The first night I put this on my 5 week old she slept 4 hours straight! Then the next night it was 7 hours straight! She is now 3 months old and every night she has slept 4 or more hours in a row! When she wakes up and starts wiggling the sack makes her feel so cozy and secure that she goes back to sleep. So far I give it 5 stars! The only downfall is that it is very tight (like it’s supposed to be) but my 2 month old is 9 pounds and in another week we’re going to need to buy a size up, and they are pretty spendy. But the money is worth it if it helps your baby sleep all night!

Baby really likes having her arms up and close to her mouth more so then tucked to the side with traditional wraps. She still has a strong startle reflex and this helps dampen that. One negative is that it shrinks in the drier so line dry.

We love this swaddle! Our daughter does not like her arms swaddled by her side so this is the perfect option for her. The slightly weighted egg on the chest I feel really comforts her. When she stirs in the night, if I lightly tap my hand on it, she typically falls right back to sleep. After a week of trying it, I ordered the next size up!
Jessica M.
I like the ease of putting this on compared to other models. However... I don’t like that the zipper is so bulky around my son’s neck. It seems to flip in and I worry about it restricting his breathing. I wish I zipped from top to bottom and the neck area was more comfortable and less restrictive. I also find it seems to ride up on him if he kicks around at night and then he is coughing almost like choking. I may return it as I haven’t noticed any changes in his sleep either.

I purchased this with high expectations when my daughter was 4 weeks old. She has to be swaddled to sleep cause she has a very strong startle reflex but HATES not having access to her hands and arms. I thought this would be perfect. My biggest gripe with this swaddle is the length. My daughter at 7 weeks is very long herself and already can no longer straighten her legs inside the sleep sack. I ordered the next size up (which is obviously too big for her right now) and the difference in length between the two is very drastic. I wish the 0-3 month size was longer. If it was I would rate this higher.
Amanda D.
Life changing! My 3 month old was barely sleeping 2 hours at a time at night before we tried this. The 1st night he slept 5 hours straight! By the 4th night he slept 7 hours!!!! We are starting the transition with one arm out and he still slept 8 hours. I would recommend this to everyone
Bret G.
We absolutely love this swaddle. It has made a difference in her being able to sleep in her own bed and not ours.
Krista D.
This sleep sack has been amazing! My two month old sleeps 4-5 hours straight now!
Great quality!! Highly recommend it!
Ashley R.
My daughter has always been a great sleeper, once asleep, as long as she is tightly swaddled. Since having this, she’s put herself to sleep every night!
Lauren O.
Nice quality, but didn’t impact our baby’s sleep.
Angela S.
Love the Nested Bean swaddles! We chose to try the Zen One because our lil lady kept getting her arms out of the regular swaddle. I was surprised with how little the swaddle is, I’m worried she will grown out of it really soon, but she hasn’t yet! I also could have shrunk it accidentally!! Whoops!! But overall we love it!!!
Marie S.
I wish I had this swaddle sooner. My daughter is about to outgrow it and I so wish she could use it longer. She loves the arms up swaddle and the security and comfort of the beans. I definitely credit this with helping in our sleep training process.
Sarah M.
We started using the zen one with our 5-week old. I mostly got it because she needed to fall asleep with my hand on her chest. Love that this weighted swaddle mimicks human touch. Our little girl loves it! Sleeping great and only waking up once during the night at 7-weeks old. Highly recommend for sleep-deprived parents.
Sarah M.
I returned my zen one sleep sack and am awaiting the refund. I didn’t feel it was any better than the competitors sleep sack/swaddles, just for a much larger price tag. Well made and quick customer service but not for me.
Bobbie S.
I did not notice any changes unfortunately.
Felicita T.
Took my baby some time to get used to it. But now he’s able to sleep a lot longer. Helps with his startle reflex. It is smaller than I expected so I can’t use it with the zipper part on. But otherwise satisfied
Jessica G.
This is the only swaddle my little one can’t get out of. She is sleeping so much better!
Chandra H.
It was a hard transition from the arms down swaddle to this, but it was a bit of a life saver as my boy could get out of the arms down swaddle but still had the Moro reflex and was unready to transition to no swaddle.
Now that we are transitioning it's also been great for the ease of just zipping off an arm :)
Jennifer D.
Daughter is having trouble sleeping, so we ordered this in hopes it would help. Unfortunately, she likes to move to her side at night, which nullifies the use of the product. Still struggling to find something to keep her asleep.
Danika S.
LOVE this item, but unfortunately, we only got to use a couple of times and then it was too small. Definately will be trying other products once our babe's startle reflex goes away! Also, I wanted to mention that the customer service is awesome!
