This was so small, I don’t understand? Bought according to the size chart and it barely fits my 13 lb baby. I washed before I tried it so I couldn’t return it. Size up!
Jhane G.
My baby loves it! This is the 2nd one because we had to go up a size. Been using these since she was born. She sleeps all night and she also takes her naps with it most of the time. I definitely recommend these to everybody.
Makenzie A.
Love this & highly recommend if your baby loves to be held while they sleep. The weight is about as heavy as a hand resting on your chest. My baby is 5.5 months old & sleeps so good when he wears this. Must buy!
Mackenzie C.
I was super excited to try this bc my LO only likes being swaddled with her hands up and needs my touch to fall fully asleep. Unfortunately she doesn’t care for this sleep sack at all and it even made her sleep worse! Crossing my fingers that it was a wild coincidence and she just happened to start the 3 month sleep regression the night we started using it. She was consistently sleeping a 5-6 hours stretch but now only sleeps 3. Going to give it another week before calling it quits because these were not cheap!
Warren M.
I saw the Nested Bean ad on social media and thought what a great idea, but does it really work? I went onto Amazon to shop around and saw all sorts with prices to match.
Long story short with all my research I concluded that the design and quality of Nested Bean was far superior and when we received it in the mail I was correct! Most importantly it works! Not only is it well made, it’s easy to use, our son settles down faster and sleeps longer!
Amanda G.
My daughter keeps bending her legs in this one i wish i can return this and get the sack one instead
Hanna H.
bought 3-6 months for my 3 month old and it’s a bit too snug. only wore it once and he did not like it :(
Summer H.
The Nested Bean sleeper was not my favorite of all the different sleep sacks. In fact, it’s probably my least favorite of the ones we have tried. The mesh parts on the arms were not wide enough, so my baby ended up just soaking around the mesh. It also seemed a little snug for my 3 month old even though she fit the weight.
Marissa B.
I’ve been looking for a swaddle since my baby busted out of his smaller, more traditional arms down swaddles. I’ve tried the other brands of arms up swaddles and he didn’t seem to like it, so I went for this.
I’m honestly not sure if he’d get better sleep with it, but when he wiggles his arms around the fabric around his neck starts to come up over his face. It got as far as over his mouth, which I am obviously uncomfortable with.
I took one wing off and that seems to keep it from riding up, but now I’ve lost the full swaddle effect. I would rather just have bought a regular sleep sack because they are less expensive.
I have NOT tried this with his arms down in the Velcro, so I can’t speak to that.
Skye D.
We are huge fans of the nested bean sleep sack and used it for our toddler when she stopped swaddling. Because of that we decided to try the new nested bean swaddle and unfortunately, disappointed. The inside Velcro strap is way too tight/small and you can barely strap your babe in. Because of this she was always able to wiggle her arms out. Also, the way it zips up somewhat slanted makes it wear weird on our baby. Overall bummed and I really wanted to like it.
Marian d.
Bought as a gift based on others recommendations
Kathryn M.
The velcro part is not strong enough. My baby was still able to get out of it and startle her self awake unfortunately.
Puja P.
We've always been a fan of the nested bean sleep sack but it's our first attempt with the swaddle and we really love it. Our baby is very active and will break out of a traditional swaddle so this is a game changer.
Brittany N.
My 4 month old was going through a regression and this helped him sleep all the way through the night for at least 9 hours. Worth it!
Victoria O.
My 3 month old has always been a good sleeper but this made it even better. I’m happy
Karen V.
This is a bit tighter than I expected. My 8 week old baby didn't like it, we tried it with the hands up and without the hands and she didn't feel comfortable and started to cry. I wanted to like it but it didn't change our situation at all :(
Macey D.
I LOOOVE this sleep sack! My mom suggested it for me for my first baby at around 3 months and she immediately started sleeping better. She loved to sleep with her arms up but would startle herself awake with them. I love this sleep sack because of the little arm pouches. She was able to still sleep with her arms up but have them controlled and she slept amazing. My second baby I got to start with the sleep sack right away and she does NOT sleep during the day hardly at all or won’t even take naps in her crib. But at night time when I put the sleep sack on her she feels so comfortable and sleeps amazing at night time. I can’t believe it. This sleep sack has changed my night time game and I am so grateful for it.
Kali T.
The very first night we tried our nested bean my baby slept longer than an hour! We actually made it three and a half hours before he woke us up! Now we regularly make it three to four hours between feedings at night! We absolutely love it and will be getting the next size up for him soon!
Shelby C.
