My baby loves this. Definitely makes him sleep better

We absolutely love this sleep suit! Have been using for about 2 weeks now and wish we would have found it sooner. After two days, my daughter went from 2-3 nighttime wakes to just one...every night since we made the switch. We’ve had two occasions where she slept through the night completely. The other part I love is that she falls back asleep so much easier after a feed in this suit. No fussing and back to sleeping peacefully within minutes. Initially, I didn’t want to spent money on another product as I really didn’t think it would make a difference, I’m so glad I did. Totally worth it and plan to order the next size up when she’s ready to transition.

It’s a well built product & well thought out. It just doesn’t provide the level of comfort to the child as advertised. We still struggle to calm down each night. It has been helpful in transitioning out of a swaddle. My little is not ready for his arms to be out completely so the mesh sleeves help with this.

My little girl loves to sleep with her arms up by her head, but is still small enough where her hands/arms continue to wake her up if not swaddled. I was so excited to give it a try and she loves it!
Jerry T.
We love this! My son was fussy at bedtime before we got this. Now he fall asleep so quickly!!
Ashley C.
My baby is 2months old and we ordered this for her because she loves for us to pay her chest when she’s trying to fall asleep. We swaddle her arms down in this and pat the egg for just a minute and it helps relax her and she puts herself to sleep now.
Teri M.
The package was flattened and messed up. The actual swaddle wreaked of moth balls. It was a challenge to get my baby’s arms in the arm pockets. He was still able to move his arms around which didn’t help his flailing arms. I would rather his arms be completely immobile rather than restricted with room to move them around and it frustrate him.
Haleigh T.
I like that it helped the startle reflex and it’s easier to change diapers with than the classic but like with the classic swaddle we saw no improvement with sleep.
Jennifer I.
I tried 3 different swaddles with my son and this one worked like a dream for him. He’s 12 weeks old and has been sleeping through the night since we have started using this sleep sack!
Emily B.
Sizing is definitely off. My 11 lb boy barely fit in the newborn (although recommended for weight up to 13lbs) and was definitely uncomfortable in it. Switched him to the next size up. Only on 1 night of the larger size and he still seems to be trying to fight the sleep sack so we’ll see. Annoyed I wasted money on the one size.
Sheila D.
I wish it didn't have mesh sleeves. My baby likes to rub her face and the mesh is way too abrasive on her skin. It has caused rashes by her ears, so I had to sew fabric on the sleeves to prevent the rashes from worsening.
She sleeps well overall in it, which is why I haven't stopped using it and just made my own adjustments.
Anna S.
This is easily the highest quality swaddle sack I've ever tried, and I've tried a lot! The material is soft and stretchy, it washes very well, and the mesh wings dry quickly after baby sucks/spits up on them. I honestly can't say it made an appreciable difference in my baby's sleep, but she didn't really have a sleep issue to begin with. But this product is great for babies who self soothe with their hands and like to sleep with hands up by the face in general. It's versatile and well worth the cost!
Diandra M.
My 5 week old hates swaddled
The zenone has been very helpful in getting her to sleep soundly. She slept though most of the night in it. I just wish it came in bigger sizes as I have a bigger baby. At 5 weeks she's wearing the 3-6 month sleeper
Poonam C.
Overall great item, baby sleeps least extra hour or two since we started using it. Only downfall, doesn't fit snug so rises up to face which is a concern so only been using during day to monitor incase rises and we need to fix. Would love to use at night to increase night sleep time.
Sharon W.
I just got the Zen One for my 2.5 month old. It hasn't helped him sleep for longer periods (he was already sleeping 3-5 hours at a time) at night yet, but it has helped him sleep longer at nap times (increased from 30 min to ~1.5 hours). And it's made him to where he can sleep in his bassinet at night, instead of next to me, which is fantastic! My only complaint is that the mesh arm sacks are a bit small, it's kinda hard to cram his fat arms in. Also would love to see a bigger size up, as he is already 15+lbs and is really snug in it, I don't see it fitting him for more than a month or so.
3/6 month size
Megan C.
