A cylinder or triangle elongated semi-soft object you can lay lengthwise on your torso and balance the steamdeck at a pivot point on. Think foam yoga roller, stiff bolster pillow or headboard wedge pillow or something where you can rest but still pivot the steam deck around a central point. A large hardcover book or two with something on top also works. Just make sure it narrows near the pivot point/top so you can lay your arms comfortably on either side.
A basic clamshell camping chair if it is stiff enough works as a decent platform to use the steam deck "laptop style" with a bluetooth keyboard especially if you lay a thin wide book behind the steam deck as a backing to prop it up.
