Loved the quality of this swaddle. My baby outgrew it so fast because his arms were too long for it. He could have worn it for much longer if the space for the arms was just a bit bigger. I tried taking the arm parts off but it took away from the idea of the arms up swaddle. Definitely size up. For the amount of time we were able to use the swaddle, it is hard to justify the price.

We love this swaddle! Our son has acid reflux and would only sleep while being held. This swaddle makes him feel like he’s still being held. We are finally able to sleep more at night.
Linzi L.
TINY! I understand the swaddle is supposed to be tight… but I can barely zip it up. My baby is 5 weeks old and weights 9lbs 5oz and the 0-3 month swaddle is not going to work. It’s like trying to zip shut an overstuffed suitcase. But quality is amazing so I will be exchanging for the next size up :)
Barbara F.
Truly a game changer. Our baby sleeps longer.
Lyndi M.
This swaddle is one of a kind! It has changed our nightly routine, from waking up every hour to finally sleeping through a 3-4 hour stretch. The only thing I would change is I would like for there to be a heavier type of material. Overall, I love it and wish we would've purchased one sooner!
Ben P.
A little small for our 6 week old so we didn’t get to use it.
Victoria V.
My son went from waking up every 2-3 hours to sleeping 7 hours straight! Definitely worth it! Great product!
Delia R.
Really helps baby sleep
MaryBeth F.
She hated the other swaddlers that held her arms down to her sides! We have slept all night, every night since getting the Nested bean zen one! I will be recommending to all new mothers!!! I'd give it 20 stars if I could.
Myranda K.
Baby girl loves her sleeper! It’s so soft and comfortable and the weighted portions give her the same sort of comfort as having my hand rested on her. The first night she had to go without it there was a significant difference in the quality of her sleep and how well she slept.
Shari E.
Super great! Great quality and my baby slept so well!
Catherine M.
This was too small/tight for my 3 month 14 lb baby.
Lisette P.
This is my second purchase because my grandson grew out of the 1st one. My son was so happy I got them this because it was truly a great purchase for the following reasons: snuggles my grandson perfectly in the swaddle, gives us all peace of mind at night, the material is soft, and washes well. I just ordered 2 onesies to help them transition him from the swaddle. I highly recommend investing in one of these. Wish they were around when my babies were little.
Meredith P.
I love the Zen one we got for my second child. I had the swaddle with my first and it was good but I feel the zen one secures their arms better. I like to swaddle them and this gives extra sense of security with strap on inside. I was disappointed with the customer service. I had to exchange our Zen one for bigger size because my second child was gaining weight so fast. From the time I ordered it and it came in, she needed the next size up and was only a month old. I went through return process and it took forever. What was said to be 5-15 day turn around was nearly a month. I ended buying up buying one off Amazon because you can't beat that shipping. I had to call multiple times to customer service because I was told they would provide email with update and the replacement was going out the next day, but it took a week at least for it to finally ship. Zen One great, customer service needs some work.
Porshay L.
We absolutely love this swaddle. My daughter is a pro at fighting her sleep but she doesn’t stand a chance in her zen one swaddle. It’s the only thing I can lay her down in to fall asleep on her own without being held. She also sleeps longer because of the sleeves and I love that it allows her to self soothe still. Definitely a 10/10. Wish I would’ve bought the larger size right away because she’s a long baby (21in) but ill definitely be taking advantage of the Black Friday sale to get another.
Morgan M.
We have grown out of our 0-3 size and now we are eager to purchase the next size up because our baby loves it and sleeps well with it!
Kirby D.
Baby girl is finally getting good rest. Nested Bean has been a blessing!!
CLAUDIA C.
It's nice, the fabric is stretchy. However, my baby is 5 weeks and only wore it 2 days as she grew out of it quick. Rides up a bit and I a a afraid it would be tight and jumbled by the neck. Truly for smaller babies.
Deborah M.
We used our nested bean sleeper while our baby girl was in the hospital fighting a virus and it was so helpful. I appreciated the versatility and convenience of being able to keep her cozy with easy access for the nurses to check her vitals without her being exposed. The added benefit of being able to remove the arm pockets while she was awake and replace when sleeping was an awesome feature!
Tiffany N.
My baby didn’t really like it, felt like it took longer to get him to go to bed. He is only 2 months so he is waking up at night still to feed and just seemed harder to get back to bed after with it on. Definitely sleeps longer with it off. Good quality though!
ashley m.
