A pillow is provided which can be easily connected and supported by the jet nozzle assembly. A support bracket is partially enclosed in the pillow for connection with the nozzle assembly.

A magnet can be connected to a bracket and a reed switch is connected to the nozzle assembly which serves as a safety feature.
