My daughter has the worst colic. From 8pm to 1 am she would scream and cry and nothing I did would console her. I tried shushing and swinging. I tried white noise and putting her on the dryer and turning the dryer on. I tried the mamaroo, running the vacuum. Nothing at all worked. Finally out of desperation I ordered this sleep sack and that very first night she slept straight through the witching hour. It has been a miracle and I will definitely be ordering more and telling everyone about it!
Brittney K.
Its a great product, and the weight is perfect.
Stephanie L.
Our baby girl was sleeping only 45 minutes at a time and the nights were miserable; we were exhausted. Within the first few nights of using the nested bean swaddle she began sleeping 3-4 hour stretches!!! Thank you!!!
Amysta N.
I like the swaddle but it honestly didn’t stand out from any other swaddle to me.
Jonathan K.
Swaddle is very easy to wrap and keeps the baby asleep.
Katia G.
The baby is two months old and sleeps so much better with this swaddle! I just love it.
Kristin E.
Been using it for over a week and hasnt improved sleep yet my only complaint is that the panel that has the weighted section in it moves and I think I would like it better if it would Velcro in place instead of moving. It often moves up and covers his mouth while sleeping

This Swaddle change our life! I was very skeptical when I saw the adds from the product. I have to confess I was very desperate after three months of not sleeping with my newborn baby. I was trying to get into a routine when I saw this swaddle and I didn’t hesitate to try it. I have to say that my baby fought when I was wrapping him for the first time, but when I finally finish wrapping the blanket around him, he finally felt sleep on his own without crying or anything. I had use the blanket now for over a month and not just my baby love it and he gets excited it when I start wrapping him at night, he now sleep thought the whole night!!!!!!! I am very very thankful for this product and yes definitely everyone should give it a try.
Megan D.
She sleeps amazing and now so do I, at only 3 weeks old!
Nataliya K.
Didn't see a difference at all. The sticky part is very bad doesn't hold. Not worth the money.
melissa b.
My baby girl sleeps better in this swaddle. The weight that is on her chest mimics my hand that I always lay on her chest before bed or a nap. I might even by a second swaddle I like it so much :)

The first night we used the zen swaddle my daughter finally slept the 2-3 hour stretches between feedings, so I was very hopeful it would continue to work. Unfortunately, the success was short lived and she went back to only sleeping about 30 minutes every night in her bassinet before waking. Even though it has not kept her sleeping through the night, I do really like the design and feel of the swaddle much more than any other o w we have used, and she seems very comfortable in it so I will continue to use it and hope as she gets older that her sleeping patterns get better.
Jillian K.
My sister recommended this product to us after I told her that our baby was fussy and didn’t sleep well. I immediately ordered the swaddle and loved it ever since. I can tell it makes our baby feel safe and secure. I’d recommend anyone give these products a try!
Cara C.
My 2.5 month old was not sleeping at night. We were up 6+ times a night which caused him to be fussy during the day because he was so exhausted. I purchased all the things to help and NOTHING worked until our Nested Bean swaddle came in! He sleeps soundly & is well rested for the day. If we get up it’s only once a night. This working mama is thankful for Nested Bean!
Katelyn M.
LOVE IT! My little girl can’t sleep without it.. literally. Just had to buy three more!
Shamaa B.
I love this swaddle so much that I’ve told my new mom friends about it and they live it too! The only thing I wish it had was a way to change her diaper without taking off the whole swaddle at 4am. But other than that, it’s great. She immediately calms down when I put it on her and she is sleeping so much better
Chelsea B.
I had ordered the powered blue but received the gray one. Would you consider giving me a coupon for a future purchase of another one?
Kayla B.
I wouldn't say this swaddle works for the intended reason--the weighted benefits of it, but it is my favorite swaddle of the blanket, traditional velcro and Halo swaddles I've tried. I love the material of the blanket. It is very cool to the touch and stretchy. My hot baby does great in the normal swaddle wearing a short sleeve onsie underneath. In the morning when he is a little gasy but still sleeping, this swaddle works best for letting him even pass the gas by himself. The aforementioned swaddle restrict too much (the Halo is fine for gas passing, but is too hot). I will definitely be getting more of these swaddles when we have future kids. By far my favorite! If the weighted part seemed to make a difference in his quality of sleep, I would rank a 5...all babies are different! Definitely worth it for the other benefits.
Kim K.
Ordering my 2nd one now so we have a backup when this one is in the wash!
