This swaddle has been amazing! We have gone from waking up every 2 hrs to sleeping 5+ hrs. For 3 nights we have slept all night! This is amazing! Hands down must have!
Jessica M.
First night my four week old tried it she had her best sleep yet! We love this !
Chloe G.
My 1 month old loves it! She likes to keep her arms up and the mesh sleeves are perfect for it. The weight keeps her cozy with the belly band. More sound sleep for baby and mama ❤️
Elizabeth M.
In love with this sleep sack! Our little man does not love to be swaddled or have his hands taken away from him but would wake himself up so often with the startle reflex. This sleep sack where he can keep his hands up next to his face and still suck on them has been a game changer! Getting longer stretches of sleep every night!
Anne H.
Baby sleeps so well with Nested Bean! She’s nice and cozy, and I love that this particular style can be used with arms up, down, or out. It helped us painlessly transition from full swaddle to having her arms free in a matter of days once we decided it was time.
Kendra E.
We love our Nested Bean. I do think our little guy sleeps better with it because of the gentle weighted sleep it provides. It’s also nice that once he starts rolling over, we can continue to use it!
joanna m.
Awesome
Jaylene V.
The ultimate sleep swaddle, my baby hates having her arms down like traditional swaddles. I swear this makes her so comfortable and safe when she sleeps that she’s only 6 weeks old and already started sleeping 7 consecutive hours in the night.
Shelby H.
I really do like this sleep sack and my little guy seems to like it as well. He does sleep through the night which is always a plus. The only thing that I don't like is the zippers on the arm pouches shouldn't be placed so high up, or maybe should be placed on the backside of the pouches. My son rubs his face constantly when he's tired and trying to fall asleep and if I let him go too long he just scratches his little face up from the zippers. Other than that it is a perfect sleep sack and does the job.
Sarah L.
It bunches up awkwardly and the seams are not sewn well. Since we don’t use the swaddle band for the arms and the weights bunch up it was not worth the extra money. The tag inside is unnecessarily large and had to be cut and left a hole. I like the ability to zip off arms but I bought a more affordable version of the same thing and it worked just as well.
Devyn W.
I loved it so much I now buy it as a baby shower gift, and recommend it to all my new mommy friends that are sick of swaddles!
Sierra N.
I tried 3 other different sleep sacks before this one and none of them worked well for my daughter. I decided to try this one out and she has been sleeping so much better. She is 8 weeks old and sleep anywhere from 5-7 hours a night when before she was only going 3 hours. Definitely going to keep buying this brand.
Kelsey J.
Love this swaddle! The baby sleeps longer at night since we bought it.
Amanda H.
Received a product with a minor issue and the customer service was beyond amazing. As for the product itself, it seems to settle our daughter better than any other we’ve tried! We are very happy.
Stephanie C.
PLEASE make this in a larger size! Tried snoo and all sorts of swaddles. This one made my son sleep 6 hour stretches at 8 weeks when we were doing 2-3 prior. He has outgrown it at 11 weeks. Please please make a larger size!
Zainab A.
I purchased this for my very fussy newborn. With other swaddles, he always managed to slip his arms out and would scream at the top of his lungs until we ran back to his bassinet to re-swaddle him. This would happen numerous times at night and would leave all parties exhausted. With this swaddle, his arms are fastened within the sack so there's an extra level of protection and extra hours of sleeping for all of us. The quality and design of the product is great! Love the soft material and the weighted beads (and my baby does too!).
Amy Lane F.
This has been the greatest swaddles. Our first and only son is almost 5 months old, he has slept through the night since he was 2 months old. We started with the Zen swaddle then transitioned to the Zen One. We purchased both sizes available. We moved up to the 3-6 month size quickly because he’s a big boy. I’m sad to say though he has reached the weight limit for the 3-6 month size. So we are needing a larger size, but there is no bigger size. We have tried the Zen Sack but he is a very active sleeper, and if his arms are free he wakes himself. So wish there was a bigger option, we tried other brands and it’s not the same. We love these products.
Hartley C.
Baby girl LOVES it! Cannot sleep without it!
Larissa M.
Unfortunately it did not work for us. Our baby is a month old and the 3-6 month sleeves are very small. It did not soothe him at all. But it was worth the try…
Jessie B.
Love this sleep sack! Keeps my lil one comforted through the night. Soft, stretchy and cozy. When we put it on he knows it’s time for bed.
Amber M.
Used the zen one sleep sack/swaddle for the first time last night on our 6 week old little girl. She usually is a pretty good sleeper would sleep 6 1/2 hours straight and then wake for an hour or so and go back down for 2-3 more hours, but with this she slept a full 10 hours straight we had to wake her in the morning! It’s a great product and I would recommend it, the weighted part is what I think really helped her to stay asleep the whole night.
Tabitha A.
I cannot rate highly enough! My son was born weighing 5.4lbs and we brought him home at 4.11lbs. I couldn’t wait to use this sleep sack. As soon as he met the 7lb weight limit he wore the Zen One and slept a full 3 hours straight (we were still waking to feed).
My little one also has reflux and CMPI so I slept In a recliner holding him every night. Nested bean allowed us to use safe sleeping habits and gave me back some of my sanity.
I will buy every single size and continue using for as long as my baby will let me.
This is a must have for reflux mommies!
Khamlah K.
So snug. My baby loves it! I love it! She sleeps so well in the Zen One! I’m sad she has outgrown it and there isn’t another one for 6months+. Since I can no longer put her in her sack, she no longer sleeps through the night. Bummer!
Khamlah K.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Zen one! My baby slept through the night every night, and during her day time naps. Without it, she would wake up constantly. I’m pretty sad they don’t make it in a bigger size for 6 months+. I know you’re not suppose to swaddle them when they start crawling and moving but when my baby wears this, she doesn’t even try to roll. As soon as I zip her up, she is out like a light bulb. I got another one where the arms are free and she wakes up every now and then :(
Maria S.
