The Science Behind Weighted Clothing and Mental Health

Weighted hoodies are designed with deep pressure stimulation (DPS) - a therapeutic technique that applies gentle, evenly distributed pressure to the body. This concept is rooted in sensory integration therapy, often used to help individuals with anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and depression. The sensation is similar to that of a weighted blanket or a firm hug, triggering a calming effect on the nervous system.

  • Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System

    • Weighted hoodies help shift the body from a state of “fight or flight” (stress response) to “rest and digest” (relaxation mode).

    • This leads to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increase serotonin and dopamine - neurotransmitters that boost mood and promote feelings of well-being.

  • Reduces Anxiety and Overstimulation

    • Many people with anxiety or sensory processing disorders struggle with overstimulation in daily environments.

    • The gentle, grounding pressure of a weighted hoodie can create a calming effect, reducing nervous energy and hyperactivity.

  • Enhances Focus and Mindfulness

    • DPS can improve body awareness, helping individuals feel more present and in control.

    • This is particularly beneficial for people with ADHD, as the added weight can serve as a grounding tool to enhance focus.

  • Improves Sleep and Relaxation

    • The sensation mimics the effects of a hug, which has been scientifically proven to increase oxytocin, the “love hormone” that promotes relaxation.

    • Wearing a weighted hoodie in the evening may contribute to better sleepquality, helping the body wind down naturally
