Guide to Work From Bed Set Up | Why I am Doing it? - xoxo MrsMartinez

I have been working from my bed since the beginning of my daughter's school break. Despite the many negative reasons on why I should not work from bed, I still did it anyway. Because why not?!

My daughter stays in the bedroom with me. While she is watching her favorite show on television, I can work from the comforts of my bed. We save on electricity because we only turned on one air conditioner instead of two if we stay in different rooms. Plus, I can monitor what she's watching or doing. It's win-win situation.

Youpin Jiezhi Folding Small Tray Table (JZ0021) | Features

How did I do it? One of the first things I bought was a white foldable tray table for laptop. It is from Xiaomi and it is described as Youpin Jiezhi Folding Small Tray Table (21.5 inches x 14.1 inches x 10.7 inches) and weighs approximately 1331g (1.3kg). What I like about it....

once fixed the legs are sturdy
designed with a tablet slot (16.5 inches in length) and 2 pen holders
charging hole to avoid messy wires

My laptop is 17.5 inches and it fits perfectly with some room for my celphone stand and a wireless mouse. I bought it from a Shopee store named Norton Store (All Lucky Innovation PH) for only PhP498 including shipping. The retail price is PhP599.

Prior to my new laptop tray table, I used to lie on my stomach while working on my laptop. Sometimes, I use my old tray table but it has borders around the table making it difficult for me to type as I blog. I am so happy that I found one that looks minimalist and works well for me.

I bought also bought a wooden tray table that doubles as my daughter's iPad holder when she watches YouTube videos.

Made from high quality bamboo material, this wooden lap desk is safe, sturdy and durable to use. It measures

The table to can be flat as seen in the photo or can be tilted in 4 varying angles. It has a small drawer that can fir usb, pens and even eraser.

Tylex XE07 Power Strip Box | Features

Other things to consider when working from your bed set-up are the proximity of your work area to the electrical socket for a good power supply. I don't have any problem with that but if you do, I highly recommend Tylex XE07 Power Strip Box 5 Universal Socket Port + 3 USB Charging Port 2M Thicken Copper Cord 100V-250V to keep all the unsightly wires well-hidden inside the minimalist designed box. I bought this from Tylex Lazada Mall for PhP 749 each. I bought 2 pieces for our bedside tables. Shipping fee is only PhP 54. With Lazada voucher and coins, Shipping voucher, Tylex shop voucher and promotion, the total amount I paid is only PhP1,242.24. What a steal!

I don't recommend placing a drink or food on the table as you work. Good thing, I have my bedside table for all that. Everything else is within arm's reach so that I can work seamlessly all the time. Lastly, your WIFI connection better have a great signal in your bedroom than elsewhere in the house.
