Body Socks FAQs
What is included in the Body Socks range?
Body Socks is an Australian sensory tools brand. Our range includes full-body Lycra socks, stretchy resistance bands, bed socks, Hug-a-Shrugs, therapy swings and layered hammocks. Each product offers a different way to use stretchy fabric for movement or a snug feel.
What is the difference between a body sock and a bed sock?
A body sock is worn around the body for supervised stretching and movement. A bed sock fits around a mattress as a stretchy compression sheet. They have different designs and uses, so follow the instructions for the specific product.
How do I choose the right size?
Use the individual product's size guide. Body socks are chosen for the user's body size, bed socks for mattress size, and Hug-a-Shrugs by fingertip-to-fingertip wingspan. Also check the dimensions and user-weight limits for swings and hammocks.
Are these products suitable for children and adults?
Suitability varies by product, size and the user's ability to use it comfortably. Some options suit children, teens and adults. Check the age guidance, measurements and instructions on each product page before choosing.
Can you sleep in a full-body sock?
Use the full-body Lycra Body Sock for supervised movement and sensory activities, rather than as sleepwear. It is different from the mattress-fitting Lycra Bed Sock. Keep the face clear and make sure the user can move freely and get out easily.
What should I check before using a swing or hammock?
Check the product's installation instructions, maximum user weight and supervision requirements. Use structurally sound anchor points and appropriate load-rated hardware. Inspect the fabric, seams and mounting hardware before each use and keep the surrounding area clear.
How do I wash Lycra sensory products?
Follow the care label and instructions for your specific product. Several items recommend a gentle wash and air drying. Inspect the fabric and seams regularly and stop using an item if it is damaged.
Are these the same as weighted products?
No. Lycra products provide resistance through stretchy fabric rather than added weighted filling. Full-body socks, resistance bands, bed socks, shrugs, swings and hammocks are used differently, so choose the format that suits the intended activity.
