The pocket (15/46/56) includes two complimentary substantially planar layers (48/61,66) of chenille fabric joined at their peripheral edges (52,54) with an open section (51/57/64,68) for mounting onto the steam frame (14) and allowing the open edges to butt against each other. The layers (48/61,66) are made of a chenille fabric with a shaggy or spaghetti-like pile of about 2 cm extending from the exposed surface of a canvas base that faces the steam frame (14). The fabric (48/61,66) is sealed about the frame (14) a first length of a fastener (63) is secured to the inside face along the open edge (64) of one layer (48/61), with a complementary length of a fastener (69) secured to the inside face of the second layer (66) and extending beyond the edge to allow the open edges of each layer (48/61,66) to abut each other and for the fasteners (63,69) to engage and secure the fabric steam pocket (15/46/56) about the edge of the frame (14).
