Who is this for?
Kavva was designed for adults with ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities,
and for anyone who finds the world a little too loud and wishes they
could bring their weighted blanket everywhere. You don't need a
diagnosis to wear it.
How does the weighted hoodie work?
Kavva Weighted Hoodie uses 4kg of micro glass beads sewn into a chamber
across the torso. The result is even, distributed pressure across your
core which signals to your body that it is safe to relax, similar to the
feeling of a weighted blanket but in something you can actually wear
and move around in.
Is 4kg too heavy?
It's heavier than most weighted hoodies on the market, and that's
intentional. Most so-called "weighted" hoodies on the market weigh 1–2kg
— barely more than a standard hoodie. At that weight, you feel warmth,
not pressure.
4kg is the threshold where you actually feel held.
It's roughly the weight of a small house cat resting against your chest.
For most adults, that's noticeable but not heavy enough to fatigue you.
If you're particularly small-framed or have a shoulder or neck condition, we'd recommend trying a weighted blanket first to see how your body responds to deep pressure.
Can I wear it all day?
Most people wear it for a few hours at a stretch — during the
wind-down period after work, while reading or watching something at
home, on the couch, in the car, on long flights. Some wear it longer.
The weight sits on your torso, not your shoulders, so it doesn't fatigue the way a backpack would. That said, if it's your first weighted garment, start with shorter sessions (30–60 minutes) and let your body
adjust.
Will I overheat?
The Kavva Weighted Zip Hoodie is made from 100% cotton, while the category standard is polyester. Cotton is breathable, while polyester traps heat. That's the single
biggest reason we built it this way.
You'll feel warm, especially in the chest area where the bead chamber sits, but not the trapped, sweaty heat that comes from synthetic fabrics. We designed it for everyday wear, not just bedtime.
What does it look like in public?
Like a regular hoodie. The weight is built into an internal chamber, not added as visible padding. From the outside, it reads as a slightly substantial zip-up hoodie, not a piece of medical equipment.
You can wear it for the commute, to a café, to work. The whole point was to make something discreet without having to explain yourself.
Can I wash my weighted hoodie in the washing machine?
Our weighted hoodie can be washed in the washing machine.
Here are a few important tips for machine washing:
- Zip up the zipper fully before washing to prevent snagging
- Wash separately in cold water
- Select a gentle cycle
- Use only gentle or mild detergent
- Do not bleach
- Skip the dryer
- Always lay flat to dry. Never hang while wet
Can I put my weighted hoodie in a dryer?
We do not recommend tumble drying.
Always lay your weighted hoodie flat to air dry.
Never hang your weighted hoodie up to dry - it'll stretch out the fabric.
