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.

Game CHANGER!!
Baby girl went from sleeping 2-3 hours at a time to 5-8 hours instantly! This Mom approves!
She loves her hands up by her face, so this is the ONLY sack that has worked for her. And the weighted chest calms her so well. We’re able to lay her in her bassinet without her waking up since she’s so snug. Love, love, LOVE!
Louisa R.
Love the concept but my kid self soothes with one of her hands and she has rubbed part of her face so it’s red and getting raw. The mesh sleeves are not soft which is a disappointment.
Angie P.
It works great.
Erica A.
With my son we used a different but similar style swaddle but my daughter sucks her thumb so this has been amazing
Nicole T.
I’ve been using it almost every night (sometimes it’s in the laundry) and it works pretty well. I did not use the arm closure zipper after a couple night because my baby did not look comfortable. He sleeps good but still awakens every couple hours and if he’s awakened it does take a few tries to put him back down to sleep in his bassinet. So instead of the arms inside the zipper closure I use a separate muslin swaddle blanket to wrap him in again. So it’s double swaddle but he seems comfy. I had baby wear short sleeved button crotch top and he doesn’t look too warm which is good. Last night I noticed the material was ripped, it was disappointing that this swaddle doesn’t withstand normal wear after a few weeks. I probably would recommend to get more than one if that’s a problem for other parents.
Lainey B.
We welcomed our first baby in mid March of this year. She was incredibly fussy, crying constantly, and would only sleep if we held her. Needless to say, this led to many tears and sleepless nights. She did not like her arms swaddled because she likes to hold them to her face 24/7. My mom ordered her the Zen One Classic on a whim because it would allow us to swaddle her and maintain her arms the way she likes them. Our baby slept so much better and we ordered the next size up as soon as she outgrew her newborn one.
I also want to commend Nested Bean for their incredible customer service. Our second Zen One Classic had a defect where a hole appeared in the seam below the zipper less than a month after receiving it. I sent an email to customer service asking how we might send it back for a replacement. They were prompt and professional in their response, asking for more details and photos of the problem area. Less than 24 hours later and I was notified that they were sending us a brand new sack. I am so grateful that our little one won’t have to go without hers while we wait for a new one to arrive. Nested Bean has a lifetime customer and I will be recommending them to all of my friends! Thank you!
Leah F.
Love how snug this keeps my daughter. She is now rolling over so all we have to do is unzip the arms for her to sleep safely. Great transitional swaddle!
Christine H.
Before buying Nested bean Zen one my baby doesn’t go for nap in his crib. After I bought Zen one my son can go for day nap for 1hr or more which didn’t happened before. This product helped my son to sleep on his own. Highly recommended!!!
Sara G.
Love it!! My daughter loves to suck on her hands so this was perfect!
Kristina P.
My baby went from waking every 2 hours to every 4 once we transitioned to the zen one.
Ayla B.
Our daughter loves this! We put her in it everytime she sleeps. She's starting to sleep up to 6 hours at night!
Sarah T.
My little girl (3 months) loves the nested bean! We took off the little mesh arms immediately, and she transitioned from a swaddle to the nested bean zen without any major hiccups. I would say to buy a larger size if your baby is at the tail end of the weight limit. I initially purchased the 0-3 months based on my daughter’s weight, but had to get the 3-6 due to length. Nested Bean customer service was incredible to work with, however, and I will be purchasing again and again!
Markie M.
We love Nested Bean! This is our 3rd product from them. Super happy with their products
Maureen B.
I was worried about transitioning from a swaddle, but this is perfect! My little one likes holding his arms up, and this allows him to. He’s never been a great sleeper, but this has helped!
Beccah V.
I love this sleep sack! My baby boy has loved putting his hands up to his face since the womb & now he has a strong startle reflex, so the arms are perfect for him. Love the double zippers, weighted chest, and the comfortability and softness. So cute too!
Jenna F.
Was great to transition out of swaddle!
Elizabeth P.
My daughter has always loved sleeping with her arms up, so this was perfect when we transitioned her out of a swaddle. The removable arms helped her transition in just two nights and she sleeps at least 6 hours!
Anna F.
Libby has LOVED her sleep sack. We love that she doesn't wake herself with her arms and hands, and she loves that she can self-soothe through the mesh! The material is so soft and it doesn't make her too hot in the night. She's a happy little nested bean!
Emalie T.
I think my daughter likes this weighted sleep sack, but the arms are a bit small for her and she’s on the petite side of 5mo. I know it’s supposed to fit close so that it’s not a hazard, but she gets little indentations from the seams...
Daisy C.
Material is super soft and comfy! I love that it also stretches when baby stretches her legs out, to the side and even up in the air. The weighted owl in the front and the sides is also super comforting !
Alysha M.
Love love this swaddle!! My 3 month old son sleeps all night! This mama is very happy to be getting more sleep!
Katrina H.
This makes our 3rd nested bean sack. We’ve tried literally all of the sleep sacks and though none are perfect we feel this is the best for our sweet girl. I will say I did write an email before we bought a bigger size complaining about the Velcro because our daughter kept escaping. That is one thing that I noticed is a constant issue with these is that the band/Velcro gets stretched out. But we still use them every night and love the product.
Samantha C.
I loved the Zen One swaddle that I purchased for my 3 month old baby, and she loves it, too!! She self soothes by sucking on her hands so the mesh arms-up design was perfect for her. However, I just noticed that one of the pockets that holds the weighted beads on her left side must have broke open because the beads spread all over the front inside of her swaddle. I’m not sure how it happened because I wash it according to the instructions and she’s only been wearing it for about a month. The beads aren’t falling out of the swaddle and if I shake them to the side they go back in place but I am very disappointed about this because I loved the product at first.
Alaina A.
Helps baby sleep so well!
Catherine N.