My little guy would barely sleep for 2 hours at a time before getting the Nested Bean Zen One Classic. He liked being swaddled, but wants his hands up by his face! His first night in the Zen One, he slept for 5 hours straight, nursed, and then went right back to sleep for another 3 hours! Not only did his sleep stretches get longer, but I was able to lay him down while he was still awake. He just drifted off to sleep completely on his own!
Stephanie G.
My baby sleeps so well in this. I've tried other swaddles and this is the best. Very soft, easy to put on. I love the bottom zipper for diaper changes and the option to do arms down or up.
Kalina B.
My son loves sleeping with his hands by his face and refuses to be swaddled with his arms down. This sleep sack is the perfect solution! I was skeptical but desperate to find a solution. He goes to sleep quicker and sleeps an hour longer (so far). It runs really small. My 1 month old is busting out of the 0-3 month size. I purchased the 3-6 month as well and will probably have to switch to it soon!
Christa L.
He falls asleep quickly and for longer stretches! We will be buying more of these products
Madhuri P.
It hasn't made a lot of difference in my little ones sleep. I was so excited reading all the reviews but I'm one of those it didn't work for.
Andrea C.
It smelled gross (like old moth balls).. and I washed it 3x and the smell is still there! Plus my daughter hates it.
Aybree P.
Currently my son uses the love to dream swaddle up. We ordered the nested bean zenone sac so he could keep his arms up, but have the added weighted feel. He is very uncomfortable with the arm design in this sac- he cries and cries until i take him out or remove the arms. He still startles with his arms out so we aren’t able to use these yet and I ordered two. Hopefully he doesn’t outgrow them.
Grace P.
Can’t rate the product because it hasn’t arrived yet! I know the USPS is experiencing a significant backlog but I ordered the sleep sack 3+ weeks ago and still don’t have it. I’m growing concerned that it will arrive in time for my daughter to wear it for only a couple weeks before she outgrows it.
Cheryl R.
My grandson loves the 2 different ones we ordered. These were suggested by a co-worker who had purchased 2. They're a little pricey but well worth the money.
Victoria S.
My son sleeps better with it. He doesn’t sleep longer but he definitely needs it to sleep comfortably. Customer service is awesome!
Emily J.
Definitely worth buying!
Emilie S.
I like it but the screen at the hands are already starting to stretch and be damaged. I thought at this price it would be better. Also, the zipper often hits the bottom of his face. My baby got 2 tiny scratches from it. Other than that it's ok
Richie Mae E.
This was really tight for my 2 month old. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be tight but it looks like my baby isn’t comfortable.
Erin F.
I have tried every swaddle on the market. We literally have 2 drawers full. My 2.5 month old HATES swaddling. And not just sort of hates it, but would get so worked up trying to fight his way out nap and sleep time was just exhausting for both of us!! He hates having his arms constricted, but between his reflex and being a wiggly baby he would constantly wake himself up. I came across nested bean and figured I didn’t have anything to lose. We started using it about a week ago, and definitely have seen improvement! He isn’t necessarily a dream sleeper, but I can tell that he loves the arm pockets way better than the traditional secured arms, and he is starting to learn how to self settle when he starts to stir. I definitely believe that the cuddle effect works. For us it was not an overnight miracle, it has taken him some time to get used to. But we are staying consistent with it and see changes every day! If you have had issues with swaddling or a difficult sleeper, this product is 100% worth the try!
Anna K.
Initially I did not really like the product. My daughter cried a lot when I put it on her. But then I removed the side panels with weight and now she sleeps in it. I do not think the weight does any difference for her but who knows.
I should also mention that the sleeves are a bit small. There are not much space for even bent little arms.
Jamie W.
Little man loves his sleep sack. We used the Velcro band in the beginning to keep his arms down and he was staying in it well. I started letting his arms go into the arm pieces and he still gets the same good night’s rest. The reason I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 is because the product is fairly expensive and I have to wash it almost every day due to him spitting up a little after he eats. Overall, we love the product and would recommend to any moms and babes who want a good quality swaddle!