This is one of my most recommended baby products! Both of my sons have loved it. My most recent baby hated traditional swaddles and wanted to sleep with his arms above his head. I took off the arms and he immediately loved it. I have ordered it in multiple sizes to wear as he grows .
Kayla L.
I’ve definitely noticed a difference in sleep since our 3 month old started wearing the zen one swaddle. He is sleeping longer and waking himself up less during the night. I think the weighted chest piece helps keep him calm and stir less too.
Lisa M.
Sleep sack is awesome. Was a little snug on my grandson but was easily exchanged for a larger sack.
Angelika A.
My baby absolutely hates it and doesn’t last longer than a few seconds before screaming. Unfortunately I accidentally threw out the box so I can’t even return it.
Amanda G.
Baby girl is 3 months and seems to really like the weighted part and loves her arms up! Gave this product a 3 because is seems small for 3-6 months and my baby was a premie and is still in newborn size mostly just 8lbs but the swaddle fits small and I don't see her being able to fit in it until 6 months. Also after a few washes the navy blue material has faded already and I followed all washing instructions. I have had a maybe a month and it already looks very faded.
Kayla E.
Keeps our baby happy and settled until it’s time for a feed
Lori J.
I love the quality of the onesie, but it was just a bit too snugged on the stomach for my infant. So she was only able to wear it one time. The tightness was uncomfortable and her weight was within the weight class on the instructions. She is only one month old. Nevertheless; while I didn’t get a full experience it still seems worth an investment if fitting to the child.
Janna M.
We purchased this for our second baby and use it every night! It is easy to put on and he went from sleeping 3 hours to now sleeping 7-9 hours a night! Wish we had this 5 years ago with our first little one!
Leilani H.
Getting my daughter to sleep and to stay asleep in her own bassinet was hard as she is a huge contact sleeper. With this sleep sac, I’m able to get her to sleep in it and for a long time! She’s been sleeping 8-10 hours at night and it’s been the best! 10/10 would recommend to all moms, new and experienced!
Cassidy R.
This is my 3rd item I’ve purchased from Nested Bean and my 2nd of these. I bought the purple first then the sand color. If your baby has Startle reflex or difficulty sleeping on their own in a bassinet, try this!! Every time I would lay my daughter down to sleep in her bassinet for the first almost 2 months of life she would wake up within five minutes. Then she developed a startle reflex in her sleep, but this cured it.
Mandi B.
Our newborn sleeps so good in this! He hated having his arms down so this is perfect for him. Highly recommend!
Amy B.
I have used the sleep sacks with my other kiddos and this little guy loves his hands by his face so I figured we would try the zen one. He loves it and sleeps great. The only thing is that he is going to grow out of this size very quickly, he is 10 lbs now and I’m not sure he will make it to 13lbs before we have to get the larger size.
Sarah E.
I’m sure the product would’ve been great if it would’ve fit my baby. When I asked to exchange for a bigger size, they didn’t make it easy as I needed to fill out a form and print it (who has a printer at home now?) and then bring everything to a designated shipping store. Again, all fine to do if I didn’t have a newborn at home and had a printer!
On the plus side, I was able to gift it to my friend so no money wasted and her baby loves it!
Katt B.
Game changer! Before my purchase it took hours to get my daughter down. After my sister recommended this sleep sack with her raving review, I bought one & it has made getting her down to sleep each night SO much faster (under 20 min) and easier. The price deterred me a bit at first but it is 100000% worth the money.
Nylah R.
My 5 week old only wants to sleep on me at all times, so I purchased the zen one sack after reading that it’s perfect for contact nappers. Last night was the first time using it, she slept for 6 hours in her first stretch! She woke to feed and then went right back to sleep for another 4 hours! She was only sleeping in 3 hour stretches at most so this is already amazing and so worth the money! I can’t wait to try it again tonight, if it continues to work this well I will be buying many more!!
Katherine P.
My son is almost 4 months old and never slept past four hours. The first night with this swaddle was rough but night 2 he slept 8 hours then night 3 he slept 9 hours and napped all day in it!! It has been a life saver!
Christi S.
I had really high hopes for this swaddle/sleep sack but I was severely disappointed with it. The material and construction are high quality and the design and idea of the suit are great. But the sizing is way off. My 12lb, 23”, 2 1/2 month old was too big for the 3-6 month size despite him being well within the parameters for the measurements listed on the description. The suite barely zips with his arms swaddled by his sides but if I put them up in the wings his forearms are too long for the sleeves and his hands end up bent backwards at his wrists. The suit itself is already too short with his feet pressed against the end. There’s no way this suit would fit up to a 6 month old let along a standard sized 3 month old. Unfortunately this company doesn’t do full refunds on any product that was used even once so buyer beware. There really should be better measurements with the sizes so you know if your babe will fit before you buy. I wish there was a larger size.
