What is The Cuddle Effect™?
Medical experts agree: it’s not just the swaddling, the rocking, the lullabies that soothe your baby to sleep. It’s your touch. And it’s vital to your baby’s well-being. Recent scientific research on Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) shows that babies experience the Cuddle Effect when they feel gentle pressure in the places you naturally hold them. That means longer, sweeter sleep—until they’re back in your arms.
-
Which size is best for my baby?
For the product you are considering check its size chart. Your baby should not be below the minimum weight and should have at least 2-3 inches to grow before growing past the maximum height.
-
What’s the difference between Classic and Premier products?
The Classic line is perfect for year-round use! The fabric is 100% cotton.
The Premier line is more lightweight and breathable than the Classic line, making it perfect for warmer climates or babies who overheat easily! The fabric is a blend of 70% bamboo + 30% cotton.
-
Can I swaddle with my baby’s arms free?
Yes, our Zen Swaddle can be wrapped with your baby’s arms free! Please check out our swaddle transition plan (at the bottom of this page) for different ways to wrap your baby in the swaddle!
-
When should I transition my baby out of a swaddle?
Once your baby starts showing signs of rolling over, it's time to start the transition from a swaddle to a sleep sack. The Zen Swaddle® can be wrapped with your baby's arms free, to ease this transition! The Zen Sack™ is a great transition from the swaddle because it provides gentle pressure and additional comfort to your baby during sleep.
-
How much weight is in each product?
Physiotherapy standards were used to determine the appropriate weight in the Zen Sleepwear. These weight requirements ensure that the weight to body-weight ratio is maintained well below the recommended Physiotherapy standard of 1:10. Depending on the size of the product, the weighted parts range from 1 to 5 ounces.
Kristin W.
So far it hasn't made much difference but I do like that it will grow with her. The added pouch for smaller babies and larger option is great
Gabriel N.
Overall the design of the swaddle is well made and very soft. Unsure if the weights actually helped my daughter as she still needs a good amount of soothing and still usually a hand on her chest to go to sleep.
Sasha V.
My baby was so restless due to his startle reflex but since we have been using nested beans swaddle he has been able to fall asleep within just a few a minutes and stays asleep for a couple of hours. My husband and I love how easy it is to use and it is by far the softest and nicest swaddle we have come across!
Eva B.
Baby Boy was waking 2-3 times in the night. He would have a hard time getting back to sleep and sometimes wouldn’t go back down after the 3rd time. After 2 nights using the nested bean swaddle he was only waking the 2 times to eat but would go right back to sleep afterwards. Thanks you so much Nested bean. We WILL be getting the sleep sack when he s but bigger.
Chelsea F.
Our baby has slept an extra hour since getting this swaddle. She loves it and stays asleep more soundly especially when going from rocking her to laying her down in her bassinet. Also, the designs on the swaddle are so cute, love the butterflies!
Sheena
I got the Zen Classic Swaddle for my 1 month old, he is now 2 months old. I believe his sleep is still the same where he wakes twice a night to feed. However, he definitely calms down when I wrap him up. The only concern I have is when he decides to fight his arms out and the Velcro is still attached and the swaddle part rides up to his neck which poses a strangulation hazard. He isn't ready to be completely unswaddled yet, so I have to keep my eye on him. Other than that, it's a good product to have for the little one!
Teresa G.
my baby sleeps thru the night
Zachary W.
Works great!
Amy S.
My grandson falls asleep so much better with this!!
Linnea S.
Not only does my daughter love this swaddle it has helped her sleep better throughout the night in just a week I love this brand.
Libby P.
I want* to give this a 5, I really do, because there are so many things I love about this product. The thing I noticed though, which is the only reason it doesn't have 5 stars, is how my infant acts when I take it off. Now, it could be just normal baby fussiness, but I did also buy a regular Halo swaddle sack and he did not act this way. When I take off this swaddle sack, he cries ALOT and really heavy. I think having the weight on him for so long, as he's rocking back and forth, and moving about might make certain spots cramp up, and when I take it off of him, it releases the tension, and upsets him. That's my best guess, I could be wrong. Otherwise, the material is lovely, and design super cool. Between this and the Halo, I honestly think normal swaddle blankets are such a waste of money, but that could be because my baby from day 1 was busting out of blankets like it was his job, and these were the perfect solution.
Adeline W.
We bought this for our baby the first week he was home! He absolutely loved it way more than any other swaddle . It keeps them in there tight and comforts them with the weight. He also slept longer with this swaddle. We are now ordering the sleep sack and hope it works just as well ! Great material . Love this brand.
Crystal W.
The swaddle is nice.. it was just to big to use for my 1 month old. Size states 0-6.
Jean R.
Bought as gift and recipient loves it!
Jeana M.
I do like this swaddle a lot because it’s weighted and my daughter definitely loves that. Although the Velcro strips ends are starting to curl up, only had it for 2 weeks now. My daughter is a mover & still gets her hands out no matter how tight I make it. I wish they made this type of swaddle with a zip and same amount of weight not just the little egg on the chest. Overall, I think it’s worth the price & does work better than regular swaddles that we tried.
Katia K.
Bought this swaddle after having tried so many others- the first night we had our baby girl in it, she slept through to 4 am (from 8 pm bedtime) for the very first time! She then did it again the next nights… she’s now transitioning out of the swaddle but I highly recommend this one to friends- I think the gentle weighting really works, and the material is so soft. A high quality product!
Shanlie A.
This swaddle really helped my daughter STAY asleep. At about one month we stopped being consistent with swaddling her because we thought she didn't like her arms being constricted (that wasn't true, shouldn't have given in so quickly, new parent/rookie mistake). Shortly after this, her sleep would get interrupted more & more because her arms would twitch and move in her sleep (startle reflex) and we started to notice her mood change a little, being more fussy and cry from being tired. My friend recommended this product and it made a difference! Longer, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep and a happy baby! She can sleep 8 whole hours without waking up at night and she's only 2 months old. That sounds like a WIN for us! Also, she doesn't mind her arms being held down, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because we do notice that, because she still moves & wiggles while in the swaddle, sometimes the flaps move up towards her neck/mouth so that worries me. Also, a small part of me worries that if she needs to move because of coughing/spit up, her arms are too restricted and she won't be able to. None of these things have happened and she doesn't spit up, but it's something I keep an eye on. She only wears this for her long night sleep, so it's not a major concern.
Laura G.
Our daughter would wake up after 10-15 minutes of putting her in the bassinet and we were barely getting any sleep. The only way for us to get sleep was to switch with each other and hold her to let her sleep and also let the other parents get rest. As soon as we used this swaddle we immediately saw a change the first night and continued to get better each night. Now we get between 3-6 hours of sleep at a time. It is amazing and gives us peace of mind knowing she is safe in the bassinet while we are also sound asleep. I am do glad we tried this. It was truly a game changer for our whole family!
Amanda C.
Worth its weight in gold. My two month old slept for 7 hours straight the third night of trying this out. I could weep for joy. This is what I’m getting new mom’s at baby showers from here on out.
Only complaint is the Velcro is loud, but what can you do?
Anna C.
This swaddle is ok. The material is nice and lightweight, but my little one just didn't seem to love it. Also, it's tough for nighttime changes since it is pretty disruptive. It would be great to have access from the bottom for the future.
Amber N.
Love this product! My son hated every swaddle we tried and would not sleep unless being held. The first night we tried this swaddle he slept in his bassinet! We love it so much we have already purchased the sleep sack for when he grows out of this swaddle.
Mollly W.
So far it's not helping my 5 week old. It seems to looosen up compared to other swaddles so I worry about that all night long. I'm hoping it helps soon.
Lynelle M.
Loved this for my tiny baby
Elizabeth B.
Love this swaddle! Now that my son is long enough we use it as a sleep sack. He sleeps longer through the night thanks to the weighted design!
Lindsay G.
My sister in law suggested we try the Nested Bean swaddle when she heard our infant was having a series of fussy nights. Baby loves this comforting swaddle, it’s most definitely his favorite. A must-try for restless babies.
Jessica A.
I was really looking forward to this product from all the reviews, however didn't make a difference for us sad to say. Still no sleep for these parents.
Jenna L.
Love this swaddle! Makes a world of difference! Material is soft, Velcro is good quality.
Ashton C.
The swaddle is very soft. My 2 month has been sleeping through the night after a couple nights use.
Stephanie C.
It’s not as great as I expected. My 3-month old kicks the middle weighted portion off by morning, which also causes his arms to not stay swaddled. He does sleep through the night but he did that before this swaddle.
Patricia F.
It’s excellent
Katy O.
I really wanted to love this product, unfortunately the swaddle version did not work for my daughter by the 2nd midnight feeding the weighted chest portion always slid and would end up at her feed. Maybe it was user error and I wasn’t swaddle tight enough, regardless I prefer the zipper version, easier to put on and doesn’t budge.
Cameorn H.
Our little dude loves this swaddle! He falls asleep so fast now. The weights give him a sense of calm and it is so easy to use compared to a normal swaddle. I bought 2 already to give to friends.
Casey L.
The swaddle worked the very first night we used it! My son is almost 6 weeks old and we've been using it for about 2 1/2 weeks now and he sleeps pretty much through the night! It's amazing! I highly recommend this swaddle and will be buying more!!!
Brittany M.
My daughter was resistant at first and I needed and wanted to try anything to get a decent nights rest! One tired mama. Well with the added weight I believe it just added that extra comfort babies look for because at 5 weeks old I started to get longer stretches of night sleep from my little one.
Taylor Z.
Exactly what I hoped for, baby loves it, and he'll be able to grow in it! Plus it's a super cool design, beyond happy.
Devin L.
My baby went from inconsolable at night to sleeping 6 hours!!! Thank God for the Nested Bean! Saved my sanity!
Nicole S.
I received this as a shower gift. Baby is due at the end of Dec. I will review it once she is born. However I do love it. Thanks
Angelina G.
My daughter was having a tough time sleeping when we put her in the bassinet/ crib. I saw advertisements for the Zen Swaddle / Sleep Sack and decided to finally try it out. I am SO happy I did because she sleeps 3+ hours with it (which means I get 3+ hours of sleep too!). She loves the feeling of being held and the Zen swaddle gives her that feeling while in her own bed!
Brenda F.
She loves it. We love it. She sleeps a lot better now. Last night she slept from 11:30-5 am. She’s 6 weeks.
Jill C.
The best swaddle we own! My baby’s favorite!
Erinne
Out of desperation I ordered our swaddle at 3 in the morning one night because I needed a solution & some sleep! My daughter was only sleeping in 3 hr increments and had to be held/cuddled to sleep well. Regular swaddles weren’t doing it, and I stumbled across these.
