Nettie Tray
A Nettie Tray (also known as a bed tray, breakfast tray, or overbed table) is a portable, often wooden or plastic, surface designed to be used while sitting in bed, a chair, or a sofa. It facilitates eating, writing, reading, or working in a comfortable, relaxed position without requiring a traditional table.
Material
- Wood: Traditionally made from wood (often beech, oak, or maple) offering a classic aesthetic and durability. Wood trays may be coated with a protective varnish or lacquer.
- Plastic: More modern trays are frequently constructed from plastic (often polypropylene or ABS) making them lightweight, easy to clean, and less expensive.
- Metal: Some trays utilize metal frames for added stability, particularly those designed for heavier loads or medical use.
- Bamboo: An increasingly popular eco-friendly option, bamboo trays are lightweight, strong, and sustainable.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a Nettie Tray is to provide a convenient surface for activities when a traditional table is impractical or unavailable. Common uses include:
- Eating: Breakfast in bed, snacks, or full meals.
- Writing/Reading: Working on a laptop, taking notes, or enjoying a book.
- Entertainment: Watching movies, playing games.
- Medical/Recovery: Supporting meals or activities for individuals with limited mobility.
Function
Nettie Trays typically incorporate several functional features:
