Frequently asked questions
-
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.
-
How can the Zen One™ be used in different ways?
The Zen One adapts to your baby’s unique sleep style at every stage. For newborns, a secure band holds arms down to prevent the startle reflex. For active sleepers, breathable mesh sleeves keep arms in but visible, so babies can self-soothe during sleep.
-
When should I transition my baby out of a swaddle?
Once your baby starts showing signs of rolling over, it's time to begin the transition from a swaddle to a sleep sack. The Zen One transforms into a sleep sack when you remove the zip-off mesh sleeves!
-
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.
Katie M.
I was so excited for the sleep sack, but I was sorely disappointed. The hand part where there is mesh fabric is NOT soft, it scratched our sons face. Left marks. I reached out to customer service they said I could return but had to pay for the return. WHAT?! Your item marked up my sons face. Very frustrated
Julianna A.
Our girl loves her new sleep sack. She’s sleeping for 1.5-2 hours more now than she was in her sleep sack from a different vendor.
Nicole C.
This product has been amazing. I have the sleep sack but for 6 months and I wanted to try it earlier and with my son loving his hands up this was perfect !!!! I brag about this to all my mom friends.
Deanna S.
Bought this hoping for a full nights sleep, however that didn’t happen. It’s a good swaddle, but my almost 5 month old still wakes almost every three hours
Emily K.
Love the weighed bean on front and the mesh in arms; my baby loves sucking on her hands so that’s a game changer!
Sierra S.
I did not work for my baby. She woke herself up with the zen one
Karen B.
These sleep sacks have been amazing for my twins! They started sleeping better the very first night!! We will definitely be ordering more of these as they grow. Customer service was also fantastic! I had a minor issue and they handled it immediately (emailed me back within minutes). I’m extremely impressed with not only this product, but this company as a whole.
Marisa S.
This has been an miracle worker! My son struggled with sleep so much, he hated being swaddled but his moro reflex was keeping him up all night! He instantly slept better in just one night and after 3 nights with it he is now sleeping through the night! He loves that he can self soothe with his hands and is so peaceful sleeping in it!
Kayla A.
Our twins love these! Once they started to duck their hands for comfort around 2 months old, we bought these and made the switch. They’re much better at self soothing and getting through sleep cycles now. Love the weighted aspect too since we usually help them fall asleep by putting our hand on their chest.
Andrea D.
My daughter refused to sleep unless she was next to me, within 4 days she was sleeping in her bassinet for 5-6 hours.
Stephanie D.
The Nested Bean Zen One changed our lives I am not even kidding! Our little man struggled for awhile to get comfortable when sleeping or napping, he was gassy, fussy, and his startle reflex was high. Regular swaddles where his arms were strapped down did not work at all, he hated them! I finally decided to try one more swaddle before giving up on a good nights sleep. The second I put it on him, i knew that there was hope. He didn’t scream, he was happy and settled down enough to sleep/rest peacefully! The nested bean zen one is my #1 favorite baby product we have purchased and I recommend it to everyone!! It is worth every penny
janae s.
I ordered this in hopes that it would help my baby sleep longer at night, because this momma is tired. She is 7 weeks old and now sleeps 5-6 hours before waking up to feed. My husband and I are so happy we ordered.
elle P.
I like it so far. We've only used it a few times since my son is between the 0-3 month size and the 3-6 month size and it doesn't fit him perfectly yet. It seems to keep him snug as a bug though and I really can't wait to try and transition him so he doesn't need to be swaddled anymore.
Carole C.
Got this for my grandson and he sleeps more soundly with it.
Alexandria C.
My daughter had so much trouble sleeping. This makes her alittle more content when put down. She wakes up happier instead of crying. Still trying to get her to stay sleeping sometimes but wearing this helps her to get rocked back to sleep easily!
Megan R.
I actually bought this as a gift for my sister's newest addition, but we had one for our daughter. This is a great option for those babies who are very "handsy" and just want to be able to have some self-soothing capabilities. Our daughter would wriggle and squirm when she was in the traditional swaddle and would often worm an arm out of a muslin wrap. This sack allows her to have her hands near her mouth, so she could self-soothe. Plus, as she grew, the sack could grow with her but allowing one (or both) hands out of the sack.
KayeLoni H.
My little love has to be swaddled in order to fall asleep so when she started breaking out of it our sleep was not so great. We have been sleeping in the Nestbean with our arms up for a week and half now. She is warm enough and lays down easier. Her sleep is sounder and less restless. As far as longer sleep stretches, she was already a good sleeper so I can't comment on that fact but I do love how restful her sleep is with the Nestbean. This week (week two of having the Nestbean) she started rolling over, so we transitioned to arms free sleeping and cannot believe how well it has gone - Again she lays down easy and has started to self sooth. I'm very happy with the results and will be buy more of the Nestbean products. :)
Victoria S.
Didn’t help with my son short sleeps but definitely helped with his startle reflex.
Danielle C.
I have friends who swear by these sleep sacks, and the quality is excellent. It just didn’t work for my son.
Lianna C.
This is a well-made swaddle/sleep sack. I like that you can swaddle arms in, up or completely out after zipping off the mesh. It's also nice to have a two way zipper. While the product is well made, it definitely didn't help my baby sleep any better so, I'm not sure I would purchase another product.
Veronica S.
My baby girl loves the Zen One! It’s great quality and fits her great. She transitioned from the Zen Swaddle to arms up in the Zen One flawlessly. She still sleeps like a rock but is better able to soothe herself with her hands being up near her face. We love it
Kathleen K.
Our little guy startles very easily and really resisted being traditionally swaddled.
He loves his Zen — he falls asleep while I’m zipping him up most of the time!
Kyu Ha L.
This runs really small. My baby’s only one and a half month and she’s already outgrowing the 3-6 months size. Fitted snugly when she was just one month. Other than that, great weighted sleepsack for babies with lots of movement during the sleep. My baby sleeps really well in this, wish they make a bigger size for Zen One Classic.
Dukesa C.
When I first purchased this, I was in disbelief. I was hoping I didn't waste just waste money on this product. I recieved the product put it in the wash, and come the first night my son slept in it for 6 hours. He would only sleep 2 to 3 hours at a time, before this. Of course I had to get up to check if he was alright, and he was. Sleeping like a baby. I believe this product brought our son, my husband, and myself so good zzz. This product is amazing.