Shelby H.
My 3 week old HATED being swaddled the traditional way. Her startle reflex was waking her up and I was desperate to find something that would help. The Nested Bean worked like a charm.
Charlee S.
My new born was having issues sleeping at night. We were up about every hour with her. I was at my wits end and saw an ad for these and said I have to try it! We did and she sleeps at least 6 hours a night! What a huge help these were for her! Absolutely love these!
Jennifer S.
We love the nested bean! Our baby is sleeping so much better and mom and dad and feeling rested too!
Cindy E.
I bought this for my new grandson and he has slept soundly in it from day 1! My son and daughter-in-law swear by it and are so thankful for the gift of sleep!!
Felicia B.
Full disclosure, this didn’t help my baby sleep more or longer at night, but I’m pretty sure she’s just difficult. It DID however take us putting her down at night from taking 3 hours to a solid 30 minutes. That itself is awesome. Material is soft and seems to hold up well! Definitely worth a try if baby struggles in the sleep department.
Jessica N.
My son (now 4 months) has been in the zen one since he was 2 months old. He went from sleeping 5 hrs a night to 8-10 hrs once we transitioned to the zen one swaddle. The material is durable and soft and holds up nicely to being washed. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a swaddle for their little one.
Laura R.
Zipper keeps pinching my poor baby!
Kara S.
My daughter is at the hands in the mouth phase and it’s nearly impossible to keep her in a swaddle, but she obviously is more calm with her arms in close. I like the flexibility of the arm holes. Only downside is she would suck her hands and rub that fabric on her cheeks. Cheeks got irritated but I don’t blame the product. She slept great and could self soothe better. I took off one, then two arm zippers and cheeks have been fine now. Little more trouble with her taking the paci out and fussing. Think it’s just normal territory for transitioning out of the swaddle. Overall I would recommend this product. I like the inside Velcro wrap it helps keep the sleep sack from riding up.
Chelsea J.
These sleep sack are great! The first night we used this, our 2 month old slept for 8 hours straight! I would recommend for a great transition piece for getting your babe out of a swaddle.
Elisabeth T.
This changed his sleep!! It took a full 3 nights for him to get used to it but after that he started sleeping in his crib every night for 2-3 hour stretches and now he practically sleeps thru the night less than a month later and hes just now 3 months old. I didnt really want his face in the photo but thought it was necessary to show how peacefully he sleeps in this. I was skeptical at first but am convinced now and will keep him in these from now on!
Angela A.
BUY this don’t buy the snoo! This is the only sleep sack you will need!!my son was doing 9 hours straight at 2.5 months (:
Whitney C.
Soooo...this suit definitely does the trick with my baby that hates having her arms swaddled down at her sides and I love the zip off wings. Been using I think 2 weeks now and it has NOT yet helped with the duration or her sleep, but it HAS made it easier to relax her enough to go to sleep. My one major concern is that I cannot keep it from riding up and I woke up a few nights ago hearing her gasp for air. The suit was choking her. I have still been using it, but have to keep it unzipped a few inches down and just fold the corners down and make sure she is supervised. If she wears it throughout the night I make sure she sleeps right next to me because this raises nerves a bit. Other than that I would have given 5 stars
Amanda G.
Worked like a charm - our daughter sleeps a lot better since using it.
Jessica D.
I absolutely love the product. The mesh on the arms is great! My baby can suck on that area and it's easy to wash. Also the packaging is one of the best I've ever seen.
Debra B.
Still have not received the item . The first one I ordered I received but the tan one inhave not gotten maybe with holiday its lost
Stephanie G.
This swaddle is amazing! The second night I used it my son slept for 7 hours and now sleeps soundly through the night. Best purchase I have ever made!
Brittney S.
Our nights have changed since we started using Nested Bean! Our baby loves the weight on the chest & sleeps so much better at night. It also calms him during the day if he’s being fussy. We love it, 10/10! We’ve already recommended to a few mom-to-be’s!
Jenny Z.
My girl is on the small side for her age but this seems pretty tight and small on her. Otherwise we really like it.