My baby has loved it kinda regret not using this with my 1st born. I am hoping transition goes out smoothly once she starts to turn. Recommended!
Amanda C.
So worth it! Our son was in the traditional swaddles after both and that only worked for the first 2 weeks. As soon as he turned 3 weeks he suddenly was not sleeping and was having a hard time being put down and staying down; we were still using a traditional swaddle but he would only stay down for 30mins-1 hour unless being held. That meant no sleep for me or my husband as we did not want to co-sleep which resulted in over exhausted frustrated parents. Week 4 came around and we felt like we tried everything! The only thing left to try was to put him down without a swaddle (which I didn’t think would work due to the startle reflex/needing to feel like he was still in the womb) but to my surprise found that he liked to sleep with his arms up so he was finally going down easily and sleeping but continued to wake up frequently due to startling. After researching swaddles that allowed my son to sleep with his arms up we found Nested Bean and chose them over a more expensive competitor who also had a weighted swaddle. Our friend purchased the competitor and their daughter did not take to the swaddle. We liked that Nested Bean allowed the arm sleeves to be removed and that the price point was half of what the competitor was selling theirs for. We figured this option was best for 2 reasons. Reason 1 is we didn’t know if he would still feel restrained though his arms would be positioned up so if he still didn’t like it we could easily remove the sleeves while having him still feel like he is being held due to the weight and bundled in a swaddle to mimic the womb. Reason 2 is once his startle reflex is gone we could remove the sleeves completely. We immediately tried the swaddle and it was a game changer starting that same night! He was able to sleep with his arms up, had the feeling of slight weight on him, and was still bundled up so we went from waking up every 30min-1hr to sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches. If you’re worried about the weight, it is not heavy at all! It really is like a hand resting on their body- not too much but just enough. We are absolutely going to purchase from this company as he continues to grow :)
Kelly O.
My son is able to fall asleep in the zen sac but he does not stay asleep. With this he is up every hour.
Samantha L.
We love this arms up swaddle so much! My little guy still sleeps swaddled at night so its night to have the inside tight wrap part! And during the day he sleeps with his arms up to start getting him used to it! We love it! The weighted areas def make him feel secure and we noticed better sleep in about a week! I also love that the arms zip off if need be and for when we transition to just a sleep sack. 4 stars because its not a miracle worker lol. But still a great product so glad we got it!
Latisha M.
This did not work for our baby. We used it for a little over two weeks and he stayed up or would be difficult to go down to sleep almost every night. Material is nice, well made.
Colton H.
Our 6-week old baby is sleeping so well and we feel so safe in him wearing it. As a new mommy, I am intimidated with a fully weighted swaddle, and the nested bean is a great start for us. Extremely recommend!
Alisha A.
Overall it's nice. I ordered 3-6 months for my 2 month old and his arms didn't fit so I had to take them off which was kind of disappointing. I don't think I'd say it helped him sleep better, but he likes the snug fit around his body.
Lindsay F.
We love this sleep sack! Helps so much since she startles herself and wakes her self up. Have one arm out because we’re working when she starts to roll over.
Jared A.
These twins are my first so I don't know how common swaddle Houdinis are, but mine is at 50% and even with their fancy smart cribs that bounce and sooth and all that, my little escape artist would go from Easy ZZs to Awake and Screaming - so in desperation I saw the Bean ad and said, Nothing to lose!
Even the first night it was clear this was a little more professional grade than those just sac swaddlers I'd tried before. Not only did he stay in, but he also kind of immediately "got" that he was in for good. Since then, I've tried arms in, arms out and a few other things, and they all seem to work great. When my other one had a rough night I decided it was time to grab her one too / have a washing machine extra.
Rachel R.
Runs small. My 6 week old is about 11 pounds and I followed the weight chart and it was skin tight on him.
Melissa S.
We bought this swaddle for our 2 month old and we were looking for something that he can use for awhile. He loves having his left arm out and I love that this swaddle gives us the option to have one arm out if needed. I will definitely be buying another swaddle from them once he grows out of this one
Dung K.
Good product! I love it
Samantha W.
I like that it’s adapts to the different stages but it’s unnecessarily small. I suggest making it a one size fits all in the future
Larah A.
It's good but it's just the sizing cause i ordered 3-6 months with the band inside for my 2 months baby (11 lbs) but can't use the band cause it's too small and can't zip up so i just removed the sleeves so i can put her arms out just to fit her. Kinda sad cause i ordered this for the band cause my baby startle a lot but can't use it.
