Once we realized our baby girl hated being swaddled, we looked for something that allowed her to sleep in a way that was most comfortable to her. We started with the Neo and have bumped up to the Zen one. Neither have let us down! With having her hands near her face, she can self soothe by sucking on her fist which keeps her from waking. No need to try to get her to take a binky! She started sleeping through the night at just 6 weeks old and continues to do so.

This didn’t not help my kid to sleep she slept better without that
That was too tight for her. She is 2 months old and I bought 3 to 6 months swaddle which when dressed does not fit her
She loves to sleep with her sweater on and with that the swaddle does not fit at all
The concept and fabric is nice but not for my kido

These work great! My son now sleeps for longer stretches

My mother in law bought us one swaddle and worked like a charm. I wasn’t really wanting to buy expensive unnecessary things, it even took me a while to build the courage to restrain her arms but I did it and after a 2 weeks in it she’s sleeping 6 hours a night! I havnt tested it with out the swaddle to see if the swaddle is magic or not lol. But I value my sleep too much to test it. The only thing I’d improve on is it would be nice to have a zipper on the bottom seem going horizontal so I can roll the swaddle up for diaper changes easier.

My little one hated being swaddled with arms down. He loves having his arms up and being able to get to his hands at night to self sooth
Stephanie H.
The 3-6month size runs extremely small, very disappointing. Will be returning as he absolutely won't fit in this past 3 months.
Edith R.
MY baby loves it he sleeps so comfy and I love the easy access for diaper changes which he goes right back to sleep.

We were struggling to get our newborn to sleep and stay asleep more than 45 minutes. We bought the nested bean sort of out of desperation and it has been a game changer. First night in it she slept 4 hours. We weren’t a fan the arms down part of the swaddle though, i think because of how narrow it is that it digs into her arms. We switched her to arms up and after a small adjustment she now hates arms down. Would recommend this product over and over again! We love it! In this picture we barely got her swaddle on and she passed out instantly!

They were high quality, nicely made sleep sacks! I say were because I did return them. They didn’t make our kiddos night any better or worse. I tried them for about a week, then decided I didn’t want to use them because of reason above and because I didn’t want my kiddo needing the weight on his chest all night long. My baby really just likes to be snuggled in tight, which I’m currently trying to break that too.
They are a great product and very well made. They just aren’t for us
Stanley L.
These are of high quality and well made. It’s just unfortunate they didn’t change anything for us at all. We were so hopeful that the weighted swaddle would help our little stay asleep on his own longer and break all the contact sleeping he’s been doing since bringing him home from the hospital 12 weeks ago but it didn’t result in any difference. Still rated it high because it is a well made product.
Ginny R.
We switched to nested bean after our son hated being swaddled with his arms down. He loves being able to have his arms up but still be swaddled. His sleep has improved as well as mine since I don't have to sleep with my hand on his chest. It's given us longer sleep intervals with much less fussing in-between. I took off a star because one of the arm sleeves is already tearing at the seam after a week of use.

