its a nice idea. the arms are very tight for a 3-6 month old. he hates the arms in the mesh because of it.
Hes 2.5 months and is about 14 lbs
Allison D.
Our daughter is 2 months old, and loves having her arms out. She is sleeping for 5-9 hours each night.
Violet P.
Took him a few days to get the hang of it but now we use it every single night! He didn’t like the mesh sleeves much so we just go without :)

My little one is a master escape artist and we’ve tried multiple swaddles. I like the option of fastening his arms to his side with some strong Velcro or the option for him to suck on his hands to self soothe. The only reason I wouldn’t rate that “I love this” is it’s a bit thin and I wish there was a warmer option available.
Abby Y.
I’m sitting here writing this at 2 am as a feed my son, because I am so happy about this product. At 7 weeks old, he just slept 6 straight hours for the first time on night one of wearing the Zen One. Will definitely be recommending this to all my mama friends!
Elisia S.
Best money i have ever spent! I can now get some sleep, my 1 month old fell asleep right away i definitely will be buying more and different sizes too!!!
Andrea M.
Nested bean sleep sacks have helped both of our babies start sleeping through the night! This one for for our daughter who is only 3 months old and sleeps like an angel! They are magical!! I tell every new mom and dad about your products!! Thank you for helping our home sleep well!! :-)
Alison S.
This has been a good transitional swaddle for us as my son started showing signs he was ready to roll. I like that the arms zip off, and we were able to remove them as soon as he started rolling. My only complaint is that the sleeves were a little too tight (not just snug, but cramped) before he was ready to have them off, but this is a minor issue. The swaddle also washes well.
Anastasia A.
Game changer!!!!! My 2 month old haded having his arms restrained so this was exactly what we needed. Naps and bedtime have been incredible!
Savannah C.
This suit is amazing! My child can be overtired and fussy, but after a few minutes of wearing this he’s calm and ready for sleep. I love it!
Vanessa V.
This this my first baby and the nights are rough but when I pulled this out OMG it made a difference for my baby girl. So glad I had it and getting the next size up to be prepared!
Ashlei S.
It runs small. My daughter is a big girl but it wouldn't fit her. She was about 10 pounds.
Claire D.
My two month old sleeps 5-7 hours straight in this and takes 2 hour naps during the day when he is snuggled in his nested bean sleep sack! It’s really a lifesaver for this tired mom of 3.
Melissa H.
We love the nested bean! Our sweet girl has been sleeping around 7 hours straight, waking up to eat and going back to sleep for 3-4 hours.
Jessica L.
The only thing keeping this from being a five star item is that it runs a little small. My guy is squarely in the middle of the growth chart for height and weight at 3 months old but I can already tell that he will not be able to get his arms in the arm part comfortably very much longer. He loves that he can self-soothe in this for now and I pray that his startle reflex goes away before the arm part gets to be too small for him and the sleeves need to come off.
Jodi P.
I like the sleep sac but my 3 month old still doesn't sleep any better at night.
Marni W.
We used the nested bean swaddle with our first baby and loved it, we knew our second baby we would use all the products. He's transitioning from swaddle to suit now and this product is helping immensely!
Alexis G.
Helps baby feels snug in our arms, but we can actually get a few things done while baby sleeps. I like the idea of zip off arms and mesh for breathable skin.
Ivonne O.
My one month old baby absolutely loves this swaddle! We were using a different brand initially after she was born that strapped her arms down and she really didn’t like it. We quickly realized after about two weeks that she liked sleeping with her arms up and hands near her face so when I ran across this swaddle I knew I had to try it. As soon as we put her in it now she stays calm and doesn’t try to wiggle out of it like she used to with the other swaddle and is able to sleep peacefully now. Highly recommend!!
Maria B.
I was deciding between pink and dark blue for my girl and I am happy I went with the blue. The color is deep and beautiful. The fabric is very soft, I enjoy how it feels and hopefully my daughter does too. I was hoping this would help extend the 30-minute naps of my four-month-old , but it has not.
Michelle E.
My son needed a new sleep sack that had better arm sleeves the one he had was a cottony material and he’s a hand sucker so it was getting wet and then he’d rub his face raw...I like how these have a mesh type of material...bravo for thinking about the hand suckers out there...but the arms are a little too small...my son is 3 months and his arms seem really smashed in there compared to the brand I bought at target...he likes that one better but the mesh arm on this one are better for his skin...ugh it’s a okay sleep sack I wish it fit my son better and the zippers are kinda bulky under his arms I feel like it’s too much and probably feels uncomfortable when I pick him up in it
Joanna P.
