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.

I never review products usually but I’m so satisfied with my purchase I felt like I had to write something! My newborn hated being swaddled with his arms down and could wriggle out of the tightest wrap so we eventually gave up . Sleeping has been a struggle for us and he usually would end up getting so tired that he would inconsolably cry constantly. This was a purchase out of desperation even though money was tight. I’m so glad I took a chance on this . Laying him down without him startling himself awake is such a game changer and he literally stays asleep for hours ! Not to mention it’s made his mood during the day so much better and his naps are more frequent . I use it with his arms in the little mesh sleeves because he likes his hands by his ears. This is the first time I’ve felt a small victory as a first time mom!
Stephanie D.
I love it, baby loves it. Love the material. Love that it helps her sleep!
So far, this has been my favorite swaddle thus far!
Christina F.
My son is is at that mid-way point between loving being swaddled but also wanting to self soothe. The zen one is perfect for that! I especially love the two-way zipper so that I can do a quick check of the owlet or change his diaper without taking away the warmth and comfort if the sack (ie he sleeps through it my disturbance!). And the swaddle Velcro is sturdy and stays adhered!! My son regularly wriggled free of his previous swaddle sacks no matter how hard I tried. At 11 wks he is now sleeping anywhere from 8-10hrs a night. (Note: he’s strictly formula fed) I wish I’d gone straight to Nested Bean before buying several standard swaddle sacks.
Claribel O.
The 0-3 month size runs small. I went with the guidelines they have on their chart. My son is 2 months and weighed 11lbs. I had to return for an exchange. I have used nested bean items for my first son in the past so I know they’re great but sucked having to return the Zen One Sack and waiting for the next size.
Emily M.
This was the only swaddle that helped my daughter sleep on her own. After the first use she slept 8 hours straight, then the next night 9, and the next night 10! We love nested bean!!
Kelly L.
The Zen One sleep sack has been our saving grade since our little boy was a newborn. We tried many different swaddles and other sleepsacks and each night was disaster UNTIL the Zen One! He is currently still in the 0-3 months because he’s 12 pounds but I ordered this one and another for him to move to as soon as he is 13 pounds and 3 months old! Sleep is a must for mom of 2 and this sleepsack helps that more than anything!
Robyn H.
The quality is nice however the way the arms are up and so tight gave our baby heat rash in the "elbow pit" are so we had to stop using it until she can sleep with the arms free.
MORGAN B.
Unfortunately, my little one did not like the zen swaddle. However, the item came quickly and customer service was very easy for returns so I give them a lot of credit! Just because it didn’t help my little guy, it doesn’t mean it won’t help yours. Give it a shot!
Paige B.
Our little girl would get so restless before bed that it would take a good hour or so for her to settle down and be completely asleep. She also knocked her pacifier out constantly. To get her to sleep I would lightly hold her hands on her chest so having the little bit of weight there has been great. The mesh sleeves do allow her to munch on her fist if needed but it mainly keeps her from knocking herself so much. I honestly feel like she now knows when it’s bed time when I put her in her sack. She only gets up once a night to breast fed and is only two months old. Definitely would like to purchase some more!!
Lindsey D.
Since day one she’s hated her arms down in a swaddle! Even in her ultrasound pictures she always had her hands up by her face! With this swaddle she’s able to keep her hands up and sleeps amazing because of it! So much so we just ordered a second one! And as she grows you bet we will keep ordering more!
Amber B.
She loves to have her arm strapped but were trying to transition out of the swaddle now and this is really helpful.
Natalie H.
Life changing!!! Helped my 5 week old baby sleep better in a matter of a few nights. Now he sleeps more comfortably and for longer periods (and now, so do I)! I ordered another one in the next size up, too. Definitely recommend!!
Hester, J.
It’s not working yet. She kicks her legs and it wakes her up.
Katherine F.
My newborn has been sleeping so much better since using the Zen one. He continues to increase the amount of time he sleeps at night snd he slept for eight hours straight last night! The customer service has also been wonderful.
LIz W.
Our baby is just a month old and I have been swaddling her with her arms up since. She feels so secure that way. When I saw this swaddle, I thought it was perfect for the summer. The first nap worked and I was so excited but since then my baby refuses to sleep in it. It’s such a sham as this wasn’t cheap and I was really looking forward to her sleeping longer in the night and secure.
Mirella M.
I ordered this and washed it once on delicate when I received it. It ended up having a huge hole in the mesh and couldn't use it. I emailed customer service and have yet to receive a response. I wish I could've tried it...
Shelia J.
I bought this for my granddaughter and she is sleeping much better since she has been wearing it…..
Krizzia L.
Saw nested bean on an ad and i thought i wanted to give it a try.
After 3days of sleeping in it, my baby slept through the night! No kidding! This is like the best invention ever. We also use it when my baby naps.
Very cute print and very soft material too.
Alexa S.
So far it’s okay. My son fidgets around with the arms in but with the arms out he still wakes himself up. We will keep trying it and hopefully it works.
Steven W.
First week of putting this on for bedtime for my son and it definitely helped his sleep startles a little more and is able to stay sleeping longer with his nested bean sack I love it so far thanks again from a tired momma
Kelly V.
Used it for the first time at 4 days old.. ordering more for sure!!
Lusacia O.
This sack helped us transition out of the swaddle! We used the wings for about a week then switched to arms out. My daughter is now self soothing and putting herself back to sleep! The double zipper makes nighttime changing much easier. It's not as baggy as other sacks so it still provides comfort like a swaddle. Overall it's a helpful product! We didn't see extended sleep hours for a couple weeks but we are now getting 5-6 hour stretches which is huge for my girl who hates sleeping. When she outgrows the 0-3 m I think I will buy another!