My wife and I love swaddles. Definitely a lifesaver when it comes to mommy and daddy being able to sleep. Our baby boy is growing. Going on four months. With the regular swaddle our son would sleep 2-3 hours every night. Which was ok but we started getting fatigued. We kept seeing Nested Bean ads on social media. Checked it out. Liked what we saw in the reviews. Decided to give it a try. We bought the first Nested Bean Zen One Classic on Amazon. First night was a miracle. Our son slept for 8 hours straight. We were worried but luckily we have the Owlet dream sock. So we checked the Owlet app throughout the night. The next day we purchased two more Nested Bean Zen One Classics through Nested Bean's website. We retired the other swaddles. Also, our son falls asleep within minutes. And doesn't move. Which is a little scary. But now we know what this swaddle can do. We are able to get more sleep. Our family, friends, and co-workers ask us all the time. How are you not tired. Our response, Nested Bean Zen One Classic. Once our soon to be four month old baby boy gets older. We plan on purchasing more Nested Bean products.
Mary B.
I bought this bundle when my baby was about 3 weeks old and it didn’t work out. I tried again the other night and she’s 8 weeks old now and it seemed to work like a charm! She wss able to sleep for 4 hr stretches during the night!
Tianna M.
OBSESSED!!! Once baby grew out of swaddle this was the perfect next step to keep a good sleeper, I tell all my mom friend about this product. Worth every penny!!!
Susanna B.
Our little guy loves his nested bean! We usually get one 8 hour stretch followed by another 4 hours after he eats.
Melody S.
My daughter absolutely loves her new swaddles and she sleeps so much better in them!:)
Hannah E.
The design is really clever, I like the options to zip off the arms and the internal swaddle band. The one thing I don’t like is that the arms stick up so much even when zipped off that they brush against the little one’s cheek and he constantly roots in his sleep - we will hold onto these until he is a little older and can handle having his arms out though.
Meleithia M.
My son sleeps great with this product! It is very functional and cute! My only reason for giving the four star is that it does get bunched up under his neck at times.
Courtney T.
So soft! Multiple ways to swaddle my baby! Definitely good for transitioning from traditional swaddle to arms free!
Anne R.
Game changer in helping our little one get settled at night.
Stefanie M.
Our newborn was struggling to stay asleep at night without one of us holding her pacifier in or laying our hand on her belly to rock her. She hates having her arms swaddled down, too, which caused a lot of frustration for her when we used other swaddles for sleep time. With our oldest, we used nested bean starting at 3 months and loved it-so I'm excited to have an arms up 0-3 month option for our daughter now! She wears it for her naps and sleeps 2-3 hours between feedings at night too.
Courtney J.
I was really hoping this would get my little to sleep in her bassinet for more than 20 minutes at a time, but no luck. Still nice as a sleep sack, but has not helped with sleeping at all.
Ashley K.
The very first night that we used the Zen One our 3 month old slept for 8 hours uninterrupted. It was like magic. I have recommended these to all my friends with infants. And would also willingly shout it from the rooftops.
Melanie P.
I wasn’t sure about the nested bean swaddles, but the 2-3 days after using it, my baby Slept about 7 hours. She doesn’t like to nap so the nested bean has been a life changer! She sleeps about 1-2 hours for nap now.
Jessica V.
My little was not feeling the zipper arms like I had hoped but she does sleep much better with the weighted zen one than without. So success!
Dahiana C.
My baby is almost 5 weeks old and about 12lbs. After reading the reviews, i decided to buy 3-6 months rather than 0-3 months.
It is tight!. his poor wrists bent over like a reversed hook type of way. I’m not sure if that hurts him. Also, is really tight around his waist, i had to use some strength to zip it up. With that being said, that poses the question, is it really worth it using the product on him?
The product should be resized.
On the other hand, when he startles while using the Zen One, he still moves a bit and make some noises but that lasts like 5 seconds compared to the almost 5 minutes he does with the swaddle. So I really love this product but wishes the sizing was better along with the arm area.
Andrea L.
Perfect glad I got it!
Lindsay K.
Love this! Very helpful for transitioning !
Kelsey A.
I'm so glad we decided to test these sleep sacks out! We went from 2 hour stretches of sleep to a solid 5 hours on night ONE. These really have made all the difference in early parenthood; baby, dad, and myself are all sleeping so well thanks to these. Not to mention NestedBean has the best customer service. I normally dread calling any customer service, but since I wanted to pay with a Visa gift card I had to order over the phone, and it was nothing short of wonderful. As a busy new mom, getting to hear a kind voice who makes your order super easy is SUCH a relief. 5 stars for product as well as the people who work for this company, thank you, NestedBean!