Amanda F.
I don’t know how they set their weight limit. I bought this for my 14lb daughter and it barely fits around her arms and belly. There are still a couple inches of height for her to grow into, but with it so tight around the arms I don’t think I’ll be able to use more than a week! Too bad, because she really does fall asleep easier.
Devon J.
Literally the best thing we’ve purchased for her! It helps her sleep through the night and doesn’t make her overhear! We noticed very quickly how fast it calms her down as well!!
Megan S.
We love it! It’s so cute. I thought he’d like his arms in, but he hated it, so we zipped those off right away. I do believe he sleeps much better with it.
Casey P.
Used it last night for the first time and my baby slept for 8 hours straight, then woke up to take a bottle, and went back to sleep for 3.5 more hours. Love it!
Andee H.
After many sleepless nights we took the zen one swaddle for a test drive. Our almost 2 month old only got up once.
We now use the sleep sack with her arms free (in the little mesh “wings”) for naps during the day and swaddle her arms for nighttime sleep. It’s been such a game changer we just ordered the 3-6 month size. It’s totally worth the price because of the versatility (swaddle, arms contained, or arms out).
Katrina B.
I love this product but after the second wash there was a huge hole in the bottom. My little girl can almost stick her whole foot through.
Jillian B.
We initially purchased, used, and loved the Nested Bean Swaddle before purchasing the Zen Sack for our daughter. These products were truly the only way we got our little one to sleep. We were nervous transitioning her out of the swaddle, but she loves her new sleep sack and so do we! Now that she is starting to roll, we have unzipped the arms. It’s great how this product grows with her. We will certainly be purchasing future items from Nested Bean for ourselves and for friends who are also having babies.
Ceara G.
Absolutely LOVE this thing! My little guy sleeps so much better in it and I can't say enough about the customer service I've received! It has been amazing! I will be ordering more!
Leah S.
I love the band on the inside ! Keeps him nice and snug!
Kimberly E.
Tried this several nights in a row, unfortunately does not work wonders for my daughter. She also most sleeps worse in if. She acts frustrated when her arms are the sleeves. The sleeves could stand to be bigger and the placement of the zipper is not ideal. Who wants a zipper in their armpit?
Nicole S.
It's lovely but not long enough for my one month old to feel completely.
Megan H.
The swaddle part is a bit too constricting. When our daughter has her arms up, she has difficulty reaching her hands too, and we have found that her hands get very cold. Love the mesh sleeves, and the weight of the sack though. Will try again when she’s a bit older and is rolling.
Theresa Z.
It is so small!! I bought when my baby was 13 pounds and it was already very tight. Used during naps and it was okay but it felt too restrictive to use at night since it runs so small. The material is awesome and though and I love that it is diaper changing friendly.
Jared R.
Definitely helps with the babys sleep but the size is smaller than expected and with it being 3 to 6 months, we are lucky if we get one month of use out of it.
Calista P.
We got this for our 6 week old, who had a hard time sleeping because his arms would move and wake him up throughout the night. The first night he slept 5.5 hours, the second night he slept 6 hours and after that hes been sleeping between 6.5 to 7 hours every night. This has been a dream! I wish we knew about this product when our daughter was a baby. I recommend this product to every newborn parent out there. You will not be sorry.
Mara M.
My son was napping in 20-30 minute increments during the day. Literally the first time we used the swaddle, he napped for 1.5 hour. We noticed an IMMEDIATE difference. I have already told all my mom friends about this product because it helped so much!! 10/10 recommend.
Cydnie L.
Love it! Works great. Only issue is the mesh for the hands could be a little softer not a big deal though.
Maria .
Words can not explain how much this helps my little one sleep! Game changer for all! She’s only waking once at night from 4 week old on.
Hillary M.
At 7 weeks, I thought my baby was a good sleeper, only waking once around 4am for a feeding most nights but could be inconsistent. The problem was, we had him sleeping on a boppy in his bassinet. I wanted to get him sleeping without it but every time I tired it failed and I’d end up putting him back on it in the middle of the night. He didn’t do well with traditional swaddles. He likes his hands out so he can self soothe, but still has his startle reflex. He’s also an active sleeper, so he would move in the night. I saw these swaddles and liked that I could still restrain his arms but he could self soothe. After three nights, he started sleeping until 6am. After a week, he was sleeping until 7:30am. I put him to bed around 9:30p. I’m so happy I found these. I can’t believe I’m getting 8 hours of sleep with a newborn! A few tips: 1. Make sure to follow the size guide (pounds and height). My baby had a growth spurt at 8 weeks and outgrew the newborn size QUICK. 2. Give it a few nights. The first night, my baby slept til 5am. The next night he woke twice (unusual for him) but I realized he was going through a growth spurt and on top of that had a hard day at daycare. It wasn’t the swaddle. The third night, he was sleeping like a champ til 6am and has continued. 3. Buy at least two if you have a spit-uppy baby. I only bought one at first and ended up washing it almost everyday until I invested in two more. I’m so glad I found these. It has helped so much!
Meika R.
My babe sleeps better swaddled, but loves his hands up by his face. This swaddle has been perfect for him and has helped him sleep longer stretches at night! Plus it is SO soft!
Theresa M.
Amazing!! It did exactly as advertised. We went from a 3ish hour stretch to a 8-9 hour stretch in 3 nights. We have the zen sack but that didn't work as well as this one. I do have to say the sizes run small. Got the 3-6 mo and it is a bit snug. The material is soft and a bit stretchy. Will definitely next size up.
Allyson B.
I bought this product for my 4 month old who was starting to roll but insisted on being swaddled to sleep. We kept the arms attached the first two weeks but quickly removed them because our daughter was strong enough to stretch them down and pull the whole sleep sack past her shoulders. Since removing the arm part, it has been great. Still waking up once throughout the night but she is able to fall back asleep much quicker with the nested bean sleep sack on. Overall we are very pleased with the product and highly recommend using this product from the very start with a new baby.
Katelyn H.
