I should also add that it's wise to protect the head area because you don't want microwaves getting under the covers and bouncing off the material.  Even the microwave absorber material still only absorbs about 10% of the radiation that hits it.

A simple protection would be to line the other side of the headboard with protective material, whether that be the microwave absorber or just tinfoil.  A more advanced protection would be a breathable semi-transparent fabric that starts under the pillowcase, is taped up the headboard, and then is draped over the sleeping area.