The first night we put her in it she slept 4hrs straight. I figured it was coincidence. Next night 5 hrs & last night she slept from 11-5, so 6 hrs!!!! She’s currently 7 weeks old. I couldn’t believe it and just had to hop on and right a review! I’ll be buying a back up swaddle now and most likely every product offered. You can’t put a price on good sleep!
Martha H.
I bought it for my new great grandson. He has colic and bad acid reflux. He finally got some medicine for his reflux but didn’t sleep much, so this has really help him to sleep better and longer. Thanks for your wonderful product.
sara h.
would have given 5 stars but no matter how tight we wrap it it ends up bunched up around her face and neck because it slides up and has to be readjusted and also my little one kicks her feet alot and she ends up kicking the weighted portion down around her feet lol specially when she's mad.but she does sleep better and instantly calms a bit when he weight is placed on her chest. I would still recommend to others
Chelsea T.
I love the material and I feel like this swaddle works really well! The only thing about this is that my baby will escape his arms out of the bottom of the swaddle. I also wish there was a was to change him in the night without having to unswaddle him. Maybe a zipper or something like that. I do love the swaddle overall though and think it’s a great product!
Jessica T.
We're had a little trouble with the fit...I like that there's a smaller pocket inside for smaller babies, and now we've graduated out of the interior pocket but still seem a little too small for the larger part of the swaddle. I'm not sure that the weights have done anything additional than a regular, unweighted swaddle, but hey, who knows. I guess it was worth a shot.
Ruth C.
A Must have for every newborn.
Meliah I.
I love this and she sleeps so well. The only difference I would love to see is a seem or pocket for her hands to go or the ability to fold over her hands right before wrapping.
jacqueline m.
Our baby didn’t seem to have much difference in sleep and calmness even with the weighted stuff on her. I really wanted it to work out :(
Amber H.
I really love the Zen Swaddle and my little seems to love it too! My only suggestion would be to put a zipper in for easy midnight diaper changes!
Saira G.
I love this swaddle! It is great quality❤ I love the colors and how the baby can use it as a newborn all the way to 6 months. Its super convinient if you want to save money! Again customer service is amazing and very helpful!
Rebecca R.
We love the zen swaddle! Such a great purchase!
Erica B.
I liked the soft material and that the velcro wasn't scratchy. Maybe this would work for a brand-new newborn, but my 2-3 mo old would squirm a little and completely pull this swaddle apart in any direction, no matter how firmly my husband or I wrapped him in it. And the velcro wasn't very strong either.
Catherine J.
The first night I put my 6 week daughter in this swaddle she slept for an extra hour in between feedings at night! It was an instant success, highly recommend!
Lorraine N.
Love it
Anastasiya L.
The swaddle is nice. Good quality and the velcro is super strong; almost too strong. I I really like the extra weight on the sides. However, the length of the swaddle is very short. My daughter is 6 weeks old and her legs barely had any extra space. I can’t imagine that she would be able to fit into it at 3 months, let alone 6.
Alana C.
He doesn't like when I wrap him but once I'm finished he's out like a light! He does wiggle out of it sometimes after wearing it so long. We try very hard to wrap him tightly so that he can not wiggle those arms up!
Rachel Z.
I wanted to love this.. after 4 nights, he Hudini'd his way right out of it each night. And I was wrapping him up super tight! It would be on backwards and hands out and wrapped around his neck (not in a scary way) by morning. So not my jam
Katlynn C.
This swaddle worked for the first couple weeks and then didn’t do much after that. My baby kicks so much that she actually kicks off the sack itself… she also pushes her arms out. When she’s moving around the fabric pulls up to her face and it makes me super nervous. I swaddle her tight as well. For how how expensive this product is I was hoping for it to work and no cause this many issues. Will not be making another purchase.
Megan V.
This swaddle is nice for my 4 month old who likes to be swaddled with her arms out. Easy to wrap and the Velcro is fairly quiet which is nice.
Kim H.
Bought for my daughter who is a first time mom. This was a wonderful lifesaver. Easy to use, easy to clean and best of all our grandson loves it.
Brittany B.
I haven’t really noticed much of a change in my son’s sleep habits…he seems to sleep better during the day, but not sleeping any longer at night. He is also already breaking out of the swaddle, even though it’s wrapped tightly. I’m bummed because I was so excited for this and thought it’d make a big difference, but it doesn’t seem like this is for us…
Emma C.
Since using the swaddle my newborn has been sleeping 4 1/2-5 hour stretches. He was not sleeping that long before purchasing it. The only thing I don’t like is that he’s able to work his hands up and it causes the swaddle to be all bunched up around his neck/face which makes me nervous. I think I will have to purchase the zen sack instead of using the swaddle
Anna G.
I love the material of this swaddle but the weighted part doesn’t stay in place well and it was very easy for my little one to get out of. Not worth the cost in my opinion!
Samantha O.
It's a well made swaddle and I bought it to help with daytime naps, but she doesn't really sleep and longer during the day with it on. At 8 weeks I can barely get her to sleep more than 20 minutes for a nap, but she sleep about 6 hours in one stretch at night (which she did before the swaddle)
Rachael Z.
We’ve been using this swaddle for a couple of weeks on our newborn. I bought it out of desperation in the middle of a hard night. He was about 7.5 lbs. when we started, and it was just small enough.