Love this product, it has completely changed our baby’s sleeping. He is consistently sleeping for 6 hours at a time. The design of the swaddle is perfect for our very active sleeper who likes having his hands up. Will be buying these as he grows. So happy we found this.
Kaci F.
Great quality, however I bought per sizing instructions and it was too small. Wish I would have bought the 3-6 month even though my baby was 11 pounds.
Darcje B.
Tried this as my little guy was having trouble sleeping without someone holding him, and it was perfect! It’s gently weighted and he sleeps longer through the night now.
Hillary K.
Extremely impressed with how versatile this sleep sack is. My little one went from 4 hr stretches to 6-7 hours through the night at 3 months old. The quality is absolutely wonderful too! Highly recommend
Phyli E.
Our son is 5 weeks old and has had so much trouble staying asleep. I felt like I was running up and down the stairs all night trying to keep him asleep for longer than 20 minutes. I was losing my mind. This is day two of using our Nested Bean Zen One and we love it so much! It took 10 minutes for him to fall asleep and he has been asleep for 2 hours and still knocked out! No more startle reflex! Hoping it keeps working like this!
Lisa P.
Fits nicely, great material, durable, adds comfort to baby
Ami O.
I bought this out of desperation because my 3 week old was refusing to sleep in his crib. After about 2 weeks of wearing it nightly, he’s now sleeping in his crib at night for 2-3 hour stretches. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the cost and how quickly I’ll need to purchase a larger one. He’s already almost too big for the one I just bought.
Lorena A.
Nested Bean swaddle has given my little one longer stretches of sleep, falls asleep instantly and calms him. I have a very strong fussy baby- he would take his arms out of any swaddle no matter how tight I wrapped him. He loves the nested bean !
Ashley W.
I love our Zen One! We have a few of them, to make sure we have one for every night. I love the lightly weighted chest for my baby, as I really think this helps soothe him. I also love that we can take the selves on and off for customization.
Alea L.
I thought it would help her sleep better but its about the same. The quality is really nice and i like the feature that lets her arms be up but we didn't have any different results than a normal swaddler .

Molly M.
This is incredible for babies who hate to be swaddled! My son has slept through the night (5-6 hours) the first night. He was 4 weeks old then, almost 9 weeks old now. Loved it so much I’ve bought another one.
Fardowza M.
It’s way too tight on my son.
Colleen M.
My little guy loved his nested bean zen one ! He was a fan of being swaddled and the extra weight made such a difference. The only think I wish was getting the 3-6 month size right away as he quickly grew out of the 0-3 month!
Tyler K.
Went from sleeping 2 hours at a time through the night, to 4-5 hours the first time we used it. I would highly recommend this product!
Samantha M.
I love this product. Not only that but when I receive my order it ripped with my daughter only using it for two days. They sent me a knew one completely free! The second one also ripped in the same spot but I believe it is from her kicking it. She is starting to get to small for it and I have no idea what to use
KIMBERLY J.
Stoped the twitches and kept him from scratching his face too! The mesh sleeves helped sooth him when he woke up and if that wasn't enough the weighted beans on the he chest kept him calm enough to sooth asleep without my assistance.
Megan V.
My baby loved this right away! He would wake up to feed every 2-3 hours through out the night. It took a week of wearing this every night and boom, he slept 5 hours and then the next week he slept for 7 hours! Now he’s sleeping through the night at 2 months old! I recommend this to everyone with a baby. It’s a lifesaver!!
Stacy N.
This sleep sack has been wonderful! Our 2 week old loves it and it seems to soothe her well. We plan on buying the next size up too!
Shelby W.
We love this sleeper. Our 3 week old sleeps so well and goes back to sleep so quickly after night feedings. We can’t wait to get more of these as he grows just wish they were a little more budget friendly.
Kara P.
Overall, I’m pleased with the swaddle. The weights soothed my daughter and she loved being able to have her hands by her face.
Pros
- weighting was soothing
- many ways to wear (hand by face, arms by sides, arms out)
- stretchy, comfortable fabric
- internal swaddle made it so my Houdini baby can’t break out of it
Cons
- too short for my tall daughter with no option for bigger sizes
- beads made it take longer to dry after washing
Alexandria H.
Love this product! The material is high quality and the sleep sack is well made. The gentle weight on the chest end wrap around the belly seem to help soothe him when I put it on in the evening. He seems to sleep for longer stretches at night when it is on.
Amy B.
My baby didn’t love it. Will try again another time still pretty fussy.
Allison G.
I was skeptical because our little guy was breaking out of all the Velcro swaddles on the market, but the snug zip up style of this one really works for us. Just wish the Zen One came in the next size up as well!
Miura C.
Amazing results within the first wear! Newborn sleeps longer throughout the night
Ashton W.
This is a life saver. My little one was sleeping okay at night, but waking up often and could only go back to sleep if I was touching him. He also would fight until he got his arms out of his swaddle, then startle himself awake once they were out. I had been seeing ads everywhere for this and finally ordered it (at 2:00 in the morning). After about three nights, he wasn’t waking as much and a bonus is that the Velcro wrap inside helped with his gas overnight! I bought the next size up soon after and am getting the next one soon. Now at bedtime, as soon as we put this on him, he knows it’s time for bed and is asleep in less than 10 minutes and sleeping almost through the night! 100% worth it!
Melba T.
Great for warmer weather. Perfect transition sack for our baby from a traditional "arms in" swaddle to eventually arms free. Did one arm free for a few weeks, then eventually both arms out. We tried a few transition products, and this worked the best! He still wakes himself up occasionally by his arms jerking suddenly in his sleep, but is usually able to self soothe back to sleep. Only issue is that the seam has torn open slightly about two inches below the zipper, and we've only owned the product for a month or so. Seems like a small enough hole I can sew it myself, but I was surprised by how quickly the seam came undone. Overall though, great product, best transition sleep sack for our baby going from arms in to eventually arms free. Would definitely recommend!
