I have 3 grandchildren and have three of these. Love is a understatement they have been a life saver. Which they were around when my girls were little.

The Zen swaddle contributed to my son’s more restful sleep since he started wearing it. His arms do escape the swaddle bu the pressure exerted by the fabric And the weights on his chest and his sides calm him down.

I started using the nested bean zen swaddle when my baby was about 5 weeks old. She was having bouts of colic and nothing would soothe her for long. We started trying the zen swaddle and she would immediately Calm down a little when I swaddled and rocked her. She is sleeping 3-6 hours stretches at night while wearing it. She slept her first 4 hour stretch the first night she wore it. It’s soft cotton and perfect for summer. Not too hot. Easy to use as well. I would recommend this for infants 1-3 months and plan to get the sleep sack version soon. Thanks nested bean!

My one month old had a hard time staying asleep during her naps. She would nap for about an hour or so & wake up fussy. I had read some reviews and decided to try it out! My baby now naps for 2-3 hours!! She wakes up in a much better mood! You guys need to try this product out!! Will not regret it :)
Andrea R.
I used it for more than a month.it helped my baby rest !
Ariane W.
Loved this swaddle! My son was having trouble with recognizing day from night. Once I bought the swaddle he fell asleep fast and stayed asleep.
Estefania C.
Amazing swaddle blanket. Loving it since day one

My 3 week old has been CRAAAANKY all day and fighting her sleep! We got our zenswaddle in the mail today, put her in it and layed her down on the couch...she instantly calmed down. It’s been 3 years since we’ve needed the help of a zenswaddle, I am yet again so thankful for these swaddles!!

Con el Zen swaddle las primera dos noches mi bebé seguía despertando cada hora a dos en la tercera noche mi bebe durmió durante 4 horas seguidas después de comer se volvió a quedar dormido por otras 4 horas, el producto me encantó,mi bebé descansa y por supuesto que yo también.!

Nested Bean Zen Swaddles are so great! My son absolutely loves them. The first night we used it he slept for 4 hours straight (up from 90 min!). The only negative of this swaddle is that there’s no access from the bottom/leg area for diaper changes without having to unswaddle. Otherwise everything about it is great!
Crystal A.
This swaddle was great for the first two months of my daughters life. She slept well at night in it. Once she got a little bigger she broke out of it easier.
karina s.
good quality and it helped my baby sleep a little longer through the night when i first put it on but after awhile, it stopped working. He can get his hands out easily and it just doesn’t help him sleep longer anymore. i had high hopes that it would keep working but i’ve only used it for a like a month.
Ryan J.
I can't say we've seen much of a difference with our 6 week old. We've been using it for a little over a week now. Maybe it'll be more noticeable in another week or so, but can't give a full throated endorsement at this point.
Kathryn C.
I should have bought this swaddle sooner. The first night of using it my son slept 8 hours. That is 3 hours more than he does. He only lasted a month in the swaddle so I bought the sack for him. More time for him to grow into it. Best Buy hands down. I’ll be buying one for my brothers baby girl.
Kylie L.
Our little guy loves his zen swaddle, I really do think it helps him sleep at night, he just went from 3 to 4 1/2 hour sleep stretches at less than 2 months old! The only problem is he's getting too big for the newborn pouch and breaks out without it... about to order a zen sleepsack to try instead.. wish this swaddle would of lasted for more than 2 months.
Amber A.
Arrived fast! Our daughter went from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping 5-6 hours at a time.
Debi H.
Bought as a gift for another one of my grandbabies. He loves it & sleeps so soundly!!
Natalia C.
I’d love to say that I love this product, but I can’t say that I do yet. We reversed back to our old swaddle because baby was getting better sleep in it. Also, the fabric bunches around the face, which makes me nervous. Our little one is long and gaining good weight, so it’s not due to his size. Hoping it’ll redeem itself soon...!
Christina C.
Haven’t used it yet but will write a review as soon as we do
Lindsey H.
