How do Slippery sheets work for patient transfer?
A 'slippery sheet' is placed on a bed or gurney under the patient's body to allow them to be easily moved over the surface of the bed.

If you have no other option but to use the machine on bed, make sure you use some large wooden board or any large hard book under the machine to allow for air circulation under the laptop. ----- It's OK to use your laptop on the bed if you have something underneath it.
