Weighted Compression Vest
Weighted deep pressure vest is made to calm and provide steady proprioceptive input. The combined pressure and weight functions as a reassuring deep hug.
The stretchy neoprene provides soothing proprioceptive input and compression around the body, helping to calm and promote self regulation. The weight provides additional sensory input for those who need it. This vest is a good middle ground coming somewhere between our weighted jacket and deep pressure vest. It's lighter than the weighted jackets and does not give as much compression as the deep pressure vest, but falls nicely in between with a combination of the weighted and deep pressure.
- Provides proprioceptive feedback to help focus and self-regulate
- Hug-like compression encourages calm and feeling of security
- Supports kids and adults with ADHD, sensory integration disorder or autism
- Age 18 months - Adult

The vest should not be used during active play such as running, jumping, turning upside down, spinning etc. As a general guide, the jacket should be worn for periods of around 20 to 40 minutes and then removed for at least the same amount of time before being used again. We recommend that you consult with your Occupational Therapist to devise a schedule for use of the weighted jacket. Check the jacket and weights on a regular basis for signs of wear & tear. •

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.