Megan H.
Our 2mo old is rocking the sleep in his zen swaddle! Thanks so much for this genius invention. His first stretch of sleep each night (in his crib, in his room) lasts 4-6 hours. Amen!!!!!
Deborah M.
Wasn't the miracle swaddle it was made out to be. It's a swaddle but didn't notice any longer sleep time whatsoever, if anything, it was less. Sorry. I was really hoping to love this
Heather S.
Our babygirl is about to be 3 months, so we are getting her used to having an arm out for an easier transition to the sleep sack in the future! So far she sleeps for an hour at nap time, and a whole 10-12 hours at night (WITHOUT waking up)! Definitely love the Nested Bean products! The velcro stays attached, and the fabric quality is very soft and breathable!
Jennifer B.
I was excited to get this swaddle because my baby has struggled with falling asleep outside of someone holding him.. however I am not as pleased as I hoped to be.
The fabric is very stretchy which doesnt allow for a tight swaddle and my baby always ends up with it up around his face from moving his arms around.
I’m hoping that we will see some sleep improvement soon.
Abby F.
She sleep longer periods of time, it’s great.
Terri C.
I love this swaddle. My little guy has always gone down easier with the reassurance of my touch so I knew Nested Bean was the right choice for us. Now, as soon as I swaddle him, he falls asleep in half the amount of time it took prior to getting the swaddle and stays asleep longer! As soon as he outgrows this I’ll be purchasing the sack.
Falen G.
I didn’t want to write anything bad because every baby is different, and it just didn’t work for mine. Even when tightly swaddled, she easily got her arms out. It actually caused her to wake up more than she was before using this swaddle. I love the idea though. Maybe a fleece material would work better for a baby like mine.
Rebekah H.
Has helped some but disappointed there is already a small hole near seam. Only had it a month.
Jessica K.
Hi, my baby is now three months. I bought this sack a few weeks ago and used it three consecutive nights. The concept Is great, but she always manages to sneak one or two arms out. I do the wrap up tight but she still can fight through it. This makes it difficult to want to continue to use as I spend a few hours in the morning trying to get her back to sleep as she is hitting herself with her hand or sucking on her fingers.
I am not satisfied with the fact that she can escape. I would not recommend to anyone who has a similar type of baby.
Katie G.
With my first baby, she slept like a dream from day one, so I was in for a huge shock when my second baby didn’t seem to sleep at all. She would only sleep if she was being held and she’d stay awake from 12am to 4am and as soon as she fell asleep, my oldest would wake up for the day. I was desperate and drinking my weight in coffee every day just to survive. So I ordered the Nested Bean Swaddle. It arrived and I tried it that very night. Miraculously, as soon as she was swaddled, she fell asleep in her own bed for the very first tome and slept SIX HOURS. I seriously felt like a new woman. She is now 4 months old and she sleeps about 8 hours every night before waking to feed. This product has been an absolute lifesaver and will forever be my go-to baby shower gift for any new mom!
Jennafer M.
The swaddle works great to keep my little’s arms in. She is sleeping 6-hour stretches at night!! Would definitely recommend this.
Hannah B.
Don’t waist your time with this one. Just get the zen one instead.
This classic swaddle doesn’t fit very well, my babies arms got out of it every time, and it was incredibly frustrating. She was 3 months old and very large for her age so it shouldn’t have been so loose on her but it was. However we returned it and got the zen one and aren’t looking back. The zen one has helped with our babies sleep so much and fits much better.
Hana W.
Love these swaddles! Definitely need to watch the tutorial on how to do it correctly, but once out on correctly it’s nice and snug! My favorite part is that the bottom area is nice and roomy so it’s safe for the hips!
Nina F.
I bought this for my new great granddaughter which is due on 12/31. It looks great but until the baby is here I cant comment if it works. Will let you know.
Christine S.
Overall, I like the concept of the swaddle but the material is so flexible that my babies arms don’t stay in place and he ends up uncomfortable.
Ann M.
Baby does sleep better
Colleen B.
I was really excited to try this out, but sadly it didn't work well for us. Maybe our little one is getting too big for the swaddle (she's 2 months) but she kicks free of the flap that has the weighted part in it, so her legs are bare. The upper part was difficult to swaddle well in a way that she couldn't wrangle an arm out, too. I'm thinking of trying the sleep sack instead, but this swaddle was sadly not a good fit for us.
Marie B.
