Sometimes the most powerful proof comes from the people who wear it every day. At Cloud Nine Clothing, we can talk about fabric, features, and function all day long — but the real magic? That’s found in the lived experiences of our customers.
Our stress ball hoodies were designed to help with anxiety, sensory overwhelm, and emotional regulation — but what they’ve become is something even more meaningful: a trusted companion, a confidence booster, and a calming daily ritual.
Here’s what our customers are saying — in their own words.
1. “It’s like wearing a hug — I actually feel safe in it.”
Many of our customers describe the hoodie’s heavyweight feel (crafted with 420 GSM fabric) as comforting and grounding — almost like a hug you can take with you everywhere.
“I didn't expect it to feel so supportive, but when I put it on, my whole body relaxed. The weight, the softness, the fit — it's my emotional armor.” — Mariah, 21
For those who experience anxiety throughout the day, even just putting the hoodie on can signal to the body: it’s okay to relax.
2. “The stress ball in the sleeve is genius.”
The built-in stress ball is one of the most talked-about features. It’s discreet, accessible, and doesn’t feel like an “extra thing” to carry around or explain.
“I use the stress ball during class, especially when I feel overwhelmed. It helps me stay grounded without anyone even noticing.” — Alex, 19
“It’s a game-changer. I used to chew on pens or shake my leg — now I just use the cuff.” — Devon, 22
This simple innovation turns a hoodie into a mental health tool — right where you need it, when you need it most.
3. “It helped my daughter more than I imagined.”
Parents have reached out with stories about how our hoodies have changed their children’s routines — from getting dressed in the morning to coping with school stress.
“My daughter has sensory issues and getting her dressed was always a battle. She now asks for her ‘hug hoodie’ every morning.” — Julie, parent of 9-year-old
“She wears it during car rides, at the dentist, even to sleepovers. It’s her safe space.”
That’s why we’re expanding into kid-friendly versions — because emotional support shouldn’t come with an age limit.
4. “I didn’t realize how much I needed this.”
Many customers didn’t know sensory-friendly clothing existed — until they tried our hoodie and realized how much of a difference it makes.
“I’ve struggled with anxiety for years. This is the first piece of clothing that feels like it was made for people like me.” — Emma, 24
“It’s stylish enough that no one knows it’s ‘functional’ — but it totally is.”
It’s more than a hoodie. It’s a shift in how we support mental health in everyday ways.
5. “I feel seen — and comfortable.”
One of the most meaningful things we hear is that our hoodie makes people feel seen. Like their needs were considered. Like comfort is finally catching up to fashion.
“This isn’t just a hoodie. It’s what I wear when I need to get through the day.”
“I feel more myself when I’m in it.”
And that’s what keeps us going.