Joseph B.
Holes started forming in the back. I reached out to customer service with no response. I like the product, but the quality is questionable
Debbie S.
My 7 week old likes to sleep with her arms up by her head but her startle reflex would wake her up constantly at night. The first night we had the zen one she slept a solid 5 hours before waking for a middle of the night feeding. We have been using the zen one for 3 weeks now. Last night she actually slept all the way through the night for the first time! I am so happy so far to have this swaddle/sleep sack! Love it!
Jennifer M.
It’s very soft
Katie C.
We love the zen sack! It has helped us transition out of a swaddle. However, one day after using it, one side of the mesh arm inserts came apart and our daughter now can stick her fingers through. I sent a Facebook message and they told me to complete a form on the website and I did and I have not heard anything back
Tiara K.
My newborn really loves this swaddle. After 3 wks old he no longer likes the sleeves on it, but sleeps really good without them attached. I have the next size up and will be ordering the next size after he out grows these. If your on the fence order it, You won't be disappointed!!
Megan F.
We love the zenone! Our 6 week old daughter went from sleeping for 3.5 hour stretches to at least 5 hours, now waking up only once overnight. We’ve only been using it for four nights now but we know that we’ll be purchasing the next size up when she grows out of this one.
Donna P.
I bought this for my niece and she lives it. Very good quality, she said her son sleeps in it every night. Would definitely buy it again and will give it out for gifts
Courtney L.
Pros: I love the zipper and allows to have his hands up. He sleeps very well in it opposed to swaddling. The material is nice and it washes well.
Cons: Had a very strong chemical smell to it right out of the package.
Fits small, it’s very snug on my 2.5 month old and it’s suppose to fit to 6 months old. There’s no way it will. They need a bigger size with the arm option.
Kristina R.
It was too small for my 1.5 month old.
Janelle F.
Unfortunately my baby grew long way faster than I thought so it was already too short by the time it came. I might try a bigger size.
Kelsey G.
Cooper (7 weeks) is now sleeping 8 hours or more at night! He also naps for several hours during the day with the nested bean. I love how it will evolve with him as he grows the next few months.
Alexis S.
My girl loves this!! So great to wean her out of swaddling!
Miranda K.
This sleep sack combines every feature you into one item! The belly strap helps baby feel secure and the mesh arms up pockets allow my baby who hated having his arms pulled in and down actually sleep. He loves, I love it, best sleep sack option out there. Period
Brittney Z.
My baby sleeps good in it. She doesn’t like the arms zipped up though so i just take her arms out and it’s better for her. It’s over priced though.
Rebekah M.
I was skeptical of this but seriously love it! She sleeps 5 or more hours in this at night ad is 3 months old! I nurse her, it’s wonderful!
Dani P.
Unfortunately, my baby girl didn’t like this at all- and I was so hoping she would because it looked amazing! Great material and good customer service, but didn’t work for us.
Megan K.
Game changer! My son loves to have his hands up when he’s sleeping, so this has been perfect! He also super hot natured but this is breathable enough that he does get hot! Between this, his dock-a-tot, and the taking cara babies sleep training, he’s sleeping so much more and better! We’re so, so thankful! Just ordered a back up!
Alana C.
My 3mo likes this swaddle much better than hands down. He sleeps almost just as long as when he is swaddled. This swaddle reduces him startle reflex by 90%.
Jessie J.
My baby girl loves sleeping in her Zen One and looks so cute doing it. It's the perfect way to transition away from swaddling. I love how soft the material is. I already ordered a spare and am Nested Bean's newest fan!
Kaley M.
I thought this would work really well for my son because he seemed to want his arms up. Unfortunately, it did not work for us and he actually prefers to be swaddled (or at least gets longer sleep stretches that way!) I will say customer service has been great and I am returning the product despite using it which I was very pleased about!
Jenna L.
My son loves this snd now sleeps 8 hours/night at 3 months old- before nested bean only 4 hours/night
Zuleica S.
Too small
joi b.
An essential item for any new or experienced mom. Currently using on a active teething 6 month old and he is sound asleep within 20 minutes of putting on the Nested Bean. Worth every penny.
Mary D.
We love our nested bean for our 6 week old! He ranges from 6-7 hours a night and last night slept 9!! We highly recommend other parents purchasing for their little one!
Kristin M.
Our son is enjoying it for sleep but within a few days of using it the seam of the inner swaddler ripped.
shelby Q.
So soft and comfortable for baby! Love that they have more movement in the arm area while still keeping her contained and swaddled!
Janna S.
This was a great transition swaddle from swaddling arms down! My daughter loves having her hands up by her face yet still feeling containment!
Krista G.
My 4 month old wore this twice and at the bottom by his feet the seem came apart and now there is a hole.
Kaylee R.
It’s such nice quality and baby loves it! No more 5 am wakings and she sleeps a good 10-12 hours every night! Hopefully this helps with the 4 month sleep regression coming up in a couple weeks
Vanessa G.
Our 5 week old was struggling with being completely swaddled. Did not like having her arms pinned down. Thought we would give this a try since her arms would be up. We just wanted to give her a better quality of sleep not necessarily longer yet since she is so young. The first night she slept two five hour stretches! Love this sleeper and definitely recommend!
Diane T.
