Comforting Weighted Hoodies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Champion Weighted Hoodie is Quilted with Micro Glass Beads

— May 22, 2024 — Lifestyle
Weighted blankets skyrocketed in popularity because they can help alleviate anxiety and improve sleep quality by providing a comforting sensation similar to being hugged and the Champion Weighted Hoodie offers similar benefits in a wearable format. This Weighted Hoodie created in collaboration with Thera has the potential to encourage relaxation and reduce stress and support mental health on the go. In 2022, Champion surveyed consumers ages 19 to 35 and found over 90% were interested in using a calming technique and seeing a weighted wearable product produced by Champion.

This machine-washable hoodie for Gen Z and Millennials weighs 8lbs and is quilted with micro glass beads to potentially help with symptoms of stress and anxiety, as well as other mental health and neurodivergent conditions.
Trend Themes
1. Weighted Wearables - The integration of weighted elements into everyday clothing, like the Champion Weighted Hoodie, provides a mobile solution for anxiety and stress reduction.
2. Mental Health Fashion - Fashion products designed to aid in mental health, such as the quilted weighted hoodie, merge style with therapeutic benefits.
3. Sensory Apparel - Clothing incorporating sensory-stimulating materials, evidenced by the micro glass bead quilting, offers a comforting hug-like feel to reduce stress.
Industry Implications
1. Activewear - Activewear brands now have the potential to include therapeutic designs that support mental wellbeing through stress-relieving materials.
2. Mental Health Products - Mental health product lines can expand to include wearable items that offer therapeutic benefits, creating new avenues for stress and anxiety relief.
3. Neurodivergent Apparel - Creating apparel specifically tailored for neurodivergent individuals, with features like weighted fabrics, can address unique sensory needs and improve daily comfort.