The arm sleeves were too small for my 17 lb. 5 month old baby. I ordered the zen one classic for 3-6 months. I wish there was an option for it to be bigger. I love the fit on the body but my baby still wants my hand on her chest even though the sack has the weighted thing on the center. I didn't notice any change on her sleeping pattern when compared to being swaddled using muslin blankets.
Amelia S.
Love nested bean! It’s super soft easy to clean and little man has slept so much better since we’ve purchased our sleep sack!
Jennifer B.
My 2.5 month old loves having her hands up so this was definitely what we needed. The mesh is an added bonus since she also wants to suck her hands. We were using the Love to Dream and wanted to see if the gentle weight might have a slightly better result. It did not, but I am still happy with the purchase due to the quality and the zip off arms that will make the transition easier when she eventually starts rolling.
Jessica C.
I loved loved loved this swaddle so much I have gifted it to FOUR expecting mamas and they have all said it worked so well and their baby slept fantastic. I definitely noticed a difference with my babies sleep.
Kelly A.
Our daughter has acid reflux and has struggled to sleep. She will now sleep 4 hours at night and gets more restful sleep! So in love!!
(we have to wake her up based on doctors orders)
Jennifer K.
This swaddle has been so great!! My daughter would not sleep in her bassinet until we bought this and I promise it’s been a life saver!! Highly recommend for anyone who has little babies who always want to snuggle.
Allison P.
He sleeps so much better with this!
Mackenzie S.
I received a sack that had stains on it, customer service responded so quickly! They sent me a brand new one no charge and I kept the stained one. My daughter is 3 months old and likes being snug with her hands free. The classic style is perfect for her!
Adrienne D.
Haven’t seen much change in little ones sleep and have had it for over a week. He does calm down much quicker at bedtime when the sack is on.
Mallory H.
It's good quality, but it hasn't helped his sleep at all.
Allison R.
My four-month-old loves this sleep sack. He’s just about to start transitioning out of a winged Arm and thus sleep sack is perfect
Lauren J.
It allows my baby to sleep on his side without rolling to his stomach and it works! He only wakes up once between 9p and 8a
Brittany M.
Nested bean products are amazing. We started with the swaddle and bought these once they were back in stock. Honestly, these made it so my baby could sleep on their own in the bassinet. My baby is now sleeping 6-7 hour stretches at night.
Samantha J.
This had helped our 3 month old! She loves to be swaddled but started to roll over and this has been the perfect transition!
Daniella R.
Absolutely love nested bean! My firstborn gave us extra hours of sleep with the swaddle, then the sack and even had the onesie! Now, we bought this one for our little daughter! I bought the wrong size, which was my fault and after reaching out to their awesome customer service, I’m exchanging for a bigger size! I’ve been recommending this brand to every new parent!
Cheryl T.
It has helped my newborn sleep so much better and not startle himself awake
Aundrea C.
The first night we used this we noticed a huge difference! I was expecting it to take a few days, but man, it worked like a charm! I would highly recommend. My son would somehow always get his arms out of other swaddles. He likes to have his arms up while sleeping but would somehow manage to scratch his face all the time, too. We tried mittens and socks on his hands and he always got them off. The Nested Bean swaddle allows him to have his hands free but he can’t scratch himself.
Jeanne B.
We really like these sleep sacks. They are made of soft, high grade cotton and are still in great shape after multiple washes. The arm option seemed like a great idea but in reality our child could not freely move her arms from one option to the other. We had to choose to swaddle her arms up or arms down which we didn’t love. They were also on the shorter side, so maybe not great for longer babies like ours. The weight on The chest works great and we will be buying other products from this line soon.
Robin C.
I absolutely love love love this ! I bought it for my 2 month old son because we were both not getting any sleep at night he was waking up every hour in a half to 2 hours, the first night I used it he slept for 7 hours and then woke up again after 5 hours ! I will definitely recommend this to absolutely everyone I know !!!
Kasey C.
Slept better as soon as we started using it!
Brittani B.