Alissa C.
Love the design and wish it was developed sooner. Started it with our son at 5 months and even though it's supposed to be good through 6 months, it is very short in length. This is why I cannot give it 5 stars. I also like the quick dry hands.
Miriah E.
My daughter is one month old and she slept about 2-3 hours every night, now she sleeps between 5-7 hours!
Jaime J.
Not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but the first few nights of using this, we were seeing our longest stretches of sleep to date! And now that we’ve been using it for a couple of weeks, it has continued!
One big con is sizing. Our 2 month old is 13 pounds (big I know) but she is almost maxing out the 3-6 month size! There is barely any room for her feet which is a bummer. I was hoping to get some more life out of it.
Bethany M.
Our little one went from waking up once or twice to sleeping 10+ hours. If she is fighting sleeping a lot of times we can put it on her and she calms down & goes to sleep pretty easy. We love it
Ashleigh S.
I actually ordered this while in the middle of the night up with my little one. He was only 3 weeks old so I wasn’t super concerned with him not sleeping a lot through the next because he was sleeping so much during the day. The first night we got this swaddle he slept from midnight-5am, woke for a feeding, then right back to sleep until 10:30! If you’re little one is not sleeping well, try this! (Besides sleeping at night with this swaddle, he is likely sleeping while being held so I really think the weight of this swaddle is what worked!)
Erika K.
Love this! My lo was waking up multiple times during the night. The first night I put this sleep sack on her she slept all night!
Naomi O.
He is still not sleeping through the night but sleeping much longer stretches
Jessica P.
Love this! Helps our daughter fall asleep.
Melissa M.
We started our daughter in the nested bean and immediately she slept great in it. I would definitely recommend this sleep sack.
Macy G.
The Zen sleep sack has helped our little man sleep well once I finish feeding him and lay him in his bassinet. Prior to using the Zen sleep sack, he was very restless and would cry after 2 minutes of being put down. It’s been an amazing experience this far with our sleep sack! 10 out 10 stars!
Erika O.
It was great, however, my baby is 2 months old and almost 12 lbs and the 3-6 month size was so small she only was able to wear it a week :(
Nicholas B.
Me and my wife definitely seen inprovement in my daughters sleep with this product. I would suggest a zipper that starts from top to bottom. Then you are able to change diapers with out completely taking it off. As well as the top zipper when closed is really bulky and bumps up against my daughters mouth so through the night she is attempting to feed thinking its a nipple at times. So it wakes her up. And the shoulder part is sort of bulky as well. Granted I know they may fit differently on all children.
Also you should charge an additional $2.50 or $3.00 and included a "nested bean" branded wash bag, I honestly did not know this would be needed until we attempted to wash it the first time and did not have one so now we ordered one and have to wait 3-5 days. Please give me royalties when you do decided to use that idea. :)
Becca P.
My little one has been wearing the zen one for a few weeks now and he doesn't sleep any better than before. It's a good sleep sack, but wish it actually helped him soothe.
Amelia L.
I love this swaddle!! As soon as I started using it for my 3 month old, she started sleeping 9 hours at night, maybe getting up once. She loves to keep her hands up, so having that option is everything. The mesh on the wings allows her to self soothe and have the feeling of her actual hand. I have already bought another for a baby shower I am attending. Great job, Nested Bean!
Erin C.
Absolutely awesome! Our 3 month old loves it!!
Kathryn C.
I like the zip off sleeves. It’s not a miracle product like the ads would have you believe. My 3 month old doesn’t sleep any longer than she did prior to receiving these. I’m glad I purchased on sale as they are overpriced.
Kati R.
My daughter has always slept well, but was getting to the point that she needed to be transitioned from a traditional swaddle as she was starting to roll over, but was not ready for her arms to be completely free due to still being jerky. She also seemed to be hitting the 4 month regression. I decided to give this a try, starting with one arm "free" in the arm pouch. Then, about a week later we did both arms free in the pouches and she's sleeping even better than ever! She's a little over 4 months old and has always slept best with my hand/arm rested over her...which was very uncomfortable for me as she's in a bassinet next to the bed. With the Zen One, I no longer need to be uncomfortable all night! This is a product that is WELL worth the investment.
Lisa K.
This was too small for our 10 lb 2-month-old baby. I had also bought the 3-6 month and that fit him much better. Great product though, definitely helped a bit with sleeping.
Samantha A.
My 2 month old slept in her bassinet for 3 hours the 3rd night and now sleeps 7 hours.totally recommended!
CAITLIN R.
This product was not designed for tall babies. My little one would have enjoyed this longer, but due to the length, we barely made it to month 4 before we had to move out of it. We loved the features, especially the fully weighted vest and swaddle like strap on the inside.