Danae B.
Works great! Soft, warm, easy to keep clean and baby sleeps great in it! It seems a little small though for a 3-6 month size I ordered
Brittany S.
Helps my 4 month old sleep 8 hours! Gives her room to wiggle but prevents her from startling herself awake!
Ashlei S.
It works great with making baby stay sleep and self soothing but the inner strap caused my baby not to be hungry during the night and he lost weiihht
Tara T.
Absolutely love the nested bean! We have a very active sleeper so this has helped with the startle reflex allowing her to sleep better and is as well.
Brenda S.
This was the first style we got and loved. The transition sack is the best for a first buy and the mesh arm cuffs are awesome because baby can suck on hands and they dry right up fast. My baby loved it she hated her arms beings swaddled down. Definately recommended.
Leslie S.
I loved it at first, but the wrap inside to swaddle the arms really tends to bunch up around the top of the shoulders for my baby. It’s also almost too snug; my baby is below the weight max for this suit and I have to fight it to zip up around him.
However, when it is on properly, he sleeps better than in any other sleep sack!
Lauren P.
Can’t recommend this enough! My one month old will sleep from 10 PM until 4 AM with us thing on!Mama gets sleep every night… It’s a win-win!
Faith S.
I really like the concept and baby seems to not mind the swaddle and sleeps well in it. Because she is tall, I wish the swaddle was a bit longer. She is going to outgrow it very quickly.
Also, it has only been washed gently twice and worn for a week and there is already a sizable hole in the bottom of it. Durability may be a slight issue. Otherwise, no complaints.
Annie I.
Our little guy was struggling to keep his hands in his traditional swaddle, he loves his hands up, but would startle himself awake with those same cute hands. I looked into this swaddle sack and decided to give it a shot. The first night he was mad about it, but he has loved it since. The weight on his chest and the option to have his hands up keep him happy.
He falls asleep quickly at night!
Caitlin W.
Honestly this has been a lifesaver. I was skeptical at first, but this thing works like a charm. Telling all my pregnant friends to add to their registry ASAP.
Suzanne F.
This is exactly what we needed to help our little one sleep better though the night. We love how versatile this is. We can keep her arms secured or let them come out. The design is super cute as well! Thank you so much for the perfect sleep tool!
Kassandra S.
I absolutely love this sleep sack! My boys know once they go in the sack it’s time for bed and I love that it helps them self soothe in case of any wake ups. 10/10 recommend.
Lindsey P.
Perfect! My daughter loves it!
Meka M.
I love it! Although I feel as though the sizes run too small. Daughter is 5 weeks and has to use the 3-6 month size.
Ashley B.
Love our nested bean! Our daughter is sleeping so much better
Ana V.
Loved the material , color , feel and the design! However , I feel for my baby it was too tight . Also , after a couple weeks of use it ripped from the bottom.
katie W.
Super soft fabric! Little one adjusted to it flawlessly and sleeps so well!
Brianna F.
We have the Zen One in two colors now. This swaddle is perfect for our son because he prefers his arms to be swaddled up. I really like that the hands are mesh (as he likes to suck on them) and it makes it feel more breathable. The Velcro band helps him feel secure and the slight weight to the swaddle has helped the transition from our arms to the crib. It used to take a few tries to get him down and now he will settle on his own. It’s been a great swaddle for us. He did need to wear the 3-6 month size early (he’s currently 2 months) because he’s pretty long and on the chunky side (13 lbs).
Karla G.
I really wanted to love this swaddle especially because my baby loves to sleep with his arms up when not swaddled. However, I ordered a small 0- 3 months due to his age and the weight recommendations (and I should say, I have a small baby) and the arm pockets seem too tight already. His arms barely fit in the mesh sleeves. The swaddle also seems tight around his middle after a few weeks. Maybe it would make a difference with a size up? I would go ahead and buy a bigger size if I was convinced or saw a clear difference in his sleep but I honestly think the other more classic arms down swaddles I own help more. Not sure but I am disappointed.
Kelsey K.
The perfect hug for our little guy!
Mallorie K.
Our 2 month old loves this! She sleeps so well. I bought this one because of the sleeves for her arms. She sleeps with both arms in them. It helps stop her startle reflex. Definitely buying the next size when she outgrows this one!
Richmond F.
Has been great baby been sleeping great!
Katie P.
Really love the weighted part and how snug it is (not too tight). It really makes my daughter feel secure. I also love that the swaddle band is inside of it because she is houdini and has managed her hands out of every other swaddle we've tried so I like that even on the rare occasion she gets her hands out, that they're still contained in the little soother sleeves instead if in her face (waking herself up). I do wish the zipper was a little different somehow. I struggle to get the lite egg centered on her and wish maybe the neck of it was a little lower so i didn't feel like it was near her face (not in a dangerous way, but more that it aggravates her occasionally)
Tracy T.
This swaddle has nice fabric with intricate stitching and cute design. Unfortunately it does not fit our 3 months old baby who weighs 16 lbs. She is consider big for her age and the swaddle is too short and too tight on her although I bought the largest size that is suppose to fit up to 18 lbs for 3-6 months old. When I contacted customer service, they advised me to buy the vest instead. This just defeat the purpose as my baby really need swaddle more than anything, After forcing it on her for a week, I gave up trying. If only they will make this swaddle bigger for kids above 98th percentile.
Brittany B.