Crystal B.
The first night out baby slept 6 straight hours, she woke to eat and went back to sleep for an additional 2.5 hours!! She has never slept more than 4 hours at a time!
Cori B.
Order the blue one and received pink but other then that it works great!
Jocelyn W.
My daughter is sleeping for longer stretches and likes the fact that she can still reach her face and mouth.
Jocelyn W.
My daughter is sleeping for longer stretches now. She loves that she can still get her hands to her face and mouth.
Katy N.
We purchased the weighted swaddle for our little girl and we LOVED it! But now that’s she is getting stronger she can break out of it. So I purchased the Zen One to slowly transition her to a sleep sack and we are loving it! I am able to keep one are in the band and one arm in the sleeve as we transition her to 2 arms in sleeves and then no sleeves. I love it!
Cathy S.
My son (2 months old) didn’t like to sleep unless he was held. The sleep sacks didn’t seem to help much, so I tried out Nested Bean and I wish I bought more!! My son loves that he can move his arms, but he is secure enough that he doesn’t startle awake. I purchased the traditional and the one with mesh sleeves. Since he’s a newborn he only uses the one with sleeves right now. So far so good!!!
Lindi W.
Our son’s startle reflex was so strong from the start and once he grew out of his velcro swaddles we needed something that could grow with him! We tried so many and finally decided to try the zen swaddle and the first night he slept 5 hours straight and then 7 the next night. It was a life saver. I now gift this to any friend/coworker expecting because I loved it so much!
Tierra S.
My 4 month old loves it. She would fight her sleep every night and now since she’s been wearing the Zen One sack she goes to sleep in a few minutes tops.
Caroline W.
Read that this would be a life changer and that the baby would sleep way better. Unfortunately that has not been the case for us.
Kathleen K.
I’m a foster placement for a substance exposed infant. He is a precious little guy but has a very low startle point and was constantly waking himself.
The Zen One is perfect for him! It calms him the minute I place him in it. He sleeps really well and is snug and happy being hugged by his little sleep suit!
I highly recommend the Zen One!
Amanda C.
I purchased this swaddle because my newborns sleep cycle was off. She would be wide awake after her 8pm feeding so I invested in this. Definitely worth it! The ONLY negative I have is when we have her arms tucked inside in the bands, the zipped sleeve part seems to ride up into her neck/chin/face, otherwise, this was worth every penny!
Karina D.
My 3 month old has been consistently been woken up by coming out of his DOUBLE swaddle since he loves to kick and move around which obviously wakes him up. This swaddle keeps him snug and doesn't allow him to wake himself up. I was skeptical but willing to try anything and lo and behold this swaddle did the trick and he has been sleeping soundly since!
Ismary S.
Its okay not a big thing
Renee D.
7 weeks old and sleeping 7 hours a night with her Zen One! She loves it and so do we!
JB R.
My son loves it! Finally sleeping alone since buying!
Gabriela S.
I decided to give this a try for my 3 month baby but fit a bit snug due to her weight. I recommend the sleeping sack if your baby is on the chunky side. These work wonders!
Janet H.
I bought as a gift. Mother really likes it.
Mikayla C.
My little guy started trying to roll over so we took the arms off and from the very first night he slept all the way through the night without any problems. We have tried a few sleep sacks but this sleep sack is by far my favorite, and his favorite as well.
Stephanie W.
My two month old granddaughter sleepless nights were kicking my son and daughter-in-law behind. I saw this product on my Facebook feed and decided to give it a try. The VERY FIRST NIGHT in the weighted swaddle she slept a full 5 hours.
This company’s customer service gets a A from me. I an email with a question. They called me back immediately and answered my questions.
Robbie M.
I bought this for my grandson. He sleeps very well with this
abby d.
Instantly calms her down and keeps her sleeping longer!
Ashley M.
Our baby is finally sleeping unswaddled! We had tried everything and she would wake up the minute we laid her down if her arms were out of the swaddle. Thankfully a friend recommended your transition swaddle blanket and it worked the first night! We love it!
Angela a.
