Abstract
A head mask, configured to cover the head of a wearer, includes a shell that includes bendable foam and a soft fabric on the exterior of the shell. The head mask further includes a cushioned collar at the bottom of the head mask to prevent discomfort when the head mask impacts the wearer. The collar may be cushioned, for example, by making the collar thicker than the combined thickness of the shell and decorative fabric, such as by folding the bendable foam of the shell and the soft fabric inwardly and attaching the folded bendable foam and soft fabric materials to the shell, or by increasing the thickness of the bendable foam or fabric layer used in the collar. The head mask further includes one or more openings for the eyes and for breathability, where the openings may be covered with a one-way mesh.