My daughter is 8 weeks old. She’s been a great sleeper since night 1. However, we knew she could sleep even better if she were swaddled. But I have a magician infant that can work her way out of a Velcro swaddle in minutes because she hates having her hands down by her body when she sleeps. After tons of research, I chose the zen one. She loves being able to suck on her hand to soothe herself back to sleep and I love that the days of me putting my hand on her chest are long gone. I could rave about this thing for hours but the last thing I’ll compliment is the quality. The material is so soft and it’s made so well. So if you’re on the fence on buying it, just do it!
Laura H.
Love it
Rachele R.
I LOVE THIS SWADDLE! My 5 week old slept 8 hours through the night. It also made her less noisy when she sleeps.
Casey L.
I love it, I wouldn't say it has made a crazy difference yet, but it's definitely helping! I just wish it was longer! My son is only 10 weeks old and already reaching the bottom of the 3-6 month one.
Caitlin G.
My first child had success with the Nested Bean swaddle and sack but my second child did not like having her arms swaddled down by her sides. Without the Zen One she would wake up around 4 every morning. After 3 nights of wearing the Zen One, she is able to put herself back to sleep and I’m having to wake her up to feed in the morning! Love the Nested Bean products!
Mallory B.
Bought this when our son was 6 weeks old. Got the 0-3 month as he is the 30th percentile for size so I figured this would last us 6 weeks. He’s busting out of it at 8 weeks old :/ Besides running small, this sleep sack is great! He started sleeping better the first night we used it, and has progressed every night since! Haven’t decided if we will drop another $45 for the 3-6 month, but we know he’s not ready for no sleeves. He still has the startle reflex :/
Kendra K.
My 7 week old baby sleeps great in this swaddle, she wakes two or three times to eat and then goes right back asleep in her bassinet. She used to wake back up constantly after being put down but that hasn’t been a problem for a while now. I definitely plan to get the next size up when she grows out of this swaddle.
sarah h.
Most amazing sleep suit! Went from 3hr sleep stretches to 7hrs within just 2days of use.
Melahna H.
My 5 month old loves to have his arms up but he also loves the gently weighted swaddle!
Cheyenne B.
My baby absolutely loves this swaddle. I was so worried about transitioning him from his hospital swaddle but this swaddle is a game changer.
Ashley S.
The perfect transitional swaddle! My son absolutely loves it, and being able to reach his hands allows him to soothe himself back to sleep within minutes. Definitely a great baby shower gift idea!
Bryanna S.
My baby is an ACTIVE sleeper and uses her hands to comfort herself while sleeping. & this swaddle allows my babygirl to use her hands while still being swaddled in position. The material is very soft and the two zipper access is so convenient during the night time feedings :)
Danielle T.
We LOVE this swaddle. I needed an arms up swaddle to transition from a regular swaddle and it is working great!
Amelia T.
High quality made product. Fits our very husky 8 week old very well. Sadly it didn't not significantly improve his sleeping at night.
Jennie A.
Our baby LOVES this swaddle. She sleeps great at night and is now wearing it for naps and sleeping much better and longer!
Hannah C.
My 2 month old was breaking out of every swaddle we tried and waking himself up in the process. We tried the ZenOne and he loves it. He loves he can move his arms but is secure enough to not wake himself up.
Tara K.
Arm holes seem a little too small!!!
Stephanie D.
My little one loves it. She’s two months so I got the 3-6 no sack thinking we’d have it for a while but it’s already short and tight when I swaddle her arms down beside her and zip it up. May have to move to a bigger size soon. She does sleep so peacefully in it!
Narges M.
It's a good design. I feel like the hand area is a bit small for my daughter and it would leave indentations on her arm when she wore it over night. I think it needs to be a bit bigger. She's only 3.5 months and average weight and still it's too tight.
Eliza C.
Definitely helped my 3 month old start sleeping through the night! We especially love the mesh sleeves: She can still get to her hands but the sleeves keep her from startling herself awake.
Brianna R.
My 3 month old loves that she can still move her arms around close to her face, but not be woken up from her startle reflux. She’s sleeping straight through the night restfully. Love nested bean!
Sarah H.
Zipper pulls apart if baby struggles enough
shannon p.
We have REALLY loved our nested bean! I wish I would have bought two
Ashlee F.
I have to say, I didn't think this would work. I was really skeptical, but also really tired. My son would wake up every hour and a half and when he was sleeping he was completely restless. He is almost 3 months old, and we have been using the zen one for a few weeks now. This thing is amazing. Now it wasn't instant magic, it took him about a week to really adjust to it. But even that first night we started seeing a difference. Now that we have a nice little routine established we get up maybe once, and have a good 5 to 6 hr blocks of silence, he just passes right out. This thing really helped my little wiggle worm ( and his exhausted mama) get some sleep.
Hannah S.
Great idea
Taylor N.
Bought this for my daughter when she was 2 weeks old. Before using the Zen One she would cry every time we put her down to sleep in her bassinet. Since we started using the Zen One, she falls asleep much easier and no longer cries when she is put down to sleep in her bassinet! Have already recommended the nested bean products to two friends!
Heather F.
It’s made nice, but not a lot of wiggle room in the legs so my baby isn’t a big fan. I think she gets too hot
Olivia S.
The nested bean swaddle changed the game for our LO’s sleep - there was no question we’d go for the transition sleep sack after he outgrew it.
Emily J.
First, I have to give 5 STARS to Nested Bean’s customer service! I noticed a small hole in my Zen One classic where the fabric had come out from the seam. I emailed them to ask how I could go about exchanging it, and within literally 5 minutes, my email was answered by a Real person and after verifying a few details, they ordered a new product free of charge that shipped out to me that day (it arrives with one 4-5 days). It was the most Stress Free experience I think I’ve ever had with anything I’ve purchased online! EVER!
The product itself is very versatile and does help our 4 month old sleep longer! She isn’t quite sleeping through the night yet but I definitely think this sleep sack helps! I love that there is an option to swaddle with arms down or up by the head (still helping with the startle reflex but giving more freedom and the option to self smooth) and even an option for arms free sleeping!
I gave 4 stars because my baby is still waking up several times, the swaddle doesn’t keep her asleep through the whole night, but I think it does help her fall asleep faster. It also comes up pretty high on her neck when using the inside saddle feature and it looks like it might be a little bit irritating to her.
Over all, a really great product! Would definitely recommend it!
Allison A.