I wanted to love this product, but this is literally the ONLY swaddle in our stash that he can wiggle his little fists out of. A couple times he wiggled his fists out from the bottom of the wrap/Velcro area, and the fabric became bunched up around his neck. NOT OKAY. So needless to say, this swaddle will only be for naps that are CLOSELY monitored. I recycled the packaging, otherwise I would have just returned it by now.
Melissa H.
I have seen a huge improvement in my daughter’s sleep since we started using this swaddle. She went from sleeping 2-3 hours a night to 5-7 hours immediately! I purchased the next size up after a week because I know we’ll be continuing to use these awesome products!
Jamie H.
Super easy and quick to swaddle!
Serena C.
The bamboo swaddle is light and breathable perfect for the summer, I will buy more !
Jen K.
This is the first swaddle my child hasn’t broke free from! My three month old sleeps 6-9 hours straight with one arm out and the nested bean swaddle. We love it!
Shannon F.
I love this swaddle sack and so does my baby!! She sleeps longer in it and goes to sleep as soon as she’s swaddled in it. Yes, some nights may take a little while, it’s not magical, or is it?
Brandy K.
Isn’t much different from other swaddles , other than it cost more
Jennifer P.
This helped my 6 week old sleep for 4-5 hour stretches! Life saver! I am buying this for all my friends with babies.
Merin P.
I been swaddling my 1month old baby with Zen swaddle, she been sleeping for about 6hrs continues at night and not only that she been sleeping in crib. I love this swaddle.
Danika A.
My daughter has been sleeping 4-6 hours from when I brought her home from the hospital. It has to be the swaddle! I have shared it with many friends and it’s now my go to gift for friends who have babies
allison h.
Love the easiness of using the zen classic swaddle. Only gave 3 stars because my 2 month old is able to kick out of it while he sleeps. It does work well with getting him to go to sleep on his own.
Sheri H.
I like that the swaddle will fit for an extended amount if time. We struggle with our son being able to still wiggle his arms free. So far haven't noticed a difference in his sleep, but we have other factors working against us. Either way, it's a very well constructed swaddle.
Heather S.
My baby will not sleep at night without this swaddle!!! I will be buying more products as she gets older! Super happy with my purchase and well worth the money
Yasheika C.
My baby girl sleep all night now thank you
Sonia B.
It seems to do the trick. My little guy can sleep 7 hrs straight...from 9:45pm to 3:45am. Hoping to get rid of the 3am feedings, but he's still small. Anyway, we will be transitioning out of the swaddle soon and hopefully he will continue to sleep.
Jamie S.
Within a few days my little girl went from waking up every 2-3 hours to at least 5-6 hour stretches
Kelsey G.
My 2 month old sleeps through the night 10pm-6am but only if he’s in this thing. The website said something about it feeling like a mother’s arms around them...I guess it’s true because it’s definitely the best thing I’ve gotten. I ordered 2 more just so I don’t have to keep washing the one I had because he wont sleep without it!
Courtney H.
It works wonders!! My one month old would only sleep on my chest. The first night we put her in the swaddle she slept for 4 hours! After we fed her and laid her back down she slept another 4 hours! We will definitely be buying more!
Claire K.
I brought the Zen Swaddle to the hospital with me. My newborn baby is already sleeping so peacefully in it (when he’s not eating of course lol). He just looks so comfortable and content. The nurses are all commenting how much they like it!
Rebecca M.
My daughter wouldn’t sleep unless she was held. We bought a swaddle and she slept 7 hours straight at 2 months old!
Gina F.
Received my zen swaddle a few days ago, my girl is a fantastic sleeper during night however during the day she wouldn't nap without someone holding her and waking up every few minutes it was so stressful. I use the swaddle as a nap blanket and i have to say its fantastic shes sleeping on her own and a longer period. Its great! Only thing i would say my baby is 3 months but she is a long baby and the swaddle it too snug already, it would defo be better is there was a zip at bottom so her legs would be free and even for changing nappy. Other then that so far so good.
