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 compression 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.

  • Sizes:

    • S/M - Chest 27"/68cm, Body length 46cm, Sleeve 46cm - 2.2 kg:
    • M/L - Chest 33"/84cm, Body length 53cm, Sleeve 51cm - 2.8kg:
    • XLAdult Sml - Chest 38"/96cm, Body length 60cm, Sleeve 58cm - 3.5kg
    • Adult Med/Lrge - Chest 44"/112cm, Body length 66cm. Sleeve 62cm,     Weights included 3.3kg

Deep Pressure Vest:

  • Sensory Direct's deep pressure vest for autism applies compression and deep pressure to the wearer, offering proprioceptive feedback to the body and shoulders in the form of a tight sqeeze.
  • 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 challenging 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.

  • 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.