The Nested Bean Zen One sleep sack has helped our little one sleep all through the night - 12 hours - at 2 months old! It's been about 3 weeks, and I still can't believe it's worked so well. It has changed our lives!
Emily C.
Very well made, and the nested bean seems to give my little one extra comfort at night, just as advertised!! Highly recommend!
Hay K.
My son went from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping 4-5 hours! Would definitely recommend to any parent looking to improve their newborn's sleep.
Aubrey G.
This has been the perfect transition item for my baby! We would be lost without it!
Savana G.
Absolutely love this swaddle. It’s so soft and helps keep my baby sleeping longer. We had a small tear in the seam and they replaced it so fast. Wonderful product and wonderful customer service!!
Victoria W.
Love this! I didn’t believe that she would sleep all night in 1-3 days like the reviews say but OMG she slept from 7:30pm-6:30am!!! She is almost three months and was sleeping in a swaddle. That swaddle was so bad she would get her arms out and wake up every 3-4 hrs. And now she sleeps all night! This mommy needed that!
Brendan L.
I got the Zen One sleep sack when my son was 2 months old. I wish I got it sooner. He is now almost 3 months old and sleeps a 6 hour stretch and 4 hour stretch at night. I definitely think he sleeps well because of his sleep sack! Well worth the price!
Sarah T.
The first night our 8 week old sleeve 8 hours straight! I woke up nervous that something was wrong but there he was sleeping soundly! It’s been so great and helped as he’s gotten a little older because he’s able to suck and feel his hands and started ri self sooth.
Carrie N.
It’s not working yet. But we have had a lot of changes in the last few weeks. We started our Zen 1 sack the night before I started back to work and she started to a babysitter. It’s been 3 weeks and since then we have moved and had daylight savings. Our poor girl is suddenly waking screaming once an hour and needs rocked back to sleep. She never did this before.
She is getting plenty to eat, she is 13 weeks taking in greater than 30oz daily. And feeding twice over night.
We don’t know what to do and are hoping she will adjust to all these changes and sleep will magically happen (for all of us).
Mackenzie k.
My newborn sleeps for 6-7 hours straight at night when he wears this! Without it he only sleeps for 3-4 hours straight.
Ashlee M.
Can’t wait to see how my little transitions with this swaddle. So far so great :)
Lacey F.
Love! My little one hated the traditional swaddle from day one. She would constantly fight it until she broke out of it. We tried several different ones, we even bought the kind that she couldn’t break of it but that didn’t stop her from constantly trying. She would grunt, strain, and fight all night long. Then one day I came across this one and it dawned on me, she always wants her hands up by her head so that’s why she fights to break out of her swaddle! So I knew as soon as I saw this one that it was going to work! So we ordered this one and it has worked wonders! She has reflux and this has even helped her reflux because she’s no longer straining or fighting to break out! We are getting ready to order the next size up!
Rachel L.
My son had a hard time sleeping on his back. He just didn’t look comfortable and he constantly moved around. So he slept In his rock and play which is a no no but that’s all he’d sleep in. Ordered this and he sleeps 7-8 hours straight in his bassinet!!! Talk about a life savor!!
Ketra R.
We purchased the sleep sack when my son was 3 months old. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. From night one on he has slept anywhere from 6-9 hours!
Amy D.
This sleep sack has been wonderful for my baby because he’s always dying to have his arms up. I think he sleeps much better and is less angry when he wakes up because he’s a little more free now instead of having his arms pinned down. This is also super nice because when he starts to roll over, this transitions to being sleeveless and then I don’t have to buy another one. The only finicky thing is that when he raises his arms up high, the neck line pulls up over his mouth. I got nervous that it would cover his mouth at night so I just folded it down and pinned it so it doesn’t do that. Simple fix. If your baby is struggling with having his/her arms down, try this out!
Jacki R.
Great sleeping sac for our little preemie! He loves having his arms free when sleeping, but it’s great to have the option to have his arms in when he feeds.
Beverly S.
My daughter wouldn’t sleep during the night at all. I was desperate to get just a few more hours of sleep at night. I had seen this, but was extremely reluctant. When she was about 2 months old I couldn’t take it anymore and broke down and ordered one. Boy was that one of the best decisions I ever made. Almost immediately my daughter started to one wake up once during the night instead of keeping my up all night long. After about a week we had our first full night sleep. From 9pm- 6am. Now about a month in she sleeps one long 7-9 hour stretch and then will go back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. This thing is one of the best things to happen to us. I just ordered the 3-6 month size as she is almost ready to go into that size. There are some nights where she wakes up more often, but nothing compared to what it used to be! If you are reluctant and not sure if this works I and telling you it does!

I love how easy it is to put my child in the zen classic. He likes to sleep with his arms up but has quite the startle reflex. This is the perfect solution for him. When he was swaddled with arms down instead of helping him through each startle, it would irritate him each time that reflex occurred. Now with the zen classic when he startles, he no longer can claw at his face, yet isn’t annoyed that he’s not fully free. It’s the perfect middle ground. I do think the weighted pads on the chest and sides do help with the transfer out of sleeping in arms so makes putting him down to sleep easier.
Josh H.
My little guy loves his new swaddle! Nested bean has the best customer service and the products are great. We have the newborn one and will definitely purchasing another when he put grows this one!
Bridget P.
This definitely helped my 6 week old sleep longer stretches at night. He is active sleeper and at times was trying so hard to get his arms out of swaddle, but also not ready to have his arms totally out. We start the night fully swaddled, then after first feeding, he usually wants to be switched to his arms up by face. I love that it has both options interchangeably!! It definitely helps him self soothe a bit too when he wakes after feeding. Would definitely recommend. Great quality and super soft!!
Nora H.
The quality and durability is great. However it didn’t help my fussy sleeper or lengthen his sleep time. Wish me luck.
Gabriela P.
I got it for my daughter to help her sleep longer but she truly sleeps about the same and she slept almost through the night, maybe I’ll see more of a change later on.
Melanie B.
Love this sleep sack! Has the option to swaddle arms down but my baby loves his arms up and the little “wings” keep him from scratching himself or startling awake. Also helps keep his hands out of the way with feeds at night. And the 2 way zips are the best for diaper changes in the dark. Highly recommend.
Kristina M.
While I love that the zen has two zippers to make changing a diaper easy, I have not experienced any change to my daughter’s sleep. The added weight has not made a difference for her.