I really like it my son is only 2 and half months got him the 3 to 6 months and it’s kind of small in the body and to small on the net where the hands go.
Kala M.
She won't sleep without it!!
Dana A.
I purchased 2 of the nested bean sacks for my oldest when she was a baby. I loved them so much, that the first purchase I made after finding out the sex of my 2nd child, was this sac.
alexis c.
Wow…. This made a difference within just a few nights! Our little one now sleeps through the night and goes down on the first try! Highly recommend! I also love that Nested Bean is so confident in their product that they offer returns. No other similar sleep aids offer returns.
Karissa F.
Out little one was always a decent sleeper but this sleep sack put her up to 8 hour stints asleep without waking before she hit 3 months old. She wakes herself less and goes to sleep in half the time she used to. We used a similar sack, without the bean or internal swaddle wrap and she did well with that but nothing like she does with the swaddle, mesh hand holder, weighted bean combo. 10/10
Elizabeth Z.
Good quality product and I love the option to have my baby's arms swaddled in or out. My baby doesn't sleep any better or longer with this product though. I have two other much less expensive swaddles that my baby sleeps better in. However, every baby is different so this may work for others really well. I love using this for nap time and plan to use it more when we transition out of swaddling.
Meagan T.
Made well and excellent customer service. Our dog chewed up a sleeve and they sent us a replacement at no charge! While the duration of her sleep didn’t really change, she does fall asleep faster and on her own better once placed in her bassinet!
Morgan E.
The price is way to high for the quality it is honestly…
Laura L.
So great! So warm!!
Courtney R.
Worked okay, but the 0-3 months is more for a preemie. The swaddle worked so much better
kelly o.
This is the absolute best product if you are having trouble putting your baby down to sleep and keeping Him/her asleep! It works wonders! I highly recommend and wish I had got mine sooner!
Sloane
Baby enjoys this sleep sack. Seems to help settle back to sleep without me having to rest my hand on her. Buying more in next size up
Alexandra F.
Our baby seems to like this swaddle about the same as our others. It’s a little small for her, though. She weighs 9lbs and it’s very tight to get her zipped up.
Haylie R.
It has made our 4-week old calmer at night—not sleeping longer, but definitely not as fussy!
Nicole W.
I live the idea of weighted sleepers and it does help my daughter sleep no doubt! BUT the mesh hands are a smart idea but dumb in practice. The mesh is not soft and as you kid self soothes back to sleep sucking on their hands. It gives my child a rash from irritation of the scratchy mesh and leaves her skin red and bumpy. So I had to stop using that aspect of the sleep sack.
Monica M.
We have a 3 month old Houdini who loves to rub her face when she’s sleepy. We were recommended the zen swaddle to prolong sleep throughout the night. I think the swaddle does ok for that. The most she has gone is about 5 hours straight. We have to pin our little one’s arms down or she will rub her face raw due to eczema. Unfortunately, the band inside this swaddle did not hold her down for very long and her arms would wiggle through. We did end up having to add an additional thin cloth over her chest/arms and then use the band over the arms as well. So far this has held her into place. The option to leave the arms by the head did not work for us either. All in all it’s an ok product for our baby.
Jen M.
She sleeps great with it!
Brittany P.
Runs a little small. Ordered 3-6 months for my chunky 3 month old and it’s a little tough to get her arms through the holes. I also had to remove the “sleeves” because they were too small for her. She’s 15lbs and 24” for reference
Reghan B.
I loved the Zen One sleep sack for my sweet boy, however, we didn’t get to use it but a few times due to how small it was. I checked the weight and height requirements on the website before purchasing and my son was under those numbers but once receiving it and putting it on him, it was too small. When we removed the mesh sleeves, we were able to use it as a regular sleep sack for one or two nights but after that it was just too tight to make work.
Rachel L.
We first bought the 0-3 month Zen One. It was too tight for our average six week old baby. I didn’t feel comfortable keeping him in it but I really liked the idea of the product so I ordered the 3-6 month Zen One to try. I LOVE this thing! When used at the right time, when baby is tired but not over-tired, it seems to really calm him down and get him feeling cozy! He instantly relaxes in our arms and then lets us set him right down to fall asleep. No other swaddle has done that for us, and after two babies, we’ve tried a lot! I can’t wait to see how this product continues to work for us.
Miriam E.
Love it!!
Summer G.
This swaddle is great and has helped our good little sleeper sleep even better. My only concern is that it’s already pretty tight on my 2 month old so I’m not confident it will make it to 6 months.
Maggie T.
My baby loved it, for three weeks. It needs to be a little wider and a little longer. That is a lot of money for something that doesn't fit up to three weeks. My baby was a preemie and is only in newborn sizes. She is two and a half months old.
Samantha M.
I hated swaddling, my little one always broke out of it. I got the sleep sack and i love it! I love the fact it gave the option to swaddle her arms down or put them in the sleeves. Night time changes are so easy with the two zippers. Tfw weighted arms are perfect and i no longer have to get up to put my hand in her bassinet because she straddled herself. I am buying another sleep sack to have a back up. I wish i would’ve bought this for my first.
Elisabeth A.
This swaddle is really well made and so soft! It’s great for baby to be able to have her arms up enough but not to the point where she startles herself. We think this has helped with her sleep and so we bought 2 more!
Victoria R.
We originally bought a Nested Bean sleep sack a few years ago when our 2yo daughter was going through the 4 month sleep regression - it saved our lives. So when our second daughter wasn't sleeping well without constant human touch, we went back to the source that had worked so well the first time. The same night we got a 7 hour stretch in our 8 week old. Highly recommend!!
emily c.
