Abstract

A comfortable, smooth, and sanitary cover is provided for a “U” shaped face cradle of a massage table or chair, the face cradle having a central portion and two arms extending from the central portion. The cover is formed of a fabric panel having a medial region and pair of lobes extending from the medial region and defining a notch between them. Each of the lobes is provided with a pocket and the medial region is provided with weights attached on an outer periphery. Each of the pockets is configured for partially receiving an arm of the face cradle. The cover may be draped onto the face cradle, with the medial region adjacent the central portion, with pockets receiving the arms, and with weights being suspended from the outer periphery, so as to overhang the central portion of the face cradle and to smoothly spread the cover over the surface of the face cradle. The cover contacts the face of an individual resting on the face cradle, during a massage.