I want this to sound as real as possible because I’m always skeptical when I read reviews that sound “too good to be true” but this swaddle has literally changed my baby’s sleeping habits. I have gone through so many different swaddles, including just keeping it simple with a muslin swaddle blanket and my boy refused them all and SCREAMED through them all. My husband and I were convinced that our 1 month old hated swaddling despite everyone telling us “babies love to be swaddled.” My baby literally spent this past month sleeping on my chest through the night. Anyways, I finally tried the zen swaddle and I can finally put my baby down in his bassinet for naps and night time sleeping! He loves his hands so it’s so helpful that he is able to have his hands somewhat out when he’s sleeping but still feel snug enough and weighted down enough to prevent the startle reflex and for comfort. He only sleeps about 1.5 to 2 hour increments at a time but oh my goodness is it a huge change from immediate screams and cries as soon as we put him down without it. LIFE SAVER!!!
Christina R.
I was really hopeful that the straps inside would contain my very feisty newborn who is intent on breaking out of any swaddle situation. They didn’t. They do hold him longer than a wrap but he’s just that strong or tenacious. Or both. The suit is a little long and I have to constantly adjust to keep the entire sack below his chin. I wish it was more effective for helping him sleep but we just have a very difficult child I suppose.
Lauren P.
We bought the zen one classic for our newborn. When it arrived the Velcro on the inside secure band was half ripped off. After contacting the company on Facebook they immediately sent me a new one. We have been using the zen one with our daughter since she was a week old ( she’s now 4 weeks) and it has been a life saver! She went from waking every hour to now sleeping 4 hour stretches at a time! We love the functionality of this product and how versatile it is! Would highly recommend!
Monica L.
My 3-month-old had never managed to sleep for more than an hour, unless she was in bed with me. By the third day in her new Zen sack, she slept for three hours in her bassinet!
Jodie M.
Love it!
Jodie M.
Baby girl loves it!
Jessica Y.
We now have two children and both of them have loved all of the Nested Bean products. Our 11 week old daughter seriously sleeps from 9pm to 9am (with a 5am feed) with this sleep sack. We tried swaddling her with her hands down but she likes her hands up by her head. So be sure to try the different options, even for newborns. I tell everyone about this company and have gifted quite a few. As any parent knows sleep is precious so anything that helps a baby sleeps for longer is amazing. Also for those who nurse, I can nurse my baby while she’s in this with no problems.
Victorya B.
I’m a mama of 3 and wish I had gotten this with the other 2 when they were babies! My daughter loves it! She is 10 weeks old- we started using it around 8 weeks. She can put herself to sleep with it on and sleeps 6 hours straight, feeds and back to sleep for another 4 hours. The material is soft and stretchy, not too hot or cold. Definitely recommend!
Chalon D.
I really wanted to love this swaddle. Its effective as a swaddle but didn't help either of my boys sleep any greater length which was what I was primarily looking for. If you have a baby that gets out of swaddles easily this is effective in keeping them confined and wrapped tightly.
Kali C.
The 1st night we got it she immediately slept 4 hours straight which was amazing considering what we were getting. Sadly the 4 hour stretch only happens the 1st part of the night but then its every 2 hours after that.
corinne g.
My daughter isn’t a good sleeper and this makes her feel a bit more secure and gives us a stretch of sleep.
Joey G.
After day 2 my baby got use to wearing it to go to sleep. Once I zip it up he’s out like a light. Would 100% recommend !!
Andrea O.
Really liked the quality of this. I feel it’s a great concept to transition to arms out swaddle. Unfortunately, it was too narrow for cloth diaper to fit. Would definitely recommend otherwise.
Kayla M.
I cannot say enough great things about the Nested Bean sleep sacks. We have twin boys and went through several brands before trying the Zen One. They are worth every penny! As soon as we zip them in their sacks, they start snoring! Such an amazing product!
Marina R.
My baby now sleeps 8 pm to 4 am at 3 months old! The first night he wore his Zen we got 2 extra hours of sleep and I couldn't be more thankful
Jessica M.
I am so in love with the zen one. I bought the 0-3 months based on her weight, and unfortunately by the time I got it, she had already grown out of it. I luckily was able to gift it to a cousin. My daughter sleeps so good with this and I love how easy it is to get her in and out! I tried it with the arms for a week and then removed them. She has done so well. By far the best swaddle/sack I have used so far.
Munkhtsatsral e.
I don’t really see any difference in my sons sleep with the Swaddled or not
Sandra S.
I love the idea especially with the newborn band. I wanted it for our 7 week old to contain his arms when he sleeps but he's too big for the newborn band and the little arm pockets are also too small for him too sleep comfortable. (I purchased the 3-6mo size). I returned it but will try it again with a newborn!
Jason P.
The stitching ripped out in the bean and the beads/filling spilled out...it worked well up until it was washed, per the instructions. The damage has rendered it useless and our baby girl no longer sleeps through the night.
Sarah B.
It’s okay. Works as a swaddle but not better than Halo Swaddle.
Kristyn S.
Love this! Baby sleeps so much better through the night, no more waking to the slightest sound. Before I was up constantly soothing him back to sleep or replacing the paci, now he doesn’t even make a peep! Will definitely be getting larger ones as he grows!
Fiorella S.
After reading a lot of reviews about this product, I finally gave it a chance. I had an initial issue with my first swaddle, however, the company's customer service is great! They were able to resolve my issue in no time. My daughter loves this product! We currently have the zen swaddle. It is easier to get her to sleep through the night with it hands down. Will definitely recommend it and will try other products by nested bean.
McKenzie C.
It took a month to get this sleep sack delivered to my door. We ended up missing a lot of crucial developmental use out of it when my daughter was younger. I wish there was more room to keep her arms by her side if she wants versus only keeping them in the breakaway sleeves. We will still use it until she outgrows it, but don’t know if the shipping hassle has been worth it.
ZULEY S.
At the beginning my almost 4 month old wasn’t having it but after she realized that she could have her arms out but still feel snug she loved it. She now sleeps long hours through the night and even nap time. Rest feels fantastic.

