If you’ve ever wished that you could wear your weighted blanket wherever you go, you’re in luck: This cult-favorite weighted hoodie from Thera is designed for exactly that purpose.
I own one myself and consider it portable sensory bliss; the jacket’s deep pressure melts away my tension and feels like a secure, cozy cocoon. Designed to calm the nervous system and reduce cortisol, the weighted hoodie works great for stressful days at the office, traveling and more.
Plus, the hoodie looks more or less like a regular jacket, so it won’t raise eyebrows while you wear it.
Each hoodie weighs 10 pounds (besides the adult XS size, which weighs 8 pounds, and the kid version, which weighs 5 pounds).
You can currently grab it in eight colors, in a plush or regular version, and in adult and kid styles.
Promising review: “I love this hoodie. I suffer from multiple mental health issues after I was unexpectedly and tragically widowed in January 2019. I’m still trying to cope with the death of my husband, and when the stress is too much, I love this hoodie for the calming, hugging, and weighted feeling.
“I’ve noticed that I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders, and by wearing this hoodie for a while, I notice the weight kind of forces your shoulders down, making them relax. On nights when I just miss Jason too much, the weight feels like a gentle hug. It allows me to calm and ground myself when the weight of the world is just too much. Thank you for such a wonderful product.” — Kariann M.