Crystal M.
My son has slept 9-11 hours every since we bought this swaddle a month ago. And he will be 4 months this week. He loves one arm out and one arm up. He hated being traditionally swaddled. This is the perfect middle ground and we have two!
Katie M.
I was so excited for the sleep sack, but I was sorely disappointed. The hand part where there is mesh fabric is NOT soft, it scratched our sons face. Left marks. I reached out to customer service they said I could return but had to pay for the return. WHAT?! Your item marked up my sons face. Very frustrated
Julianna A.
Our girl loves her new sleep sack. She’s sleeping for 1.5-2 hours more now than she was in her sleep sack from a different vendor.
Nicole C.
This product has been amazing. I have the sleep sack but for 6 months and I wanted to try it earlier and with my son loving his hands up this was perfect !!!! I brag about this to all my mom friends.
Deanna S.
Bought this hoping for a full nights sleep, however that didn’t happen. It’s a good swaddle, but my almost 5 month old still wakes almost every three hours
Emily K.
Love the weighed bean on front and the mesh in arms; my baby loves sucking on her hands so that’s a game changer!
Sierra S.
I did not work for my baby. She woke herself up with the zen one
Karen B.
These sleep sacks have been amazing for my twins! They started sleeping better the very first night!! We will definitely be ordering more of these as they grow. Customer service was also fantastic! I had a minor issue and they handled it immediately (emailed me back within minutes). I’m extremely impressed with not only this product, but this company as a whole.
Marisa S.
This has been an miracle worker! My son struggled with sleep so much, he hated being swaddled but his moro reflex was keeping him up all night! He instantly slept better in just one night and after 3 nights with it he is now sleeping through the night! He loves that he can self soothe with his hands and is so peaceful sleeping in it!
Kayla A.
Our twins love these! Once they started to duck their hands for comfort around 2 months old, we bought these and made the switch. They’re much better at self soothing and getting through sleep cycles now. Love the weighted aspect too since we usually help them fall asleep by putting our hand on their chest.
Andrea D.
My daughter refused to sleep unless she was next to me, within 4 days she was sleeping in her bassinet for 5-6 hours.
Stephanie D.
The Nested Bean Zen One changed our lives I am not even kidding! Our little man struggled for awhile to get comfortable when sleeping or napping, he was gassy, fussy, and his startle reflex was high. Regular swaddles where his arms were strapped down did not work at all, he hated them! I finally decided to try one more swaddle before giving up on a good nights sleep. The second I put it on him, i knew that there was hope. He didn’t scream, he was happy and settled down enough to sleep/rest peacefully! The nested bean zen one is my #1 favorite baby product we have purchased and I recommend it to everyone!! It is worth every penny
janae s.
I ordered this in hopes that it would help my baby sleep longer at night, because this momma is tired. She is 7 weeks old and now sleeps 5-6 hours before waking up to feed. My husband and I are so happy we ordered.
elle P.
I like it so far. We've only used it a few times since my son is between the 0-3 month size and the 3-6 month size and it doesn't fit him perfectly yet. It seems to keep him snug as a bug though and I really can't wait to try and transition him so he doesn't need to be swaddled anymore.
Carole C.
Got this for my grandson and he sleeps more soundly with it.
Alexandria C.
My daughter had so much trouble sleeping. This makes her alittle more content when put down. She wakes up happier instead of crying. Still trying to get her to stay sleeping sometimes but wearing this helps her to get rocked back to sleep easily!
Megan R.
I actually bought this as a gift for my sister's newest addition, but we had one for our daughter. This is a great option for those babies who are very "handsy" and just want to be able to have some self-soothing capabilities. Our daughter would wriggle and squirm when she was in the traditional swaddle and would often worm an arm out of a muslin wrap. This sack allows her to have her hands near her mouth, so she could self-soothe. Plus, as she grew, the sack could grow with her but allowing one (or both) hands out of the sack.
KayeLoni H.
My little love has to be swaddled in order to fall asleep so when she started breaking out of it our sleep was not so great. We have been sleeping in the Nestbean with our arms up for a week and half now. She is warm enough and lays down easier. Her sleep is sounder and less restless. As far as longer sleep stretches, she was already a good sleeper so I can't comment on that fact but I do love how restful her sleep is with the Nestbean. This week (week two of having the Nestbean) she started rolling over, so we transitioned to arms free sleeping and cannot believe how well it has gone - Again she lays down easy and has started to self sooth. I'm very happy with the results and will be buy more of the Nestbean products. :)
Victoria S.
Didn’t help with my son short sleeps but definitely helped with his startle reflex.
Danielle C.
I have friends who swear by these sleep sacks, and the quality is excellent. It just didn’t work for my son.
Lianna C.
This is a well-made swaddle/sleep sack. I like that you can swaddle arms in, up or completely out after zipping off the mesh. It's also nice to have a two way zipper. While the product is well made, it definitely didn't help my baby sleep any better so, I'm not sure I would purchase another product.
Veronica S.
My baby girl loves the Zen One! It’s great quality and fits her great. She transitioned from the Zen Swaddle to arms up in the Zen One flawlessly. She still sleeps like a rock but is better able to soothe herself with her hands being up near her face. We love it
Kathleen K.
Our little guy startles very easily and really resisted being traditionally swaddled.
He loves his Zen — he falls asleep while I’m zipping him up most of the time!
Kyu Ha L.
This runs really small. My baby’s only one and a half month and she’s already outgrowing the 3-6 months size. Fitted snugly when she was just one month. Other than that, great weighted sleepsack for babies with lots of movement during the sleep. My baby sleeps really well in this, wish they make a bigger size for Zen One Classic.
Dukesa C.
When I first purchased this, I was in disbelief. I was hoping I didn't waste just waste money on this product. I recieved the product put it in the wash, and come the first night my son slept in it for 6 hours. He would only sleep 2 to 3 hours at a time, before this. Of course I had to get up to check if he was alright, and he was. Sleeping like a baby. I believe this product brought our son, my husband, and myself so good zzz. This product is amazing.
Amanda F.
I don’t know how they set their weight limit. I bought this for my 14lb daughter and it barely fits around her arms and belly. There are still a couple inches of height for her to grow into, but with it so tight around the arms I don’t think I’ll be able to use more than a week! Too bad, because she really does fall asleep easier.
