ABSTRACT:
A new and improved head support apparatus includes a base member and a nonrigid chin rest member, a nonrigid forehead rest member, and a number of peripheral guide members supported by the base member. The chin rest member and the forehead rest member project from the base member a first vertical distance which is longer than a nose of the person when the chin of the person is resting on the chin rest member and the forehead of the person is resting on the forehead rest member. The forehead rest member is spaced from the chin rest member by a horizontal distance which is greater than a height of the nose of the person. The peripheral guide members project from the base member a vertical distance which is longer than the first vertical distance, and the peripheral guide members are spaced from one another on the base member by a horizontal distance which is sufficient to permit the person's head to be restrained between the peripheral guide members when the forehead of the person is resting on the forehead rest member. The base member includes air channels for supplying air to the chin rest member and the forehead rest member. The chin rest member and the forehead rest member also include glass microspheres. A slidable carriage may be provided to adjust the positions of the peripheral guide members to accommodate different head sizes. In addition, an aroma diffuser assembly may be present in the base member.