Game CHANGER!!
Baby girl went from sleeping 2-3 hours at a time to 5-8 hours instantly! This Mom approves!
She loves her hands up by her face, so this is the ONLY sack that has worked for her. And the weighted chest calms her so well. We’re able to lay her in her bassinet without her waking up since she’s so snug. Love, love, LOVE!
Louisa R.
Love the concept but my kid self soothes with one of her hands and she has rubbed part of her face so it’s red and getting raw. The mesh sleeves are not soft which is a disappointment.
Angie P.
It works great.
Erica A.
With my son we used a different but similar style swaddle but my daughter sucks her thumb so this has been amazing
Nicole T.
I’ve been using it almost every night (sometimes it’s in the laundry) and it works pretty well. I did not use the arm closure zipper after a couple night because my baby did not look comfortable. He sleeps good but still awakens every couple hours and if he’s awakened it does take a few tries to put him back down to sleep in his bassinet. So instead of the arms inside the zipper closure I use a separate muslin swaddle blanket to wrap him in again. So it’s double swaddle but he seems comfy. I had baby wear short sleeved button crotch top and he doesn’t look too warm which is good. Last night I noticed the material was ripped, it was disappointing that this swaddle doesn’t withstand normal wear after a few weeks. I probably would recommend to get more than one if that’s a problem for other parents.

We welcomed our first baby in mid March of this year. She was incredibly fussy, crying constantly, and would only sleep if we held her. Needless to say, this led to many tears and sleepless nights. She did not like her arms swaddled because she likes to hold them to her face 24/7. My mom ordered her the Zen One Classic on a whim because it would allow us to swaddle her and maintain her arms the way she likes them. Our baby slept so much better and we ordered the next size up as soon as she outgrew her newborn one.
I also want to commend Nested Bean for their incredible customer service. Our second Zen One Classic had a defect where a hole appeared in the seam below the zipper less than a month after receiving it. I sent an email to customer service asking how we might send it back for a replacement. They were prompt and professional in their response, asking for more details and photos of the problem area. Less than 24 hours later and I was notified that they were sending us a brand new sack. I am so grateful that our little one won’t have to go without hers while we wait for a new one to arrive. Nested Bean has a lifetime customer and I will be recommending them to all of my friends! Thank you!
Leah F.
Love how snug this keeps my daughter. She is now rolling over so all we have to do is unzip the arms for her to sleep safely. Great transitional swaddle!
Christine H.
Before buying Nested bean Zen one my baby doesn’t go for nap in his crib. After I bought Zen one my son can go for day nap for 1hr or more which didn’t happened before. This product helped my son to sleep on his own. Highly recommended!!!
Sara G.
Love it!! My daughter loves to suck on her hands so this was perfect!
Kristina P.
My baby went from waking every 2 hours to every 4 once we transitioned to the zen one.
Ayla B.
Our daughter loves this! We put her in it everytime she sleeps. She's starting to sleep up to 6 hours at night!
Sarah T.
My little girl (3 months) loves the nested bean! We took off the little mesh arms immediately, and she transitioned from a swaddle to the nested bean zen without any major hiccups. I would say to buy a larger size if your baby is at the tail end of the weight limit. I initially purchased the 0-3 months based on my daughter’s weight, but had to get the 3-6 due to length. Nested Bean customer service was incredible to work with, however, and I will be purchasing again and again!
Markie M.
We love Nested Bean! This is our 3rd product from them. Super happy with their products
Maureen B.
I was worried about transitioning from a swaddle, but this is perfect! My little one likes holding his arms up, and this allows him to. He’s never been a great sleeper, but this has helped!
Beccah V.
I love this sleep sack! My baby boy has loved putting his hands up to his face since the womb & now he has a strong startle reflex, so the arms are perfect for him. Love the double zippers, weighted chest, and the comfortability and softness. So cute too!
Jenna F.
Was great to transition out of swaddle!
Elizabeth P.
My daughter has always loved sleeping with her arms up, so this was perfect when we transitioned her out of a swaddle. The removable arms helped her transition in just two nights and she sleeps at least 6 hours!
Anna F.
Libby has LOVED her sleep sack. We love that she doesn't wake herself with her arms and hands, and she loves that she can self-soothe through the mesh! The material is so soft and it doesn't make her too hot in the night. She's a happy little nested bean!
Emalie T.
I think my daughter likes this weighted sleep sack, but the arms are a bit small for her and she’s on the petite side of 5mo. I know it’s supposed to fit close so that it’s not a hazard, but she gets little indentations from the seams...
Daisy C.
Material is super soft and comfy! I love that it also stretches when baby stretches her legs out, to the side and even up in the air. The weighted owl in the front and the sides is also super comforting !
Alysha M.
Love love this swaddle!! My 3 month old son sleeps all night! This mama is very happy to be getting more sleep!
Katrina H.
This makes our 3rd nested bean sack. We’ve tried literally all of the sleep sacks and though none are perfect we feel this is the best for our sweet girl. I will say I did write an email before we bought a bigger size complaining about the Velcro because our daughter kept escaping. That is one thing that I noticed is a constant issue with these is that the band/Velcro gets stretched out. But we still use them every night and love the product.
Samantha C.
I loved the Zen One swaddle that I purchased for my 3 month old baby, and she loves it, too!! She self soothes by sucking on her hands so the mesh arms-up design was perfect for her. However, I just noticed that one of the pockets that holds the weighted beads on her left side must have broke open because the beads spread all over the front inside of her swaddle. I’m not sure how it happened because I wash it according to the instructions and she’s only been wearing it for about a month. The beads aren’t falling out of the swaddle and if I shake them to the side they go back in place but I am very disappointed about this because I loved the product at first.
Alaina A.
Helps baby sleep so well!
Catherine N.