The swaddle is nice quality, soft, and stretchy. He hasn’t been able to get his arms out from the top or bottom. However, because of the stretchiness, his arms always end up near his face after a little while of wiggling.
It is a nice, easy swaddle to use. I gave it a three-star rating, however, because I feel that the weighted chest and sides make no difference in my baby’s sleep or calming compared to muslin and other Velcro swaddles we’ve used. Since the weights are the whole selling point of the product, I feel that it was not worth the higher price.
Every baby is different though, so I will keep it for future babies.
Ashley B.
Love these for both of our babies! We have 3 of them and use them every night.
Beth Z.
Baby slept 7 hours her first night wearing! The fabric is so soft and stretchy. And washes beautifully. Mom immediately purchased one for a friend with a newborn. Love, love, love this swaddle!
Signed,
A very happy Grandma
Leah F.
These are so easy to swaddle and leave plenty of room for baby to grow into while still working for little newborns!
Kerrie D.
It really works!
Katie L.
This swaddle has saved my sanity! My son is a month old and he would literally cry the second you put him down for bed. With this swaddle, he sleeps through the night until his next feeding. Love it!!!
Raelene S.
The zen swaddle doesn’t seem to calm my child or help them sleep longer as proposed. But the material is soft and high quality, the design is cute and it is something my little one could grow into.
Ashley s.
Unfortunately my baby can wiggle his legs out of the bottom so the weighted part is no longer on him, and gets his arms up and out of the swaddle. I have to rewrap him 1-2 times a night. Works for naps as he just wakes when he wiggles out. Would be better if the weighted part was sewn up the sides
Ashley S.
The Velcro is great and I think the gentle extra weight helps my baby with his startle reflex. The swaddle is well made and worth the cost.
Kylie F.
I bought this swaddle at 3am when I was exhausted and up for the 4th time with my baby. Ever since we received the swaddle we have had maybe one or two sleepless nights and that’s getting up every 2 hours. On a normal night we are up every 3-4 hours for feeding and right back to sleep. I love this swaddle and my baby loves this swaddle. She sleeps so much better in it! 10/10 would recommend this to any new parents. I personally plan on buying more of their products as my baby gets older! Definitely worth every dollar spent on it!
Maggie
My 4 week old baby girl went from waking up every time we set her down in her bassinet and waking every hour or so to sleeping in 2-3 hour stretches with no issues being laid down! It’s been a game changer for this tired mom of 4!
Jennifer M.
I bought a sleep sack for my first son when he started rolling over and couldn’t be swaddled anymore. He and I both loved it! When my newborn son had difficulty sleeping in his crib I immediately bought this swaddle blanket for him... it has helped so much! He’s 7 weeks old and will sleep 3-4 hour chunks in his crib now - yay! Thank you nested bean!
Kylie
Absolutely love this! My baby sleeps longer which means I sleep longer! If she doesn’t have it she doesn’t sleep as well. I would 100% recommend!
Nathan P.
It's supposed to be for 0 to 6 months and our little one is 6 weeks. The swaddle is entirely too big for him right now.
Kourtney C.
My baby loves this swaddle. He wasn't sleeping in the bassinet, but once I put this swaddle on him he fell asleep in it within 20 minutes. Very easy to put on and soft
Michelle K.
It’s not her thing... :( but hopefully it’ll work for the next baby! My baby girl right now hates being swaddled in anyway, even it touching her feet. she loves sleeping stretched out lol.
Jannie K.
I absolutely love this swaddle! My little one slept from four hour increments to sleeping 8-9 after purchasing this item! He also seemed to wiggle his way out of other swaddles, but this one he likes to stay nice and snug. Will definitely be purchasing other items from nested bean as he grows!
Brittany M.
This thing has changed our life. Our little girl was sleeping 10-3 every night which isn't bad. After 3 nights of this swaddle, she started sleeping 10-6 and is only 2 months old. She absolutely loves it and goes down with ease.
Garry W.
We get at least 3 or 4 more hours of sleep a night. We all love it.
Sandra S.
The zen swaddle is so ready to get on and off, it's the perfect amount of weight and the Velcro is super strong. My 7 week old just slept 8.5 hours in it. Love it so much we'll order another!
Shari T.
Love it
Kelly C.
We had this one from new born until 3 months. It was a life saver on many nights!
Grace P.
Love the quality!
Ashleigh
We LOVE our nested bean. We have four swaddles!! Will be buying the sacks and possibly the zen one for as she grows!!
Jamie M.
My 8 week old wriggles out of it every night. I will say I do think he sleeps better when he can keep it on but somehow he manages to break free. I can’t imagine this lasting till 6 months. I’ve watched all the videos on how to properly put it on but I think our issue is his arms are so long and stick out the bottom.
Alison S.
We have a one month old, our third child, who would not sleep for longer than an hour when on his back in his bassinet. We introduced the Zen swaddle and he’s now sleeping for two hours of longer during naps or during the night. Total game changer for us exhausted parents! Would highly recommend for any trouble sleepers out there.
Stephanie M.
its very soft and easy to put on baby. It just didn't help with his sleep.
Michelle P.
We love this swaddle! Use it every night
Mikalene W.
Only way my 1 month old will sleep in her bassinet. Within 3 nights we went from 2 hour stretches at night to 4. Life saver!
Courtney S.
It was exactly what I wanted for the new baby in the family.
