Buying guide
A few quick checks will help you find a table that fits your bed or chair and suits how you plan to use it.
Measure the height and width under your bed or chair to make sure the table's base will slide underneath comfortably.
A C-shaped cantilever base slides under most beds and chairs, while a wider H-base can offer extra stability if the table won't need to slide underneath.
Consider whether you'll mainly be eating, reading, writing or using a laptop, as this can affect the tabletop size and tilt function you need.
Height-adjustable and tilting tables offer the most flexibility for different positions and users.

Yes, most overbed tables are designed to work equally well with a bed, armchair or wheelchair, thanks to their adjustable height and sliding base.
Most models offer adjustable height, and many also have a tilting top, so you can set the table at the angle and level that suits you best.
