Product Description

The Body Sock provides resistance for a deep pressure sensation (great for those that like the feeling of a hug, but no physical contact is required) and will enable the user to move around differently and help with body awareness (balance and movement).

Here are a few fun things to do with a Body Sock:

Get your whole body inside the Body Sock and fully stretch out your arms or legs or both! You can try doing this whilst standing, sitting or lying down.
Try balancing on one foot whilst you feel the resistance of the sock around you.
Try the Body Sock as part of a calming down activity - get inside, push gently against the fabric until you can feel the resistance and enjoy the deep pressure sensation. Pull the sock around you in a hug.
Try out your favourite yoga pose!
Whilst inside the Body Sock, lie on your back and squeeze your knees up to your chest, wrapping your arms around them - then push up and out with your hands, arms, legs and feet - releasing all of your tension at the same time. "POP"!!
Try rolling around with your arms tucked in and your legs stretched out (like you do when rolling down a grass slope).
Whilst lying on the floor (side, back or tummy) - try making the shapes of the letters to spell out your name!
With a friend sit facing each other, take it in turns to copy the movements of the other - see how many silly poses and shapes you can make! :)

Our Story

When my son was born with autism, my world changed and Sensory Direct was born

Ethan had been prescribed different forms of medication, and although they helped a little, I didn’t want to become reliant upon them, so Ethan’s Paediatric Consultant suggested a Weighted Blanket. I remember hearing this and thinking ‘what on earth is a Weighted Blanket’? At this stage I was blissfully unaware of how life-changing that Weighted Blanket would become.

British Born Solutions

Sensory Direct’s principle drive and values are based on wanting to help and support others find their solution

We strongly believe in our products and ensure that the same love and care that went into making my son’s first Weighted Blanket goes into every handmade product we produce here in Worcester. We pride ourselves on our Customer Service and we will do our utmost to find you a solution that works.