I’m a little disappointed in the sizing. It’s already almost too small for my 3 week who is only 8 lbs but on the tall size of 23 inches and his legs barely stretch out in the sack. The measurements for his weight will not work to get the next size up.
Cassie D.
I really wanted to like this...however I wish the company would consider making a medium size...my 3 month old is a big boy! And is already almost to big for the 3-6 month size. but because of the startle reflex still needs to be swaddled...I was hoping to get more use out of it!
Brittany L.
These are amazing!
We put our little girl In the zen swaddle when she was a newborn at about one month old and after a week she was down to one wake up in the night. When we had to transition her to her arms being out I tried a different sleep sack brand that we already had and she was waking up a couple times a night, I purchased this one and within a week she was sleeping through the full night! Such a life saver and we will continue to get more.
Donna P.
I bought one for both my nieces who both just had babies. They loved them. The babies sleep so comfortably in them. Would definitely buy more and highly recommend them
Elizabeth B.
My daughter will NOT sleep without this. She loves it. At 6 months old she sleeps 9 to 12 hours at night
Alicia J.
Absolutely loved this! Our baby girl who’s 7 weeks old was extremely fussy at night not letting my husband and I get some sleep. After purchasing this nested bean swaddle she has been sleeping 6 hours through the night! This is great for comforting Mommy and daddy are super satisfied.
Deanna K.
0-3 months wouldn’t even fit my 2 month old baby. Need better sizing
Brittini F.
material is riping and the valcro isn't sticking anymore. I've only had it for one month.
Kaelyn K.
Love this swaddle! We usually use the strap inside to swaddle but have also tried the arms up position. My daughter loves the lightly weighted feeling. She has consistently slept through the night (6-8 hours) since we started using it at 3 months old.
Tiffany B.
This swaddle has been a life saver. We spent $100's of dollars on different swaddles looking for something that our baby could not only not break out of, but also sleep comfortably in. We used the miracle blanket which worked for a couple weeks but then we noticed he just wasn't comfortable with his arms swaddled down my his sides anymore. He would squirm and fight to get his arms free. We attempted to let him sleep with his arms out but his startle reflex would wake him up. This swaddle allows him to keep his arms up but also provides comfort for when he startles so he can stay asleep. I highly recommend the nested bean zen one!
Rachel Z.
Currently giving this one a try after an epic fail with the zen swaddle.. this one is tricky. I like the concept of it (weighted and wings) but I still might like the halo sleep sack more. Every night has been different. It's been like 10 days now. Some nights it's 6hrs and some is 3hrs. With the halo, I was getting like 6-8hrs k not every night but most nights.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Idk anymore. I still have the sleep sack to give a try at 6 months old (he only 3 now). So wish us luck
Clare W.
I love that it’s slightly weighted to try and help with infant sleep. However, I wish that it was longer. There’s not enough room in the bottom part for our baby to extend her legs and she doesn’t weigh enough yet to go up to the next size. So after a few times we stopped using it.
haley b.
My little one loves this swaddle, she would always escape her other swaddles because she wiggles so much and loves moving her arms. This one allows her to move her arms but still feel swaddled and comforted! Noticed a difference on the first night using it!
Samantha M.
Just had night 2 using the Zen Swaddle for my almost 6 week old. Went from sleeping for 2.5 hour stretches to sleeping a 4.5 hour stretch, then woke up and ate, went right back to sleep for a 3.5 hour stretch!!! So thankful! And the swaddle is so soft. Will be ordering a second one.
Cheyenne K.
We got this for our son when he was about 2 1/2 weeks old, he’s a month old now and is sleeping 5 hours at a time! It’s amazing!
Kathryn V.
The first night it didn’t make a huge difference but we gave it a shot it said 1-3 days for better sleep. Night two was incredible! He slept for 6 hours where he usually averaged 3, maximum 4. Now we can count on at least 4 solid hours and up to 7 for the longest consecutive sleep at just barely 3 months old.
Allison W.
This did not fit my baby like the pictures showed. I was very disappointed that this didn’t fit or work like described. I had high hopes!
Deidra W.
Love it!
Lauren W.
This had been a lifesaver for my newborns sleep pattern. He loved the pressure of the belly band in combination with the weighted part. It's also super helpful to have the option of removing the arms depending on his mood.
Jesse G.
We love it.
Umme S.
It was good. But my baby eats his hands like anything and it would leave the hands wet. Otherwise was great.
Katie N.
My son loves these sleep sacks so much. They are easy to nurse in so he still remains swaddled but has motion of his arms. These are great for a FTM who hasn’t gotten the groove of swaddling yet!
veronica a.
Super comfy and snuggly.. arms in or out! I think the inner strap makes little ones feel very secure.
Jill K.
My little three month old boy literally gets the biggest smile on his face when he sees this sack come out for bedtime! He loves that he can still get his hands and stretch out a bit. He’s been a pretty good sleeper from the beginning so it’s hard to say if the weighted component has made the difference or not, but it surely hasn’t hurt!
Barbara D.
OMG! Fussy baby. Exhausted first time parents. The village was becoming weary as well. Then we were introduced to Nested Bean. She is now in the 3-6 mon. classic style and we aren't looking back. At 3 mons. she's sleeping 6+ hrs at night. Easy care. Plenty of color options & style choices too. Bottom line everyone is sleeping peacefully at night. PRICELESS!!
taylor k.