My daughter loves the Zen one. She sleeps more soundly with it on. I just bought another!
Amelia F.
the newborn sleep sack hasn’t given us the best luck, but the 3-6 month one gave us good luck with our first one when we transitioning to the crib.
Danielle S.
I have been a fan of the sleep sacks for my first born but the zen one sacks are amazing. Got one as a gift for my second born and needed more! Love the 2-way zipper. Also like the ability of this to progress with my LO as he moves out of the swaddle stage.
Urania L.
Ohhhmmmgggg I was skeptical too like other mothers at first , but even the first night it worked. My baby now sleeps up to 9 hours !!!
Katie A.
It’s alright. Not warm enough.
Samantha Z.
Thought I would see a big difference in his sleep.
Molly F.
She sleeps through the night with no problem!
Carla S.
I love this swaddle! We use it every night. I feel like most nights it helps him sleep a little bit longer.
Deana E.
It didn’t work for my baby but I’ve had people I know personally tell me it works so well!
Morganne P.
This product has been very helpful for my little one! She had grown to hate having her arms swaddled but was still startling herself awake. I ordered the Zen One transition sleep sack and she sleeps beautifully! I admit I do not use it consistently for naps but I do use it every night and she went from sleeping 4-6 hour stretches to consistently sleeping 8+ hour stretches. Perfect timing as I purchased this the week before I returned to work! I will be ordering future products for sure!
kelly o.
Love this product and would highly recommend this company! We had a very minor issue and the company was quick to respond and resolve the issue. I love the zen sleeper. My child is sleeping so much better! It’s a miracle!! Thank you nested bean!!
Ashleigh C.
Runs a little small- I ordered the 0-3 month for my 6 week old. He is on the smaller side, only 9lbs, but his arms do not fit inside of the sack, so I always end up wrapping a muslin swaddle around the nested bean to help with his startle reflex. The arm sleeves seem small too-it looks uncomfortable, so I just don’t use them. Was hesitant to order the next size up for him, since the website recommends not using for babies under 13lbs- not sure if that has to do with the amount of weight in the chest, but I didn’t want to risk it! The gentle weight really does help soothe him, and he sleeps better already! Will likely be purchasing a new one when we transition out of a swaddle!
Samantha A.
I got a 3-6 lavender Zen One for my 6 week old but she is approaching the 13lb mark so I thought the length and fit would be better. The first nap the sleeves started to rip. Not to mention that the swaddle part barley fits so it’s essential to have those sleeves intact. In a week of use it completely ripped open. I contacted support when it started ripping and they shipped out a “replacement” the next day except they sent me a sleep sack instead of the swaddle. Bummer. I am returning.
Kearstin M.
We love the nested bean! Calms baby and helps put him to sleep!
Rebecca W.
Look at the weight limit! My one and a half month old couldn't fit in the 0-3 months, she's already past the limit. The sack is super soft, made very well, and I really wanted my daughter to like it. We tried the next size up (3-6 months) and it was still a little too snug. I honestly think if we would have started her in these, she would love them and sleep better than she does. She's just stubborn now and doesn't want to try something new.
Lauren B.
So far so good. Loving the results from this item! Baby is sleeping better with it. One worry is the child escaping the interior swaddle. However, it seems at that point to leave their arms out.
Michelle R.
It’s gold. Wish I had it with my first. We started using it around week 3 and he started sleeping 4-5 hour stretches which quickly turned into 6-7 hours. He’s 7 weeks today and has slept 9 hours straight the past 3 nights. My husband are I still can’t it and are so grateful. Buy it right now!
Shanon W.
I like the inside strap and the zipper but I can’t say I have noticed much of a change in my daughter sleeping habits.
Emma W.
We didn’t notice any difference in our LO’s sleep compared to similar transitional sacks like the love to dream swaddle. The weighted bean pouches ride up making it awkward when I rock or bounce baby back to sleep
Vanessa A.
First day we tried it. She was out immediately. She still wakes to eat but it takes her awhile to wake up because it puts her right back to sleep.
Chelsey H.
We love the Zen One swaddle! It's so great to maximize your money spent with one swaddle that will transition through the different stages as your little one grows. Our little one loves it too!
Evette C.
Our baby girl absolutely loves this sleep sack! We are able to put her to bed awake and she falls asleep on her own! She sleeps longer stretches and wakes up so happy, very grateful we gave this a try!
Rebecca M.
Perfect transitional swaddle. It’s great that you can use just one for many different transitions. Love that it allows my baby to sleep with arms up they she prefers too
Crystal L.
I had to take the arm part off because my son hated not being able to put his arms down. We have had it a couple weeks and he wears it every night. It's well made but it didn't help with sleep at all. He's 2.5 months and this fits perfectly so I'm not sure he will fit in it at 5-6 months
Olivia D.
We just bought our second one because our baby girl grew out of her first one! Frustrated with the fit of Velcro swaddles, I bought a Nested Bean Zen One. I give major props to this swaddle for how well she sleeps! Shes 3 months old now and she sleeps from 830-730!!
Jill T.
This thing is magic! My little guy was sleeping through the night since we started using it at about 1.5 months old. It’s made very well and withstood many washes. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because it seems to run very small.. my guy is 5 months old and 14.5 lbs and barley squeezing into the 3-6 month size, which states it is up to 18 lbs. no way would he make it until then.
Heather C.
This released when my first born was just switching to a sleep sack and I was so sad to miss out on it! Fast forward 2 years and I’m finding that I really did miss out. This thing is amazing!
My 8 week old was already sleeping 7 hour stretches with the Zen Swaddle but always wanted to keep her arms up, especially once she discovered how soothing her hands are. The first night she slept 8 hours and we’ve stretched it up to 9 since then! At 9 weeks old! We’re both obsessed.
I want to gift this to all of my expecting friends.
Sarah W.
