Weighted Comfort: Deep Pressure Tools to Increase Calm and Focus

Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS) is a science-backed method that applies gentle, evenly distributed weight to the body, triggering the parasympathetic nervous system—the part responsible for relaxation and emotional regulation. This calming effect reduces cortisol (stress hormone) while boosting serotonin and melatonin, helping to ease restlessness, anxiety, and sensory overload. Whether it’s a weighted blanket for better sleep, a weighted pillow for grounding during focus time, or a weighted hoodie or vest for on-the-go comfort, these tools provide ADHD and neurodivergent individuals with a natural way to self-regulate, improve body awareness, and feel more secure throughout the day.
