A smotherbox has two openings in it. One is in a vertical side of the box for the neck of the person who has his/her head inside the smotherbox.

The inside of a smotherbox is often padded to provide support for neck of the person in the box, and to prevent their head from moving. The padding may also muffle noises from outside of the box, thereby relaxing the one being sat upon and leaving more room in his/her mind for other senses.