Savannah T.
This swaddle/sack is great! Lots of room to grow into and holds him snug and warm all night.
Tristanne S.
I love the idea of this swaddle but we didn’t see much difference at all in sleep between this and the other (cheaper!) swaddles we already have. It would be a huge bonus if this had a zipper for nighttime diaper changes as well.
Kelly A.
We tried many swadddles and love this one the most. It’s simple and easy to use and keeps his little hands by his side. The weighted section is so comforting and we’ve noticed he’s able to self soothe and fall asleep on his own since we started using this swaddle!
Jolene S.
The best newborn swaddle! This is a baby must have! I recommend it to every mama!
emily m.
I love the material of the sleep sack but after almost 2 weeks I wouldn’t say my baby is sleeping any better. :(
Lexi Z.
1000 % recommended! Our little babe loves to be held and refuses to sleep without being held. This saved us big time, took about two weeks for us to finally get some 5 hour sleep stretches without being picked up but it’s so worth it.
Kristin W.
So far it hasn't made much difference but I do like that it will grow with her. The added pouch for smaller babies and larger option is great
Gabriel N.
Overall the design of the swaddle is well made and very soft. Unsure if the weights actually helped my daughter as she still needs a good amount of soothing and still usually a hand on her chest to go to sleep.
Sasha V.
My baby was so restless due to his startle reflex but since we have been using nested beans swaddle he has been able to fall asleep within just a few a minutes and stays asleep for a couple of hours. My husband and I love how easy it is to use and it is by far the softest and nicest swaddle we have come across!
Eva B.
Baby Boy was waking 2-3 times in the night. He would have a hard time getting back to sleep and sometimes wouldn’t go back down after the 3rd time. After 2 nights using the nested bean swaddle he was only waking the 2 times to eat but would go right back to sleep afterwards. Thanks you so much Nested bean. We WILL be getting the sleep sack when he s but bigger.
Chelsea F.
Our baby has slept an extra hour since getting this swaddle. She loves it and stays asleep more soundly especially when going from rocking her to laying her down in her bassinet. Also, the designs on the swaddle are so cute, love the butterflies!

I got the Zen Classic Swaddle for my 1 month old, he is now 2 months old. I believe his sleep is still the same where he wakes twice a night to feed. However, he definitely calms down when I wrap him up. The only concern I have is when he decides to fight his arms out and the Velcro is still attached and the swaddle part rides up to his neck which poses a strangulation hazard. He isn't ready to be completely unswaddled yet, so I have to keep my eye on him. Other than that, it's a good product to have for the little one!

Not only does my daughter love this swaddle it has helped her sleep better throughout the night in just a week I love this brand.

I want* to give this a 5, I really do, because there are so many things I love about this product. The thing I noticed though, which is the only reason it doesn't have 5 stars, is how my infant acts when I take it off. Now, it could be just normal baby fussiness, but I did also buy a regular Halo swaddle sack and he did not act this way. When I take off this swaddle sack, he cries ALOT and really heavy. I think having the weight on him for so long, as he's rocking back and forth, and moving about might make certain spots cramp up, and when I take it off of him, it releases the tension, and upsets him. That's my best guess, I could be wrong. Otherwise, the material is lovely, and design super cool. Between this and the Halo, I honestly think normal swaddle blankets are such a waste of money, but that could be because my baby from day 1 was busting out of blankets like it was his job, and these were the perfect solution.

We bought this for our baby the first week he was home! He absolutely loved it way more than any other swaddle . It keeps them in there tight and comforts them with the weight. He also slept longer with this swaddle. We are now ordering the sleep sack and hope it works just as well ! Great material . Love this brand.
Crystal W.
The swaddle is nice.. it was just to big to use for my 1 month old. Size states 0-6.
Jean R.
Bought as gift and recipient loves it!

I do like this swaddle a lot because it’s weighted and my daughter definitely loves that. Although the Velcro strips ends are starting to curl up, only had it for 2 weeks now. My daughter is a mover & still gets her hands out no matter how tight I make it. I wish they made this type of swaddle with a zip and same amount of weight not just the little egg on the chest. Overall, I think it’s worth the price & does work better than regular swaddles that we tried.

Bought this swaddle after having tried so many others- the first night we had our baby girl in it, she slept through to 4 am (from 8 pm bedtime) for the very first time! She then did it again the next nights… she’s now transitioning out of the swaddle but I highly recommend this one to friends- I think the gentle weighting really works, and the material is so soft. A high quality product!

This swaddle really helped my daughter STAY asleep. At about one month we stopped being consistent with swaddling her because we thought she didn't like her arms being constricted (that wasn't true, shouldn't have given in so quickly, new parent/rookie mistake). Shortly after this, her sleep would get interrupted more & more because her arms would twitch and move in her sleep (startle reflex) and we started to notice her mood change a little, being more fussy and cry from being tired. My friend recommended this product and it made a difference! Longer, peaceful, uninterrupted sleep and a happy baby! She can sleep 8 whole hours without waking up at night and she's only 2 months old. That sounds like a WIN for us! Also, she doesn't mind her arms being held down, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because we do notice that, because she still moves & wiggles while in the swaddle, sometimes the flaps move up towards her neck/mouth so that worries me. Also, a small part of me worries that if she needs to move because of coughing/spit up, her arms are too restricted and she won't be able to. None of these things have happened and she doesn't spit up, but it's something I keep an eye on. She only wears this for her long night sleep, so it's not a major concern.