Really seems to help our baby sleep 4 hours she's very tall and skinny though so it's getting tight on her where it maybe waking her up I am hopeful when she weighs enough the 3-6 month will be the perfect fit
Cody S.
Our baby slept 5 hours the first night, and she’s been less restless. We can tell that she absolutely loves it. She sleeps longer and more restful. We are very happy with our purchase.
Lindsey W.
I love the weighted part, however it seems so long as the zipper pokes him in the neck and comes up over his face at times so I have to roll it and tuck it. He was at 8lbs last week at 2.5 weeks old so surprised on how lengthy 0-3 months is.
Also the sides are very tight to zip up. I expected a little bit sometimes difficult to zip him in. For thr price, it's okay.
Nicollette S.
Didn’t really help my 2 month old sleep longer than her usual 2-hours.
Kurstin R.

Jessica J.
We have been trying to transition out of the swaddle and have tried three different brands with no luck. This swaddle has all the perfect elements! Hands up but contained so he doesn’t wake himself up, and the weighted portions on the chest for comfort. Then zip off sleeves so he can use it for months and months. From the first time we used it he’s slept incredibly well. I trialed it with naps first, and last night was the first full night of using it. He slept from 9pm to 7:45am! I’ve been telling all of my mom friends to invest in this swaddle, they won’t regret it!
Heather C.
We love our “bean” helps with a night time routine and with our very active sleepy baby!
Megan D.
I do love the product. However, the mesh ripped within the first use. I contacted Nested Bean to do an exchange and I have not heard back. I hope to hear from them soon.
Yamila S.
I originally bought the nb size and it was life changing for my child’s sleep!! So naturally I bought the next size up.. and at the perfect time I must add; helped us through her first sleep regression! The lavender color is so so so pretty in person as well. Highly recommend this product to anyone to give it a shot before spending money on any other swaddle.
Stephen L.
I really wanted to like the swaddle, but I find it heavy and it bunches up under her chin and creeps up towards her mouth. There’s just a lot of material going on. He doesn’t seem to stay in place, and it worries me that it’s covering her mouth
Eloisa N.
From night one our 2 month sleep longer stretches… we could believe it! We love it and we couldn’t recommend it more.
Breanna M.
I like the sack. I think it is for the most part sturdy and washes well. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks and there is a start of a hole on the back where the stitching for the band is sewn in.
As far as sleep goes, it hasn’t really expanded her sleep time but I do think she likes it and is comfortable.
SHELBY L.
My daughter loves hers. As soon as we put her sleep sack on she is sound asleep!
Josh S.
Just doesn’t work like everyone says it does. My little guy is still up every 2 hours.
Danielle K.
We loved the product while it worked, but after only a week the zipper broke unfortunately.
Jessica K.
Really nice quality, well made, the dark blue color hasn't run or faded in the wash so far. Little guy seems to nap well in it and I like how adjustable it is. My only complaint is that I wish the sleep sack was longer. My little guy is long for 3 months, but I suspect he'll out grow this length wise pretty quick.
Shelby D.
He picture is from when she woke up from a night's rest. When we put her in her nested bean she knows it's bed time. She sleeps very well in it. I also like the fact that once it's time to stop swaddling then we can remove the mesh sleeves and she can still sleep in the sack!
Brittney W.
My little bean is a mover, so I knew it was time to retire the swaddle. I found this product ad on Instagram, and saw a lot of people giving rave reviews. I thought I'd give it a shot, to see if the sleep improved.
I didn't see a difference, and I have found I need to put another layer on her for warmth. It's very lightweight.
The weights didn't do much, or at least it feels that way. I think they should've put the weights all over the Zen One, because I think that would really help.
Did it improve sleep? Not really. It's still the same sleep pattern as before I got this.
Is it a good transition from a swaddle? Yes, I'd say it is. I like that the fins can come off when you're ready.
If you have a mover like my little I would recommend this. If you don't, I'd refer you to the swaddle nested bean has.
I hope this helps.
Lisa L.
I was super excited to receive this product. I’ve heard and read great things. My baby likes it until the beads from the weighted egg in the middle started to move all around the sleeping bag. Making uncomfortable for my baby’s hands and body when I’m holding him. Was not impressed by the quality after that.
Jenn V.
Immediate change in sleeping behaviors! She started sleeping 8 hour stretches at 2 months! She outgrew her first one, now we are transitioning up. Thank goodness for the Zen.
Susan
Our little one won’t take a nap or bedtime without this. We started with 0-3 and when he outgrew that ordered 3-6. Lifesaver for sure! He is 12 weeks old, EBF, and sleeps from 10pm-7am every night with an occasional wake up for feeding. What I love about this is that I can go “arms up” for self soothing or when he is overly tired or needs extra help calming down we use the interior swaddle to keep his arms to his sides. When he nurses at night I like to unzip his arms for better latching but I don’t have to. Washes up very well too.
Ashley M.
I really this swaddle but my son is just now 3 months and he has the 3-6 month size and it’s already almost too small. Probably can only use a few more weeks which is disappointing.
Ashley J.
Used this for night sleep and day time naps. Washes great and material is so soft
Audreanna K.
This swaddle has been amazing! We have gone from waking up every 2 hrs to sleeping 5+ hrs. For 3 nights we have slept all night! This is amazing! Hands down must have!
Jessica M.
First night my four week old tried it she had her best sleep yet! We love this !
Chloe G.
My 1 month old loves it! She likes to keep her arms up and the mesh sleeves are perfect for it. The weight keeps her cozy with the belly band. More sound sleep for baby and mama ❤️
Elizabeth M.
In love with this sleep sack! Our little man does not love to be swaddled or have his hands taken away from him but would wake himself up so often with the startle reflex. This sleep sack where he can keep his hands up next to his face and still suck on them has been a game changer! Getting longer stretches of sleep every night!
