I have seen dumbbell presses and flyes done effectively on a fitness ball.

you could use an ironing table 
a bed would be too wide.

Do GI pushups with a weight on your back

Or do the dangerous thing I used to do, lie ACROSS your bed and wedge feet against wall. Too dangerous to try though, I only did it once. Pushups for me  |

Fitness balls are growing in popularity and are encredibly versatile. You will never get the stretch you get on a flye like the way you can on the ball. And it is much easier to do reverse flyes for the back of the shoulders on a ball. Not too mention the core body work.

Ball are great - I love balls - I have two, one big one and one smaller one.
Be VERY careful though - exercising on them can lead to horrendous injury unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Core strength is important and a big balls are the way to get it - go easy at first & you'll have a great time.

well I was thinking doing a bench press on a ball (any size I guess) wouldn't really work because you might pop it
well Like it might be harder and you could fall easy and even hurt yourselfs with the weight.
But it could also be good by helping getting stronger balnace and muscles but some people might not want that

A GI pushup is where you push off the ground and clap your hands before going down again
