Weighted Hand and Wrist Cover

Sensory Direct's Hand and Wrist Cover with Weight is designed to have the weight focused on the wrist, however, some of the weight is included in the hand cover to spread the weight.

  • Made from a soft, wipeable, water resistant outer and soft fleece inner. 
  • An elastic strap holds the hand weight in place.
  • Each weight has a wide velcro fastening allowing the fitting to be adjustable.

  • Small - Suitable for palm width of 5cm up to 6cm
  • Medium - Suitable for palm width of 6.5cm up to 8cm
  • Large - Suitable for palm width of 8cm up to 9.5cm
  • The cover is fastened around the wrist with a large strip of velcro allowing for adjusting the fit to suit the user

  • Small - each wrist weight cover weighs 150 grams 
  • Medium - each wrist weight cover weighs 250 grams

The hand and wrist weights have been used in classrooms, physiotherapy and occupational therapy to help provide some proprioception deep pressure input to forearms increasing the kinesthetic feedback and sensory awareness for those who need extra sensory input during handwriting, fine motor skills, hand eye coordination.

  • The results were unbelievable!

    "The school had already purchased a weighted waistcoat for my son as advised by the OT, the results were unbelievable - used when he has 1:1 reading his concentration has improved and in turn he reads better and for longer. Therefore, I have purchased this one to use at home when reading/writing etc. There are cheaper alternatives on the market but unsure myself whether the different weight distribution would affect its effectiveness I wasn't prepared to take a chance. He has sensory issues and thankfully he likes fleece so he likes wearing it - other things we have tried in general he has rejected either because of texture or not wanting to be different to his peers, as the appearance is similar to "normal" clothing he has no issues.  It is definitely a hit!"

    Tara Broad - Mum to son with sensory issues.

    Our Story

    When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born

    Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life changing that Weighted Blanket would become.

    British Born Solutions

    Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution.

    We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. We pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will do our utmost to find you a solution that works.
