I've tried that. On my bed, with my laptop face down on this (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Metal-Folding-Laptop-Table-Fo...) and an external 60% keyboard.

It felt great at first, but there was two major problems for me:

- with the laptop desk I had to slide under it each time I wanted to use the computer and grab the external keyboard, which isn't instantaneous like getting up/sitting down.

- I was waaaayyyy too sleepy lying on my bed. Had 2 minutes micro-naps all the time.

Right now I still often program in my bed, but with the screen vertical and at eyes height on the laptop desk, and my back resting against a bean-bag chair. It's much more comfortable than a standard desk-chair combination, I recommend people try it. I avoid the use of a mouse, however, and my laptop is configured to be very keyboard-friendly, so there's also that to be taken into account. Using a mouse isn't impossible, but I'm much more performant without one.