I bought the nested bean swaddle off my registry after I had my baby showers because I saw great reviews on it we didn’t use it until our daughter was 2 months old before the swaddle she was an okay sleeper but never slept throughout more than 2 hours at a time after the swaddle we had to wake her up to eat throughout the night she’s now 4 months old and the doctor said it was okay for her to sleep as long as she wanted throughout the night and now she is sleeping 8-10 hours at a time only occasionally waking up around 4:30 because she’s hungry but we couldn’t be happier in our purchase
Deneii N.
My little boy loves the wraps he sleeps so much better now and for longer periods!! Love love love this product
Chasity G.
We have been having trouble with my 2 month old grandson. We bought the swaddler and he has been sleeping through the night. We now have made several purchases and will continue to do so.
Madeline S.
We were somewhat skeptical when we initially purchased the weighted swaddled, but it was one of the best baby purchases we made! We use it literally every night. Our baby sleeps so much better with it and can go for longer stretches of time. He used to wake himself up constantly from wiggling or the startle reflex, and struggled to put himself back to sleep. Not any more. He only wakes up to eat or for a diaper change during the night now. Love this product and will be buying another one and recommending it to all other parent friends
Emilee L.
This swaddle is a miracle worker! She had the hardest time sleeping without me holding her and this weighted swaddle helped her sleep independently after first use. Love this!!
Sarah G.
Like the idea but wish there was an option to buy a smaller size. The swaddle is huge on my 8 week old so it makes it difficult to actually swaddle her tightly enough
Samantha P.
This is the best thing ever my little one sleeps about 4 hours and is just over a month old
Donna C.
Bought it for my grandbaby who is due Dec. 10th this year. But, at the baby shower many other young mothers were saying they have one for their babies and it's the best thing they got for their babies. I have ordered both the newborn- six months and the six months- fifteen months. We're excited to see how our little one likes hers.
Judy W.
Love it. Bought it for my granddaughter and I have to say it really works. I felt like it worked the first time I tried it. She slept longer thank she did before, which is why I bought it. She jerks a lot in her sleep so now I see less movements and more sleep.
Anna H.
My boy has had alot of struggles in his first month. Lots of challenges causing lots of discomfort. I thought I'd never get him to sleep for more then 15 minutes at a time. Then I bought this and it made a difference immediately! He sleeps SO WELL. Really, the gift of a sleeping baby is priceless. I am so grateful.
Alexandra G.
Our baby girl sleeps so much better with this swaddle! Has been a great help to this momma as I’m getting more sleep than before!
Jenny B.
I like and appreciate the concept of a weighted swaddle, and I think the weighted part has been helpful to keep our baby asleep once we get her to sleep.
However, the swaddle itself is not excellent in design. You have to have it so tight, and if it’s not just tight enough, then the baby’s neck/lower face is swimming in it halfway through the night. I wish there were 1-2 additional pockets in addition to the newborn pocket to insert baby’s feet. Once baby grows out of the newborn pocket, then the rest of the sack is too big to get a proper swaddle (baby slips into the swaddle when upright for burping or rocking).
Michael O.
We purchased our Zen Swaddle for our 5 week old and have tried this on our son for the past 12 days. The swaddle itself is of great quality and can stay on tight as long you wrap it well enough. It can get tight around the neck so you want to be careful with that. We recorded our kids sleep in our BabyConnect app and reviewing his sleep logs, I can't really say for sure the Zen is massively improving our kids sleep time the way we wanted it to. He still sleeps an average length of 2:30-2:50 hrs at a time and prior to the Zen, it was about 10-20 minutes less per interval . What the Zen is contributing to is the additional of one more hour of sleep per day, going from 13 hrs/day to around 14 hrs/day.
In some ways, this data helps confirm this company's claim about helping the baby sleep more but I think continued monitoring is needed. On some nights, I used a normal wrap swaddle and our son slept the same amount as our Zen. Kids are weird. I give our Zen Swaddle 3 stars based on our experience with it so far.
Nicole P.
My little girl was born August 3. She’s never been a good sleeper, and when she turned 3 month old and nothing was getting better, I got desperate. I ordered the Zen Swaddle, because of the 30 day return policy, just in case. By the third night of using it, she would fall asleep in my arms and when I’d put her down, she’d stir for about 5 seconds and be back asleep. That never happened before using the Zen Swaddle! And now she’s going 5 hour stretches, when she used to go 2-3. I noticed she’d sleep better with her arms out, so that’s what we’ve been doing for a few weeks. I’m so happy with it! I’ll for sure be buying the sleep sack when she starts rolling over.
