Headless lounge
The headless lounge, also known as a fursuit lounge, is a room set aside for fursuiters and their fursuit handlers at a convention or other event. It is often a quality standard for conventions to have at least one headless lounge. Other private areas such as hotel rooms, restroom stalls and certain party rooms can be used for a similar purpose.
[edit] Room set-up
Given that fursuits can often become uncomfortably hot, the headless lounge is the place for fursuiters to remove the head of their fursuit in order to cool off. Ideally it has privacy, fans, and plenty of water. Oftentimes the air conditioning is turned up to further help fursuiters cool off. Sometimes there will be small sewing kits or hot glue guns available for emergency repairs.
[edit] Off-limits rules
Non-fursuiters are typically not allowed or discouraged to enter the headless lounge (aside from handlers and convention staff members) in order to give fursuiters privacy and a "break" from crowds, especially if they happen to be popular. Additionally, photography is heavily frowned upon, as it is considered taboo in the fursuiting community to take a picture of a suiter with their head off without permission.