Anne H.
Baby sleeps so well with Nested Bean! She’s nice and cozy, and I love that this particular style can be used with arms up, down, or out. It helped us painlessly transition from full swaddle to having her arms free in a matter of days once we decided it was time.
Kendra E.
We love our Nested Bean. I do think our little guy sleeps better with it because of the gentle weighted sleep it provides. It’s also nice that once he starts rolling over, we can continue to use it!
joanna m.
Awesome
Jaylene V.
The ultimate sleep swaddle, my baby hates having her arms down like traditional swaddles. I swear this makes her so comfortable and safe when she sleeps that she’s only 6 weeks old and already started sleeping 7 consecutive hours in the night.
Shelby H.
I really do like this sleep sack and my little guy seems to like it as well. He does sleep through the night which is always a plus. The only thing that I don't like is the zippers on the arm pouches shouldn't be placed so high up, or maybe should be placed on the backside of the pouches. My son rubs his face constantly when he's tired and trying to fall asleep and if I let him go too long he just scratches his little face up from the zippers. Other than that it is a perfect sleep sack and does the job.
Sarah L.
It bunches up awkwardly and the seams are not sewn well. Since we don’t use the swaddle band for the arms and the weights bunch up it was not worth the extra money. The tag inside is unnecessarily large and had to be cut and left a hole. I like the ability to zip off arms but I bought a more affordable version of the same thing and it worked just as well.
Devyn W.
I loved it so much I now buy it as a baby shower gift, and recommend it to all my new mommy friends that are sick of swaddles!
Sierra N.
I tried 3 other different sleep sacks before this one and none of them worked well for my daughter. I decided to try this one out and she has been sleeping so much better. She is 8 weeks old and sleep anywhere from 5-7 hours a night when before she was only going 3 hours. Definitely going to keep buying this brand.
Kelsey J.
Love this swaddle! The baby sleeps longer at night since we bought it.

Received a product with a minor issue and the customer service was beyond amazing. As for the product itself, it seems to settle our daughter better than any other we’ve tried! We are very happy.

PLEASE make this in a larger size! Tried snoo and all sorts of swaddles. This one made my son sleep 6 hour stretches at 8 weeks when we were doing 2-3 prior. He has outgrown it at 11 weeks. Please please make a larger size!
Zainab A.
I purchased this for my very fussy newborn. With other swaddles, he always managed to slip his arms out and would scream at the top of his lungs until we ran back to his bassinet to re-swaddle him. This would happen numerous times at night and would leave all parties exhausted. With this swaddle, his arms are fastened within the sack so there's an extra level of protection and extra hours of sleeping for all of us. The quality and design of the product is great! Love the soft material and the weighted beads (and my baby does too!).

This has been the greatest swaddles. Our first and only son is almost 5 months old, he has slept through the night since he was 2 months old. We started with the Zen swaddle then transitioned to the Zen One. We purchased both sizes available. We moved up to the 3-6 month size quickly because he’s a big boy. I’m sad to say though he has reached the weight limit for the 3-6 month size. So we are needing a larger size, but there is no bigger size. We have tried the Zen Sack but he is a very active sleeper, and if his arms are free he wakes himself. So wish there was a bigger option, we tried other brands and it’s not the same. We love these products.

Baby girl LOVES it! Cannot sleep without it!
Larissa M.
Unfortunately it did not work for us. Our baby is a month old and the 3-6 month sleeves are very small. It did not soothe him at all. But it was worth the try…
Jessie B.
Love this sleep sack! Keeps my lil one comforted through the night. Soft, stretchy and cozy. When we put it on he knows it’s time for bed.
Amber M.
Used the zen one sleep sack/swaddle for the first time last night on our 6 week old little girl. She usually is a pretty good sleeper would sleep 6 1/2 hours straight and then wake for an hour or so and go back down for 2-3 more hours, but with this she slept a full 10 hours straight we had to wake her in the morning! It’s a great product and I would recommend it, the weighted part is what I think really helped her to stay asleep the whole night.
Tabitha A.
I cannot rate highly enough! My son was born weighing 5.4lbs and we brought him home at 4.11lbs. I couldn’t wait to use this sleep sack. As soon as he met the 7lb weight limit he wore the Zen One and slept a full 3 hours straight (we were still waking to feed).
My little one also has reflux and CMPI so I slept In a recliner holding him every night. Nested bean allowed us to use safe sleeping habits and gave me back some of my sanity.
I will buy every single size and continue using for as long as my baby will let me.
This is a must have for reflux mommies!
Khamlah K.
So snug. My baby loves it! I love it! She sleeps so well in the Zen One! I’m sad she has outgrown it and there isn’t another one for 6months+. Since I can no longer put her in her sack, she no longer sleeps through the night. Bummer!
Khamlah K.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Zen one! My baby slept through the night every night, and during her day time naps. Without it, she would wake up constantly. I’m pretty sad they don’t make it in a bigger size for 6 months+. I know you’re not suppose to swaddle them when they start crawling and moving but when my baby wears this, she doesn’t even try to roll. As soon as I zip her up, she is out like a light bulb. I got another one where the arms are free and she wakes up every now and then :(
Maria S.
I really like it my son is only 2 and half months got him the 3 to 6 months and it’s kind of small in the body and to small on the net where the hands go.
Kala M.
She won't sleep without it!!
Dana A.
I purchased 2 of the nested bean sacks for my oldest when she was a baby. I loved them so much, that the first purchase I made after finding out the sex of my 2nd child, was this sac.
alexis c.
Wow…. This made a difference within just a few nights! Our little one now sleeps through the night and goes down on the first try! Highly recommend! I also love that Nested Bean is so confident in their product that they offer returns. No other similar sleep aids offer returns.
Karissa F.
Out little one was always a decent sleeper but this sleep sack put her up to 8 hour stints asleep without waking before she hit 3 months old. She wakes herself less and goes to sleep in half the time she used to. We used a similar sack, without the bean or internal swaddle wrap and she did well with that but nothing like she does with the swaddle, mesh hand holder, weighted bean combo. 10/10
Elizabeth Z.
Good quality product and I love the option to have my baby's arms swaddled in or out. My baby doesn't sleep any better or longer with this product though. I have two other much less expensive swaddles that my baby sleeps better in. However, every baby is different so this may work for others really well. I love using this for nap time and plan to use it more when we transition out of swaddling.
Meagan T.
Made well and excellent customer service. Our dog chewed up a sleeve and they sent us a replacement at no charge! While the duration of her sleep didn’t really change, she does fall asleep faster and on her own better once placed in her bassinet!
Morgan E.
The price is way to high for the quality it is honestly…
Laura L.
So great! So warm!!
Courtney R.
Worked okay, but the 0-3 months is more for a preemie. The swaddle worked so much better
kelly o.
This is the absolute best product if you are having trouble putting your baby down to sleep and keeping Him/her asleep! It works wonders! I highly recommend and wish I had got mine sooner!
Sloane
Baby enjoys this sleep sack. Seems to help settle back to sleep without me having to rest my hand on her. Buying more in next size up
Alexandra F.
Our baby seems to like this swaddle about the same as our others. It’s a little small for her, though. She weighs 9lbs and it’s very tight to get her zipped up.
Haylie R.
It has made our 4-week old calmer at night—not sleeping longer, but definitely not as fussy!
Nicole W.
I live the idea of weighted sleepers and it does help my daughter sleep no doubt! BUT the mesh hands are a smart idea but dumb in practice. The mesh is not soft and as you kid self soothes back to sleep sucking on their hands. It gives my child a rash from irritation of the scratchy mesh and leaves her skin red and bumpy. So I had to stop using that aspect of the sleep sack.
Monica M.
We have a 3 month old Houdini who loves to rub her face when she’s sleepy. We were recommended the zen swaddle to prolong sleep throughout the night. I think the swaddle does ok for that. The most she has gone is about 5 hours straight. We have to pin our little one’s arms down or she will rub her face raw due to eczema. Unfortunately, the band inside this swaddle did not hold her down for very long and her arms would wiggle through. We did end up having to add an additional thin cloth over her chest/arms and then use the band over the arms as well. So far this has held her into place. The option to leave the arms by the head did not work for us either. All in all it’s an ok product for our baby.
Jen M.
She sleeps great with it!
Brittany P.
Runs a little small. Ordered 3-6 months for my chunky 3 month old and it’s a little tough to get her arms through the holes. I also had to remove the “sleeves” because they were too small for her. She’s 15lbs and 24” for reference
Reghan B.
I loved the Zen One sleep sack for my sweet boy, however, we didn’t get to use it but a few times due to how small it was. I checked the weight and height requirements on the website before purchasing and my son was under those numbers but once receiving it and putting it on him, it was too small. When we removed the mesh sleeves, we were able to use it as a regular sleep sack for one or two nights but after that it was just too tight to make work.
Rachel L.
We first bought the 0-3 month Zen One. It was too tight for our average six week old baby. I didn’t feel comfortable keeping him in it but I really liked the idea of the product so I ordered the 3-6 month Zen One to try. I LOVE this thing! When used at the right time, when baby is tired but not over-tired, it seems to really calm him down and get him feeling cozy! He instantly relaxes in our arms and then lets us set him right down to fall asleep. No other swaddle has done that for us, and after two babies, we’ve tried a lot! I can’t wait to see how this product continues to work for us.
Miriam E.
Love it!!
Summer G.
This swaddle is great and has helped our good little sleeper sleep even better. My only concern is that it’s already pretty tight on my 2 month old so I’m not confident it will make it to 6 months.
Maggie T.
My baby loved it, for three weeks. It needs to be a little wider and a little longer. That is a lot of money for something that doesn't fit up to three weeks. My baby was a preemie and is only in newborn sizes. She is two and a half months old.
Samantha M.
I hated swaddling, my little one always broke out of it. I got the sleep sack and i love it! I love the fact it gave the option to swaddle her arms down or put them in the sleeves. Night time changes are so easy with the two zippers. Tfw weighted arms are perfect and i no longer have to get up to put my hand in her bassinet because she straddled herself. I am buying another sleep sack to have a back up. I wish i would’ve bought this for my first.
Elisabeth A.
This swaddle is really well made and so soft! It’s great for baby to be able to have her arms up enough but not to the point where she startles herself. We think this has helped with her sleep and so we bought 2 more!
Victoria R.
We originally bought a Nested Bean sleep sack a few years ago when our 2yo daughter was going through the 4 month sleep regression - it saved our lives. So when our second daughter wasn't sleeping well without constant human touch, we went back to the source that had worked so well the first time. The same night we got a 7 hour stretch in our 8 week old. Highly recommend!!
emily c.
My daughter loves the Zen one. She sleeps more soundly with it on. I just bought another!
Amelia F.
the newborn sleep sack hasn’t given us the best luck, but the 3-6 month one gave us good luck with our first one when we transitioning to the crib.
Danielle S.
I have been a fan of the sleep sacks for my first born but the zen one sacks are amazing. Got one as a gift for my second born and needed more! Love the 2-way zipper. Also like the ability of this to progress with my LO as he moves out of the swaddle stage.
Urania L.
Ohhhmmmgggg I was skeptical too like other mothers at first , but even the first night it worked. My baby now sleeps up to 9 hours !!!
Katie A.
It’s alright. Not warm enough.
Samantha Z.
Thought I would see a big difference in his sleep.
Molly F.