Dallas L.
Bought this as a baby shower gift because we loved it so much!
Nathan R.
Absolutely love the swaddle blanket. Our daughter is 8 weeks old and sleeping 5-6h stretches. The smart 2 pocket design allowed us to get the maximum use size wise.The lightly weighted covering mimic us touching her, ingenious!! Thank you nested bean :)
Natalie M.
Nice swaddle but the weight didn’t seem to help my daughter sleep.
Jordyn S.
My little man self soothes much easier with this swaddle! Takes a little getting used to for him but his sleep has improved!
Kim M.
My son will fall asleep on his own now!
Leslie B.
Nested bean was perfect for when he was tiny because of the pocket insert and transitioned straight to when he grew! We noticed he immediately would calm down when put into the swaddle and it all came together very nicely. We did notice that when our son would get very mad he was able to kick the middle part down so it wasn’t snug. We fixed this by tucking it under on the sides of his body. Such cute patterns and very well made!
Larry D.
My granddaughter was not sleeping well so I was researching ways to help her and came across the nested bean site and the zen swaddled.
Ordered one and gave it to my daughter to try.
I’m happy to report that it has helped the little one get some much needed sleep.
Kerry P.
has not helped my NB sleep any longer than a regular swaddle.
Andrea M.
I had tried so many sleep products and baby was waking up every hour and very difficult to put down. I thought a weighted swaddle would be worth a try since she will only sleep in her bassinet with my hand on her chest. Well, it's only been 2 nights and we've had 2 amazing nights of sleep! Last night she slept for almost 6 hours straight and woke only once to feed before going right back to sleep without any help! No putting her down only for her to wake up immediately again and again. I'm so, so thankful for this product. Will definitely be buying the sleep sack as she gets older.
Kendall
I did not expect this to be so wonderful with self soothing! My 2 month old son can put him back to sleep now and goes to sleep so much easier with this sleep sac on. Thank you!
Irena T.
At first I was reserved, wasn't sure it would work, but after after a couple of days my baby would fall asleep much faster! Love it!
Rachelle M.
Hasn't helped my newborn's sleep
Tierney M.
We love the swaddle!! Ever since we bought this is has helped my babe who didn’t want to be put down ever when he slept to being able to sleep by himself when swaddled for 5-7 hours at a time! Not only that but we’ve been able to set a routine with using this swaddle!! I bought the sack and swaddle bunndle so I have the swaddle for later but can’t wait to buy other products when my baby gets bigger!
Amy S.
I have had a wonderful experience using the Nested Bean Zen Swaddle for our 2month baby girl! Definitely noticed a change with baby girl staying asleep and sleeping longer with naps with the very first use! She was able to soothe herself to sleep the first nap in the swaddle with no fussing or tears! Nighttime has become the most evident in change! Love it!
Kesandra J.
LOVEEE IT! Bought the swaddle for my baby who is 8 weeks old and she slept from 8pm to 3am last night. I was amazed! Highly recommend to anyone’s
Zora W.
It worked great the first 2 night where the baby actually went from waking up every 2-3 hours to sleep 5-6 hours. After that baby went back to waking up every 2-3 hours. The swaddle fabric is very nice. We like it a lot, just wish that it will consistently work for our baby.
Mackenzie R.
My baby girl went from sleeping okay, waking 3 or 4 or even 5 times a night to waking once to eat at 5 weeks old... she loves it and it makes her feel secure so she doesn't wake so much. We love it!
Katarina S.
This is so helpful in getting our baby to sleep better
Rebecca S.
Life changer! Our little girl was constantly breaking free when we swaddled her in a blanket, but she wouldn't sleep without being swaddled! We absolutely could not put her down if she was even the slightest bit awake. With the Zen swaddle we can put her down awake and she's learning to self soothe! She can handle her wet diapers a little longer and is finally taking naps during the day without being held. We could not get her to stay down for a nap for more than 30 minutes with a traditional swaddle. And, she's sleeping between 5 and 6 hours a night at 7 weeks now! Before we could only get 3-4 max at a time. So glad I decided to try these out!!
Lina G.
The zen swaddle is magic!! My newborn would not sleep before we bought it unless she was surrounded and tucked between things (which is NOT safe) after we got our zen swaddle she only wakes up one to two times at night to be fed and goes right back to sleep!!!!!
