I use a heavy laptop while sitting on a couch many hours each day, and found that the weight of a lapdesk eventually bothered my knees, so looked for a way to take the load off. My solution was simple: I picked up a small, cheap, rectangular trash can and laid it on it's side between my knees and supported by the couch and a near-by coffee table. It keeps the weight off me, my knees cool, and even the laptop cool. I also added a bit of rubber to keep is more securely in place.