Kirsy L.
I love this swaddle. I used it with my daughter when she was a baby and I bought it again for my new baby. Both my kids are great sleepers and I can say I have this swaddle to thank for that.
Jenna
Got this for my son who is 7 weeks old and does not like to be traditionally swaddled. He has slept so well in it, averaging about 7 hours for his first stretch of sleep each night!
Lindsay M.
My 3M old loves it! He has CRAZY arms and wakes himself up constantly. A regular swaddle lasts a few minutes before he busts out. Super happy with this purchase.
Susan B.
Wasn’t very happy with it. Size is smaller than stated. And not easy to change in middle of night.
Charlie S.
I love this sleep sack but unfortunately the 0-3 mo was just a little too small for my 2 mo old. I did also get the 3-6 month with fits him perfectly.
Nicole B.
My child has been using this sleep sack since about 3 weeks old. He is now almost 3 months old and sleeps 12 hours a night. We just purchased him a bigger size. We LOVE nested bean and we believe this sack along with his night time routine is what allows him to sleep through the night!
Courtney M.
First swaddle that she likes! Finally!!!
Cortney W.
The zen nested bean is great quality. Worth the price, extra roomy and will last a while as we got the 3-6 month size. Washes nicely. Easy to get baby in and out of when awake or sleeping.
Katie S.
Much easier than others we have used and our baby can't escape from it, but it didn't make a difference in our baby's sleep unfortunately.
Megan D.
My baby really loved and needs this. My main disappointment is the size. The swaddle only comes in 3-6 month size. He’s two and a half months old but he’s a bigger baby. Already in 6-9 months clothes and weighs almost 17 lbs. so he’s about the size of a 6 month old but he’s still a baby and needs the swaddle. I ended up ordering a Halo swaddle for the size but he doesn’t like it as much. Unfortunately he’s already too big for our nested bean and not ready for the sleep sack yet. Wish they made swaddles for bigger babies.
Julia C.
My newborn was getting very frustrated with sleeping at night because he wanted his arms out of the swaddle, but kept waking himself up with his startle reflex. After two nights of using the nested bean sleep sack, he has been frequently sleeping for 6 to 8 hour stretches. Amazing! I wish I would have bought one for my firstborn!
Melissa H.
We really like the swaddle. My only issue is that we only got to use the 0-3 for about a week or so before it was a little to short and snug on our 6 week old.
Cara K.
Absolutely LOVE this! I was really hesitant at first due to the price but it is so worth it! She sleeps so much better and for longer periods at night. Sometimes we even put her in it during the day to calm her enough to sleep when she’s fighting it. Will definitely be buying more!
Kristi M.
Wanted to love this so bad but it does t work for us. We gave two stars because the quality is very nice! But it didn’t fit my 3 month old. His arms literally wouldn’t zip into the arm portions. I may be able to use it as an armless swaddle when he transitions to that, but it was so expensive for it not to fit. I already washed it so I can’t return it. He was well within the age range and weight range (which is why I went ahead and washed it) so I was surprised at how small this was.
Victoria L.
Love this so far. The size seems a little smaller than the weight listed in the recommended sizing. Bur working well so far
Autumn H.
This swaddle, plus sleep training, has gotten my baby to sleep 8-10 hours per night by 7.5 weeks old. He’s currently 9 weeks and consistently sleeping 10 hours nightly. I love the Velcro straps on the inside. Even though it looks like he’s in a straight jacket, they keep him from getting his arms into an uncomfortable position in the swaddle, especially since his hands are big compared to most babies. Overall we’re so happy with our purchase and can’t wait to try the sleep sack when he’s bigger!
Maria R.
I really enjoy the quality and comfort the swaddle provides. I do not enjoy the cost but, for the quality it does make sense. When I did order the swaddle my baby was just turning 4 months. She was in the process of learning how to roll over therefore, being able to remove the arms to the swaddle was very helpful. I'm not sure if she really likes the swaddle at all. I thought the weighted part might be super beneficial. Maybe having my baby go from being super swaddled one day to letting her arms fall into the angel pose a few days later might have been too fast of a change for her. So, I would recommend getting this swaddle from the beginning of birth in order for the baby to adapt right away and gently. Especially since this swaddle grows with baby. Even though baby may not like it I truly enjoy the weight the swaddle comes with, the color, and how it changes with baby and I truly recommend this product.
Valentina
My baby didn’t like it and she didn’t feel comfortable with it.
Meghan N.