Our baby has is colic and has acid reflux. Therefore, being close and a good squeeze was the best way to soothe her. Which is where the nested bean came into play! It made such a difference in her sleep routine and ability to be put down without being held 24/7. We love the nested bean swaddle. We just bought the transitional swaddle for her as she is now 3 months and we love it!
Corinne M.
Our 3 month old will only sleep on her tummy so this sleep sack is perfect for her. The light weight on her back helps her to fall back asleep if she wakes up.
Robert S.
I thought this would help my son sleep better but it did not change how long he sleeps. I still use it because I like to put him in a sleep sac to keep him warm. Wish I had better results.
Brandi A.
This is the perfect sleep aid for my 3 month old son! We love how snug it fits and the weighted areas on the chest and sides!!! He’s sleeping so well now, I have to wake him up!
Diane S.
Baby Didn’t sleep though the night like ad claims
Buky I.
Didn’t work for us. I use it for her naps (baby Merlin magicsuit works for us at night). I was hoping the length of her naps would extend but no such luck. Made no difference whatsoever.
Gabrielle .
I absolutely love the zen one!! My son is 2 months old and we could never put him down to sleep, but after buying the zen one classic he sleeps throughout the night only waking up when I wake him up to feed. It worked the first time we used it, I will be buying more when he grows out of this one.
Lindsay E.
I just love all the swaddles and sleep sacks at this company! They have made a huge difference in how my baby sleeps! I want one in every size shape and color. They are great quality! My baby is only 3 months old and sleeps from 7:30pm- 6:00am!
Brittany J.
We are loving this product so far! I think it’s really going to help us transition out of his arms being swaddle much easier!
Brianna C.
We have been using the Love to Dream swaddled since we brought our daughter home from the hospital. Since the Zen One is essentially a weighted version of that we decided to try it and see if it helped her to sleep better (she sleeps 8-11 hours but gets very loud and restless for the last 2-3 hours before we get her up). So far she sleeps equal to maybe slightly better with the Zen One. We have started practicing the transition to arms free with the zips during naps and she hasn't really minded not having both arms contained (She is 11 - 12 weeks).
I did not give this 5 stars because of the placement of the weights. They are in the chest area but they make it like handling your child as a literal bag of beans. Your child becomes bulky and since they don't have their arms sometimes feels unwieldy. I find it hard to be switching between positions before heading to bed - like having a little cuddle before sleep.
Amanda E.
I love the design, from the easy silent main zipper to the side arm zippers. The removable arm zips are prefect when she’s able to turn over. Therefore, this swaddle transitions into a sleeping sack. The weighted chick is a nice touch along with the abdominal fabric strap that keeps her feeling secure.
Savanna S.
My newborn insists on sleeping with his hands up in the air. He manages to get them out no matter how tight we swaddle. He was constantly waking up, within 2 hours of going to sleep. The first night he slept in this sleep sack, he slept for four hours straight even with a gassy belly!
Gina G.
I like the swaddle but the arm holes are really small and not at a great angle for my child’s arms to be up above his head. I wouldn’t buy these again for that reason.
Alicia B.
Love this product my son puts himself to sleep and feels safe and secure!! I recommend it to all mommies!
Ana S.
We absolutely love nested bean products. The new zen one sack has been perfect! We started with the arms swaddled in, then by the face and just today we started with arms out and it's been a success! I cannot say enough good things about the company and their products!
Jessica U.
I’ve used various nested bean products for my children...
I LOVE the idea behind the weight but I don’t believe any have truly helped them sleep longer or better.
Having a removable arms up swaddle option is awesome! My little one loves to chomp their hands. I also love the mesh cause they can actually see their hands.
Across different brands I have found that the removable zipper arms up option creates some awkwardness and restrictive movement because you have to make baby’s arms fit in a specific spot.
Once my baby’s done being fully swaddled and I can remove the arms I think it will be more comfortable.
I continue to try with weighted options cause who doesn’t want their child to sleep longer and more restfully at night!? Unfortunately, I cannot say that we’ve had better sleeps in 1-3 nights as claimed.
Tianna K.
I shouldve Bought this 3 months ago when my daughter was born , soon as you put it on she falls asleep . This is a must have !!!
Kelly T.
zip on arms are a little small. they may fit a 3 month old, but I don't think they are big enough for babies older than that (unless the baby is on the smaller side)
Kristin P.
