The Weighted Compression Vest is a comfortable, neoprene garment designed to provide calming sensory input through a combination of gentle compression and weight. This vest offers support for children, teenagers, and smaller adults, helping with self-regulation, focus, and emotional balance. It is especially beneficial for individuals with ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), or Autism by delivering deep pressure that stimulates the proprioceptive system—like a soothing, all-day hug.
Available in multiple sizes, this vest offers a discreet design in navy blue, making it easy to wear at school, home, or in community settings without drawing attention. With its high-quality materials and thoughtful design, the vest is both durable and adjustable, ensuring a secure fit for a variety of body shapes. Removable weight packs are included, allowing for customisable pressure to suit individual sensory needs.
Sizing options range from small to extra-large, covering age groups from toddlers to older teens. To ensure the perfect fit, measure the child’s torso circumference and length from shoulder to waist, and consider sizing up if they are between sizes. Each vest includes sealed weight packs in a range of 180g to 350g, giving users the flexibility to adjust sensory input as needed.

We recommend that you measure your child to ensure purchasing the correct size. The width is measured by taking the circumference of the torso. The length is measured by taking the measurement from the top of the shoulder to the waist. If your child is between two sizes, we recommend you size up.