I was very skeptical at first about the Zen One but after seeing the positive reviews I went ahead and took the chance. It is a MUST BUY, my baby went from waking up every 2 hours and now has been sleeping 6-8 hours at night (with feedings in between) at 3 months; giving me about a 4 and 3 hour stretch. My baby loves it, she’s at the sucking on her hands stage so the mesh material still allows her to sooth herself back to sleep. It took 1-3 days to start seeing the difference, so I would definitely recommend to future mamas!
Jenna K.
Game changer! 100% recommend. The difference between waking up crying every hour and sleeping sound for 5+ hours at a time nightly. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY! I promise this works!
tiffany b.
I bought a zen one nested bean because I have tried multiple swaddles and my 2 month old son hated them all. He hates having his hands tucked in by his side and he has always been able to get himself loose and hands free out of every swaddle I have put him in. So I figured because he is able to have his hands by his face which he has been doing since he was in the womb and it was slightly weighted I figure I would give it a shot. And boy am I glad I did. He basically falls right asleep after I put him in his zen one and does not fight to try and get out of the swaddle like the others. I have bought 3 of them because I love them so much.
Paula R.
These weighted sleepers are my No.1 go to for new babies— anything to help baby & mommy sleep!
Ashley M.
This is a great option if your baby likes hands up but has trouble falling asleep without them being swaddled. It does run on the smaller side. We are currently 2 months and weigh around 10 lbs. The 0-3 month is snug but fits well. Not sure if sizing up would be a good idea due to the fact that it wouldn’t restrict her hands from moving so much if it were bigger.
Ymari T.
It’s the perfect swaddle for our baby! The mesh works for when she wants to eat her hands. We love it and have already bought the next size up now that she 3 months!
Elizabeth
I wish I would’ve found this sooner. My second baby was 9 pounds at birth, so traditional Velcro swaddles weren’t strong enough to hold her in. This was absolutely perfect, and it is her favorite swaddle!
Susan B.
I wanted to love this sleep sack but it seems awkward and ill-fitting. Maybe I need to size up (although I ordered a small and my baby weighs 10 lbs) but it seems like it doesn’t fit her correctly. I also am not crazy about the zipper being off-center.
Candace N.
My son loves the sleep sack . The only downfall is that the stitching came undone after a few uses . But nothing a needle and some thread won’t fix.
Lindsay F.
This swaddle is the best!! Since day 1 of having it my daughter naps longer and sleeps through the night! Definitely recommend this to any one with a newborn!
Ashley G.
My daughter was waking up every 2-3 hours at night. She didn’t like the regular Velcro swaddle as she likes to have her hands. I came across this zen one with the mesh sleeves and decided to just try it out. After a few days of using this, she started sleeping longer and longer and then was sleeping through the night. She wears it every night and it really does help with baby’s sleep! I would recommend this swaddle to every mom.
MARNIE
Too tight and the sleeves were ripped after 3 wearing!!!!
Lauren
Material is so soft and the fit is perfect. Love the multiple options of wear for this item as well. Baby sleeps so well in this.
Noelle
Our 2 month old didn't like being swaddled anymore. He was breaking out and likes his arms out, but he would startle himself. Since we bought this, he's been sleeping longer stretches. Even if I see him startle on our monitor, I notice that it's only his arms and he doesn't wake himself up. Seriously, this has been a life saver for us and our baby!
Amanda E.
Love, love, love this! Only sleepsack that works for my little one.
Priscila H.
I’m not sure if it has helped my son sleep better (he was sleeping good prior to getting the Nested Bean), but I must say I LOVE everything about this sleepsack! It’s much better than what we had (Halo sleepsack). The fabric is so soft and comfy, and the weight in the front and sides is perfect. He looks very comfy and cozy in his sack. The only thing I “don’t like” is that the legs are “free” so when he kicks/startles he sort of wakes up. But other than that we are loving this!!
Melissa A.
Works great for my 7 week old. Just enough weight and pressure to keep her comfy all night and allow for self soothing! I got one of each size
Caitlyn W.
I wanted to love it more than I do. My issue with it is that it rides up a lot, especially when I put my babies hands up. It’s a little better if I strap her arms down. But when she moves her arms around, the swaddle goes up into her face. I’m not sure if the weighted aspect has helped her sleep or not, doesn’t seem to have changed very much.
Raely H.
My baby will only sleep in soundly in a sleep swaddle. I ordered 2 from nested bean we love them! The quality is great and they arrived less than a week after I ordered them. Highly recommend!