This product helped us tremendously when transitioning out of the swaddle. It is cute, soft and soothing for the baby. We liked it so much we purchased this blue one for our neighbors. The blue color is really beautiful. I would have bought it for my daughter had it been available.
Sabrina S.
It was ok it does the job like you know it does swaddled my baby girl but it did not help her to sleep and it fit to small
Allison D.
Our daughter was starting to only sleep 30 minutes at a time at night. We have used other nested bean products with our first daughter before the zen one was available. Now we are trying it for the first time with our second child, and last night she slept for 8 hours! She has not slept like that ever. We are so excited to see how her sleep progresses.
Gyllian T.
Baby’s arms don’t fit in the arm pouches, the space is WAY too small, and my baby is not large. The arm pouches look bigger in pictures, I don’t know how any baby arm can fit in these. Without his arms in the pouches, it defeats the reason why I bought it. Otherwise, I like the weight on top and so does he.
Allison D.
We used the zen one swaddle for the first time last night. We had been struggling to get our daughter to sleep longer than 30 minutes. Last night with the zen one swaddle, she slept 8 hours for the first time! I was in shock! I’m hoping she continues this for the other nights!
Lauren D.
Babe doesn’t sleep any longer or shorter in this sleep sack but we will keep trying I guess..
CAITLIN A.
3 month old baby girl slept 9 hours the first night!
Marcela C.
I can’t tell if it makes a difference as to improvement in sleep, but it’s a well made product. It does run a little small, my 4 month old barely fits in the 3-6 months size and that is the biggest size available.
Danielle .
By far the best swaddle in my opinion !! Started with the newborn swaddle and just recently ordered this classic and it was the PERFECT transition for my 5 month old ! THANK YOU NESTED BEAN ! .. A RESTED MAMA IS A HAPPY MAMA!
Dane G.
Our nested bean has been fantastic!!! Our baby slept through the night but was a loud sleeper. She would whine and move throughout the night in her sleep. The nested bean has really helped her sleep much more peacefully and makes her feel secure and comfortable!!! We love it!
Cherdaria W.
The sleep sac helped my baby sleep for longer periods of time at night however it’s a little tight around the back of her neck to wear it digs into her skin. My baby is 3 months, 13 lbs
Sara D.
My baby & I love this sleep sack! I tried a bunch of different sleep sacks including: love to dream sack, Halo sleep sack, miracle blanket swaddle and the Nanit swaddles that came with the nanit baby camera. My baby sleeps the best and falls asleep moments after I put him in this sack! The material is super soft and stretchy, but thicker than the love to dream sleep sack. This sack is well worth the money.
Alexis T.
My 7 week old is sleeping through the night every day since using this! I would 10000% recommend to any parent! This is my third baby, first time using a weighted sleep sac, and first baby to ever sleep through the night like this!
Kelly L.
Finding the right swaddle for our little one was a struggle until the Zen One. Haven’t looked back!
Kellee W.
15lb 2 month old and this swaddle feels a little snug already. Not sure it’ll continue to grow with him.
Heather H.
We are currently alternating between the swaddle and the zen one. Both are instantly calming for our sweet little guy. The Zen One allows our thumb sucking boy to keep his hands close to him which takes him from sleeping 3 hours in the swaddle to 5 and 6 hours in the zen one! We love that we can zip the arms off so he can be less contained at nap time, then zip them back to keep him snuggled tight at night.
Kelsey I.
Love the Zen one! It's extremely well made and the fabric is so nice. My 3 month old was fighting the arms-down swaddle, so I was looking for something that would allow her to have her arms up but still quell the startle reflex - she also loves having the swaddle band around her body. Having the arms zip-off to transition her to a sleep sack from the swaddle is a great bonus. I've slowly started putting her down with one arm free. I would definitely recommend! Although next time I might opt for the gray or pink, the dark color shows spit up really well!
Jennifer L.
My son love it. He used to wake up 3 to 4 times because lost his pacifier. Now he only wake up maybe 1 to 2 times now.
Zeke J.
Not bad- I like the options and that it converts as baby grows. I did not see improved sleep, however. It has been more than a week at this point. Also a little tight around the neck area already and my son is not even 3
Months yet.
Kate B.
The stretchy and soft material allows for comfort for any baby. We love knowing our babies are safe and happy during their sleep time, day and night.
