The fans are located on the left, right and back. As long as you make sure nothing is directly obstructing them it will be fine on the floor, it's where i put mine when i feel like being a lazy slob and gaming from bed lol.
You can put the PS4 on top of pretty much anything, but it's best not to put it on top/under anything that generates its own heat (so other computing devices). A laptop mat would be fine, so would a steel rack. You don't need to worry about the power supply either, it's built into the console.
