Depends, maybe OP has one of those tablet stand which are super useful to watch content in bed. I bought 2 of them (different brand and model) and it's one of the best investment i made, one for my bed and one for my treadmill. Using them with S7+ but S8 ultra would fit.
Not sure if the link is allowed and we bought ours years ago so probably not the same company but it looks like this one.

Sorry I didn't know any better way to describe it. But what you described, was the exact thing, that actually does not work

This one specifically, was the one linked in another thread a couple months ago about it. I don't think there are any that have enough tension in the spring/joints to accomodate the S8 Ultra (yet).
Unless there's another name for these articulating mounts..
I use this with a Surface Pro 8, which is heavier than a deck by about .4 pounds, and it works with no issues.

I even used a non metal bendy one for a bit before that one and it worked fine
I supposed it is this one, by the looks of it and price: https://www.amazon.com/Samhouse-Rotating-Aluminum-iPhoneXS-Nintendo/dp/B07P8YHKLF/ref=sr\_1\_3?crid=3BRWM4HVP97QQ&keywords=arm+for+tablet&qid=1646836365&sprefix=arm+for+tablet%2Caps%2C134&sr=8-3
For a standalone tablet. I love the iPad. However, if you have to lie on your back, hard to hold onto the tablet and draw at the same time.
If you can lie down next to your computer, or get a screened Bluetooth. Tablet, you can get an arm that can hold a 11 inch or smaller iPad/tablet.

I would say non of them are good to hold while in bed... They are just too heavy and hard to do it. In my opinion ,I prefer to get one tablet holder for bed.

Good idea! I don't have a tv exactly (big projector) that i can use at night at least. But you gave me a good idea. One of these can at least hold up my phone or switch
You don’t have a waterproof protector and an above shower mount?
If a keyboard is not necessary, I would recommend a tablet mount/holder like this one.
If you are feeling lazy Google bed tablet holder and you can buy one with more versatility. Like This
I ordered and returned a couple before landing on this one: https://amazon.com/dp/B07P8YHKLF/ Now I have two, they work so well! One for bed, one for by the sofa.
I use this tablet mount to hold my PW; I replaced the tension-holder with the magnet from this magnetic mount, and put magnetic plates in my Kindle case -- so easy to get on and off. Paired with this page-turner, the setup works like a dream.
I dont see anywhere where you posted a link.
​
is that the one?
Clamp a Kindle to the bed and use a hand or something else to reach the touch screen to flip the pages - aim does not have to be accurate for this to work, the page turn zone on the screen is quite large.
Something like

Or

If the Kindle is too far away, you could use a larger font and a remote page turner - though tbh this thing looks like it might be a bit crappy? https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2021/06/14/remote-control-page-turner-for-kindles-and-other-ereaders/
Or switch to audio, Smart Audiobook Player is a good app that you can load all your audiobooks into.

Haven’t used it myself (although has been sitting in my cart for a while) but you could use a stand like this if you’d like to be hands free. Or something like a pillow pad or some other kind of other tablet stand that would be compatible for use on a bed.
Personally I use a smaller tablet in bed. I have a similar sized tablet in the form of a Boox note 3 and it would be to heavy and unwieldy to use in bed without any kind of stand etc.

may I also recommend a product like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P8YHKLF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
allows me to keep my ipad at eye level with a standing desk, or elevate while washing dishes or lying down. I have chronic neck issues and this is a life saver.
