An overbed or over chair table is a piece of furniture designed to be used by people who are confined to a bed or a chair for extended periods of time due to illness, injury, or disability. The table is placed over the bed or chair and provides a stable and convenient surface for the user to perform various activities such as eating, reading, writing, or using a laptop.

There are several benefits to using an overbed or overchair table, including: Increased Independence: An overbed or overchair table allows people who are confined to a bed or chair to perform everyday activities independently, such as eating, reading, or using a laptop, without having to rely on others for assistance. Improved Comfort: The table provides a stable and comfortable surface for users to perform activities, reducing the need to hold items on their lap or stretch uncomfortably to reach items. Customizable: The table is height-adjustable and often has a tilting top, allowing users to adjust the table to their preferred height and angle for comfortable use. Versatility: The table can be used for various activities, such as eating, reading, writing, using a laptop, or even as a workspace for crafts or hobbies. Mobility: Some overbed tables have wheels, making them easy to move around, and some models have built-in storage compartments or cup holders, providing additional convenience for users.