Love this product, it has completely changed our baby’s sleeping. He is consistently sleeping for 6 hours at a time. The design of the swaddle is perfect for our very active sleeper who likes having his hands up. Will be buying these as he grows. So happy we found this.
Kaci F.
Great quality, however I bought per sizing instructions and it was too small. Wish I would have bought the 3-6 month even though my baby was 11 pounds.
Darcje B.
Tried this as my little guy was having trouble sleeping without someone holding him, and it was perfect! It’s gently weighted and he sleeps longer through the night now.
Hillary K.
Extremely impressed with how versatile this sleep sack is. My little one went from 4 hr stretches to 6-7 hours through the night at 3 months old. The quality is absolutely wonderful too! Highly recommend
Phyli E.
Our son is 5 weeks old and has had so much trouble staying asleep. I felt like I was running up and down the stairs all night trying to keep him asleep for longer than 20 minutes. I was losing my mind. This is day two of using our Nested Bean Zen One and we love it so much! It took 10 minutes for him to fall asleep and he has been asleep for 2 hours and still knocked out! No more startle reflex! Hoping it keeps working like this!
Lisa P.
Fits nicely, great material, durable, adds comfort to baby
Ami O.
I bought this out of desperation because my 3 week old was refusing to sleep in his crib. After about 2 weeks of wearing it nightly, he’s now sleeping in his crib at night for 2-3 hour stretches. Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the cost and how quickly I’ll need to purchase a larger one. He’s already almost too big for the one I just bought.
Lorena A.
Nested Bean swaddle has given my little one longer stretches of sleep, falls asleep instantly and calms him. I have a very strong fussy baby- he would take his arms out of any swaddle no matter how tight I wrapped him. He loves the nested bean !
Ashley W.
I love our Zen One! We have a few of them, to make sure we have one for every night. I love the lightly weighted chest for my baby, as I really think this helps soothe him. I also love that we can take the selves on and off for customization.
Alea L.
I thought it would help her sleep better but its about the same. The quality is really nice and i like the feature that lets her arms be up but we didn't have any different results than a normal swaddler .

This is incredible for babies who hate to be swaddled! My son has slept through the night (5-6 hours) the first night. He was 4 weeks old then, almost 9 weeks old now. Loved it so much I’ve bought another one.
Fardowza M.
It’s way too tight on my son.
Colleen M.
My little guy loved his nested bean zen one ! He was a fan of being swaddled and the extra weight made such a difference. The only think I wish was getting the 3-6 month size right away as he quickly grew out of the 0-3 month!
Tyler K.
Went from sleeping 2 hours at a time through the night, to 4-5 hours the first time we used it. I would highly recommend this product!
Samantha M.
I love this product. Not only that but when I receive my order it ripped with my daughter only using it for two days. They sent me a knew one completely free! The second one also ripped in the same spot but I believe it is from her kicking it. She is starting to get to small for it and I have no idea what to use
KIMBERLY J.
Stoped the twitches and kept him from scratching his face too! The mesh sleeves helped sooth him when he woke up and if that wasn't enough the weighted beans on the he chest kept him calm enough to sooth asleep without my assistance.
Megan V.
My baby loved this right away! He would wake up to feed every 2-3 hours through out the night. It took a week of wearing this every night and boom, he slept 5 hours and then the next week he slept for 7 hours! Now he’s sleeping through the night at 2 months old! I recommend this to everyone with a baby. It’s a lifesaver!!
Stacy N.
This sleep sack has been wonderful! Our 2 week old loves it and it seems to soothe her well. We plan on buying the next size up too!
Shelby W.
We love this sleeper. Our 3 week old sleeps so well and goes back to sleep so quickly after night feedings. We can’t wait to get more of these as he grows just wish they were a little more budget friendly.
Kara P.
Overall, I’m pleased with the swaddle. The weights soothed my daughter and she loved being able to have her hands by her face.
Pros
- weighting was soothing
- many ways to wear (hand by face, arms by sides, arms out)
- stretchy, comfortable fabric
- internal swaddle made it so my Houdini baby can’t break out of it
Cons
- too short for my tall daughter with no option for bigger sizes
- beads made it take longer to dry after washing
Alexandria H.
Love this product! The material is high quality and the sleep sack is well made. The gentle weight on the chest end wrap around the belly seem to help soothe him when I put it on in the evening. He seems to sleep for longer stretches at night when it is on.
Amy B.
My baby didn’t love it. Will try again another time still pretty fussy.
Allison G.
I was skeptical because our little guy was breaking out of all the Velcro swaddles on the market, but the snug zip up style of this one really works for us. Just wish the Zen One came in the next size up as well!
Miura C.
Amazing results within the first wear! Newborn sleeps longer throughout the night
Ashton W.
This is a life saver. My little one was sleeping okay at night, but waking up often and could only go back to sleep if I was touching him. He also would fight until he got his arms out of his swaddle, then startle himself awake once they were out. I had been seeing ads everywhere for this and finally ordered it (at 2:00 in the morning). After about three nights, he wasn’t waking as much and a bonus is that the Velcro wrap inside helped with his gas overnight! I bought the next size up soon after and am getting the next one soon. Now at bedtime, as soon as we put this on him, he knows it’s time for bed and is asleep in less than 10 minutes and sleeping almost through the night! 100% worth it!
Melba T.
Great for warmer weather. Perfect transition sack for our baby from a traditional "arms in" swaddle to eventually arms free. Did one arm free for a few weeks, then eventually both arms out. We tried a few transition products, and this worked the best! He still wakes himself up occasionally by his arms jerking suddenly in his sleep, but is usually able to self soothe back to sleep. Only issue is that the seam has torn open slightly about two inches below the zipper, and we've only owned the product for a month or so. Seems like a small enough hole I can sew it myself, but I was surprised by how quickly the seam came undone. Overall though, great product, best transition sleep sack for our baby going from arms in to eventually arms free. Would definitely recommend!