We love this swaddle! It’s very helpful as the baby become more aware and mobile!
Brittany H.
Our little guy hated being swaddled from the very beginning. We didn't think it was an issue except that he couldn't be put down because he would startle himself awake. We tried blanket swaddles and velcro swaddles which worked but he HATED them! He liked getting his hands up by his face so we decided to try the ZenOne. First night in, be fell right asleep when put down and was far less restless throughout the night. Love, love, love!!!
I will say, be cautious with sizing. I am glad I got the 3-6 month because our little chunk, even though he was only 6 weeks when we purchased it, fills it out pretty well already. He is 13lbs 8oz and it's snug on him even though it says up to 18lbs. I will definitely never dry it. Hopefully he will not need the arm restriction much longer and we can move up to the sleep sack.
Jacinta H.
The zen one swaddle has helped to increase most of his naps from 30minutes to 2 hours in his cot. However we have just entered a sleep regression so no improvement on night time sleeps yet and we still have the 30minute naps once or twice a day. I’m hoping once the sleep regression is over his sleeps will improve!
Abby D.
While I think this product is great, the quality is not. I used it for 4 days and washed it once and it got a hole. Pretty disappointing for the price tag
KIRSTEN C.
Love it but the arms seem really tiny - almost to the point that my son can’t relax them comfortably (compared to other brand arms up sleeper). Even though he’s just barely 0-3 in other clothes, I just purchased the next size up to see if that’s a better fit.
Molly R.
Ordered the zen one in newborn size for my sweetie. He slept really well. It has all the features of various other swaddle/sleep sacks in one. We also ordered two more in the next size up. Good to have a back up in case of blowouts, etc.
Mary M.
I followed the exact instructions using a garment bag to wash before use, however all the beans spilled out of the bean on the first wash.
Amanda M.
I loved the idea of the weighted sleep sac, I can’t say that it has made a difference in my littles sleep certainly not as advertised and very disappointed that after only two months it already has a large hole at the bottom of the sac.
April W.
This thing has been such a blessing! My son has slept all through the night since we got it! If he doesn’t have it on, he wakes up! I’d recommend this to anyone!!!!!
Ashley T.
I'm so happy that the zen one has really worked for us and my son. If your baby is anything like mine that is a clinger and wants to be held all the time and of course sleeping on you just to get some rest then this is worth every penny. First night he woke up only twice, second night and third slept through the night. we tried the whole swaddle thing he hated his arms being constricted so much this gives more options also he used to spit up in his sleep that's the whole reason we started letting him sleep upright on our chest now so far no spit ups since he is so content with it on. love this product hope my story helps other parents !!
Maureen A.
My little one is DIFFICULT to say the least. We tried every swaddle on the market. I had the nested bean sleep sack from when my son needed help sleeping (also a great buy!) but with her arms being free at only 8 weeks old she would startle super easy. She loves having her hands by her face so seeing this swaddle had the best of both worlds we couldn’t wait to try it. The first day she slept 2-3hr stretches on her own which was heaven to mom and dad who were happy to sleep flat for once. The next night she slept 5hrs straight. She still has a hard time some nights settling but for the most part this swaddle has been a lifesaver for us. The best part is it’s convertible in the future to the sleep sack so the $40 price tag is more than worth it for sleep and sanity.
Madeleine E.
Very easy to use. Baby boy is getting used to the transition from arms in to arms out. The weighted setting makes it easy for him to fall asleep.
Crystal S.
My daughter loves her sleep sack!!! I used to only use it at night but I started using it during nap time too when she wouldn't nap for very long stretches. Once I started using it for naps she immediately started sleeping for at least 2 hours. I love it too!
Amanda D.
We loved our zen one, it has been great to start the transition from swaddle to sleep sack. I would give 5 stars but the mesh arms are already showing a fair amount of wear after 1 week of use (runs, broken strands of elastic) and to be honest I expected a bit higher quality for the price point.
Sara B.
