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.

Very happy, and comfortable
We have just issued a few of these to our teenage learners. They are a hit as the learners are comfortable wearing the jackets in front of their peers, and the jackets are nice and warm, with the weights serving their function.