Emily S.
This swaddle saved my sleep and sanity. We were using regular swaddles before this and our 1 month old would fall asleep just fine but as soon as we put her down she would wake up. After using the zen swaddle for about a month she has slept through the night 3 times and usually only wakes up for 1 or 2 feedings in the night. I contemplated getting this for a while. If you're reading this and you're not sure if you should get it, you should get it right now!
Ashley S.
He was fussy put it on calmed him love it
Susan H.
Ordered it for my daughter but hasn’t helped like reviews so not very satisfied
Dhara P.
I am due in January so have yet to use it but I love how soft the material is and the print is beautiful!
Arexy G.
I started using when my baby turned 4 weeks with bathing him, a massage and a good feed, he sleeps through the night. Sleeps for about 5 hours. Once he wakes up he goes back to his normal schedule of eating every 2 hours. I love it.
Sterling J.
For the first six weeks, this little miss wouldn’t sleep anywhere except on my chest. I was one exhausted momma. I came across an ad for Nested Bean on Instagram and decided to give it a shot. The first night took some walking, bouncing, and patting, but she finally settled down. Mind you, this baby hadn’t slept on her back since... well, never. We’re two weeks in, and she’s sleeping up to four hour stretches. I can also lay her down in her co-sleeper, and she’ll shortly fall asleep on her own. The beads in this thing are either made of melatonin or magic. Either way, it’s been a lifesaver for us, and this momma is so grateful.
Samantha W.
Our little girl is sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at 2 months!
Kara L.
Those swaddler is a game changer! I can wrap my baby in it and he immediately settles down!
Sandra O.
Purchased this for my daughter in law for her baby shower. She was very excited to receive it. Baby is due December so she hasn’t used it yet
Whitney B.
I’m a big fan of this swaddle! I wish that it had a zipper on the bottom so i could easily do midnight diaper changes!
Jasmine C.
Great invention, but unfortunately it made no difference in my baby’s sleep .
Jennifer S.
I really love these swaddle sacks. I’ve tried A LOT of different brands and this is by far my favorite. I was nervous about the pressure piece being gimmicky, but it really works! The only thing I would recommend is to make a larger option or the leg/feet part of the sack a bigger option. My son was born with clubfoot so he has special equipment he has to sleep in and the sack is stretched to the limit. It would be nice to have the zen sleep sack with a swaddle option, or the swaddle sack with a larger sack option.
Billiejo N.
I got it for my granddaughter and I love it
Courtney C.
My one month old has been horrible with sleeping on her own. I’ve been using this swaddle for a little over a week and this helps her to sleep for a little bit without being held. She’ll now sleep for about 2 hour intervals instead of 20 minutes at best! I’m hoping this will help her to slowly get better
Kathryn C.
This is very well made and the fabric is soft and sturdy. We haven’t used it much though. I think if we had from the beginning we would have. Our baby likes his hands up.
Rene' B.
I purchased this for my new grand baby to be! It was very soft and anxious to see if it works. I kind of wish they made them in adult size, ha!
Derek G.
I like the concept, but didnt work for our son.
Kirby J.
I love this swaddle my baby sleeps so much longer now
Lisa B.
We love it so much we bought a second!
Rebekah S.
The only problem with this being so wide ranged (0-6) is that although my son is 2 months old and a pretty large baby, it is still to big. Even using the leg pouch i find that the weighted blanket part comes up too high and the wings wrap too far around him at the moment. he loves being swaddled but this just isnt working for him right now. I'm sure in a couple months he will love it but he also might be to big (rolling over) to be swaddled at that time.
Grace K.
This is the only swaddle that would keep our little 6 lb fighter contained. He sleeps more comfortably and longer in this swaddle than any of the others we tried. We love this product!
Lauren C.
This has helped our little man sleep more soundly during the night. We love it and will continue using it nightly! It’s also a great baby shower gift for our friends!
Heather
3rd night using and our baby has slept longest stretch yet! From 3 hrs to 5 hrs! Yay for sleep!
Gwen
My granddaughter is sleeping so well in her nested bean swaddle!
Tammy H.
This was a baby shower gift.
Ashlea Y.
We absolutely loved our swaddle! We ordered it before we even left the hospital when we knew our little girl loved to be swaddled and we weren’t good at swaddling! Sometime when I don’t swaddle her all up I will just put the weighted part on her chest and she loves that too!
Laura K.
Really has settled her when we put her to sleep. Less restless nights!