The newborn size seemed too tight but he nearly instantly calms and falls to sleep. I ordered the next size up to see if it looked more comfortable for him but it seems a little on the loose side but still works for our needs. So glad we discovered these! Regular Velcro swaddles didn’t cut it even when we tried wrapping him with an arm out or up. These made all the difference and he doesn’t seem to mind the tighter newborn at all.
Jolene S.
My newborns arms escaped from the inside straps too easily, we had to move to another swaddle unfortunately. I do, however, think this will be a great sleep sack when she graduates from the swaddle if she still fits.
Chelsea M.
Scary how quickly this product worked for us! The son was sleeping better as soon as we started using the Zen swaddle. It worked so well we bought another one.
Britney A.
We purchased the zen one swaddle for our 10 week old. This is a very high quality product and made very well. We have been using for nearly 2 weeks but have not noticed any change in his ability to sleep for longer durations or less night wakings. He has been attempting to self soothe with his fist however and we plan to continue to use this swaddle to transition him into a sleep sack (arms free) when appropriate.
Bridgett D.
We LOVE the zen one. Baby has loved to be swaddled since day one but, when we outgrew our other brand ones we decided to go with the zen one. She has been sleeping through the night, only waking up once to nurse, since we started using it. She instantly settles down as soon as she is zipped into it!
Kirstyn R.
My baby loves her zen sack swaddle. She calms right down in it.
Clarice S.
My son wouldn't sleep in his bassinet because he would startle and wake up and also he hated his hands being swaddled too. With this sleep sack I was able to get him to sleep no problem the only thing is when he wakes up I have to get him out of it before he has a meltdown. In my opinion this is worth the purchase and I ordered the next size up too will be using for as long as I can!
Jonathan P.
Prior to using this we were lucky to have our son sleep maybe 2 hours. Now he wakes up half way through the night for feeding and diaper change. This was a game changer!
Matthew and Hannah M.
We've been using it for a few weeks and it has definitely helped our baby have a more consistent sleep schedule! Before using the Zen One, she would sleep for 3 hours then nurse and then maybe sleep 1-2 hour stretches the rest of the night. Now she typically sleeps 3-4 hour stretches throughout the night! She falls asleep much faster and stays asleep better too!
A N.
I got this as a gift and I loved it so much I bought two more! My son has been broad ever since he was born and so it is hard to find Velcro swaddles that fit around his chest. I love that this material is stretchy, high quality and so so so soft! The Velcro is also built to last unlike some other swaddles we have. The weighted bag in the front and on the sides make my little guy feel very secure. I also love that there is a newborn slot so I can use it from the very beginning. I really think they are so worth the money we spent.
Amanda P.
Are you skeptical? Are you so sleep deprived that you think you’re willing to try anything, but are worried to shell out more money on another baby scam? Well so was I, and this was one of the greatest things I ever purchased. I bought the regular swaddle first, and then the Zen One for him to grow into. It took us a few days to get the swaddle right. There’s no inner anchor point, so it’s very easy for little Houdinis to break out of if it’s not super duper tight. So the “better sleep in 1-3 nights” thing took more like a week, don’t give up! We moved onto the Zen One pretty quickly, bc he’s so much more comfortable with his arms up. This creation is genius. Whenever I’d put him down he would always wake right back up, and now as soon as I put this on him, he can put himself right back to sleep. And watching him self soothe on the baby monitor is incredible. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think the sizing is a little off. I bought the Zen One in size 3-6 months so he could grow into it, and save a few bucks. He’s 2 months old, 11 lbs, so not a ginormous baby, and hes just about busting out of it.... kinda weird. But seriously, buy this thing. A 2 month old sleeping from 8pm-430am? WHAT. yea, it’s true. Just make sure you wear some super absorbent breast pads.
Lauren G.
Love the Zen One! We recently transitioned from the Snoo to crib and with the Zen One it made it possible by keeping her hands out but still snuggled. She sleeps 12 hrs a night and is great with naps in her crib thanks to Nested Bean!
Tapanga W.
Still having trouble sleeping. Baby mainly wants to co sleep
Jesica S.
Our one month old loves his swaddle. He loves sleeping with his arms up. This has made such a difference in his sleep.
