Silent guitar support

So I got me a Yamaha slg200nw and so far loving every bit of it. I can literally practice at a coffee shop and couldn’t even hear myself pluck when there’s ambient music or air conditioner blasting. I only have one issue and that’s the ergonomics. I’m used to playing with my ergo play on my classical guitar. I bought a dyna leather lap rest and it doesn’t really boost the guitar high enough, also the guitar slides a bit. Footstool seems to be a good option, but it doesn’t work everywhere. I wish they made a ergo play or guitar lift for this guitar. You guys got any solutions?

Can you wear a strap?

I use these - the large size. Works like a charm:

I have a medium sized version

I think that’s my mistake. Guitar is just too low for me. I’ll probably grab a big one to test. I’m gonna try the strap for a day or 2.

I got a strap and it feels very weird lol since the silent guitar doesn't have a body. Right when I wanted to test it out, all the coffee shops in my area closed down due to the virus going around. I've been just home and using a foot stool.