Katherine A.
My baby loves this swaddle. It's perfectly snug. I love that we can transition her out of it slowly so she can have her arms out.
Koleen A.
Runs small. Would've been nice if they have a bigger size. My baby is 3 months old and could barely fit on it. Wasted money on this one
Kristina F.
Finally found the ONE!!
I have gone through sooo many swaddles, from the Halo, the swaddle-up (which is a runner-up), the external velcro that goes outside the clothes, the zipadee, woombie and none have the Zen One beat! I initially bought the Zen swaddle but unfortunately, my little one kept getting out of it.
My 3.5 month old would fight out of all these swaddles, but the combination of the weighted design and inner velcro of the Zen One that holds him in place has given him (and me!) much needed sleep. He used to sleep 1-2hrs at a time, but is now sleeping 4-5hrs consecutively! It does take a few days for it to really work, and he’s still a wiggly worm, but a VAST improvement from before. Highly highly recommend this swaddle for those babies who are Houdini masters in their swaddles and get fussy throughout the night.
Hope D.
We have been using the 3-6mo One for 4 weeks now on our 3mo old. She is 13lbs & considered big for her age, she is almost outgrown this one & sadly there is no bigger size!!! She isn’t ready for the sleeveless yet, as she still has a startle reflux. So sad to see this go, but would HIGHLY recommend it regardless.
Sadie M.
The perfect blend of swaddle and sleep sack. Was great for transitioning to arms free sleep. We used ours from 6 to 10 months then moved into the sleep sack.
Shea M.
Wasn't the magical fix I was hoping for to get my baby to sleep faster. However, I do think it helped my baby stay asleep better while transitioning through sleep stages. We got 2 months out of the product but our baby gained weight slowly due to a milk protein allergy. I can't imagine spending this much money for a product if I got less than 2 months worth out of it. My baby HATED his arms being in the sleeves so we removed his sleeves and he liked that better.
Karen P.
Baby Boy loves his nested Bean sleep sack.
Breanna E.
My son has struggled with falling back to sleep after 2am feedings. Now, we can place him in his crib and he’s asleep in minutes with no rocking, singing, etc. We love our sleep sack!
Thi Huynh D.
My baby can’t fall asleep without it as almost 6 months and she still has very strong startle reflex. This product is a life-saver. Wish there were a bigger size above six months
Haylee H.
We love this wrap so much, he sleeps great and a lot longer in it!
Brianne H.
We LOVE every nested bean product Ive owned over my several children; however the Zen One swaddle is the cream of the crop! My son sleeps 6 hour stretches in his crib in this and he’s only 7 weeks old, we do both the arms up and the swaddle down option depending on how restless he is. We brought it to the hospital and all of our nurses loved it as well. One even took pictures and bought a friend one after using ours on our baby . Love love love this! When he gets too big, he is getting a sleep sack. Thank you for inventing the perfect swaddle!
Alice G.
Our 9 week old is a very active sleeper and before the nested bean swaddle was only sleeping 3-4 hours a night. Since day 2 of using the nested bean swaddle he will sleep 7-9 hours straight. I highly recommend this weighted swaddle!
Thomas M.
In theory this should work, and for the most part it does. However, this thing rides up a lot and gets very bunched up around our sons face. The Velcro band on the inside also started to come unstitched after the first use. I hope we can get more use out of this, but we may have to give up if it won’t stay in place or stay together.
Daneen C.
My daughter loves this. Easy to use and holds up well in the wash.
Allison O.
So it is a nice swaddle but my baby isn’t sleeping any longer for using it.
Samantha P.
I think the weight helps her to not fully wake up and soothe back to sleep but the arms up in the enclosed mesh allow her to bring her hands to her face which in turns knocks her paci out and I think she sometimes wakes up more. So it’s a half and half kind of situation for us. She’s not really sleeping any longer than she was before. We get 2-4 hours of sleep from her and it hasn’t made her “sleep all night”. I need to start transitioning her out of swaddling so the zen one sack is my next step. Going to try sticking with it because she doesn’t hate it. I just have a finicky sleeper.
Jenina S.
My baby liked this sleep sack but was not a god send like I was hoping. Material is a little hot. I wish it was cotton.
Diana T.
Works well but I wish the arm holes gave my little one more room to help self sooth