Devon J.
Literally the best thing we’ve purchased for her! It helps her sleep through the night and doesn’t make her overhear! We noticed very quickly how fast it calms her down as well!!
Megan S.
We love it! It’s so cute. I thought he’d like his arms in, but he hated it, so we zipped those off right away. I do believe he sleeps much better with it.
Casey P.
Used it last night for the first time and my baby slept for 8 hours straight, then woke up to take a bottle, and went back to sleep for 3.5 more hours. Love it!
Andee H.
After many sleepless nights we took the zen one swaddle for a test drive. Our almost 2 month old only got up once.
We now use the sleep sack with her arms free (in the little mesh “wings”) for naps during the day and swaddle her arms for nighttime sleep. It’s been such a game changer we just ordered the 3-6 month size. It’s totally worth the price because of the versatility (swaddle, arms contained, or arms out).
Katrina B.
I love this product but after the second wash there was a huge hole in the bottom. My little girl can almost stick her whole foot through.
Jillian B.
We initially purchased, used, and loved the Nested Bean Swaddle before purchasing the Zen Sack for our daughter. These products were truly the only way we got our little one to sleep. We were nervous transitioning her out of the swaddle, but she loves her new sleep sack and so do we! Now that she is starting to roll, we have unzipped the arms. It’s great how this product grows with her. We will certainly be purchasing future items from Nested Bean for ourselves and for friends who are also having babies.
Ceara G.
Absolutely LOVE this thing! My little guy sleeps so much better in it and I can't say enough about the customer service I've received! It has been amazing! I will be ordering more!
Leah S.
I love the band on the inside ! Keeps him nice and snug!
Kimberly E.
Tried this several nights in a row, unfortunately does not work wonders for my daughter. She also most sleeps worse in if. She acts frustrated when her arms are the sleeves. The sleeves could stand to be bigger and the placement of the zipper is not ideal. Who wants a zipper in their armpit?
Nicole S.
It's lovely but not long enough for my one month old to feel completely.
Megan H.
The swaddle part is a bit too constricting. When our daughter has her arms up, she has difficulty reaching her hands too, and we have found that her hands get very cold. Love the mesh sleeves, and the weight of the sack though. Will try again when she’s a bit older and is rolling.
Theresa Z.
It is so small!! I bought when my baby was 13 pounds and it was already very tight. Used during naps and it was okay but it felt too restrictive to use at night since it runs so small. The material is awesome and though and I love that it is diaper changing friendly.
Jared R.
Definitely helps with the babys sleep but the size is smaller than expected and with it being 3 to 6 months, we are lucky if we get one month of use out of it.
Calista P.
We got this for our 6 week old, who had a hard time sleeping because his arms would move and wake him up throughout the night. The first night he slept 5.5 hours, the second night he slept 6 hours and after that hes been sleeping between 6.5 to 7 hours every night. This has been a dream! I wish we knew about this product when our daughter was a baby. I recommend this product to every newborn parent out there. You will not be sorry.
Mara M.
My son was napping in 20-30 minute increments during the day. Literally the first time we used the swaddle, he napped for 1.5 hour. We noticed an IMMEDIATE difference. I have already told all my mom friends about this product because it helped so much!! 10/10 recommend.
Cydnie L.
Love it! Works great. Only issue is the mesh for the hands could be a little softer not a big deal though.
Maria .
Words can not explain how much this helps my little one sleep! Game changer for all! She’s only waking once at night from 4 week old on.
Hillary M.
At 7 weeks, I thought my baby was a good sleeper, only waking once around 4am for a feeding most nights but could be inconsistent. The problem was, we had him sleeping on a boppy in his bassinet. I wanted to get him sleeping without it but every time I tired it failed and I’d end up putting him back on it in the middle of the night. He didn’t do well with traditional swaddles. He likes his hands out so he can self soothe, but still has his startle reflex. He’s also an active sleeper, so he would move in the night. I saw these swaddles and liked that I could still restrain his arms but he could self soothe. After three nights, he started sleeping until 6am. After a week, he was sleeping until 7:30am. I put him to bed around 9:30p. I’m so happy I found these. I can’t believe I’m getting 8 hours of sleep with a newborn! A few tips: 1. Make sure to follow the size guide (pounds and height). My baby had a growth spurt at 8 weeks and outgrew the newborn size QUICK. 2. Give it a few nights. The first night, my baby slept til 5am. The next night he woke twice (unusual for him) but I realized he was going through a growth spurt and on top of that had a hard day at daycare. It wasn’t the swaddle. The third night, he was sleeping like a champ til 6am and has continued. 3. Buy at least two if you have a spit-uppy baby. I only bought one at first and ended up washing it almost everyday until I invested in two more. I’m so glad I found these. It has helped so much!
Meika R.
My babe sleeps better swaddled, but loves his hands up by his face. This swaddle has been perfect for him and has helped him sleep longer stretches at night! Plus it is SO soft!
Theresa M.
Amazing!! It did exactly as advertised. We went from a 3ish hour stretch to a 8-9 hour stretch in 3 nights. We have the zen sack but that didn't work as well as this one. I do have to say the sizes run small. Got the 3-6 mo and it is a bit snug. The material is soft and a bit stretchy. Will definitely next size up.
Allyson B.
I bought this product for my 4 month old who was starting to roll but insisted on being swaddled to sleep. We kept the arms attached the first two weeks but quickly removed them because our daughter was strong enough to stretch them down and pull the whole sleep sack past her shoulders. Since removing the arm part, it has been great. Still waking up once throughout the night but she is able to fall back asleep much quicker with the nested bean sleep sack on. Overall we are very pleased with the product and highly recommend using this product from the very start with a new baby.
Katelyn H.
My daughter is 8 weeks old. She’s been a great sleeper since night 1. However, we knew she could sleep even better if she were swaddled. But I have a magician infant that can work her way out of a Velcro swaddle in minutes because she hates having her hands down by her body when she sleeps. After tons of research, I chose the zen one. She loves being able to suck on her hand to soothe herself back to sleep and I love that the days of me putting my hand on her chest are long gone. I could rave about this thing for hours but the last thing I’ll compliment is the quality. The material is so soft and it’s made so well. So if you’re on the fence on buying it, just do it!