Pederson B.
The nested bean swaddle zen ones have been a lifesaver. Helps my son sleep through the night.
Jasmyne A.
My baby absolutely loves the Zen One sleep sack he falls asleep for a long time and does not wake up until he needs to feed. This was a a match made in heaven
Hillary L.
HIGHLY recommend for the baby who fights for his arms in the traditional swaddle. Our baby would wake himself up constantly trying to escape the swaddle to reach his hands. On night one in the nested bean zen one swaddle, he slept 4 and 5 hour stretches. It provides the perfect amount of security while also allowing him to self soothe by providing access to his hands. He now also goes to sleep independently in his crib for both naps and nights because he’s not angrily trying to get to his hands and is able to put himself back to sleep if he wakes up. We couldn’t recommend these enough as they changed our baby’s sleep habits immediately (and as such made our lives a LOT easier!). Thank you nested bean!
Lindsey L.
So far, this is working well for our 6 week old. He was breaking out of every other swaddle we had and kept slapping himself in the face and waking up. I put his arms in the little mesh sleeves (which looks weird the first few times) and at least he doesn't spend 30 minutes fighting to get his arms out and he can suck on his hands if he wants.
Other pros:
- the fabric feels very nice
- I think the weighted front helps him settle faster
- the velcro inside is easy to undo and the zip up front is easy to get him into
That being said, I don't know how you could zip both arms in by their side - I couldn't get it and my baby is very average sized. I don't think he's really sleeping much longer with this swaddle, though he does settle down and fall asleep much faster.
Gloria D.
My great niece is now sleeping through the night in her own crib since I bought her the nested bean weighted onesie. Her mom bought a second one to alternate with when the other is in the wash! They LOVE them.
Alli B.
My 8 week old loves it, I just bought the two pack in the next size up since. This has been the only swaddle we have used since we got it when he was 3 weeks old and he sleeps fantastic (up to a 8 hour stretch) with being able to keep his arms up. Love that I can transition him to the sleep sack (already purchased) by unzipping one or both arms.
Cherise S.
Before using nested bean he would only sleep for very short amounts of time or while being held. Now he sleeps in 3-4 hour chunks and I can get a REM cycle. We also love the zippered hands for all the options. Our son has always wanted access to his hands.
Sarah S.
Our newborn fell asleep with my hand lightly on her chest, this was the perfect solution! She was almost 10lbs at birth so the newborn size only fit for a week or so. She loves the 3-6 month size and her hands in the wings. Highly recommend for any baby who needs a little extra comfort for night time sleep.
Sandra D.
Love the transitional properties of this item; swaddled arms to netted arms and finally free arms. The longevity of this piece is for months!
Ashley H.
I think it’s a little dangerous … had the Velcro tummy section as tight as it could go and it still kept riding up and covering my newborns face when he wound wiggle. Had to put the hands in the mesh a little prematurely to make sure it was safe.
Danielle H.
I like this sleep sack a lot my only complaint is that the neck bunches up also, sometimes the security band on the inside rides up so it is right under my babies neck.
Barbara C.
I purchased these as a Christmas gift - please resend the form after the holidays and I can better give you a review.
ALICIA P.
Love the comfort. He can move his arms some but fling then in his face. He knows its bedtime when his nested bean goes on!
Anna M.
Love this swaddle! The mesh in the hand spots is such a great idea!
Nisone K.
The first night in the Zen One my 10week old slept for 4.5 hours. This is a huge feat for us considering he was up every two hours previously. In the photo he’s asleep during our first weekend getaway trip with his older siblings still very much awake and arguing on Minecraft. Baby was startled a few times but went right back to sleep each time. I love that his little arms have enough room to move but not enough for them to flare out and wake him. Wonderful product!
Sloane T.
After 2 nights of wear, there was a hole there the solid fabric meets the mesh in the arm. My babies hand and then arm went through during the night. I contacted the company about this and have not received a response. I was very happy with the newborn zen ones I used for 5 weeks and didn't have this issue. Would have appreciated a response and a replacement for the amount of money I spent on these swaddles to keep my babies arms from waking her during the night.
Jessica K.
These are working well for my twins but unfortunately they poorly made. The first night of wear I discovered my babies foot sticking out of the swaddle. The seam fell apart and this is not due to wear & tear. Reached out to see if something could be done but never heard back! Disappointed because these are not cheap!
Stacey P.
I guess I had higher expectations. The quality is excellent!!!! My lil guy just doesn't sleep any better.
Alexis D.
