Abstract: The present invention concerns a foldable head rest which provides elevated support for a person's head while lying in the prone position at the beach or other leisure place, for example. The head rest may be easily carried in a folded flat configuration in one's luggage or hand and quickly unfolded for use at the beach.The head rest broadly comprises a pair of rectangular frames including an interior and exterior frame each having two seats of two offset but parallel leg portions. Cross members join the opposite leg portions of each frame at their otherwise free ends. Fabric panels are secured to the respective cross members of the opposite frames including a top panel which provides direct support for the head and a bottom panel which supportively contacts the sand or ground to prevent the head rest from sinking into the sand or ground.Each set of leg portions of each frame are formed at their midsections with a central hub.