Laura H.
Love it
Rachele R.
I LOVE THIS SWADDLE! My 5 week old slept 8 hours through the night. It also made her less noisy when she sleeps.
Casey L.
I love it, I wouldn't say it has made a crazy difference yet, but it's definitely helping! I just wish it was longer! My son is only 10 weeks old and already reaching the bottom of the 3-6 month one.
Caitlin G.
My first child had success with the Nested Bean swaddle and sack but my second child did not like having her arms swaddled down by her sides. Without the Zen One she would wake up around 4 every morning. After 3 nights of wearing the Zen One, she is able to put herself back to sleep and I’m having to wake her up to feed in the morning! Love the Nested Bean products!
Mallory B.
Bought this when our son was 6 weeks old. Got the 0-3 month as he is the 30th percentile for size so I figured this would last us 6 weeks. He’s busting out of it at 8 weeks old :/ Besides running small, this sleep sack is great! He started sleeping better the first night we used it, and has progressed every night since! Haven’t decided if we will drop another $45 for the 3-6 month, but we know he’s not ready for no sleeves. He still has the startle reflex :/
Kendra K.
My 7 week old baby sleeps great in this swaddle, she wakes two or three times to eat and then goes right back asleep in her bassinet. She used to wake back up constantly after being put down but that hasn’t been a problem for a while now. I definitely plan to get the next size up when she grows out of this swaddle.
sarah h.
Most amazing sleep suit! Went from 3hr sleep stretches to 7hrs within just 2days of use.
Melahna H.
My 5 month old loves to have his arms up but he also loves the gently weighted swaddle!
Cheyenne B.
My baby absolutely loves this swaddle. I was so worried about transitioning him from his hospital swaddle but this swaddle is a game changer.
Ashley S.
The perfect transitional swaddle! My son absolutely loves it, and being able to reach his hands allows him to soothe himself back to sleep within minutes. Definitely a great baby shower gift idea!
Bryanna S.
My baby is an ACTIVE sleeper and uses her hands to comfort herself while sleeping. & this swaddle allows my babygirl to use her hands while still being swaddled in position. The material is very soft and the two zipper access is so convenient during the night time feedings :)
Danielle T.
We LOVE this swaddle. I needed an arms up swaddle to transition from a regular swaddle and it is working great!
Amelia T.
High quality made product. Fits our very husky 8 week old very well. Sadly it didn't not significantly improve his sleeping at night.
Jennie A.
Our baby LOVES this swaddle. She sleeps great at night and is now wearing it for naps and sleeping much better and longer!
Hannah C.
My 2 month old was breaking out of every swaddle we tried and waking himself up in the process. We tried the ZenOne and he loves it. He loves he can move his arms but is secure enough to not wake himself up.
Tara K.
Arm holes seem a little too small!!!
Stephanie D.
My little one loves it. She’s two months so I got the 3-6 no sack thinking we’d have it for a while but it’s already short and tight when I swaddle her arms down beside her and zip it up. May have to move to a bigger size soon. She does sleep so peacefully in it!
Narges M.
It's a good design. I feel like the hand area is a bit small for my daughter and it would leave indentations on her arm when she wore it over night. I think it needs to be a bit bigger. She's only 3.5 months and average weight and still it's too tight.
Eliza C.
Definitely helped my 3 month old start sleeping through the night! We especially love the mesh sleeves: She can still get to her hands but the sleeves keep her from startling herself awake.
Brianna R.
My 3 month old loves that she can still move her arms around close to her face, but not be woken up from her startle reflux. She’s sleeping straight through the night restfully. Love nested bean!
Sarah H.
Zipper pulls apart if baby struggles enough
shannon p.
We have REALLY loved our nested bean! I wish I would have bought two
Ashlee F.
I have to say, I didn't think this would work. I was really skeptical, but also really tired. My son would wake up every hour and a half and when he was sleeping he was completely restless. He is almost 3 months old, and we have been using the zen one for a few weeks now. This thing is amazing. Now it wasn't instant magic, it took him about a week to really adjust to it. But even that first night we started seeing a difference. Now that we have a nice little routine established we get up maybe once, and have a good 5 to 6 hr blocks of silence, he just passes right out. This thing really helped my little wiggle worm ( and his exhausted mama) get some sleep.
Hannah S.
Great idea
Taylor N.
Bought this for my daughter when she was 2 weeks old. Before using the Zen One she would cry every time we put her down to sleep in her bassinet. Since we started using the Zen One, she falls asleep much easier and no longer cries when she is put down to sleep in her bassinet! Have already recommended the nested bean products to two friends!
Heather F.
It’s made nice, but not a lot of wiggle room in the legs so my baby isn’t a big fan. I think she gets too hot
Olivia S.
The nested bean swaddle changed the game for our LO’s sleep - there was no question we’d go for the transition sleep sack after he outgrew it.
Emily J.
First, I have to give 5 STARS to Nested Bean’s customer service! I noticed a small hole in my Zen One classic where the fabric had come out from the seam. I emailed them to ask how I could go about exchanging it, and within literally 5 minutes, my email was answered by a Real person and after verifying a few details, they ordered a new product free of charge that shipped out to me that day (it arrives with one 4-5 days). It was the most Stress Free experience I think I’ve ever had with anything I’ve purchased online! EVER!
The product itself is very versatile and does help our 4 month old sleep longer! She isn’t quite sleeping through the night yet but I definitely think this sleep sack helps! I love that there is an option to swaddle with arms down or up by the head (still helping with the startle reflex but giving more freedom and the option to self smooth) and even an option for arms free sleeping!
I gave 4 stars because my baby is still waking up several times, the swaddle doesn’t keep her asleep through the whole night, but I think it does help her fall asleep faster. It also comes up pretty high on her neck when using the inside saddle feature and it looks like it might be a little bit irritating to her.
Over all, a really great product! Would definitely recommend it!
Allison A.
The Nested Bean Zen One sleep sack has helped our little one sleep all through the night - 12 hours - at 2 months old! It's been about 3 weeks, and I still can't believe it's worked so well. It has changed our lives!
Emily C.
Very well made, and the nested bean seems to give my little one extra comfort at night, just as advertised!! Highly recommend!
Hay K.