My daughter has been up multiple times a night and I did a lot of review on sleep sacks this one pointed out to me. I was super excited and eager to sleep through the night. I love how parts of it is weighted I like the designs and the multiple colors but yet was unsuccessful. I was a little disappointed I thought it would had worked. I am going to keep using a few more times and hopefully she gets used to it. She has been swaddled since day one of her life and she is almost 4 months and still is waking up though out the night. I still have hope in this sleep sack, so as of right now "it's okay".
Nichole R.
I love the fact that I change her diaper without having to take her out of the whole sack. I do not believe it helps my baby in particular stay asleep longer but that doesn’t mean it won’t help someone else’s! I don’t plan on returning the Zen’s I bought as they are quality made and adorable.
Sabrina C.
My 3 month old son slept 8 hours the first night using it! He was slowly increasing his sleep at night, but this really gave an immediate boost. My son squirms so much and really needs to be swaddled to get a good night sleep and this absolutely works like a charm! I've used other zipper swaddles, but this one is above all the rest.
Ericka V.
It took a while for my baby to get used to but now it makes bedtime/sleeping easier.
Reyni b.
My baby loves this and ever since I got it she has been sleeping longer stretches at night, only waking up once or twice to eat. Before this she was waking herself up 4-5 times a night. I was using other sleep sacks but none worked like this one. Their customer service is amazing as well. Highly recommend. Will be buying the bigger size as well.
Alec M.
Shipped fast and baby cooper loves it!!
Patricia G.
Not the miracle I was hoping for. I honestly feel like his sleep regressed for the first nights. The quality isn’t the best either. After the first wash the threading already started to come out. It’s just fine? More expensive than what it’s worth.
jurgita w.
My baby loves it and started sleeping longer trough the night!
Heather C.
It’s extremely tight on my two month old -especially around her neck and trunk and her body weight is in the 40th percentile so it’s not like I have a big baby. I’ve been nervous about her wearing it because I don’t want it to restrict her breathing so this has been a disappointment as I was really looking forward to using this product
Natalie N.
My baby was waking up to eat 4 times a night and would be an hour or more of fussing before he would fall back to sleep. First night with the sleep sack on he woke up only 3 times and went straight back to sleep. Within a week of wearing at nights he had cut out 2 whole feedings. Well worth the money to get some sleep!
Amanda D.
Absolutely love the zen one swaddle! She went from 6 hrs of sleep to 10! We even spoke to customer service when our swaddle broke and they replaced it super fast with a new one. Great customer care and great product!
ERIC P.
As soon as we put our daughter in it she was able to get comfortable and not fight the change with it. It keeps her body feel close like she was being swaddled and the transition from swaddling to it was easy and fantastic.

We bought this for our Lo to transit out of his swaddle. The first night we tried to do with both wings in and he seemed to be adjusted well. For the past few nights we tried to do with one arm out with a gradual transition and he seems to be adjusting on 2nd nights onwards . We hope soon he will be fully transit with both arms out. We have tried different swaddle but nothing work as well as this design. Highly recommended
Iris S.
Best sleeping sac I’ve ever purchased! I bought these also for my daughter! Love them 10 out of 10 !!!
Kristin P.
the vest is good, only if your child sleeps completely flat. my son has reflux so we elevate him while sleeping, which becomes problematic with the weighted portions of the vest. wish this was more successful for us!
Tiffani L.
This is an amazing transition swaddle!! my baby was showing signs of wanting his arms free instead of tightly swaddled in but I was nervous his hands would knock him in the head and wake him up. this is a great swaddle to help with this specific transition!!! i love it!
Jennifer M.
I have several nested bean products now. I had the sack for my older son and bought the swaddle for my younger son… when my younger son needed something in between the swaddle and the sack I went right back to their site and found this! I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about the arms. However, I was a little desperate. He loved the swaddle but wanted his arms out and could not sleep with them in- or out! I ordered this and thankfully it came within just a day or two. He loves it! I shouldn’t be surprised, NB makes such well thought out, helpful products. The mesh on the sleeves gives him the ability to suck on his hands to self soothe but dries quickly and doesn’t get too hot. I love that the sleeves can zip off when he doesn’t need them anymore. My only minor complaint is that the material sometimes gets in his face so I have to redo it… maybe a bigger scoop neck would solve that problem? Anyway, we both love it! My 3 month old sleeps through the night because of my nested bean products!
Megan S.
Superb customer service!!
I purchased the Zen One swaddle for my 3 month old after using the Zen Classic a couple years ago with my oldest. I loved their sleep sack then and wanted to try out the transition swaddle.
After two washes the swaddle tore at the bottom seam during the night. My first Zen Classic is still in great shape after 2 years so I knew this mishap was just a fluke. I called Customer Service and they sent a replacement that day! Shipped me the new one within days. I love that a real person answered the phone almost immediately when I called and that the replacement process was complete in minutes.
Mavis V.
My Daughter Is 6 months an loves it a little too much weve had 1 arm out for about a month but as soon as we do both she freaks lol
There is a hold under the zipper and one of the arms tore also but my daughter has been in nested bean since day 1. We love! an have contacted customer support about the hole.
We purchased 2 sleep sacks but unfortunately have not used since we cannot transition her out yet.
Caitlin K.
Love our nested bean swaddle. Our 1 month old slept 7+ hours in this last night, Mom finally had to wake her up. The yellow is adorable and it’s easy to put on. Would buy again.
Jacqueline Z.
It’s not really anything crazy. My baby sleeps the same amount as usual and it doesn’t really fit her right. Its so crooked on her and she’s only 10lbs the bean with the weight in it doesn’t even sit on her chest it’s like on her arms. For me it was a waste of money.
Ryan R.
Our baby loves it!
Maggie M.
I never review products usually but I’m so satisfied with my purchase I felt like I had to write something! My newborn hated being swaddled with his arms down and could wriggle out of the tightest wrap so we eventually gave up .

I’m so glad I took a chance on this . Laying him down without him startling himself awake is such a game changer and he literally stays asleep for hours ! Not to mention it’s made his mood during the day so much better and his naps are more frequent . I use it with his arms in the little mesh sleeves because he likes his hands by his ears. This is the first time I’ve felt a small victory as a first time mom!
Stephanie D.
I love it, baby loves it. Love the material. Love that it helps her sleep!
So far, this has been my favorite swaddle thus far!

My son is is at that mid-way point between loving being swaddled but also wanting to self soothe. The zen one is perfect for that! I especially love the two-way zipper so that I can do a quick check of the owlet or change his diaper without taking away the warmth and comfort if the sack (ie he sleeps through it my disturbance!). And the swaddle Velcro is sturdy and stays adhered!! My son regularly wriggled free of his previous swaddle sacks no matter how hard I tried. At 11 wks he is now sleeping anywhere from 8-10hrs a night. (Note: he’s strictly formula fed) I wish I’d gone straight to Nested Bean before buying several standard swaddle sacks.

The 0-3 month size runs small. I went with the guidelines they have on their chart. My son is 2 months and weighed 11lbs. I had to return for an exchange. I have used nested bean items for my first son in the past so I know they’re great but sucked having to return the Zen One Sack and waiting for the next size.
Emily M.
This was the only swaddle that helped my daughter sleep on her own. After the first use she slept 8 hours straight, then the next night 9, and the next night 10! We love nested bean!!

The Zen One sleep sack has been our saving grade since our little boy was a newborn. We tried many different swaddles and other sleepsacks and each night was disaster UNTIL the Zen One! He is currently still in the 0-3 months because he’s 12 pounds but I ordered this one and another for him to move to as soon as he is 13 pounds and 3 months old! Sleep is a must for mom of 2 and this sleepsack helps that more than anything!
Robyn H.
The quality is nice however the way the arms are up and so tight gave our baby heat rash in the "elbow pit" are so we had to stop using it until she can sleep with the arms free.
MORGAN B.
Unfortunately, my little one did not like the zen swaddle. However, the item came quickly and customer service was very easy for returns so I give them a lot of credit! Just because it didn’t help my little guy, it doesn’t mean it won’t help yours. Give it a shot!
Paige B.
Our little girl would get so restless before bed that it would take a good hour or so for her to settle down and be completely asleep. She also knocked her pacifier out constantly. To get her to sleep I would lightly hold her hands on her chest so having the little bit of weight there has been great. The mesh sleeves do allow her to munch on her fist if needed but it mainly keeps her from knocking herself so much. I honestly feel like she now knows when it’s bed time when I put her in her sack. She only gets up once a night to breast fed and is only two months old. Definitely would like to purchase some more!!
Lindsey D.
Since day one she’s hated her arms down in a swaddle! Even in her ultrasound pictures she always had her hands up by her face! With this swaddle she’s able to keep her hands up and sleeps amazing because of it! So much so we just ordered a second one! And as she grows you bet we will keep ordering more!
Amber B.
She loves to have her arm strapped but were trying to transition out of the swaddle now and this is really helpful.
Natalie H.
Life changing!!! Helped my 5 week old baby sleep better in a matter of a few nights. Now he sleeps more comfortably and for longer periods (and now, so do I)! I ordered another one in the next size up, too. Definitely recommend!!
Hester, J.
It’s not working yet. She kicks her legs and it wakes her up.
Katherine F.
My newborn has been sleeping so much better since using the Zen one. He continues to increase the amount of time he sleeps at night snd he slept for eight hours straight last night! The customer service has also been wonderful.
LIz W.
Our baby is just a month old and I have been swaddling her with her arms up since. She feels so secure that way. When I saw this swaddle, I thought it was perfect for the summer. The first nap worked and I was so excited but since then my baby refuses to sleep in it. It’s such a sham as this wasn’t cheap and I was really looking forward to her sleeping longer in the night and secure.
Mirella M.
I ordered this and washed it once on delicate when I received it. It ended up having a huge hole in the mesh and couldn't use it. I emailed customer service and have yet to receive a response. I wish I could've tried it...
Shelia J.
I bought this for my granddaughter and she is sleeping much better since she has been wearing it…..
Krizzia L.
Saw nested bean on an ad and i thought i wanted to give it a try.
After 3days of sleeping in it, my baby slept through the night! No kidding! This is like the best invention ever. We also use it when my baby naps.
Very cute print and very soft material too.
Alexa S.
So far it’s okay. My son fidgets around with the arms in but with the arms out he still wakes himself up. We will keep trying it and hopefully it works.
Steven W.
First week of putting this on for bedtime for my son and it definitely helped his sleep startles a little more and is able to stay sleeping longer with his nested bean sack I love it so far thanks again from a tired momma
Kelly V.
Used it for the first time at 4 days old.. ordering more for sure!!
Lusacia O.
This sack helped us transition out of the swaddle! We used the wings for about a week then switched to arms out. My daughter is now self soothing and putting herself back to sleep! The double zipper makes nighttime changing much easier. It's not as baggy as other sacks so it still provides comfort like a swaddle. Overall it's a helpful product! We didn't see extended sleep hours for a couple weeks but we are now getting 5-6 hour stretches which is huge for my girl who hates sleeping. When she outgrows the 0-3 m I think I will buy another!
