankets, plus I feel like these don’t offer enough support.
All this to says — do you use a lap desk? If so, are you married to a particular type or brand?
I’m probably looking for more of a lap desk than a TV tray type thing.

I have this. It looks dumb, but damn, if it isn’t comfortable!
This is kind of what prompted the post. I’ve been seeing ads for these things off and on for a while and always thought it was a bit pricey for what it was haha.
Get a normal breastfeeding pillow from a baby store or used on Facebook marketplace etc.
The support is top notch too. I was an earlier adopter, and the original mount has a tendency to go soft after a while and droop. They sold an upgrade kit for just the cost of parts and it was easy to install. I also had a clip fail a year after purchase, and they sent a replacement free of charge after contacting them.
I’ve since bought a second for my partner. My sole complaint is that the Lenovo Legion Go mount isn’t as sturdy as the Steam Deck mount (single vertical clasp versus x-shaped), and if not positioned perfectly on the Lenovo it can obstruct the ventilation. I used some heat tape to secure it in place, but I wish it wasn’t necessary.