My son went from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping 4-5 hours! Would definitely recommend to any parent looking to improve their newborn's sleep.
Aubrey G.
This has been the perfect transition item for my baby! We would be lost without it!
Savana G.
Absolutely love this swaddle. It’s so soft and helps keep my baby sleeping longer. We had a small tear in the seam and they replaced it so fast. Wonderful product and wonderful customer service!!
Victoria W.
Love this! I didn’t believe that she would sleep all night in 1-3 days like the reviews say but OMG she slept from 7:30pm-6:30am!!! She is almost three months and was sleeping in a swaddle. That swaddle was so bad she would get her arms out and wake up every 3-4 hrs. And now she sleeps all night! This mommy needed that!
Brendan L.
I got the Zen One sleep sack when my son was 2 months old. I wish I got it sooner. He is now almost 3 months old and sleeps a 6 hour stretch and 4 hour stretch at night. I definitely think he sleeps well because of his sleep sack! Well worth the price!
Sarah T.
The first night our 8 week old sleeve 8 hours straight! I woke up nervous that something was wrong but there he was sleeping soundly! It’s been so great and helped as he’s gotten a little older because he’s able to suck and feel his hands and started ri self sooth.
Carrie N.
It’s not working yet. But we have had a lot of changes in the last few weeks. We started our Zen 1 sack the night before I started back to work and she started to a babysitter. It’s been 3 weeks and since then we have moved and had daylight savings. Our poor girl is suddenly waking screaming once an hour and needs rocked back to sleep. She never did this before.
She is getting plenty to eat, she is 13 weeks taking in greater than 30oz daily. And feeding twice over night.
We don’t know what to do and are hoping she will adjust to all these changes and sleep will magically happen (for all of us).
Mackenzie k.
My newborn sleeps for 6-7 hours straight at night when he wears this! Without it he only sleeps for 3-4 hours straight.
Ashlee M.
Can’t wait to see how my little transitions with this swaddle. So far so great :)
Lacey F.
Love! My little one hated the traditional swaddle from day one. She would constantly fight it until she broke out of it. We tried several different ones, we even bought the kind that she couldn’t break of it but that didn’t stop her from constantly trying. She would grunt, strain, and fight all night long. Then one day I came across this one and it dawned on me, she always wants her hands up by her head so that’s why she fights to break out of her swaddle! So I knew as soon as I saw this one that it was going to work! So we ordered this one and it has worked wonders! She has reflux and this has even helped her reflux because she’s no longer straining or fighting to break out! We are getting ready to order the next size up!
Rachel L.
My son had a hard time sleeping on his back. He just didn’t look comfortable and he constantly moved around. So he slept In his rock and play which is a no no but that’s all he’d sleep in. Ordered this and he sleeps 7-8 hours straight in his bassinet!!! Talk about a life savor!!
Ketra R.
We purchased the sleep sack when my son was 3 months old. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner. From night one on he has slept anywhere from 6-9 hours!
Amy D.
This sleep sack has been wonderful for my baby because he’s always dying to have his arms up. I think he sleeps much better and is less angry when he wakes up because he’s a little more free now instead of having his arms pinned down. This is also super nice because when he starts to roll over, this transitions to being sleeveless and then I don’t have to buy another one. The only finicky thing is that when he raises his arms up high, the neck line pulls up over his mouth. I got nervous that it would cover his mouth at night so I just folded it down and pinned it so it doesn’t do that. Simple fix. If your baby is struggling with having his/her arms down, try this out!
Jacki R.
Great sleeping sac for our little preemie! He loves having his arms free when sleeping, but it’s great to have the option to have his arms in when he feeds.
Beverly S.
My daughter wouldn’t sleep during the night at all. I was desperate to get just a few more hours of sleep at night. I had seen this, but was extremely reluctant. When she was about 2 months old I couldn’t take it anymore and broke down and ordered one. Boy was that one of the best decisions I ever made. Almost immediately my daughter started to one wake up once during the night instead of keeping my up all night long. After about a week we had our first full night sleep. From 9pm- 6am. Now about a month in she sleeps one long 7-9 hour stretch and then will go back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. This thing is one of the best things to happen to us. I just ordered the 3-6 month size as she is almost ready to go into that size. There are some nights where she wakes up more often, but nothing compared to what it used to be! If you are reluctant and not sure if this works I and telling you it does!
Anna R.
I love how easy it is to put my child in the zen classic. He likes to sleep with his arms up but has quite the startle reflex. This is the perfect solution for him. When he was swaddled with arms down instead of helping him through each startle, it would irritate him each time that reflex occurred. Now with the zen classic when he startles, he no longer can claw at his face, yet isn’t annoyed that he’s not fully free. It’s the perfect middle ground. I do think the weighted pads on the chest and sides do help with the transfer out of sleeping in arms so makes putting him down to sleep easier.
Josh H.
My little guy loves his new swaddle! Nested bean has the best customer service and the products are great. We have the newborn one and will definitely purchasing another when he put grows this one!
Bridget P.
This definitely helped my 6 week old sleep longer stretches at night. He is active sleeper and at times was trying so hard to get his arms out of swaddle, but also not ready to have his arms totally out. We start the night fully swaddled, then after first feeding, he usually wants to be switched to his arms up by face. I love that it has both options interchangeably!! It definitely helps him self soothe a bit too when he wakes after feeding. Would definitely recommend. Great quality and super soft!!
Nora H.
The quality and durability is great. However it didn’t help my fussy sleeper or lengthen his sleep time. Wish me luck.
Gabriela P.
I got it for my daughter to help her sleep longer but she truly sleeps about the same and she slept almost through the night, maybe I’ll see more of a change later on.
Melanie B.
Love this sleep sack! Has the option to swaddle arms down but my baby loves his arms up and the little “wings” keep him from scratching himself or startling awake. Also helps keep his hands out of the way with feeds at night. And the 2 way zips are the best for diaper changes in the dark. Highly recommend.
Kristina M.
While I love that the zen has two zippers to make changing a diaper easy, I have not experienced any change to my daughter’s sleep. The added weight has not made a difference for her.
Crystal M.
My son has slept 9-11 hours every since we bought this swaddle a month ago. And he will be 4 months this week. He loves one arm out and one arm up. He hated being traditionally swaddled. This is the perfect middle ground and we have two!