Joseph B.
Holes started forming in the back. I reached out to customer service with no response. I like the product, but the quality is questionable
Debbie S.
My 7 week old likes to sleep with her arms up by her head but her startle reflex would wake her up constantly at night. The first night we had the zen one she slept a solid 5 hours before waking for a middle of the night feeding. We have been using the zen one for 3 weeks now. Last night she actually slept all the way through the night for the first time! I am so happy so far to have this swaddle/sleep sack! Love it!
Jennifer M.
It’s very soft
Katie C.
We love the zen sack! It has helped us transition out of a swaddle. However, one day after using it, one side of the mesh arm inserts came apart and our daughter now can stick her fingers through. I sent a Facebook message and they told me to complete a form on the website and I did and I have not heard anything back
Tiara K.
My newborn really loves this swaddle. After 3 wks old he no longer likes the sleeves on it, but sleeps really good without them attached. I have the next size up and will be ordering the next size after he out grows these. If your on the fence order it, You won't be disappointed!!
Megan F.
We love the zenone! Our 6 week old daughter went from sleeping for 3.5 hour stretches to at least 5 hours, now waking up only once overnight. We’ve only been using it for four nights now but we know that we’ll be purchasing the next size up when she grows out of this one.
Donna P.
I bought this for my niece and she lives it. Very good quality, she said her son sleeps in it every night. Would definitely buy it again and will give it out for gifts
Courtney L.
Pros: I love the zipper and allows to have his hands up. He sleeps very well in it opposed to swaddling. The material is nice and it washes well.
Cons: Had a very strong chemical smell to it right out of the package.
Fits small, it’s very snug on my 2.5 month old and it’s suppose to fit to 6 months old. There’s no way it will. They need a bigger size with the arm option.
Kristina R.
It was too small for my 1.5 month old.
Janelle F.
Unfortunately my baby grew long way faster than I thought so it was already too short by the time it came. I might try a bigger size.
Kelsey G.
Cooper (7 weeks) is now sleeping 8 hours or more at night! He also naps for several hours during the day with the nested bean. I love how it will evolve with him as he grows the next few months.
Alexis S.
My girl loves this!! So great to wean her out of swaddling!
Miranda K.
This sleep sack combines every feature you into one item! The belly strap helps baby feel secure and the mesh arms up pockets allow my baby who hated having his arms pulled in and down actually sleep. He loves, I love it, best sleep sack option out there. Period
Brittney Z.
My baby sleeps good in it. She doesn’t like the arms zipped up though so i just take her arms out and it’s better for her. It’s over priced though.
Rebekah M.
I was skeptical of this but seriously love it! She sleeps 5 or more hours in this at night ad is 3 months old! I nurse her, it’s wonderful!
Dani P.
Unfortunately, my baby girl didn’t like this at all- and I was so hoping she would because it looked amazing! Great material and good customer service, but didn’t work for us.
Megan K.
Game changer! My son loves to have his hands up when he’s sleeping, so this has been perfect! He also super hot natured but this is breathable enough that he does get hot! Between this, his dock-a-tot, and the taking cara babies sleep training, he’s sleeping so much more and better! We’re so, so thankful! Just ordered a back up!
Alana C.
My 3mo likes this swaddle much better than hands down. He sleeps almost just as long as when he is swaddled. This swaddle reduces him startle reflex by 90%.
Jessie J.
My baby girl loves sleeping in her Zen One and looks so cute doing it. It's the perfect way to transition away from swaddling. I love how soft the material is. I already ordered a spare and am Nested Bean's newest fan!
Kaley M.
I thought this would work really well for my son because he seemed to want his arms up. Unfortunately, it did not work for us and he actually prefers to be swaddled (or at least gets longer sleep stretches that way!) I will say customer service has been great and I am returning the product despite using it which I was very pleased about!
Jenna L.
My son loves this snd now sleeps 8 hours/night at 3 months old- before nested bean only 4 hours/night
Zuleica S.
Too small
joi b.
An essential item for any new or experienced mom. Currently using on a active teething 6 month old and he is sound asleep within 20 minutes of putting on the Nested Bean. Worth every penny.
Mary D.
We love our nested bean for our 6 week old! He ranges from 6-7 hours a night and last night slept 9!! We highly recommend other parents purchasing for their little one!
Kristin M.
Our son is enjoying it for sleep but within a few days of using it the seam of the inner swaddler ripped.
shelby Q.
So soft and comfortable for baby! Love that they have more movement in the arm area while still keeping her contained and swaddled!
Janna S.
This was a great transition swaddle from swaddling arms down! My daughter loves having her hands up by her face yet still feeling containment!
Krista G.
My 4 month old wore this twice and at the bottom by his feet the seem came apart and now there is a hole.
Kaylee R.
It’s such nice quality and baby loves it! No more 5 am wakings and she sleeps a good 10-12 hours every night! Hopefully this helps with the 4 month sleep regression coming up in a couple weeks
Vanessa G.
Our 5 week old was struggling with being completely swaddled. Did not like having her arms pinned down. Thought we would give this a try since her arms would be up. We just wanted to give her a better quality of sleep not necessarily longer yet since she is so young. The first night she slept two five hour stretches! Love this sleeper and definitely recommend!
Diane T.
I’m a little disappointed in the sizing. It’s already almost too small for my 3 week who is only 8 lbs but on the tall size of 23 inches and his legs barely stretch out in the sack. The measurements for his weight will not work to get the next size up.