Erin C.
Our 4 month old is an average sized baby but the 3-6 mo Zen One was way too small for her in the length. We wanted to make it work anyway but she hated this swaddle which we were actually trying to use as a transition out of a swaddle since it does one arm, then turns into a sack. We were sad about that though because it is so cute and really well made. I laughed that I thought it seemed like baby performance gear! Luckily they have a good return policy. I wish it had worked for us but they really need to make a bigger size.
Samantha F.
This Swaddle has helped us go from getting up every 1.5-2 hours to sleeping in about 3-4 hour stretches! Worth every penny for our family!
Kortney G.
As much as I would love to say this swaddle worked for me, it didn’t. My 6 week old has issues sleeping at night and is up every 1-2 hours. After using this swaddle for 2 weeks, she is still up every 1-2 hours. It did not work for us. I wish it did for the price.
Jonathan a.
The change was immediate. I couldn’t put my baby down to sleep at night without him already being asleep until the Zen Classic came into our lives! Now I put him down while he’s still awake and he just falls asleep on his own. I’m super impressed with it!
Lisa F.
We can see how other babies would love it! Unfortunately, our baby could not get comfy in it.... she may benefit from a different one possibly
Morgan N.
We LOVE this swaddle! we need it in bigger sizes ❤️
Wendy M.
My 12 week old has a really strong startle reflex but also HATES being swaddled— this has been a miracle worker! She likes having her arms up and she’s sleeping great in it. She went from 5 hour stretches to sleeping a few 10 hour stretches! Thank you for helping us tired parents get some rest.
Sarah B.
My baby girl knocks out within minutes of putting this on. It’s help sleep train her. She’s a month old and sleeping 5 to 6 hour stretches at night
Victoria S.
Got the 3-6mo for my 3 month old. It’s ok... her arms are not comfortable in it so I keep them off. I wish I tried the larger size. I’m not sure that it helps us.
Meghan S.
Did not improve sleep.
Heather B.
Love this thing! I was having trouble with a regular swaddle so these arm straps were a life saver. She instantly slept better in the Nest Bean products, and I love that this product will grow with her and help her transition out of a swaddle. I’ve recommended this to everyone I know!
Caitlin
We love the Zen One and recommend it to everyone we meet looking for a swaddle for their new baby! We loved it so much that we ordered the larger size and now use it as a sleep sack. We love the interior Velcro band that keeps our son feeling snug. When he was smaller we used it to swaddle with his arms down and now have been able to transition him to arms out. The weight portion allows him to feel secure when we are not there. Well designed and a great product.
Megan V.
The Zen One has been great for us! She was in a more traditional wrap around velcro swaddle for the first month or so. When she started being more active her arms would break out and sometimes the swaddle would creep up over her mouth and nose (not good!) The zipper design with the Zen One doesn’t allow that to happen, giving me much more peace of mind. I also love the multiple options (both arms in, one or two arms out (but still zipped), or both arms completely out. It’s a great product and I wish I had it for my first two!
Tasha M.
Unfortunately it didn’t work for us. But I’m sure it works for some!
Caitlin d.
Sort of magical! I was dubious since our two month old has never tolerated being swaddled. In fact it seemed to make him angry. But I was desperate to help him sleep independently since he would only sleep while someone was holding him. After the first night he slept 6.5 hours! I’m definitely on board. He instantly settles down for naps and nighttime when we put the Zen One on. He also doesn’t reawaken if the pacifier falls out of his mouth like he did previously.
Elizabeth P.
I like this suit, however I don’t think it helps my son sleep any longer. He was already sleeping 3-5 hour stretches & I was hoping this would give us a few more hours. He’s still sleeping about the same. I do like that his hands can be up by his head, he hated to be in a traditional swaddle with his hands trapped but would startle himself awake if his hands were left out. Having the option to zip off the sleeves are great, too. My only con is it’s a little small. My son is 2 months old and the 3-6 month sack is almost too short & getting really snug. He’s 11 pounds and almost 24 inches long for size reference. Overall, a great sleep sack & I’ll definitely be buying a bigger size soon!
Sara S.
Best baby product ever! Highly recommend. My little one sleeps so well with her sleep sak.
Lisa C.
Keeps baby calm and comfortable and helps her sleep. Love it
TIFFANY W.
We've been using our bean for a few weeks now and love it. He is too big for the option to use the arms out inside of the swaddle but he does great with his arms swaddles inside and zipped up. You do have to make sure it is low enough around the body when zipping it up otherwise it'll rid up when he wiggles. He is 14 lbs in the 6 month at 6 weeks. We will be transitioning to the sack next and I'm hoping for the same results as we've had with this zen one. When I place the swaddle on now he knows it's bed time.