Kassie R.
We absolutely love the Zen One for our 2 month old. The material is so soft and stretchy, easy to clean, and helps our babe feel secure and held all night. She sleeps for longer stretches and soothes back to sleep easily!
Haley M.
Fantastic design. This is all my baby will sleep in! Unzips from the bottom for easy diaper change and you don’t have to undo any Velcro. Weighted portions feel so nice. Material is soft.
Angela S.
We’ve used the Zen One swaddle with our last two babies and love it!! Feel like it makes a big difference with their sleeping!
Destiny B.
We love it so far, the only thing that didn't work out was that the selves were too tight so it doesn't help with the startle reflex ( maybe my baby has a little bit longer arms than average 3 mo old ) so we just use it with the sleeves off and it's really nice otherwise.
Katie A.
We love this swaddle. Our son was using the velcro swaddles with his arms over his chest because he did not like his arms down. Eventually the velcro got weaker and he would break out of the swaddle multiple times during naps and at night. We no longer have this problem, I wish I would have gotten this swaddle sooner and the newborn size as well! He sleeps so much better!
Kristina M.
Absolutely love this swaddle. We've used it for both of our kids now and it is a game changer! Highly recommend it!
Emma B.
We love our new sleep suit! I had a baby who loved the swaddle and this transition sleep suit really saved us from sleepless nights! It does a great job letting him get to his hands to self sooth but still keeps them snug enough that he doesn’t startle relax himself awake. I highly recommmend this to anyone transitioning from swaddling!
Bailey M.
I like the swaddle! My only issues with it. Is my babies arms seemed very squished in the arm things, so I ended up just taking them off and let his arms out. He seems to like it better that way. One other issue I have is the zipper goes up to high around face and neck, I have to tuck it in to get it out of the way. Other than those two things. It seems to be helping him sleep better for the most part!
Sara W.
Too tight! Size runs too small
Jackie D.
Absolutely LOVE!!! Started using this on my daughter when she was about 3 weeks old. She didn’t love being completely swaddled, but also startled herself too often with her arms completely unwrapped. The Zen One was the perfect solution to give her a little more room to move, while still keeping her feeling supported.
Allison W.
We love it!! Our baby didn’t really like his arms swaddles but loves the snug feeling. The first night I decided to try arms out and he had the best night of sleep of his little life!! He went 4 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour , which was a big difference from the every 30 min to an hour I was used to him waking. Half the night I was just awake waiting for him to wake up haha.
He loves it!! I tried so many swaddles before this one to the point my husband was questioning how many we need, but you only need one if it’s the right one!!
Sarah B.
We love this swaddle!
Kirsten B.
We’ve used nested bean sleep sacks since 2020 when my son was born. He loved it up until we couldn’t buy bigger sizes. My daughter, who is currently in the zen one sleep sack loves it and I like that there was an option to zip on or off the arms. She hated being swaddled and this was perfect!
Also, great customer service! One of the sleep sacks I ordered had a manufacturers defect and I was able to get a replacement within a week :)
Emily B.
Wasn't super impressed with the swaddle. It was really difficulty to "squeeze" her arms into and it mostly just upset her. It also is quite small for a 0-3 size. Our daughter is 6 weeks old and is already almost too big for the swaddle. It does not accommodate length well, as she is 23 inches long.
Jeniffer t.
Too small for my 2 month old and I was unable to return it. Couldn’t even try it
Vanessa W.
My son did not like any other swaddle, he would cry as soon as he was put down. The Nested Bean swaddle has been a LIFESAVER! its soft, easy to use, and my son loves it and has been sleeping so much better throughout the night! I highly recommend!
Carrie L.
My son loves this swaddle! He hates having his arms down and needs them up by his face to soothe him. We have gotten much better sleep!
Brianna h.
It's to small and it's supposed to go up to 13 lbs , my baby is only 7 and doesn't even fit newborn clothes yet, but this swaddle was to tight , I couldn't have his arms up or zip it
brooke b.
Our daughter sleeps immediately in this sack!
Rachel R.
Immediately improved my 3 month old son's sleep! He slept for 7 straight hours the first night in it.
Kayla P.
It tries it's hardest to keep my 3month old in, as I got the 3-6month he's still growing into it so it rides up to his neck. The material could use some work as I got a hole in the fabric big enough for his feet to come through, and thus happened in less than a month and had only been washed once.
