Luxury Lap Trays – The Ultimate Gift for Comfort, Style and Everyday Living
Dec 15, 2025
Why the Humble Lap Tray Deserves a Little Luxury
There’s something wonderfully comforting about a lap tray. It’s a small everyday object that simply makes life easier – whether you’re enjoying breakfast in bed, working from the sofa, or helping a loved one stay comfortable while dining in their chair.
At Made in the Mill, our luxury lap trays take that everyday practicality and turn it into something truly special.
Handmade in Britain, each tray combines craftsmanship, beauty and functionality – designed to bring warmth, style and comfort into every home.
Built for Everyday Comfort
A lap tray shouldn’t wobble, slide, or feel awkward to balance. That’s why every Made in the Mill tray features a carefully shaped cushioned beanbag base, filled for perfect stability on any lap. Whether you’re sitting in an armchair, on the sofa, or in bed, the tray adjusts to your body and stays level.
The smooth, wipe-clean surface makes it ideal for meals, crafts, laptops, or even jigsaw puzzles – all while protecting your legs from heat, or spills. You can add an additional non slip mat to the top (available to purchase separately) to protect the top of the tray from warm plates and cups and to make the top non slip, too!
A Gift That Feels Personal
Finding a gift that feels both thoughtful and practical can be tricky. That’s what makes a Made in the Mill lap tray such a perfect choice.
Each design has its own personality – from floral prints…
… and woodland scenes to country cottages, cats, dogs and birds…
… or modern geometric patterns. You can match someone’s taste, or personality perfectly.
Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, housewarming, or a just-because present, a handcrafted lap tray says, “I wanted to get you something you’ll truly use and love.”
Designed and Made in Britain
We’re proud to say that every lap tray we make is designed, printed and assembled right here in Lancashire, UK.
The wood effect frames are cut and finished by British craftspeople, the fabrics are lovingly selected by British designers, and every cushioned beanbag base is sewn and filled by hand. That means your lap tray isn’t just a useful household item – it’s also a piece of British creativity, made with pride and care.
Comfort Meets Style
Your home should reflect who you are, and even something as simple as a lap tray can add a touch of personality to your décor.
A luxury lap tray becomes part of your daily living. It’s a place for tea and biscuits, for writing letters, for breakfast in bed. It’s small enough to tuck away, but beautiful enough to keep on display.
Every detail matters – from the smooth varnished finish to the soft beanbag cushion beneath. The end result feels indulgent without being extravagant.
Perfect for All Ages and Lifestyles
Lap trays are for anyone. From busy parents to retired couples, from students working in small flats…
to grandparents enjoying their evening meal in comfort…
Lap trays are especially helpful for anyone who finds bending, or reaching difficult, providing a safe, steady surface that brings everything to you.
Built to Last, Made to Love
In a world of disposable products, it’s reassuring to own something made to last.
Made in the Mill lap trays are built from durable materials that stand up to daily use. The sturdy frame, high-quality print, and strong stitching all ensure longevity.
