Stop Holding Your Phone Above Your Face

We compare the best phone and tablet stands for bed, sofa, and lying-down use — hands-free viewing without arm ache or dropped phones.

Desk stands are built for sitting upright at a fixed distance, which doesn't work for watching something lying on your side or flat on your back. Bed stands use long, flexible arms and clamps to position a screen exactly where you need it, hands-free. We've compared six options for stability, reach, and how well they hold position overnight.