Elizabeth R.
Love the zen one first use we got a 4 hour sleep stretch with a EBF baby. And now are getting 5-6 hour stretch.
Alphonse J.
Baby loves it! Wish I got it sooner
Gretta M.
Been a customer since my first child and I absolutely loved the sacks. However this one runs small. I tried exchanging by contacting customer service, they were fast but I was told I could not exchange it for the bigger size which is a huge bummer. Money to waste .
Tina B.
My grandson is 3 months old and sleeps so well these.
Casey R.
Did not work for our baby.
Ana H.
Did not make any positive difference for my baby’s sleep. I ended up going back to a regular swaddle with a blanket. Baby gets too hot even wearing only this and the neck is too high. Basically this made me lose more sleep because baby was so uncomfortable that she slept less. Wish I hadn’t bought two. Baby is now sleeping more just with a regular blanket swaddle. Waste of money and sleep time because it threw off her sleep for the 3 nights.
Nicole R.
When I first ordered the sleep sack I was so excited for more sleep, however it didn’t offer better sleep within the first few nights. It took more like a few weeks. Now that the sleep sack is part of the little man’s night time routine he knows it’s time to sleep when he’s put in it & he loves this sleeper. That fact that he can reach his hand when he wants to suck on it is great & he has now started sleeping through the night for about the last week and a half. I would definitely buy another one & recommended to a friend.
Kristina S.
Unfortunately, it doesn't help my baby sleep longer or fall asleep faster. I had originally bought one on Amazon 2 years ago for my 1st daughter and thought even if it didn't work back then every baby is different - fast forward to today and it still didn't work for baby #2.
Eunice M.
My baby is 2 months, the sleep sack fits her so small I also bought the 3/6 and that one fits her too big. Lengthwise the 0/3 sack is too short and the arms are extremely small, what I did was replace the arms from 3/6 and use the 0/3 although it’s been a week and she’s about to be too long
Jazmin f.
I try other brands, even a popular brand with weighted swaddles, but nothing like this one. I feel like every baby is different, with that being said. I just feel like this one is the one my baby like the most out of all of the other swaddles. The quality is super good, used it for 3 months already and still looks like new, that’s why I bought 2 more
Kristen H.
Love all these sleep sacks!
Madison S.
My boy was just beginning to transition out of being fully swaddled he sleeps so good in his sleep sack. Definitely will recommend to any parent that is looking for a new swaddle
Nuria D.
I’m disappointed that the item didn’t work better for my infant. It was too snug for my liking and she’s a really small baby. She broke out of the arm Velcro portion and woke up a few times. Overall, we didn’t see improvement in her sleep within the first week so we went back to our old swaddle method and she slept well.
Danielle S.
My baby has always wriggled her arms out of swaddles, so this has been wonderful and I wish I had gotten one sooner! I feel like the weighted beans help her sleep as well
Gabrielle R.
my baby was having trouble sleeping because of her startle reflex so I decided to buy this to give it a try and now we are both able to get better sleep and the baby is able to a sleep for a longer amount of time ! I definitely recommend these to everyone and will be buying more for my family’s/friends babies as well!
Brianna J.
This swaddle has been great for my 11 week old baby! She never wanted to sleep anywhere without being held until we got the Zen One. This is her zonked after only half of her feeding at night time.. she can’t hang! She’s out like a light and will be for at least 5-6 hours before waking. Before the Zen One, she would wake and cry when I put her in the bassinet. Not anymore! I wish I’d known about these with my oldest. Love it so much!
Skyler E.
I bought and tried so many swaddles before, and none of the swaddles worked for our son. He startles in his sleep and is the king of escaping.
This swaddle is the best. Our son is more relaxed and only fusses when it's time to eat.
The three-day guarantee is also true. If you decide to try, don't give up! Keep trying. You won't be disappointed.
I'm so happy we found this because we can finally rest.
-one well-rested momma
Abby G.
Great but runs narrow. My newborn will outgrow it soon even the 3-6 size.
Brittany C.
I love this sleep sack but I was disappointed that sizing up didn’t give more are room in the mesh arm parts.
Aubrey A.
It took some trial and error to figure out which she preferred, arms in, out, wings on or off, but we're figured out it. It also took longer than 3 nights, contrary to what the box says, before there was a change in her sleep. Would recommend starting baby off with this swaddle right out of the gate to get them accustomed to it.
Schyler E.
