I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

    I needed a “lap desk” or something to put my laptop on, but I wanted it to be low-profile and I could only find a wooden cutting board. Now wooden cutting boards are the only thing I use as lap desks because most actual lap desks I find are super bulky.

    • Duuuude. That’s a creative idea I might also use if I need a lap desk again. And something easy for if you need to put a laptop on a soft surface, won’t be wobbly like the bean bag ones.

      I also ended up doing this after my dad suggested it as an idea… and it’s actually a really great suggestion, they work fantastically well for this purpose!

        Yeah it’s exactly what I was looking for! The one I’m currently using was actually the only cutting board that was big enough in the store that I was in, so it has goofy cookings decals all over it 😂 cutting board with decals

      The “epicurian” brand is perfect for this, or their knockoffs. Its like 1/4" thick (6mm) composite wood. I have one that even fits in my laptop bag - way better than any designated “lap board” I’ve ever found.
