Using The Oculus Rift S in bed.
I have medical conditions that do not allow me to sit or stand for long periods of time, Therefore I usually use The Rift Laying on my back. As you can imagine, this limits my use to basically watching TV and movies.
My suggestion is the option to rotate the Y axis while setting up the floor settings. This would allow people with disabilities or anyone just relaxing in bed to prop against some pillows and enjoy the Rift as if they were standing. The settings should not be too difficult, as it would just rotate the Y axis and play as if the user was sitting.
It would greatly help disabled users as well as open up a new comfortable way for everyone to play after a long day.

I have spontaneous cerebral spinal fluid leaks and when they happen I am stuck flat on my back until it heals so my brain doesn't herniate and kill me. I would love to use my VR to play games in bed. Any pointers and I'm there! Even if I need to update my device, I'll trade up.

Great idea! I have a friend that has pretty serious back issues meaning he can't walk much further than a mile without severe back pain, he loves VR and enjoyed it when I showed it to him, but after a while, his back started playing up as he was sitting in a chair, so I tried to trick the Rift S by setting it up laying down, but it has gyroscopes, accelerometers, altimeters etc. which knew I was laying down. he was OK with the idea of only playing for an hour at a time but I could tell he wanted to play more, this type of setting would really help!