Our newborn loves this, she's been sleeping through the night every night. Secures her startle reflex but also gives her a little movement with her arms. It does run small, we bought the 3-6 month size for our 2 month old.
Kaity C.
It was too short for my 2 month old
Kirstin S.
Total game changer for our little dude. We quickly sized out of the 0-3 month and immediately ordered another so we could continue getting a good night's sleep!
Alexis S.
I originally bought the Zen One Classic from Target. After using it a couple times the seam below the zipper split. I was unsuccessful with Targets exchange experience so I reached out to Nested Bean about my problems I was having. Nested Bean went out of their way to send me a new Zen One Classic free of charge. This swaddle has worked wonders. I purchased it when we were going through the infamous 4 month sleep regression. The weighted beads on the chest and the wrap around the chest/belly are soothing to our baby. She has slept through the night with occasional wakings to eat. I am so happy I found this product and their customer service is exceptional.
Carlina A.
We have been using this for almost a month and it’s the best swaddle. Our first few weeks baby refused to sleep on her own and now we get a nice nights rest.
Avery E.
We love our new swaddle! Baby sleeps good in it and seems comfortable. Would definitely purchase again!
Diana M.
My baby hated to be swaddled since he came home, the first few nights were very hard. He especially hated that he couldn’t move his arms. When I found this swaddle I liked how the arms could bend up but he would still be wrapped so I decided to give it a try. He’s been using it for about a week and as soon as he is swaddled up he’s knocked out, and best of all, he stays asleep for 4+ hours throughout the night. Even though a bit pricey I will be purchasing another one. Please excuse the white spots, that is cornstarch we have been using for his neck and underarms.
Lauren L.
My favorite baby item we’ve purchased for our son. He didn’t like being traditionally swaddled but this one he seems to really enjoy and can self soothe with his little hands in the sleeve part. So glad I found this swaddle
Lauren O.
I’m sure it’s a great sleep sac. It just didn’t work for us. The arm holes with the zipped on netting were just too small and tight for my son. It left little makes on his hands because they were pressed against it. When it was zipped up it also was very close to my son’s mouth and covered his mouth up. So all around I just think it wasn’t the right fit for us. I like the weights and I think that does help babies fall asleep faster. There just wasn’t enough stretch and room for my son in it.
Nicole R.
It's OK but honestly nothing more then a regular sleep sack. It just has alottle pouch with beanbag material beads inside moreless. Didn't help my baby at all, wastes $40. Which is sad bc I had such high hopes for it.
Katie H.
My baby girl sleeps so much better in her zen swaddle. Being breastfed she was used to being held constantly and contact napping. Night time she woke up frequently because she wasn’t being held. I was given a nested bean swaddle that worked for naps but she didn’t like her arms being wrapped up. The zen one is perfect because the sides unzip so I can keep her arms out if needed.
Betsy J.
Love our nested bean when we used it before. Baby sister is coming again and we’re excited to use it again!
Angel W.
I bought this for my granddaughter. It has worked wonders for my daughter. It’s helped with her sleeping longer and more soundly. Great purchase for my granddaughter
Nicole M.
We love our nested bean! Our son sleeps at least 6 to 8 hours every night!
Jessica S.
He did great the first night but nap times wasn’t going well. I tried it for a few weeks and there wasn’t much change. He moves a lot and he actually almost got his hand through the neck opening. YIKES! Having his hands out isn’t a thing either. He moves a lot like I said and his arms jerk and he tends to wake himself up. He can hit himself sometimes in the face with his hand. As much as I wish this worked, it did not. But I’m glad it has helped others!
Mariah N.
Amazing purchase it helps my child remain sleep throughout the night.
Unable to find something to complain about.
Taylor T.
10/10 would recommend for every parent!!!
Rosina S.
Didn’t work for us
Andrea F.
The Velcro strap inside is great. Even if my baby breaks an arm out of there the arm is still contained enough that if they fall back to sleep it won’t wake them if they startle. My baby also likes to suck on their hand so the ability to leave an arm out so they can do that is great. I love that it’s ready to transition to arms fully out for when they roll. It’s so multi-purpose but effective at the different options which isn’t generally the case. Great design.
Irene G.
It’s the second swaddle I tried and so far has given my 4 week old boy the best sleeps. He always has his hands up to his face so this seemed perfect when I saw the ad. He falls asleep within minutes of putting it on! Definitely a keeper, worth every penny and plan to use the next size for when he’s bigger
Wyatt s.
Love this swaddle! It has helped her go longer stretches and to be able to self settle ! I am happy to be able to use this even when she starts rolling over!
