Production Time:

This item is custom manufactured and typically has a lead time of 50–60 business days.

Our Weighted Body Warmer combines the benefits of deep pressure therapy with a more stylish and practical design than a traditional weighted vest.

Designed to be worn over everyday clothing, the body warmer contains evenly distributed weight to provide proprioceptive input through gentle, deep pressure. Traditionally weighing between 5% and 10% of a person's body weight, weighted garments may help promote calmness, improve focus, and support self-regulation.

Potential Benefits

While every individual is different, weighted garments may help to:

  • Promote a sense of calm
  • Improve focus and concentration
  • Reduce anxiety
  • Decrease fidgeting and stimming behaviours
  • Improve body awareness
  • Encourage self-regulation

Materials

Manufactured with either:

  • A soft denim outer shell and comfortable fleece inner lining, or
  • Denim on both sides for a more structured finish.

Important Information

Weighted garments do not affect everyone in the same way. It is important to observe the wearer, particularly individuals with limited communication skills, to ensure that the garment is comfortable and beneficial. If discomfort occurs or no positive effect is observed, use should be discontinued.

Weighted body warmers are often most effective when used as part of a broader sensory support programme under the guidance of an occupational therapist or other healthcare professional.
