So far I’m very pleased with this product, as another reviewer wrote it looks bulky but is in fact very lightweight and sturdy. My laptop was getting quite hot when playing full screen videos or using graphics applications, and I was constantly maneuvering it to lessen the burn. This has alleviated all of that, and it’s very comfortable. You can sit with it in bed with legs horizontal or knees up; the textured material stops it from slipping down.
The only thing that seems innacurate about the product description – on the company website – is being able to get a mouse into the compartment that runs through the middle; it’s simply too narrow. Ideal for packing away long wires (I had power cord, headphones, mouse and external hard drive lying about, which is also sitting in there) and the battery pack, but that’s about all. As for the distinctive smell mentioned… mine doesn’t have any odour.
In summary, a great – perhaps necessary – laptop accessory.

I bought this out of frustration of trying to find a laptop stand that you could actually perch on your lap! Not one of the ones where you’d attach it to a desk.
I was thinking of giving up when I came across one of these. It’s really quite cool and comes in a nice chocolate colour which is quite modern and blends nicely with the laptop colours.
One suprise was that it is like a solid foam style rather than a squishy style which at first I thought was a negative but it is actually quite a positive. It makes the laptop eye level and when typing it means your hands are level and wrists supported by the laptop so reduces risk of RSI.
Absorbs heat well and I have not had that uncomfortable heat dispersing itself in to my leg. It’s very light and has a grippy material to hold your laptop and has an area where you can store accessories but I personally do not have a need for such a thing.
It supports a 15.4 inch laptop perfectly and there’s no over-hang or anything like that. You can reverse for a 17 inch laptop and it works just the same, supports in the same way etc.
Great piece of kit for the money. Definitely handy for the people who want to use a laptop around the house but don’t necessarily want to be hunched over a desk or coffee table but also do not want their laptop raising their core body temperature! (I am typing this review from the comfort of my bed)
So in my personal opinion a great buy.

It’s very lightweight and can handle small laptops as well as 17″ and larger sizes,infact I’m using the small side (you just flip it over if you want to use the larger surface area on the cushtop) for my Dell Vostro 17″ laptop.The cover is washable and has a zip on one side so it can be removed for cleaning.
Usual Belkin lifetime warranty but what can go wrong with a product like this unless somehow you tear the fabric.
Cushtop is very handy for having your laptop on your bed or lap.

I have a 17″ laptop which gets extremely hot on the lap. I was pleasently surprised that the CushTop does exactly what has been specified by the product details. Upon first appearance it looks quite thick and bulky, but this is actually an advantage because my screen is now perfectly at eye level. Its is very light and quite sturdy and most importantly I cannot feel any heat from my laptop. Only disadvantage which is minor is that the smell of the CushTop is pretty distinctive! Its is quite overpowering but I have been researching on the net that the smell does wear off fortuntely. I would definately recommend this product its one of the best on the market.

I bought this as a present for my husband who has used it numerously since he got it, he thinks it is great for balancing his laptop without worry of it slipping or moving, and raises the laptop to a better height whether on his lap or at the table. Highly recommend