Ashley S.
Love it! The first night we used it my baby slept for almost 6 hours straight and he’s two and a half months old.
Kelsey J.
My baby girl loves her sleep sack! She sleeps longer and goes down easier for naps and at night! Best purchase ever!
Aubrey M.
Absolutely must have with a new baby! Helps my baby sleep peacefully through the night.
Melissa S.
It has great quality! It is soft and perfect fit for my baby! I wish it could have worked for us, but she kicked her way out of it pretty fast. It is still very hard for her to sleep un-swaddled so we will be going back to the Halo swaddle that has a zipper from which she cannot get out.
I am thinking probably later I would like to try the zen sack.
Amy S.
seems to help somewhat. wished it kept her asleep longer
Laura O.
Our little is 4months. She loves to be cuddled and close to someone at all times. We were having a hard time getting her to stay asleep after we laid her in her bed. I would have to lay my hand on her chest to get her to relax and the moment I moved it she would wake again. After I purchased the sleep sac she now lays down and stays asleep. She does wake in the night for feeding. But goes right back to sleep afterwards. I highly recommend a sleep sac for a restful nights sleep for you and baby
R M.
Amazing for nap time to mimic a hand on the chest! This has really helped our baby who doesn’t like to sleep on his back.
Allison K.
The Zen Swaddle definitely helps my little one settle without needing as much rocking or swaying, but I wouldn't say it's a miracle swaddle that keeps him asleep longer. If he wants to be awake, he's awake. But he smiles when I begin to wrap him in the swaddle, the material is a great weight and the size is great for him to grow into. Definitely not disappointed.
Shannon B.
My son is 4 weeks old, he loves it! We’ve been getting 4-6 hour stretches of sleep each night!
Lindsay
My 2 month old has went from waking up every couple hours to sleeping through the whole night ever since the first night we got it. The first night SHE slept great the entire night and I was the one waking up at 3am... had me thinking where’s MY zen sleep sack lol.
Michelle L.
Wanted to love it but our baby keeps wiggling out of it. No matter how tight we wrap it or what we do, he still gets out of it and wakes up at night.
Taylor I.
Our little bundle of joy was up every 3 hours and now he sleeps 6 hours! I'm very thankful for the sleep this product has given me!
Natalie W.
My 2 month old was really struggling with sleeping at night, sleeping 2 hours at a time. Once we received the swaddle we put our LO in it and she slept a full 6 hours between feedings. Would recommend to anyone that is struggling at night
Elizabeth K.
It’s a nice swaddle and good quality. But, it absolutely made no difference in my 4 month old’s nap time. He is still waking after 30 minutes and can’t self soothe.
Lupita G.
Our little guy loves his Nested Bean Swaddle and so do we! He’s one month old and even though he’s always been a pretty good waking up only once or twice I decided to go ahead and buy one and wow! After 3 nights or so he started sleeping all night from 10:45 to 7 am! He wakes up to eat then goes back to sleep until 9. It’s been 3 weeks now and we’re loving it!
Ashlee O.
I had a premature baby (6 weeks early) she spent a few weeks in the NICU. She came home and had to adjust being home. She became attached me to where she wanted to feel my touch. I waited until she was around 8lbs to use this. I ordered this because the weighted feeling makes her feel secure. I haven’t had any issues with her sleeping. getting ready to order the sleep sack!
Erika F.
My son is 7 weeks old and is colicky. Nights are extremely tough. The most he slept was 2.5 hours. The first night with the Zen Swaddle, he slept 5 hours! (I’ll take it!!) We are still in the first week of using the swaddle, but I already highly recommend it.
Heather K.
One of the first times she went to bed with the swaddle on she slept the most ever! Went from 2 hours to about 6!
Jordan P.
My 3 month old doesn’t sleep any better with the zen swaddle. She breaks out of it every time! Not only does she get her hands free but she gets her legs free too. I’m sure it works great for some people but for my power kicker it just doesn’t work.
Erica G.
