The setup I described is pretty versatile. I would think it would work in that position. If you want to lay the Handy horizontally across something like the bed for lying down on your side or if you want to stand in front of it, you can straighten the gooseneck and use the handle as a counterweight or a part to place a counterweight onto. You could also unscrew the gooseneck from the handle and secure it to a mic stand horizontally next to the bed.
What I’m saying is, with some creativity and a handful of zip-ties, the world is your oyster.