Our daughter would wake up after 10-15 minutes of putting her in the bassinet and we were barely getting any sleep. The only way for us to get sleep was to switch with each other and hold her to let her sleep and also let the other parents get rest. As soon as we used this swaddle we immediately saw a change the first night and continued to get better each night. Now we get between 3-6 hours of sleep at a time. It is amazing and gives us peace of mind knowing she is safe in the bassinet while we are also sound asleep. I am do glad we tried this. It was truly a game changer for our whole family!
Amanda C.
Worth its weight in gold. My two month old slept for 7 hours straight the third night of trying this out. I could weep for joy. This is what I’m getting new mom’s at baby showers from here on out.
Only complaint is the Velcro is loud, but what can you do?
Anna C.
This swaddle is ok. The material is nice and lightweight, but my little one just didn't seem to love it. Also, it's tough for nighttime changes since it is pretty disruptive. It would be great to have access from the bottom for the future.
Amber N.
Love this product! My son hated every swaddle we tried and would not sleep unless being held. The first night we tried this swaddle he slept in his bassinet! We love it so much we have already purchased the sleep sack for when he grows out of this swaddle.
Mollly W.
So far it's not helping my 5 week old. It seems to looosen up compared to other swaddles so I worry about that all night long. I'm hoping it helps soon.
Lynelle M.
Loved this for my tiny baby
Elizabeth B.
Love this swaddle! Now that my son is long enough we use it as a sleep sack. He sleeps longer through the night thanks to the weighted design!
Lindsay G.
My sister in law suggested we try the Nested Bean swaddle when she heard our infant was having a series of fussy nights. Baby loves this comforting swaddle, it’s most definitely his favorite. A must-try for restless babies.
Jessica A.
I was really looking forward to this product from all the reviews, however didn't make a difference for us sad to say. Still no sleep for these parents.
Jenna L.
Love this swaddle! Makes a world of difference! Material is soft, Velcro is good quality.
Ashton C.
The swaddle is very soft. My 2 month has been sleeping through the night after a couple nights use.
Stephanie C.
It’s not as great as I expected. My 3-month old kicks the middle weighted portion off by morning, which also causes his arms to not stay swaddled. He does sleep through the night but he did that before this swaddle.
Patricia F.
It’s excellent
Katy O.
I really wanted to love this product, unfortunately the swaddle version did not work for my daughter by the 2nd midnight feeding the weighted chest portion always slid and would end up at her feed. Maybe it was user error and I wasn’t swaddle tight enough, regardless I prefer the zipper version, easier to put on and doesn’t budge.
Cameorn H.
Our little dude loves this swaddle! He falls asleep so fast now. The weights give him a sense of calm and it is so easy to use compared to a normal swaddle. I bought 2 already to give to friends.
Casey L.
The swaddle worked the very first night we used it! My son is almost 6 weeks old and we've been using it for about 2 1/2 weeks now and he sleeps pretty much through the night! It's amazing! I highly recommend this swaddle and will be buying more!!!
Brittany M.
My daughter was resistant at first and I needed and wanted to try anything to get a decent nights rest! One tired mama. Well with the added weight I believe it just added that extra comfort babies look for because at 5 weeks old I started to get longer stretches of night sleep from my little one.
Taylor Z.
Exactly what I hoped for, baby loves it, and he'll be able to grow in it! Plus it's a super cool design, beyond happy.
Devin L.
My baby went from inconsolable at night to sleeping 6 hours!!! Thank God for the Nested Bean! Saved my sanity!
Nicole S.
I received this as a shower gift. Baby is due at the end of Dec. I will review it once she is born. However I do love it. Thanks
Angelina G.
My daughter was having a tough time sleeping when we put her in the bassinet/ crib. I saw advertisements for the Zen Swaddle / Sleep Sack and decided to finally try it out. I am SO happy I did because she sleeps 3+ hours with it (which means I get 3+ hours of sleep too!). She loves the feeling of being held and the Zen swaddle gives her that feeling while in her own bed!
Brenda F.
She loves it. We love it. She sleeps a lot better now. Last night she slept from 11:30-5 am. She’s 6 weeks.
Jill C.
The best swaddle we own! My baby’s favorite!
Erinne
Out of desperation I ordered our swaddle at 3 in the morning one night because I needed a solution & some sleep! My daughter was only sleeping in 3 hr increments and had to be held/cuddled to sleep well. Regular swaddles weren’t doing it, and I stumbled across these.
The first night we put her in it she slept 4hrs straight. I figured it was coincidence. Next night 5 hrs & last night she slept from 11-5, so 6 hrs!!!! She’s currently 7 weeks old. I couldn’t believe it and just had to hop on and right a review! I’ll be buying a back up swaddle now and most likely every product offered. You can’t put a price on good sleep!
Martha H.
I bought it for my new great grandson. He has colic and bad acid reflux. He finally got some medicine for his reflux but didn’t sleep much, so this has really help him to sleep better and longer. Thanks for your wonderful product.
sara h.
would have given 5 stars but no matter how tight we wrap it it ends up bunched up around her face and neck because it slides up and has to be readjusted and also my little one kicks her feet alot and she ends up kicking the weighted portion down around her feet lol specially when she's mad.but she does sleep better and instantly calms a bit when he weight is placed on her chest. I would still recommend to others
Chelsea T.
