A cushioning device fur use with a shampoo bowl including a front wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a U-shaped, neck-receiving notch in the front wall. The cushioning device includes a flexible cushion constructed of a matrix of formed cushioning pockets separated by seams. The flexible cushion includes opposing proximal and distal extremities and a waist therebetween. The waist is adapted to overlie a segment of the U-shaped, neck receiving notch, the proximal extremity is adapted to overlie and secure a portion of the inner surface of the front wall, and the distal extremity is adapted to overlie a secure portion of the outer surface of the front wall.
