When I work on my laptop I usually have a pillow or something else soft underneath it because it gets so damn hot and I don't feel like burning my legs. While there are many laptop coolers available out there, most of them seem to be made out of metal or have a built in fan that really wouldn't work for someone typing away in bed or on the couch. In comes the Log pillow.
While I'm not really feeling the design, the concept makes sense. Soft cushions against your skin with gaps to let air flow around not only your computer but your legs as well. At $160 though I would be looking to put together my own version.

You can't do this with a laptop, the laptop itself will over heat on a cushy surface, maybe just get a stable table, they are cushy at the bottom for yourself, but have a flat hard surface for a laptop itself so it won't overheat and be damaged.
FYI: I have a very old key lime iBook clamshell, remember the coloured ones... well, that colour part is a sort of rubber, and because I had left it on cushy surfaces, the green rubber bit is not warped.... from overheating.
I meant to say it "is" warped, not "not" warped. I should really check things over before I click 'submit comment'.
My laptop sits on a cool pad and then I set the two pieces on a padded lap desk. It works out fine.
I got myself an iXoft thermal pad, it's like a potholder for your laptop.

I love mine, fits in the laptop bag and works great.
I just use a 0.5 in thick hardcover book as a laptop rest.