I love the material and I feel like this swaddle works really well! The only thing about this is that my baby will escape his arms out of the bottom of the swaddle. I also wish there was a was to change him in the night without having to unswaddle him. Maybe a zipper or something like that. I do love the swaddle overall though and think it’s a great product!
Jessica T.
We're had a little trouble with the fit...I like that there's a smaller pocket inside for smaller babies, and now we've graduated out of the interior pocket but still seem a little too small for the larger part of the swaddle. I'm not sure that the weights have done anything additional than a regular, unweighted swaddle, but hey, who knows. I guess it was worth a shot.
Ruth C.
A Must have for every newborn.
Meliah I.
I love this and she sleeps so well. The only difference I would love to see is a seem or pocket for her hands to go or the ability to fold over her hands right before wrapping.
jacqueline m.
Our baby didn’t seem to have much difference in sleep and calmness even with the weighted stuff on her. I really wanted it to work out :(
Amber H.
I really love the Zen Swaddle and my little seems to love it too! My only suggestion would be to put a zipper in for easy midnight diaper changes!
Saira G.
I love this swaddle! It is great quality❤ I love the colors and how the baby can use it as a newborn all the way to 6 months. Its super convinient if you want to save money! Again customer service is amazing and very helpful!
Rebecca R.
We love the zen swaddle! Such a great purchase!
Erica B.
I liked the soft material and that the velcro wasn't scratchy. Maybe this would work for a brand-new newborn, but my 2-3 mo old would squirm a little and completely pull this swaddle apart in any direction, no matter how firmly my husband or I wrapped him in it. And the velcro wasn't very strong either.
Catherine J.
The first night I put my 6 week daughter in this swaddle she slept for an extra hour in between feedings at night! It was an instant success, highly recommend!
Lorraine N.
Love it
Anastasiya L.
The swaddle is nice. Good quality and the velcro is super strong; almost too strong. I I really like the extra weight on the sides. However, the length of the swaddle is very short. My daughter is 6 weeks old and her legs barely had any extra space. I can’t imagine that she would be able to fit into it at 3 months, let alone 6.
Alana C.
He doesn't like when I wrap him but once I'm finished he's out like a light! He does wiggle out of it sometimes after wearing it so long. We try very hard to wrap him tightly so that he can not wiggle those arms up!
Rachel Z.
I wanted to love this.. after 4 nights, he Hudini'd his way right out of it each night. And I was wrapping him up super tight! It would be on backwards and hands out and wrapped around his neck (not in a scary way) by morning. So not my jam
Katlynn C.
This swaddle worked for the first couple weeks and then didn’t do much after that. My baby kicks so much that she actually kicks off the sack itself… she also pushes her arms out. When she’s moving around the fabric pulls up to her face and it makes me super nervous. I swaddle her tight as well. For how how expensive this product is I was hoping for it to work and no cause this many issues. Will not be making another purchase.
Megan V.
This swaddle is nice for my 4 month old who likes to be swaddled with her arms out. Easy to wrap and the Velcro is fairly quiet which is nice.
Kim H.
Bought for my daughter who is a first time mom. This was a wonderful lifesaver. Easy to use, easy to clean and best of all our grandson loves it.
Brittany B.
I haven’t really noticed much of a change in my son’s sleep habits…he seems to sleep better during the day, but not sleeping any longer at night. He is also already breaking out of the swaddle, even though it’s wrapped tightly. I’m bummed because I was so excited for this and thought it’d make a big difference, but it doesn’t seem like this is for us…
Emma C.
Since using the swaddle my newborn has been sleeping 4 1/2-5 hour stretches. He was not sleeping that long before purchasing it. The only thing I don’t like is that he’s able to work his hands up and it causes the swaddle to be all bunched up around his neck/face which makes me nervous. I think I will have to purchase the zen sack instead of using the swaddle
Anna G.
I love the material of this swaddle but the weighted part doesn’t stay in place well and it was very easy for my little one to get out of. Not worth the cost in my opinion!
Samantha O.
It's a well made swaddle and I bought it to help with daytime naps, but she doesn't really sleep and longer during the day with it on. At 8 weeks I can barely get her to sleep more than 20 minutes for a nap, but she sleep about 6 hours in one stretch at night (which she did before the swaddle)
Rachael Z.
We’ve been using this swaddle for a couple of weeks on our newborn. I bought it out of desperation in the middle of a hard night. He was about 7.5 lbs. when we started, and it was just small enough.
The swaddle is nice quality, soft, and stretchy. He hasn’t been able to get his arms out from the top or bottom. However, because of the stretchiness, his arms always end up near his face after a little while of wiggling.
It is a nice, easy swaddle to use. I gave it a three-star rating, however, because I feel that the weighted chest and sides make no difference in my baby’s sleep or calming compared to muslin and other Velcro swaddles we’ve used. Since the weights are the whole selling point of the product, I feel that it was not worth the higher price.
Every baby is different though, so I will keep it for future babies.
Ashley B.
Love these for both of our babies! We have 3 of them and use them every night.
Beth Z.
Baby slept 7 hours her first night wearing! The fabric is so soft and stretchy. And washes beautifully. Mom immediately purchased one for a friend with a newborn. Love, love, love this swaddle!
Signed,
A very happy Grandma
Leah F.
These are so easy to swaddle and leave plenty of room for baby to grow into while still working for little newborns!
Kerrie D.
