The comment was necessarily brief but I'm happy to expand on it.
Basically the screen is set up so it's at about 45 degrees facing downward. It is indeed hanging above me so it's easy to get in and out from under it. With my head on the pillow(s) it's about perpendicular to where my stare falls naturally. I use a 40" 4K screen (for the optimal pixel size for a Mac) in portrait mode.
With the laptop I open it as far as it goes (almost flat), sit the bottom edge on my person and then tilt the screen forward a little so it's in the roughly the same angle as the big screen would be. I keep it in position using the pinky and thumb of one or both hands and use the remaining fingers to type from each side.
When I'm using a keyboard I'll hold it above my chest on one side between my pinky and my palm, holding the bottom up with my thumb and support it on the other side with my thumb roughly half way or so. I use the remaining fingers to type.
If it sounds weird it is, but I didn't plan any of it, it just evolved that way and ended being the most comfortable way for the given equipment. I had to watch myself typing on the keyboard just now to figure out what I was doing. I don't touch type and I have to look at the keyboard.
When I'm just using the touchpad for extended periods (when reading or watching videos) I just rest the keyboard on my stomach or the bed, since that takes the least effort.
It is super minimalist, by design. Right now it's just a screen arm (bolted to the wall), keyboard and computer. About the same as you'd find on an office desk.
