Face Cradles

Any inputs for face cradles that allow the client to be able to breathe while on their stomachs? I'm looking into investing in a new one and would like something that doesn't press as hard on the sinus pressure points in the face.

    For me, the critical feature in a face-rest base is elevation adjustment. Not just tilting, but height above/below the table.

    Earthlite makes a cradle where the face is supported by soft "petals," rather than solid foam. I've never tried it, but it looks like it would reduce sinus pressure: www.earthlite.com/massage-s...radle.html

      I have one of those (Earthlite Caress). It still puts a little pressure so I went back to using the Deluxe Adjustable Headrest that came with my table (Earthlite Spirit).