She sleeps through the night with no problem!
Carla S.
I love this swaddle! We use it every night. I feel like most nights it helps him sleep a little bit longer.
Deana E.
It didn’t work for my baby but I’ve had people I know personally tell me it works so well!
Morganne P.
This product has been very helpful for my little one! She had grown to hate having her arms swaddled but was still startling herself awake. I ordered the Zen One transition sleep sack and she sleeps beautifully! I admit I do not use it consistently for naps but I do use it every night and she went from sleeping 4-6 hour stretches to consistently sleeping 8+ hour stretches. Perfect timing as I purchased this the week before I returned to work! I will be ordering future products for sure!
kelly o.
Love this product and would highly recommend this company! We had a very minor issue and the company was quick to respond and resolve the issue. I love the zen sleeper. My child is sleeping so much better! It’s a miracle!! Thank you nested bean!!
Ashleigh C.
Runs a little small- I ordered the 0-3 month for my 6 week old. He is on the smaller side, only 9lbs, but his arms do not fit inside of the sack, so I always end up wrapping a muslin swaddle around the nested bean to help with his startle reflex. The arm sleeves seem small too-it looks uncomfortable, so I just don’t use them. Was hesitant to order the next size up for him, since the website recommends not using for babies under 13lbs- not sure if that has to do with the amount of weight in the chest, but I didn’t want to risk it! The gentle weight really does help soothe him, and he sleeps better already! Will likely be purchasing a new one when we transition out of a swaddle!
Samantha A.
I got a 3-6 lavender Zen One for my 6 week old but she is approaching the 13lb mark so I thought the length and fit would be better. The first nap the sleeves started to rip. Not to mention that the swaddle part barley fits so it’s essential to have those sleeves intact. In a week of use it completely ripped open. I contacted support when it started ripping and they shipped out a “replacement” the next day except they sent me a sleep sack instead of the swaddle. Bummer. I am returning.
Kearstin M.
We love the nested bean! Calms baby and helps put him to sleep!
Rebecca W.
Look at the weight limit! My one and a half month old couldn't fit in the 0-3 months, she's already past the limit. The sack is super soft, made very well, and I really wanted my daughter to like it. We tried the next size up (3-6 months) and it was still a little too snug. I honestly think if we would have started her in these, she would love them and sleep better than she does. She's just stubborn now and doesn't want to try something new.
Lauren B.
So far so good. Loving the results from this item! Baby is sleeping better with it. One worry is the child escaping the interior swaddle. However, it seems at that point to leave their arms out.
Michelle R.
It’s gold. Wish I had it with my first. We started using it around week 3 and he started sleeping 4-5 hour stretches which quickly turned into 6-7 hours. He’s 7 weeks today and has slept 9 hours straight the past 3 nights. My husband are I still can’t it and are so grateful. Buy it right now!
Shanon W.
I like the inside strap and the zipper but I can’t say I have noticed much of a change in my daughter sleeping habits.
Emma W.
We didn’t notice any difference in our LO’s sleep compared to similar transitional sacks like the love to dream swaddle. The weighted bean pouches ride up making it awkward when I rock or bounce baby back to sleep
Vanessa A.
First day we tried it. She was out immediately. She still wakes to eat but it takes her awhile to wake up because it puts her right back to sleep.
Chelsey H.
We love the Zen One swaddle! It's so great to maximize your money spent with one swaddle that will transition through the different stages as your little one grows. Our little one loves it too!
Evette C.
Our baby girl absolutely loves this sleep sack! We are able to put her to bed awake and she falls asleep on her own! She sleeps longer stretches and wakes up so happy, very grateful we gave this a try!
Rebecca M.
Perfect transitional swaddle. It’s great that you can use just one for many different transitions. Love that it allows my baby to sleep with arms up they she prefers too
Crystal L.
I had to take the arm part off because my son hated not being able to put his arms down. We have had it a couple weeks and he wears it every night. It's well made but it didn't help with sleep at all. He's 2.5 months and this fits perfectly so I'm not sure he will fit in it at 5-6 months
Olivia D.
We just bought our second one because our baby girl grew out of her first one! Frustrated with the fit of Velcro swaddles, I bought a Nested Bean Zen One. I give major props to this swaddle for how well she sleeps! Shes 3 months old now and she sleeps from 830-730!!
Jill T.
This thing is magic! My little guy was sleeping through the night since we started using it at about 1.5 months old. It’s made very well and withstood many washes. The only reason I’m giving it four stars is because it seems to run very small.. my guy is 5 months old and 14.5 lbs and barley squeezing into the 3-6 month size, which states it is up to 18 lbs. no way would he make it until then.
Heather C.
This released when my first born was just switching to a sleep sack and I was so sad to miss out on it! Fast forward 2 years and I’m finding that I really did miss out. This thing is amazing!
My 8 week old was already sleeping 7 hour stretches with the Zen Swaddle but always wanted to keep her arms up, especially once she discovered how soothing her hands are. The first night she slept 8 hours and we’ve stretched it up to 9 since then! At 9 weeks old! We’re both obsessed.
I want to gift this to all of my expecting friends.
Sarah W.
Really seems to help our baby sleep 4 hours she's very tall and skinny though so it's getting tight on her where it maybe waking her up I am hopeful when she weighs enough the 3-6 month will be the perfect fit
Cody S.
Our baby slept 5 hours the first night, and she’s been less restless. We can tell that she absolutely loves it. She sleeps longer and more restful. We are very happy with our purchase.
Lindsey W.
I love the weighted part, however it seems so long as the zipper pokes him in the neck and comes up over his face at times so I have to roll it and tuck it. He was at 8lbs last week at 2.5 weeks old so surprised on how lengthy 0-3 months is.
Also the sides are very tight to zip up. I expected a little bit sometimes difficult to zip him in. For thr price, it's okay.
