This foldable breakfast table from Greenco is my pick for the best "tray" you can get on Amazon. Made from natural bamboo, it's simple, durable, and guaranteed to work for all future meals in bed. It has foldable legs as well as two sturdy handles that make it easy to store and carry. Plus, with lips around all sides, it's great at preventing any potential spills. No wonder it has more than 500 reviews and a 4.5-star rating on Amazon.
Promising review: "I enjoy this tray! We use it as a bed tray & find it to be very convenient as well as comfortable to use. The bamboo feels cool & smooth. The tray space is on the smaller side so if you need a large area to set things on this won't be the right one for you. It suits my needs well!"
