Can I wear my brace to sleep?Updated a month ago

Whether you should wear your brace while sleeping depends on the type of brace, your condition, and your specific needs. Some braces are designed for nighttime wear to provide extra support and stabilisation while you rest. If you’ve been advised by a medical professional to restrict movement—such as after a ligament injury, surgery, or due to a tendency to dislocate during sleep—wearing your brace overnight may be beneficial.

However, for most people, braces are intended for use during activity, where they provide support, stability, and performance enhancement. Compression is typically most effective when you’re moving rather than at rest. If you don’t require consistent stabilisation or restriction of movement, you likely won’t need to wear your brace to sleep.

For guidance on whether overnight use is suitable for your specific brace and condition, please consult a healthcare professional or reach out to our Customer Support Team at 1300 668 466, via chat, or at [email protected].
