A bed-mounted laptop shelf designed to solve two practical problems:
First, it keeps the laptop on a hard, flat surface so the underside ventilation remains unobstructed. This prevents bedding from blocking the air intake and restricting airflow.
Second, it allows the laptop to sit partly beyond the edge of the mattress, freeing up more sleeping space while keeping the laptop supported and preventing it from tipping or falling off the bed.
The platform rests directly on the mattress, while the lower section hooks securely over the bed rail. There are no hinges, adjustable arms, screws, or moving parts. The complete stand prints as a single solid piece. Easy to slide up/down the bed rail.
Approximate dimensions
Platform: 250 × 170 mm
Total height: 270 mm
Bed-rail slot width: 22.6 mm (typical IKEA bed)
Check that the slot dimensions match your bed rail before printing.
Easy to customize
The model has been designed to make resizing straightforward:
Adjust the mounting slot for a thicker or thinner bed rail using the Push/Pull tool in SketchUp (I'm old school 🙃)
Adapt it to a taller or shorter mattress by lengthening or shortening the vertical stem
Resize the platform when needed for a different laptop size
When changing dimensions, make sure the platform still rests directly on the mattress and that the lower mount remains securely engaged with the bed rail.
If you don't have the means to resize the model yourself, just drop a comment, I'd be happy to resize to your required dimensions.