It really works!
Katie L.
This swaddle has saved my sanity! My son is a month old and he would literally cry the second you put him down for bed. With this swaddle, he sleeps through the night until his next feeding. Love it!!!
Raelene S.
The zen swaddle doesn’t seem to calm my child or help them sleep longer as proposed. But the material is soft and high quality, the design is cute and it is something my little one could grow into.
Ashley s.
Unfortunately my baby can wiggle his legs out of the bottom so the weighted part is no longer on him, and gets his arms up and out of the swaddle. I have to rewrap him 1-2 times a night. Works for naps as he just wakes when he wiggles out. Would be better if the weighted part was sewn up the sides
Ashley S.
The Velcro is great and I think the gentle extra weight helps my baby with his startle reflex. The swaddle is well made and worth the cost.
Kylie F.
I bought this swaddle at 3am when I was exhausted and up for the 4th time with my baby. Ever since we received the swaddle we have had maybe one or two sleepless nights and that’s getting up every 2 hours. On a normal night we are up every 3-4 hours for feeding and right back to sleep. I love this swaddle and my baby loves this swaddle. She sleeps so much better in it! 10/10 would recommend this to any new parents. I personally plan on buying more of their products as my baby gets older! Definitely worth every dollar spent on it!
Maggie
My 4 week old baby girl went from waking up every time we set her down in her bassinet and waking every hour or so to sleeping in 2-3 hour stretches with no issues being laid down! It’s been a game changer for this tired mom of 4!
Jennifer M.
I bought a sleep sack for my first son when he started rolling over and couldn’t be swaddled anymore. He and I both loved it! When my newborn son had difficulty sleeping in his crib I immediately bought this swaddle blanket for him... it has helped so much! He’s 7 weeks old and will sleep 3-4 hour chunks in his crib now - yay! Thank you nested bean!
Kylie
Absolutely love this! My baby sleeps longer which means I sleep longer! If she doesn’t have it she doesn’t sleep as well. I would 100% recommend!
Nathan P.
It's supposed to be for 0 to 6 months and our little one is 6 weeks. The swaddle is entirely too big for him right now.
Kourtney C.
My baby loves this swaddle. He wasn't sleeping in the bassinet, but once I put this swaddle on him he fell asleep in it within 20 minutes. Very easy to put on and soft
Michelle K.
It’s not her thing... :( but hopefully it’ll work for the next baby! My baby girl right now hates being swaddled in anyway, even it touching her feet. she loves sleeping stretched out lol.
Jannie K.
I absolutely love this swaddle! My little one slept from four hour increments to sleeping 8-9 after purchasing this item! He also seemed to wiggle his way out of other swaddles, but this one he likes to stay nice and snug. Will definitely be purchasing other items from nested bean as he grows!
Brittany M.
This thing has changed our life. Our little girl was sleeping 10-3 every night which isn't bad. After 3 nights of this swaddle, she started sleeping 10-6 and is only 2 months old. She absolutely loves it and goes down with ease.
Garry W.
We get at least 3 or 4 more hours of sleep a night. We all love it.
Sandra S.
The zen swaddle is so ready to get on and off, it's the perfect amount of weight and the Velcro is super strong. My 7 week old just slept 8.5 hours in it. Love it so much we'll order another!
Shari T.
Love it
Kelly C.
We had this one from new born until 3 months. It was a life saver on many nights!
Grace P.
Love the quality!
Ashleigh
We LOVE our nested bean. We have four swaddles!! Will be buying the sacks and possibly the zen one for as she grows!!
Jamie M.
My 8 week old wriggles out of it every night. I will say I do think he sleeps better when he can keep it on but somehow he manages to break free. I can’t imagine this lasting till 6 months. I’ve watched all the videos on how to properly put it on but I think our issue is his arms are so long and stick out the bottom.
Alison S.
We have a one month old, our third child, who would not sleep for longer than an hour when on his back in his bassinet. We introduced the Zen swaddle and he’s now sleeping for two hours of longer during naps or during the night. Total game changer for us exhausted parents! Would highly recommend for any trouble sleepers out there.
Stephanie M.
its very soft and easy to put on baby. It just didn't help with his sleep.
Michelle P.
We love this swaddle! Use it every night
Mikalene W.
Only way my 1 month old will sleep in her bassinet. Within 3 nights we went from 2 hour stretches at night to 4. Life saver!
Courtney S.
It was exactly what I wanted for the new baby in the family.
Savannah T.
This swaddle/sack is great! Lots of room to grow into and holds him snug and warm all night.
Tristanne S.
I love the idea of this swaddle but we didn’t see much difference at all in sleep between this and the other (cheaper!) swaddles we already have. It would be a huge bonus if this had a zipper for nighttime diaper changes as well.
Kelly A.
We tried many swadddles and love this one the most. It’s simple and easy to use and keeps his little hands by his side. The weighted section is so comforting and we’ve noticed he’s able to self soothe and fall asleep on his own since we started using this swaddle!
Jolene S.
The best newborn swaddle! This is a baby must have! I recommend it to every mama!
emily m.
I love the material of the sleep sack but after almost 2 weeks I wouldn’t say my baby is sleeping any better. :(
Lexi Z.
1000 % recommended! Our little babe loves to be held and refuses to sleep without being held. This saved us big time, took about two weeks for us to finally get some 5 hour sleep stretches without being picked up but it’s so worth it.
