I hope I will be able to use the Steam Frame controllers in much the same way.
Comment on What solution, if any, do you use for gaming in bed?

I haven’t tried it on the Deck yet, but expect it to work:
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. Lean the Deck (or Switch) on its side on something, such that with your head on the pillow you can look at it. With one joy-con in each hand, you can reposition your arms however you want and independently of each other.
This method with Ace Attorney games on the Switch is my sleeping pill. Works amazingly well for me. After I finish my current Ace Attorney game, I plan to finally try it with the Steam Deck and a different visual novel.
Foreseeable caveat: charging the joy-cons will be annoying. If you put them in a Switch to charge (which is my only charging solution right now), they get paired to it automatically and will need to be re-paired with the Deck.

I’d be shocked if not. There’s just no reason whatsoever for it to not work.

Well, I was shocked when I couldn’t use my Quest 1 controllers on my PC. But luckily Valve is much more open.

Thanks! Sadly, I don’t think this works well, cause I usually sit up and am awake while I play.

Awake while you play? Weird! :P
Kidding aside, if you can find or improvise any way for the Deck to stay where you want it to be without having to hold it with your hands (for example, place it on your lap), I still recommend the joy-cons. The arm freedom is amazing.
Other split controllers are available, for example certain VR controllers.

To the user who downvoted me and hasn’t posted on Lemmy in more than a year… Idk what to say actually, it’s weird that you’d do that.

There are several of what I can only assume are puppet accounts with no posts or comments who’s sole purpose seems to be vote manipulation.