Cassie D.
I really wanted to like this...however I wish the company would consider making a medium size...my 3 month old is a big boy! And is already almost to big for the 3-6 month size. but because of the startle reflex still needs to be swaddled...I was hoping to get more use out of it!
Brittany L.
These are amazing!
We put our little girl In the zen swaddle when she was a newborn at about one month old and after a week she was down to one wake up in the night. When we had to transition her to her arms being out I tried a different sleep sack brand that we already had and she was waking up a couple times a night, I purchased this one and within a week she was sleeping through the full night! Such a life saver and we will continue to get more.
Donna P.
I bought one for both my nieces who both just had babies. They loved them. The babies sleep so comfortably in them. Would definitely buy more and highly recommend them
Elizabeth B.
My daughter will NOT sleep without this. She loves it. At 6 months old she sleeps 9 to 12 hours at night
Alicia J.
Absolutely loved this! Our baby girl who’s 7 weeks old was extremely fussy at night not letting my husband and I get some sleep. After purchasing this nested bean swaddle she has been sleeping 6 hours through the night! This is great for comforting Mommy and daddy are super satisfied.
Deanna K.
0-3 months wouldn’t even fit my 2 month old baby. Need better sizing
Brittini F.
material is riping and the valcro isn't sticking anymore. I've only had it for one month.
Kaelyn K.
Love this swaddle! We usually use the strap inside to swaddle but have also tried the arms up position. My daughter loves the lightly weighted feeling. She has consistently slept through the night (6-8 hours) since we started using it at 3 months old.
Tiffany B.
This swaddle has been a life saver. We spent $100's of dollars on different swaddles looking for something that our baby could not only not break out of, but also sleep comfortably in. We used the miracle blanket which worked for a couple weeks but then we noticed he just wasn't comfortable with his arms swaddled down my his sides anymore. He would squirm and fight to get his arms free. We attempted to let him sleep with his arms out but his startle reflex would wake him up. This swaddle allows him to keep his arms up but also provides comfort for when he startles so he can stay asleep. I highly recommend the nested bean zen one!
Rachel Z.
Currently giving this one a try after an epic fail with the zen swaddle.. this one is tricky. I like the concept of it (weighted and wings) but I still might like the halo sleep sack more. Every night has been different. It's been like 10 days now. Some nights it's 6hrs and some is 3hrs. With the halo, I was getting like 6-8hrs k not every night but most nights.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Idk anymore. I still have the sleep sack to give a try at 6 months old (he only 3 now). So wish us luck
Clare W.
I love that it’s slightly weighted to try and help with infant sleep. However, I wish that it was longer. There’s not enough room in the bottom part for our baby to extend her legs and she doesn’t weigh enough yet to go up to the next size. So after a few times we stopped using it.
haley b.
My little one loves this swaddle, she would always escape her other swaddles because she wiggles so much and loves moving her arms. This one allows her to move her arms but still feel swaddled and comforted! Noticed a difference on the first night using it!
Samantha M.
Just had night 2 using the Zen Swaddle for my almost 6 week old. Went from sleeping for 2.5 hour stretches to sleeping a 4.5 hour stretch, then woke up and ate, went right back to sleep for a 3.5 hour stretch!!! So thankful! And the swaddle is so soft. Will be ordering a second one.
Cheyenne K.
We got this for our son when he was about 2 1/2 weeks old, he’s a month old now and is sleeping 5 hours at a time! It’s amazing!
Kathryn V.
The first night it didn’t make a huge difference but we gave it a shot it said 1-3 days for better sleep. Night two was incredible! He slept for 6 hours where he usually averaged 3, maximum 4. Now we can count on at least 4 solid hours and up to 7 for the longest consecutive sleep at just barely 3 months old.
Allison W.
This did not fit my baby like the pictures showed. I was very disappointed that this didn’t fit or work like described. I had high hopes!
Deidra W.
Love it!
Lauren W.
This had been a lifesaver for my newborns sleep pattern. He loved the pressure of the belly band in combination with the weighted part. It's also super helpful to have the option of removing the arms depending on his mood.
Jesse G.
We love it.
Umme S.
It was good. But my baby eats his hands like anything and it would leave the hands wet. Otherwise was great.
Katie N.
My son loves these sleep sacks so much. They are easy to nurse in so he still remains swaddled but has motion of his arms. These are great for a FTM who hasn’t gotten the groove of swaddling yet!
veronica a.
Super comfy and snuggly.. arms in or out! I think the inner strap makes little ones feel very secure.
Jill K.
My little three month old boy literally gets the biggest smile on his face when he sees this sack come out for bedtime! He loves that he can still get his hands and stretch out a bit. He’s been a pretty good sleeper from the beginning so it’s hard to say if the weighted component has made the difference or not, but it surely hasn’t hurt!
Barbara D.
OMG! Fussy baby. Exhausted first time parents. The village was becoming weary as well. Then we were introduced to Nested Bean. She is now in the 3-6 mon. classic style and we aren't looking back. At 3 mons. she's sleeping 6+ hrs at night. Easy care. Plenty of color options & style choices too. Bottom line everyone is sleeping peacefully at night. PRICELESS!!
taylor k.
My daughter has been up multiple times a night and I did a lot of review on sleep sacks this one pointed out to me. I was super excited and eager to sleep through the night. I love how parts of it is weighted I like the designs and the multiple colors but yet was unsuccessful. I was a little disappointed I thought it would had worked. I am going to keep using a few more times and hopefully she gets used to it. She has been swaddled since day one of her life and she is almost 4 months and still is waking up though out the night. I still have hope in this sleep sack, so as of right now "it's okay".
