I know you can purchase a fan that is placed under the laptop. I believe it blows out the sides while keeping your lap cool. Any kind of Fan ad on's will greatly help.

If they did you should have it repaired A.S.A.P. I remember my fan stopped working and it would just shut down after being on for 10 minutes. I manually opened up my p.c. and fixed it.

I used to sit on my bed and use the laptop, I didn't realise the fabric makes it overheat.

Laptops often only overheat if left plugged into the charger whilse the plug socket switch is still on. The only other case is if you use a full powered program on you computer running. The solution really is to turn your laptop of when you are finished with the laptop. Then you just have to turn it on next time you use it. Hope this helped.