Linda Q.
Loved how easy it was to change a middle of the night diaper.
Michelle B.
Felt like it didn't make a difference.
Mary E.
I generally have liked NestedBean items and we have two Zen Ones that I anticipate will be helpful in transitioning from swaddle to sleep sack. However, I just noticed a hole in the fabric in the back of this one and we’ve had it for 2.5 weeks. For the price of a Zen One, I’m disappointed in the quality.
Abigail C.
Absolutely love this product! It’s definitely something I am going to tell every new parent that asked me what products they need to buy! My 2 month old sleeps 8 hrs a night!
Kim B.
Bought this for my granddaughter as she wasn’t hardly sleeping. My daughter was so exhausted like every new mom is. Very hard to watch. I saw this Zen One on Facebook and decided to try it. It came super fast. She used it the first night and she slept for 4 hours. I think she was 3 weeks old. At 5 weeks old she is sleeping anywhere from 5 to 7 hours at night. She puts her in this every night and sometimes during the day if she is super fussy. She said she will order the next size when she is 3 months old. This was worth the money. I never buy stuff off of Facebook adds. I went to the actual website and ordered there.
Ava A.
My Granddaughter sleeps so much better with this. I just wish they existed when I was having babes!
Anna W.
3 month old slept for the first time all night and continues to do so! I went ahead and purchased Zen Sack and Jammies!
Katy T.
Our baby boy loves his arms up so he can suck on his hands to self soothe, however his startle reflex is so strong! The zen one has been perfect for his self soothing and containing his startles, he sleeps like a champ with it.
Whitney E.
My baby sleep great in these swaddles! I would recommend to anyone!
Iulia H.
Love it except wore it only twice because it was too small. Wish you guys made a bigger size for this style swaddle.
Hannah L.
My 12 week old loves his Zen One Swaddle! It allows him to move but still feel like that weight as if someone is holding him. The zipper sleeves are awesome too because he loves to suck on his hands which helps him self sooth at nighttime which means more sleep for this mama! I had to purchase another swaddle for when one is being washed because it’s night and day difference with his sleeping when using a different swaddle. I was skeptical at first but now I’m so pleased with the result!
Alissa F.
This is our favorite thing! We don’t even use any of the traditional swaddles we have anymore. He always calms down the second we zip it up
Katelyn M.
Best thing ever made. Zen one swaddle is literally everything you need. Get more than one though because you’ll need one in between wash time!! I learned the hard way. We have three now
Katelyn R.
I have both the zen sack and the zen one, and I love them both! The zen sack was a little big for my comfort for my newborn at 7lbs 2oz so I bought the zen one. It works like a charm! At just over a month old, he is sleeping 4-5 hours at one time on average. The nested bean products are easy to use and my son appears to be super comfortable in them! When he gets just a little larger, I will transition to the zen sack and I expect the same results. I would recommend this product to anyone with a newborn. In fact I have already recommended it and will plan on purchasing this as a baby shower gift for people from now on!
Wanda H.
It didn't work for the baby. He kept getting startled and waking up multiple times at night :(. I was really hoping for some good results
Nyomi D.
My baby absolutely loves the Zen Swaddle. He is currently four months and the one he had since he was a newborn is getting too small so I opted to buy the new Zen Swaddle.
I enjoy the fact that the Zen One grows with your baby but I already had the Zen Swaddle so that feature wasn’t useful to me. What I wish it did have was the option to still secure the babies arms after they grow out of that Velcro wrap.
My baby does not like the fact that the arms are secured up. It’s uncomfortable for him bc his arms are long. And when they are in there he tends to chew on his hand.
Nevertheless, I still use the Zen Swaddle and I will still use it until he out grows it. I will try again with the Zen One next month when he feels comfortable keeping his arms free and I will use it like the Zen Sack.
Brittany C.
My baby has loved this! We were using the Ollie swaddle, which he loved but it was becoming to restrictive. His startle reflex is still pretty strong. so his arms can’t be completely free. This has really helped him. I love how I can unzip the arms.
Lauren F.
I had been sleeping on the couch with it reclined for the first 5 weeks of my daughter’s life because that is the only way she would sleep. She hated to be by herself in her bassinet or swing. Until I bought this! She has not slept a single night on my chest since this purchase! I finally get to sleep in my bed again, thank God! I put this on her and pop in her paci and set her in the momaroo and she will hang out without crying even and falls asleep shortly after all by herself. This was seriously a godsend! I did size up to the 3-6 month size when she was 9.5 pounds and it fits well. This is an absolute must!