Nichole R.
I love the fact that I change her diaper without having to take her out of the whole sack. I do not believe it helps my baby in particular stay asleep longer but that doesn’t mean it won’t help someone else’s! I don’t plan on returning the Zen’s I bought as they are quality made and adorable.
Sabrina C.
My 3 month old son slept 8 hours the first night using it! He was slowly increasing his sleep at night, but this really gave an immediate boost. My son squirms so much and really needs to be swaddled to get a good night sleep and this absolutely works like a charm! I've used other zipper swaddles, but this one is above all the rest.
Ericka V.
It took a while for my baby to get used to but now it makes bedtime/sleeping easier.
Reyni b.
My baby loves this and ever since I got it she has been sleeping longer stretches at night, only waking up once or twice to eat. Before this she was waking herself up 4-5 times a night. I was using other sleep sacks but none worked like this one. Their customer service is amazing as well. Highly recommend. Will be buying the bigger size as well.
Alec M.
Shipped fast and baby cooper loves it!!
Patricia G.
Not the miracle I was hoping for. I honestly feel like his sleep regressed for the first nights. The quality isn’t the best either. After the first wash the threading already started to come out. It’s just fine? More expensive than what it’s worth.
jurgita w.
My baby loves it and started sleeping longer trough the night!
Heather C.
It’s extremely tight on my two month old -especially around her neck and trunk and her body weight is in the 40th percentile so it’s not like I have a big baby. I’ve been nervous about her wearing it because I don’t want it to restrict her breathing so this has been a disappointment as I was really looking forward to using this product
Natalie N.
My baby was waking up to eat 4 times a night and would be an hour or more of fussing before he would fall back to sleep. First night with the sleep sack on he woke up only 3 times and went straight back to sleep. Within a week of wearing at nights he had cut out 2 whole feedings. Well worth the money to get some sleep!
Amanda D.
Absolutely love the zen one swaddle! She went from 6 hrs of sleep to 10! We even spoke to customer service when our swaddle broke and they replaced it super fast with a new one. Great customer care and great product!
ERIC P.
As soon as we put our daughter in it she was able to get comfortable and not fight the change with it. It keeps her body feel close like she was being swaddled and the transition from swaddling to it was easy and fantastic.

We bought this for our Lo to transit out of his swaddle. The first night we tried to do with both wings in and he seemed to be adjusted well. For the past few nights we tried to do with one arm out with a gradual transition and he seems to be adjusting on 2nd nights onwards . We hope soon he will be fully transit with both arms out. We have tried different swaddle but nothing work as well as this design. Highly recommended
Iris S.
Best sleeping sac I’ve ever purchased! I bought these also for my daughter! Love them 10 out of 10 !!!
Kristin P.
the vest is good, only if your child sleeps completely flat. my son has reflux so we elevate him while sleeping, which becomes problematic with the weighted portions of the vest. wish this was more successful for us!
Tiffani L.
This is an amazing transition swaddle!! my baby was showing signs of wanting his arms free instead of tightly swaddled in but I was nervous his hands would knock him in the head and wake him up. this is a great swaddle to help with this specific transition!!! i love it!
Jennifer M.
I have several nested bean products now. I had the sack for my older son and bought the swaddle for my younger son… when my younger son needed something in between the swaddle and the sack I went right back to their site and found this! I’ll be honest, I was skeptical about the arms. However, I was a little desperate. He loved the swaddle but wanted his arms out and could not sleep with them in- or out! I ordered this and thankfully it came within just a day or two. He loves it! I shouldn’t be surprised, NB makes such well thought out, helpful products. The mesh on the sleeves gives him the ability to suck on his hands to self soothe but dries quickly and doesn’t get too hot. I love that the sleeves can zip off when he doesn’t need them anymore. My only minor complaint is that the material sometimes gets in his face so I have to redo it… maybe a bigger scoop neck would solve that problem? Anyway, we both love it! My 3 month old sleeps through the night because of my nested bean products!
Megan S.
Superb customer service!!
I purchased the Zen One swaddle for my 3 month old after using the Zen Classic a couple years ago with my oldest. I loved their sleep sack then and wanted to try out the transition swaddle.
After two washes the swaddle tore at the bottom seam during the night. My first Zen Classic is still in great shape after 2 years so I knew this mishap was just a fluke. I called Customer Service and they sent a replacement that day! Shipped me the new one within days. I love that a real person answered the phone almost immediately when I called and that the replacement process was complete in minutes.
Mavis V.
My Daughter Is 6 months an loves it a little too much weve had 1 arm out for about a month but as soon as we do both she freaks lol
There is a hold under the zipper and one of the arms tore also but my daughter has been in nested bean since day 1. We love! an have contacted customer support about the hole.
We purchased 2 sleep sacks but unfortunately have not used since we cannot transition her out yet.
Caitlin K.
Love our nested bean swaddle. Our 1 month old slept 7+ hours in this last night, Mom finally had to wake her up. The yellow is adorable and it’s easy to put on. Would buy again.
Jacqueline Z.
It’s not really anything crazy. My baby sleeps the same amount as usual and it doesn’t really fit her right. Its so crooked on her and she’s only 10lbs the bean with the weight in it doesn’t even sit on her chest it’s like on her arms. For me it was a waste of money.
Ryan R.
Our baby loves it!