We really like the zipper feature for easy diaper changes. These swaddles have also helped him sleep longer and stay swaddled during nighttime feedings/changes. Only cons would be we have a hole in one already where the inside Velcro portion attaches to the swaddle - not impressed with the durability. Also, we’ve got a big baby so he won’t be able to wear it too much longer even though it’s sized up to 6 months and he’s only 2 months. I wish there were a bigger size for bigger babies since he will still have the startle reflex to wake him up but no swaddles like these to fit :(.
Lauren M.
Unfortunately baby still not sleeping more than 2-3 hours.
van p.
I bought this out of desperation! I noticed that my LO likes the pressure of a cuddle or a hand. But hates the restrictive hands down swaddle. This did not make my LO sleep any longer, but did allow him to sleep by himself. I love the versatility of it growing with the LO. Great quality!
Lauren I.
These sleep sacks are lifesavers! Shipping is also quick. Would recommend.
Volha L.
The reason for 4 stars and not five - is because I do not believe that the elastic swaddle (the secure band inside) actually works for holding the hands in place. My son is only 11 weeks old. He actually pulled it all the way to his neck and it’s a bad choking hazard. My recommendation is to actually either redesign OR increase the size of it. So what we do now - only using the swaddle with hands up and simply wrap the band around his torso. It’s comfy and warm. But definitely not to swaddle the hands. Because if you need to use a lot of force or make it to tight - I cannot imagine it would be comfortable for babies.
Gladys N.
As a new mom, I tried every swaddle recommended to me; Anything to help baby sleep better and longer. I have to say the only swaddle my little one likes is the zen one. He now owns 4 zen one swaddles and they are absolutely amazing. At one month old he was easily sleeping 4+ hours. Now at two months old he’s sleeping 6-7 hours at night! Insane!!! I 100% recommend the zen one swaddles to all parents. Your baby’s sleep will improve and in turn, so will yours.
Chrissa E.
Very cute. The yellow one fits perfect for our little guy. We did notice that the two were not the same size and the white one was much looser than the yellow one. We will be saving it for later.
Cassie D.
After only 4 nights, my son went from sleeping 6-8 hours with 1 middle of the night wake up, to now sleeping 10-11 hours without ANY wake ups! It’s been glorious and I’ll be buying these for all my mama friends!!
KATY V.
I haven’t received these items yet. Shipping said 5-14 days and it’s been 15 days now and still no items.
Rebecca S.
I’m sure the sacks are lovely. I bought them from the US site because they aren’t available on the Canadian site. I saw that shipping takes 1-6 weeks so I paid the $30US for priority shipping to get them sooner. Still took over 6 weeks, now my son is too old for them and I can’t return.
Madelinne G.
Couldn’t live without these swaddles
Marla W.
My newborn was having a really hard time sleeping on her back. I didn’t know what to do so I looked up sleep sacks and found this God-given company! Not only does she sleep but no less than 4 hours as a 3 month old. I ended up ordering this 2 pack quickly afterwards because she sleeps in it at night and during her afternoon nap. Thank you Nested Bean. This is definitely worth the money. I wouldn’t feel somewhat rested if it wasn’t for you! Lol
WILLIAM P.
Helps my twins sleep perfectly throughout the night!
Megan P.
I bought this swaddle for my twins. They love having their hands at their face, so these swaddles are great. It keeps them bundled but let's them keep their hands up comfortably.
Marisol G.
My girl sleeps so well in it and now she doesn’t her arms don’t escape while she is being swaddle.
Karen M.
Help my grandson feels comfortable and safe!
Dhani S.
Absolutely love the zen one sleep sack for my son! Seen such an improvement in his sleeping. I am so thrilled to find such an amazing product and would highly recommend to everyone I know!
Lindsay C.
After the 3 days I was able to sleep for 4 hours straight and my 4 month old only woke up 2 times to eat. I will definitely recommend this product. Thanks
Theresa D.
I just wish they have bigger sizes for swaddle, my baby is only 2month old but she’s already 14lbs. I bought a lot of 3-6month size for swaddles and it’s already too small for her. But overall, I love it! She slept 6-8hrs with these swaddles. I’m using the sleep sack now, but the swaddle are better
Julia R.
The sleep sacks are cute and all but my boys do not fall asleep as advertised. A little disappointed at the money spent and most likely won’t be buying again.
Nicole G.
Before we got this, he would wake up between 2-3am every night! Now he’s in his bed by 9:30pm and sleeps until 6:30 am! Even if he gets fussy during the day we put him in it and he’s instantly calm! 10/10 recommend! Everyone should have these!!!!!
Justin J.
Doesn’t make me comfortable leaving my child alone because the swaddle rides up to the neck area while laying down.
MARISA S.
Great design that has worked well for transitioning out of a swaddle. Please make this in a bigger size! My 3 month old is already too long for the 3-6 month size. I can just barely squeeze him in.