Our son is due in July, and this product came highly recommended by different friends and family members. The material is extremely soft, and I can’t wait to see it work it’s magic on our newest addition!
amanda C.
My son sleeps pretty well in this, surprisingly! I should have grabbed the zen one also!
LiAnne C.
My son wiggles out of it. it’s a challenge to wrap him up and keep the sand part up around his chest and sides as I swaddle him. Once I go get him secured in the swaddle he kicks his feet and wiggles his arm and Houdinis his way out of it. And in order to change his diaper in the middle of the night I have to undress him. I think it would be less stressful if it was a combination of the sleep sack and a swaddle
Isabella W.
My baby LOVES IT! He’s so happy when we put it on him and he falls asleep so fast! I highly recommend it! Definitely going to be purchasing more products from Nested Bean as he grows up!
Mackenzie G.
This is actually my second swaddle I’ve purchased from Nested Bean! We have been really enjoying it and it has resulted in sounder, longer periods of sleep for our little one. However, she is now at a weird in-between stage where she’s almost too big for the inner leg sack but she’s not quite big enough to go without it. When we have attempted to use the swaddle without the inner sac, she somehow manages to wriggle so much the swaddle comes up around her face...we’ve just continued using the inner sac and she occasionally kicks her legs out. Overall, we are still enjoying it!
Courtney B.
My little one went from sleeping 30 minutes - 1 hour At a time to 4-5 hours in a few days. She is 8 weeks.
Courtney P.
Our little girl is 7 weeks and finally sleeping for more than 2-3 hours. Most recently she slept a full 5 hours!
Lori F.
Bought this for a 7 week old grandson still getting up every 2 hours...first nap in the Zen swaddle he slept 3 ½ hrs and is now sleeping 4 ½ - 5 hours....BEST BABY GIFT EVER!!
Cheyenne S.
I was really hoping this would be the magic bullet others had described, but unfortunately it was just okay. The first night we used it was awful! The baby was up every hour and I never wanted to use it again, but we powered through. By night four she was sleeping as long as she did in a normal swaddled. We never got a stretch longer then what we had gotten in a normal swaddle. The Velcro is really strong and holds. It was almost a little too strong at first and really had to be ripped apart, but it got easier to use. It would be nice if they would add a zipper at the bottom for night time diaper changes.
Sarah V.
It worked, I think. It was too big for my little girl (although she was within the weight) and it was such a pain to put on her and get everything in the right places due to her being small. So while it worked we are returning it due to that.
Marianthe B.
I really wish I had understood how to use this swaddle, but that is my fault for not reading directions or checking out any videos. I didn't realize that the weighted part goes UNDER the velcro arms, so I was just letting the weighted part flop over the other pieces and of course my baby would kick it off through the night. Had I figured out how to use it properly I think it would have been really beneficial for her sleep. As soon as she seemed like she was going to roll (and now ironically at 6 months, she isn't rolling at all) we started putting her in the Nested Bean sleep sacks which I love. I'll just have to use the swaddle properly for the next baby!
Justin M.
From no sleep to lots of sleep for baby and me!
Brittany R.
I do enjoy the swaddle. I don’t know that it’s made a crazy difference in his sleep I feel like I should have waited for the Zen One to restock because I wanted that originally, but was desperate! Russell is 2 1/2 months old an his startle reflex is still bad but hates his arms in a swaddle. So hopefully the Zen One restocks soon and maybe I will return the swaddle for that. :-). -Brittany
Katy B.
Love the nested bean swaddle! This is the 2nd one I’ve bought her! It’s the only thing we’ve bought to be able to hold her arms down and prevent her from waking herself up! I highly recommend them!
Maria P.
It’s like flipping a switch!!! We used it the very first day it arrived and almost instantly he fell asleep. He went from waking every 3 hrs to sleeping 6.5hrs! We feel so blessed to have tried this swaddle, he’s a pretty strong baby so he always came escaped our blanket swaddles, he can’t fight this one! Definitely recommend it.