Danae B.
Works great! Soft, warm, easy to keep clean and baby sleeps great in it! It seems a little small though for a 3-6 month size I ordered
Brittany S.
Helps my 4 month old sleep 8 hours! Gives her room to wiggle but prevents her from startling herself awake!
Ashlei S.
It works great with making baby stay sleep and self soothing but the inner strap caused my baby not to be hungry during the night and he lost weiihht
Tara T.
Absolutely love the nested bean! We have a very active sleeper so this has helped with the startle reflex allowing her to sleep better and is as well.
Brenda S.
This was the first style we got and loved. The transition sack is the best for a first buy and the mesh arm cuffs are awesome because baby can suck on hands and they dry right up fast. My baby loved it she hated her arms beings swaddled down. Definately recommended.
Leslie S.
I loved it at first, but the wrap inside to swaddle the arms really tends to bunch up around the top of the shoulders for my baby. It’s also almost too snug; my baby is below the weight max for this suit and I have to fight it to zip up around him.
However, when it is on properly, he sleeps better than in any other sleep sack!
Lauren P.
Can’t recommend this enough! My one month old will sleep from 10 PM until 4 AM with us thing on!Mama gets sleep every night… It’s a win-win!
Faith S.
I really like the concept and baby seems to not mind the swaddle and sleeps well in it. Because she is tall, I wish the swaddle was a bit longer. She is going to outgrow it very quickly.
Also, it has only been washed gently twice and worn for a week and there is already a sizable hole in the bottom of it. Durability may be a slight issue. Otherwise, no complaints.
Annie I.
Our little guy was struggling to keep his hands in his traditional swaddle, he loves his hands up, but would startle himself awake with those same cute hands. I looked into this swaddle sack and decided to give it a shot. The first night he was mad about it, but he has loved it since. The weight on his chest and the option to have his hands up keep him happy.
He falls asleep quickly at night!
Caitlin W.
Honestly this has been a lifesaver. I was skeptical at first, but this thing works like a charm. Telling all my pregnant friends to add to their registry ASAP.
Suzanne F.
This is exactly what we needed to help our little one sleep better though the night. We love how versatile this is. We can keep her arms secured or let them come out. The design is super cute as well! Thank you so much for the perfect sleep tool!
Kassandra S.
I absolutely love this sleep sack! My boys know once they go in the sack it’s time for bed and I love that it helps them self soothe in case of any wake ups. 10/10 recommend.
Lindsey P.
Perfect! My daughter loves it!
Meka M.
I love it! Although I feel as though the sizes run too small. Daughter is 5 weeks and has to use the 3-6 month size.
Ashley B.
Love our nested bean! Our daughter is sleeping so much better
Ana V.
Loved the material , color , feel and the design! However , I feel for my baby it was too tight . Also , after a couple weeks of use it ripped from the bottom.
katie W.
Super soft fabric! Little one adjusted to it flawlessly and sleeps so well!
Brianna F.
We have the Zen One in two colors now. This swaddle is perfect for our son because he prefers his arms to be swaddled up. I really like that the hands are mesh (as he likes to suck on them) and it makes it feel more breathable. The Velcro band helps him feel secure and the slight weight to the swaddle has helped the transition from our arms to the crib. It used to take a few tries to get him down and now he will settle on his own. It’s been a great swaddle for us. He did need to wear the 3-6 month size early (he’s currently 2 months) because he’s pretty long and on the chunky side (13 lbs).
Karla G.
I really wanted to love this swaddle especially because my baby loves to sleep with his arms up when not swaddled. However, I ordered a small 0- 3 months due to his age and the weight recommendations (and I should say, I have a small baby) and the arm pockets seem too tight already. His arms barely fit in the mesh sleeves. The swaddle also seems tight around his middle after a few weeks. Maybe it would make a difference with a size up? I would go ahead and buy a bigger size if I was convinced or saw a clear difference in his sleep but I honestly think the other more classic arms down swaddles I own help more. Not sure but I am disappointed.
Kelsey K.
The perfect hug for our little guy!
Mallorie K.
Our 2 month old loves this! She sleeps so well. I bought this one because of the sleeves for her arms. She sleeps with both arms in them. It helps stop her startle reflex. Definitely buying the next size when she outgrows this one!
Richmond F.
Has been great baby been sleeping great!
Katie P.
Really love the weighted part and how snug it is (not too tight). It really makes my daughter feel secure. I also love that the swaddle band is inside of it because she is houdini and has managed her hands out of every other swaddle we've tried so I like that even on the rare occasion she gets her hands out, that they're still contained in the little soother sleeves instead if in her face (waking herself up). I do wish the zipper was a little different somehow. I struggle to get the lite egg centered on her and wish maybe the neck of it was a little lower so i didn't feel like it was near her face (not in a dangerous way, but more that it aggravates her occasionally)
Tracy T.
This swaddle has nice fabric with intricate stitching and cute design. Unfortunately it does not fit our 3 months old baby who weighs 16 lbs. She is consider big for her age and the swaddle is too short and too tight on her although I bought the largest size that is suppose to fit up to 18 lbs for 3-6 months old. When I contacted customer service, they advised me to buy the vest instead. This just defeat the purpose as my baby really need swaddle more than anything, After forcing it on her for a week, I gave up trying. If only they will make this swaddle bigger for kids above 98th percentile.
Brittany B.
