Sereni Weighted Calming Hoodie

No, they don’t need to wear it all day, and actually, it works best in short sessions. It's recommended for use at home 20–30 minutes at a time, up to an hour total each day.

Using it in the morning before school can help your child feel more calm and focused throughout the day. Some parents also use it after school to help their child calm down or even when their medication starts to wear off.

The idea is that short sessions help to regulate the nervous system helping them manage their emotions. Using it for more than 1 hour a day could cause them to be too reliant on it.

The Sereni Weighted Hoodie uses Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) to provide a calming and grounding effect for children.

DPT works by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the body—similar to the sensation of a firm hug—which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve focus.

The hoodie is designed to be comfortable and easy to use for a snug yet cozy fit.

Many parents find that incorporating the hoodie into their child’s routine helps reduce meltdowns, improve attention, and manage challenging behaviors more effectively.

It’s a simple, effective tool to support your child’s emotional well-being and provide a sense of calm when they need it most.

Yes! Many families use both. The vest is great for shorter, focused sessions (like homework or morning routines), while the hoodie works beautifully for all-day wear—especially at school or during outings.

Just avoid wearing them at the same time, as too much weight can be overstimulating. Instead, rotate between them based on your child's needs and the situation.

The hoodie is designed to be worn in short sessions of 20 to 30 minutes at a time, with a maximum of one hour a day.

It’s most effective when used as part of a daily routine—many parents use it in the morning to help their child feel calm and focused before school or in the afternoon to wind down after a busy day.

When it comes to sizing, it’s always better to size up rather than size down if you’re unsure. A slightly larger size ensures your child has room to grow and still allows for a snug fit using the adjustable straps.

If you’re in doubt, refer to the sizing guide to find the best match based on your child’s measurements.

Deep Pressure Therapy, which the hoodie uses, is a proven approach that benefits children with a variety of challenges, including Autism, Anxiety, Sensory Processing Disorders, and more.

By applying gentle, consistent pressure, the hoodie helps calm the nervous system, reduce overstimulation, and promote relaxation—making it an effective tool for a wide range of needs.

If you’re unsure, give it a try and see how it works for your child—you can test it risk-free and experience the benefits firsthand.

We understand how disheartening it can be to feel like nothing is working.

Most solutions focus solely on behavior—trying to manage or change how your child reacts in the moment. What sets the Sereni Weighted Calming Hoodie apart is that it addresses the underlying physiology, not just the behavior.

The vest uses Deep Pressure Therapy, a research-backed approach that helps calm the nervous system by reducing overstimulation and promoting relaxation. It works on a deeper level to help your child feel more regulated, making it easier for them to cope with challenges.

Unlike many solutions, the hoodie is easy to integrate into your child’s routine and doesn’t require complicated steps or techniques. It’s designed to provide consistent, calming support without adding stress to your day.

Even if other methods haven’t worked, this approach focuses on helping your child feel better from the inside out, giving them the foundation they need to thrive.

And to make sure you’re confident in your decision, we offer a completely risk-free trial, so you can see how it works for your child with peace of mind.