Nicollette S.
Didn’t really help my 2 month old sleep longer than her usual 2-hours.

We have been trying to transition out of the swaddle and have tried three different brands with no luck. This swaddle has all the perfect elements! Hands up but contained so he doesn’t wake himself up, and the weighted portions on the chest for comfort. Then zip off sleeves so he can use it for months and months. From the first time we used it he’s slept incredibly well. I trialed it with naps first, and last night was the first full night of using it. He slept from 9pm to 7:45am! I’ve been telling all of my mom friends to invest in this swaddle, they won’t regret it!
Heather C.
We love our “bean” helps with a night time routine and with our very active sleepy baby!
Megan D.
I do love the product. However, the mesh ripped within the first use. I contacted Nested Bean to do an exchange and I have not heard back. I hope to hear from them soon.
Yamila S.
I originally bought the nb size and it was life changing for my child’s sleep!! So naturally I bought the next size up.. and at the perfect time I must add; helped us through her first sleep regression! The lavender color is so so so pretty in person as well. Highly recommend this product to anyone to give it a shot before spending money on any other swaddle.
Stephen L.
I really wanted to like the swaddle, but I find it heavy and it bunches up under her chin and creeps up towards her mouth. There’s just a lot of material going on. He doesn’t seem to stay in place, and it worries me that it’s covering her mouth
Eloisa N.
From night one our 2 month sleep longer stretches… we could believe it! We love it and we couldn’t recommend it more.
Breanna M.
I like the sack. I think it is for the most part sturdy and washes well. I’ve only had it for a couple of weeks and there is a start of a hole on the back where the stitching for the band is sewn in.
As far as sleep goes, it hasn’t really expanded her sleep time but I do think she likes it and is comfortable.
SHELBY L.
My daughter loves hers. As soon as we put her sleep sack on she is sound asleep!
Josh S.
Just doesn’t work like everyone says it does. My little guy is still up every 2 hours.
Danielle K.
We loved the product while it worked, but after only a week the zipper broke unfortunately.
Jessica K.
Really nice quality, well made, the dark blue color hasn't run or faded in the wash so far. Little guy seems to nap well in it and I like how adjustable it is. My only complaint is that I wish the sleep sack was longer. My little guy is long for 3 months, but I suspect he'll out grow this length wise pretty quick.
Shelby D.
He picture is from when she woke up from a night's rest. When we put her in her nested bean she knows it's bed time. She sleeps very well in it. I also like the fact that once it's time to stop swaddling then we can remove the mesh sleeves and she can still sleep in the sack!
Brittney W.
My little bean is a mover, so I knew it was time to retire the swaddle. I found this product ad on Instagram, and saw a lot of people giving rave reviews. I thought I'd give it a shot, to see if the sleep improved.
I didn't see a difference, and I have found I need to put another layer on her for warmth. It's very lightweight.
The weights didn't do much, or at least it feels that way. I think they should've put the weights all over the Zen One, because I think that would really help.
Did it improve sleep? Not really. It's still the same sleep pattern as before I got this.
Is it a good transition from a swaddle? Yes, I'd say it is. I like that the fins can come off when you're ready.
If you have a mover like my little I would recommend this. If you don't, I'd refer you to the swaddle nested bean has.
I hope this helps.
Lisa L.
I was super excited to receive this product. I’ve heard and read great things. My baby likes it until the beads from the weighted egg in the middle started to move all around the sleeping bag. Making uncomfortable for my baby’s hands and body when I’m holding him. Was not impressed by the quality after that.
Jenn V.
Immediate change in sleeping behaviors! She started sleeping 8 hour stretches at 2 months! She outgrew her first one, now we are transitioning up. Thank goodness for the Zen.
Susan
Our little one won’t take a nap or bedtime without this. We started with 0-3 and when he outgrew that ordered 3-6. Lifesaver for sure! He is 12 weeks old, EBF, and sleeps from 10pm-7am every night with an occasional wake up for feeding. What I love about this is that I can go “arms up” for self soothing or when he is overly tired or needs extra help calming down we use the interior swaddle to keep his arms to his sides. When he nurses at night I like to unzip his arms for better latching but I don’t have to. Washes up very well too.
Ashley M.
I really this swaddle but my son is just now 3 months and he has the 3-6 month size and it’s already almost too small. Probably can only use a few more weeks which is disappointing.
Ashley J.
Used this for night sleep and day time naps. Washes great and material is so soft
Frequently asked questions
-
How much weight is in the Zen One?
The Zen One™ swaddle includes 3 gently weighted sections, two on the sides and a self-contained Cuddle Pad™ in the center. The weighted areas of the product are 42 grams (30 gm in center, 6 gm on each side) for the NB size and 60 grams (40 gm in center, 10 gm on each side) for the Small size. Our products are designed to adhere to American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) physiotherapy standards and Guidelines for Safe Sleep, which recommends a weight-to-body ratio of 1:10. Our product is safely weighted in key areas as opposed to all-weighted sleepwear or weighted blankets, which the AAP has deemed unsafe for infants.
-
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 can adapt to become a sleep sack by zipping off the removable mesh sleeves. If your baby is starting to outgrow the Zen One, we suggest upgrading to our gently weighted Zen Sack™.
The Zen One™, the only swaddle you'll ever need.
Make transitions easy
Gently weighted to help babies fall asleep faster and sleep longer, the Zen One easily adapts to every sleep style, from birth to 6 months.
Keep rolling babies safe
The Zen One has removable sleeves, making it a safe option for babies who are starting to roll.
Help active sleepers self soothe
For active sleepers who prefer arms-free, the Zen One has quick-drying mesh sleeves to promote self-soothing for thumb suckers. The Zen One has a secure inner band that holds your baby’s arms tight to prevent wake-ups from startle reflex.