I want this to sound as real as possible because I’m always skeptical when I read reviews that sound “too good to be true” but this swaddle has literally changed my baby’s sleeping habits. I have gone through so many different swaddles, including just keeping it simple with a muslin swaddle blanket and my boy refused them all and SCREAMED through them all. My husband and I were convinced that our 1 month old hated swaddling despite everyone telling us “babies love to be swaddled.” My baby literally spent this past month sleeping on my chest through the night. Anyways, I finally tried the zen swaddle and I can finally put my baby down in his bassinet for naps and night time sleeping! He loves his hands so it’s so helpful that he is able to have his hands somewhat out when he’s sleeping but still feel snug enough and weighted down enough to prevent the startle reflex and for comfort. He only sleeps about 1.5 to 2 hour increments at a time but oh my goodness is it a huge change from immediate screams and cries as soon as we put him down without it. LIFE SAVER!!!
Christina R.
I was really hopeful that the straps inside would contain my very feisty newborn who is intent on breaking out of any swaddle situation. They didn’t. They do hold him longer than a wrap but he’s just that strong or tenacious. Or both. The suit is a little long and I have to constantly adjust to keep the entire sack below his chin. I wish it was more effective for helping him sleep but we just have a very difficult child I suppose.
Lauren P.
We bought the zen one classic for our newborn. When it arrived the Velcro on the inside secure band was half ripped off. After contacting the company on Facebook they immediately sent me a new one. We have been using the zen one with our daughter since she was a week old ( she’s now 4 weeks) and it has been a life saver! She went from waking every hour to now sleeping 4 hour stretches at a time! We love the functionality of this product and how versatile it is! Would highly recommend!
Monica L.
My 3-month-old had never managed to sleep for more than an hour, unless she was in bed with me. By the third day in her new Zen sack, she slept for three hours in her bassinet!
Jodie M.
Love it!
Jodie M.
Baby girl loves it!
Jessica Y.
We now have two children and both of them have loved all of the Nested Bean products. Our 11 week old daughter seriously sleeps from 9pm to 9am (with a 5am feed) with this sleep sack. We tried swaddling her with her hands down but she likes her hands up by her head. So be sure to try the different options, even for newborns. I tell everyone about this company and have gifted quite a few. As any parent knows sleep is precious so anything that helps a baby sleeps for longer is amazing. Also for those who nurse, I can nurse my baby while she’s in this with no problems.
Victorya B.
I’m a mama of 3 and wish I had gotten this with the other 2 when they were babies! My daughter loves it! She is 10 weeks old- we started using it around 8 weeks. She can put herself to sleep with it on and sleeps 6 hours straight, feeds and back to sleep for another 4 hours. The material is soft and stretchy, not too hot or cold. Definitely recommend!
Chalon D.
I really wanted to love this swaddle. Its effective as a swaddle but didn't help either of my boys sleep any greater length which was what I was primarily looking for. If you have a baby that gets out of swaddles easily this is effective in keeping them confined and wrapped tightly.
Kali C.
The 1st night we got it she immediately slept 4 hours straight which was amazing considering what we were getting. Sadly the 4 hour stretch only happens the 1st part of the night but then its every 2 hours after that.
corinne g.
My daughter isn’t a good sleeper and this makes her feel a bit more secure and gives us a stretch of sleep.
Joey G.
After day 2 my baby got use to wearing it to go to sleep. Once I zip it up he’s out like a light. Would 100% recommend !!
Andrea O.
Really liked the quality of this. I feel it’s a great concept to transition to arms out swaddle. Unfortunately, it was too narrow for cloth diaper to fit. Would definitely recommend otherwise.
Kayla M.
I cannot say enough great things about the Nested Bean sleep sacks. We have twin boys and went through several brands before trying the Zen One. They are worth every penny! As soon as we zip them in their sacks, they start snoring! Such an amazing product!
Marina R.
My baby now sleeps 8 pm to 4 am at 3 months old! The first night he wore his Zen we got 2 extra hours of sleep and I couldn't be more thankful
Jessica M.
I am so in love with the zen one. I bought the 0-3 months based on her weight, and unfortunately by the time I got it, she had already grown out of it. I luckily was able to gift it to a cousin. My daughter sleeps so good with this and I love how easy it is to get her in and out! I tried it with the arms for a week and then removed them. She has done so well. By far the best swaddle/sack I have used so far.
Munkhtsatsral e.
I don’t really see any difference in my sons sleep with the Swaddled or not
Sandra S.
I love the idea especially with the newborn band. I wanted it for our 7 week old to contain his arms when he sleeps but he's too big for the newborn band and the little arm pockets are also too small for him too sleep comfortable. (I purchased the 3-6mo size). I returned it but will try it again with a newborn!
Jason P.
The stitching ripped out in the bean and the beads/filling spilled out...it worked well up until it was washed, per the instructions. The damage has rendered it useless and our baby girl no longer sleeps through the night.
Sarah B.
It’s okay. Works as a swaddle but not better than Halo Swaddle.
Kristyn S.
Love this! Baby sleeps so much better through the night, no more waking to the slightest sound. Before I was up constantly soothing him back to sleep or replacing the paci, now he doesn’t even make a peep! Will definitely be getting larger ones as he grows!
Fiorella S.
After reading a lot of reviews about this product, I finally gave it a chance. I had an initial issue with my first swaddle, however, the company's customer service is great! They were able to resolve my issue in no time. My daughter loves this product! We currently have the zen swaddle. It is easier to get her to sleep through the night with it hands down. Will definitely recommend it and will try other products by nested bean.
McKenzie C.
It took a month to get this sleep sack delivered to my door. We ended up missing a lot of crucial developmental use out of it when my daughter was younger. I wish there was more room to keep her arms by her side if she wants versus only keeping them in the breakaway sleeves. We will still use it until she outgrows it, but don’t know if the shipping hassle has been worth it.
ZULEY S.
At the beginning my almost 4 month old wasn’t having it but after she realized that she could have her arms out but still feel snug she loved it. She now sleeps long hours through the night and even nap time. Rest feels fantastic.
