Deep Pressure Clothing - Advice Needed

I have a 6 year old with Autism and ADHD, she constantly seeks out cuddles, especially at bedtime and complains if they are not tight enough, she has also recently asked to be swaddled.

My social media is full of adverts for the Nesti and I wonder if it would help her, but I’m always suspicious of social media ads.

Therefore can anyone recommend deep pressure clothing that actually works as when I google there are so many options I have no idea where to start.

Also something else that puts me off is clothing with hoods as I’m terrified they are a strangulation risk, so if your child does us a nesti or similar do they remove it to sleep?

Have a look at Sensory Smart.

I wouldn’t have DC sleep in a hoody.

Has DS had a sensory OT assessment?

I know a mum who uses a wetsuit for her son overnight, it closes at the back and it's a good smooth texture, it's sort of tight and he loves it. She got it from decathlon and it was never meant to be for bed but it relaxes him!
