I use a round, lap hoop - probably 14". I, too, sit in my comfy chair with my supplies on the chair by my side along with my light. I have no issues with the quilt being on my lap or moving it around. For myself, I would not like a floor frame/hoop of any type as I think I would have to be in one position for too long. I tend to 'scritch' around alot whenever I'm sitting and quilting is no different! I just use a cheapie one from JAF. I think I'm on #2 after about 15 yrs of quilting. Works well for my budget.