Kelci P.
I don’t know how this could possibly fit up to 13lbs. My daughter is only 8.5 lbs and not at all chubby and it’s tight on her.
Madison C.
My sister in law gave us nested bean swaddles to try before we committed to purchasing. After the first night, we were in love!! I ordered the zen one because of the arms up feature, which my 4 week old loves. We get longer stretches of sleep and will never go back!
Nicole
This was the best thing I ever bought for my newborn!! He slept so freaking good!
Nicole
My baby only got to wear this once bc I was t sure on what size to get. But he loved it
Bailie B.
Our little man absolutely hated having his arms restricted but loved the pressure of being swaddled everywhere else. The Zen One gave us and him the best of both worlds!! He absolutely loves it and the double zipper makes diaper changes so much better for everyone. Absolutely ordering another one!
Aigul
I loved it, my baby slept very comfortably, unfortunately it was already small for my 15 lbs baby, I used this very short time
Jennifer
Quality is impeccable
Katie H.
I love that this had a swaddle and sleep sack option in one. Very easy to use.
Kirsy L.
Baby sleeping 4-5 hours at only 2 weeks old
Rachael
Baby doesn’t like it after multiple tries
Dakota M.
My son HATED having his arms swaddled. He would always manage to break out and could never settle himself back down. This sleep sack has been a life saver! He went from constantly waking himself up to sleeping 5+ hours a night. I have told every mom-to-be about how amazing this sleep sack is. My 2 month old is already outgrowing his 0-3 month and I will definitely be purchasing the 3-6 month! 10/10 would recommend!
Jeane P.
I bought the sleep sack and my 3 week old loves it ! It helps him sleep longer and he just overall seems very pleased and comfy in it. Would definitely recommend
Natalie S.
Nested Bean has been a life saver for our little wiggle worm! The Zen One is our favorite because our baby loves to have her hands by her face. Her startle reflex was horrible for the first 2 months and she HATED to be swaddled where she couldn’t move her arms.
Julie G.
Our little one loves her nested bean! She loves having her hands up by her face so it’s absolutely perfect for her to feel comfortable AND swaddled!
Jessica K.
Our baby has been sleeping 8-9 hours a night since she was 5 weeks old thanks to these sleep sacks. Prior to purchasing the Zen One Sleep Sack she would only sleep being held and refused to sleep in her crib. The first night we put her in it, she slept in her bed for 4 hour stretches! I was so happy! Each night increased by an hour until she was sleeping 8-9 hours a night. She doesn’t like to be swaddled, so we love that the sleeves are removable. The band around her belly and the gentle weight makes her feel like she’s being snuggled all night. A couple nights ago she had to sleep without it because I had forgotten to switch the laundry over and she only slept for 6 hours, then for 3 hours. I now have no doubt that the sleep sack is the secret to our success with her sleeping all night!
Karlee R.
It fits smaller than expected. My 3 month old is approximately 15.5lbs. Not sure how it’s going to fit for another 3lbs per the sizing guide. It’s hard to zip already since it’s pretty tight around the tummy.
Nathaniel
We loved it! Game changer for who have twins! My babies sleeping 6-8 hours since we got this swaddles.Highly recommend it!
Dawn R.
It arrived quickly, it is very well made, I am hoping it will help my five month old grandson sleep more through the night
katie s.
Love this! It’s perfect for my little one. Helps keep her warm and the weight of it allows me to put her in her crib without her waking up. Good quality material. Soft for baby.
Wendy H.
My nine week old is very long, so I wasn’t sure what size to get. I opted for the 3 to 6 month and it fits her perfect. Great sleep on the first night! I am amazed at how fast she is falling asleep now.
Whittney
Very difficult to get my baby in this sleep sack and she also didn’t like it. I could just have a picky baby but I don’t think I’ll be trying these again.
Sherry H.
Good quality, and seems to help our little one stay asleep! Thanks!
Felicia C.
I love the swaddle feel without his arms being tucked down. He seems so much more content in this one and seems to sleep overall better. Definitely recommend!!
Anna M.
I love this swaddle and wish I got it for our first baby! Our two month old son has been wearing it every night for the past week and it makes bedtime so much easier and more calm. He no longer fights going in his bassinet after his last bottle of the night and gives us a longer stretch of sleep. I’ll definitely be buying the next size up for when he outgrows this one.
Amanda
Helped our newborn sleep for 4 or more hours.