Kassandra J.
My little boy has been wearing the Zen One for the last month, and he’s 3 months old. I find myself questioning whether the arm pouches are too small for his arms to fit into completely, so I put his elbows into the body part of it, touching the inside rib strap. It just seems so tight there’s no way it could be comfortable, but he does sleep really well with it on. The weighted beans are genius, but it spoils him to the weighted Zen One, to where he doesn’t like it when we have to use a regular generic swaddle for when the Zen One is in the wash. So the baby loves it, it just confuses me, lol. Now to figure out how to help him transition easily out of the zippered arm pouches- he hasn’t liked having one off and the other one still on and his arms still move too much for him to sleep well with the pouches removed. We’ve washed the Zen One around 10 times now, and the rib strap has shrunk and doesn’t cover as much belly as it used to, definitely not as stretchy now. Overall, the Zen One has shrunk a bit, (I followed washing instructions to a T.) but it’s not bad and hasn’t effected baby at all.
Lauren T.
These products are honestly a game changer! My seven week old slept 10 hours last night... I literally couldn’t believe it. We are nested bean customers for life!
Katherine H.
Too small for my 16 pound 3 month old. Loved the idea! Please make bigger.
Cari T.
I LOVE this product and if you're trying to decide whether or not to order, just do it!
My son had been using the Nested Bean swaddles, but was busting out of them like it was his mission every night. We started using this to keep his arms locked in. He is a few weeks from being 4 months old. Once he starts to roll, I'll just remove the arm! I ordered two of them so I could rotate between washes.
Mara S.
This angel sleeps like a dream. She always was a good sleeper, about 5-6 hour stretches, but now she is sleeping in 9 hour stretches! It’s amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Jaimie L.
So badly want the Zen One to work because we love the swaddle. However, the 3-6 size is too small for our 18 pound 3-month-old. Bummed.
Cayley S.
I absolutely love these products! I didn’t believe a baby could sleep more than 45 mins at a time with my first, but we’ve use these swaddles since my second was a newborn and she sleeps like an angel
Maria D.
I loved the idea and it’s made beautifully! However it didn’t help our little one much.
Cayley S.
These products are like magic! I wish I’d had one for my first-born
brittany B.
My son loves this! He loves his hands by his face and this allows him to self soothe. The gentle weights seem to help him feel snuggled and safe. Bonus- it’s adorable :)
Patricia S.
Enjoyed it until my dog ate it about a week after using.
Anna M.
My little one hated be swaddled and always wanted me to touch or be near him. He’s 2.5 months and he can sleep by himself without my touch! I love the built in belly band and I love that you can take off the arms so he can be free. I love nested bean sacks but this one is amazing!
Laura S.
This doesn’t seem to work for our little one :(
Jordan H.
THE BEST money we have spent. I wish we would have gotten the zen one months ago. My 3 month old is Houdini when it comes to a swaddle.. we have had nothing but amazing nights sleep with the zen one. This is a MUST for any new parent. Don’t think twice... just buy it!
Erica W.
I loved the concept! My last baby liked being swaddled. However unfortunately my newest member does not like being swaddled. ☹️...so it didn’t really work out this time.
Marianne C.
Hi, my baby girl liked the Zen One but my suggestion is that you have larger size for larger babies. She is 3.5 months old and already weighs 16 lbs. So she will grow out of the 3-6 months size quite soon even though she isn’t ready to transition to a sleep sack yet. Please consider offering a medium or large size for this product.
Glemore C.
First nights with my baby was so hard! Sleepless nights! Baby wanted to be held all the time. He cried every 30mins after being put down. That’s when I decided to buy this product. The first night with this, was so amazing. Baby was able to sleep every 2-3hrs and only wakes up during feeding. This made a huge difference! This product is highly recommended!
Blair L.
Can’t live without this now. Absolutely in love with this product and my baby girl does too. Fabulous quality too.
Hannah B.
This swaddle helps our baby fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer! She’s only 3 months, so she doesn’t fall asleep on her own yet (we still have to rock her), but I can tell this swaddle has helped improve her sleep so much. We used to have to hold her for every nap and nurse her to sleep every time, but now she’ll fall asleep without nursing and we can lay her down in her crib for naps and at night!
Amanda J.
Best purchase ever! My little guy is a pretty good sleeper, but he fights sleep like a champ and, of course, every baby has rough sleeping patches. The Zen One is awesome! He's out like a light within just a few minutes after I put this on, and he sleeps longer stretches when he wears it.
Patricia M.
This really helps my 3-4 mo old grandson sleep through the night!
