Weighted Hoody & Pressure Vest set

Sensory Direct's Weighted Hoody and Deep Pressure Vest Set provides deep pressure relief via a combination of the weight of the hoody and the compresson applied by the vest. The wearer will experience proprioceptive feedback to the body and shoulders;  providing a "calming and organising" effect for sensory seeker.   Weighted Hoody: Sensory Direct's Weighted Hoody provides a discreet weighted solution, perfect for fashion conscious teens and young people. These Weighted Hoodies are designed to provide all the therapeutic benefits of a weighted jacket in a cool, wearable style. Recommended by Occupational Therapists to help those with poor body awareness, the weight is often found to reduce anxiety and aid focus and concentration. The deep pressure provided has a 'calming and organising' effect on the body's proprioceptive system. The inner lining of our Hoodies contains a total of seven pockets which are strategically placed for the insertion of weights - discreetly located on the shoulders, around the waist and in the hood. All weights are removable for easy washing. Here at Sensory Direct we are passionate about the quality of our products and the hoodies are no exception - made from high quality material in a fashionable design so they do not stand out as a therapeutic aid. We recommened that the weight of the jacket does not exceed 5% of the user's bodyweight.

Promotes a feeling of calmness and security. No weight is used - instead a deep pressure is applied to the body by the tight wrapping of the vest around the body. Good for callenging and sensory seeking behaviours are often reduced with the application of deep pressure. Anxiety and distress can be reduced by lowering the heart rate, calming breathing, in turn promoting a feeling of security. Some autistic children and adults enjoy tight clothing or wrapping themselves up in sheets or a gym mat to give them the pressure they crave - the compression vest works on the same principle and benefits those with tactile and proprioceptive sensory problems. Can be worn discreetly under a jumper.
