            Here is what Apple says.

     

            “ Set up your notebook on a stable work surface that allows for adequate air circulation under and around the computer.

             Do not operate your notebook on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents.

             Never place anything over the keyboard when   operating the computer. Never push objects into the ventilation openings.”

           Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

           If you keep the computer always plugged in, make sure that at least twice a month

           run it on battery until battery charge level drops to about 50-40%.

     

           Please don’t discharge the battery completely. Discharging battery completely will reduce battery health.