Jerusalem C.
This is my fifth baby and I am just finding out about this swaddle. I love it and wish I had it for all my babies. The Velcro is the best one I have seen so far and snuggles my baby so well. The beaded part of the swaddle is one of my favorite part as well.
Mimi D.
My little one fell asleep in her bassinet within 15 minutes! She NEVER falls asleep in the bassinet without being held and bounced, and she NEVER stays asleep in the bassinet! I'm so happy! Absolute best product ever!
Taylor H.
Our baby girl who is 12 weeks old has gotten her best sleep through the nights with this!
Mokler, V.
I’m not 100% sold on this swaddle. My 6week old is still able to break out of it, even when he looks like he’s in a straight jacket. I do feel like it helps him stay asleep longer. Which is a total plus!
Jamie P.
Very nice quality swaddle. But it not make a difference in my son's ability to sleep longer or not. I'm also noticing that since he kicks so much, his feet pop out after pushing the weighted front down with his feet. I will probably stop using this swaddle sooner than I expected because I don't see how it is safe with his feet kicking out.
Sorry to say I am not one of the reviewers who saw big changes as a result of swaddle.
Jackie R.
We are obsessed with the nested bean swaddle! I started using it with my 10 week old son and he went from 5-6 hours a night to 8+ hours within two days!!! I’d highly recommend this swaddle over any other brand!!!
Rebecca H.
I bought this for my 6th child, excited to see if it worked better than the traditional swaddle blankets I have always used. The material is soft and the swaddle well made, but I found the material too stretchy, my son can move his hands up by his face no matter how tight I wrap the blanket. Also, after a couple nights, the arms of the blanket are so stretched the velcro goes past the material it can stick to, making a loose swaddle. I loved the idea of the weighed blanket, but did not see any significant changes in his sleep pattern after a few weeks of use.
Chelsea M.
I feel like it could work, but my 1 month old likes to break out of it. I've tried wrapping him every way and he still breaks out. He doesn't seem to like being bundled
Erin A.
WE LOVE OUR ZEN SWADDLE!!!!
I waited until my daughter was 2 months old to start using the swaddle. I didn’t want her to sleep past the 4-5 hour mark because babies can’t regulate their blood sugars that young.
ButLetMeTellYou!
Since the first night of putting her in it, she will sleep from 10pm-5/6am STRAIGHT!!!! I feel like I am killin it with this newborn stage because of the sleep we are all getting
This is a MUST HAVE for every baby every where!
Megan J.
I bought the Zen swaddle for my 2 month old. The fabric is very nice quality and super soft. The weighted parts are also not bulky or cumbersome and the overall design is pleasant. However I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and it has not changed my daughters sleeping habits at all. I mainly purchased it because she would wake up in the early morning to feed (between 2-3am) and then be super restless the rest of the morning, waking up sometimes every hour until I got her up for the day at 7am. I was hoping the weighted swaddle would help her with this but it hasn’t. I’ve tried both arms swaddled, one out and then both out but she still doesn’t sleep well after her feeding. Again 3 stars because it is a well made product and seems to help some people but it didn’t work for us like I had hoped.
Kristin J.
Not the miracle I was hoping for. Haven’t seen a difference between this and any other swaddle we’ve used. My 2 month old still wakes up every 3 hours and fusses most of the night kicking his legs and trying to get his arms out.
Tarali W.
Let me tell you. These products are AMAZING. I was skeptical at first because my baby always disliked being swaddled, but the first night I used the Zen One, my little one went from waking every 3 hours, to sleeping 6 plus hours straight! This has saved my life. I tell all my mom friends to buy it and you should too! I also use the Zen Swaddle which also amazing
Ruxandra G.
It worked like a charm, my baby was sleeping about 3 hours a night. With the swaddle she’s sleeping 5 to 6 hours with no interruptions. Truly is a life saver!
Crystal M.
I love it. So easy to use. I wish I had it since day one. Sleeps longer and I don’t have to worry about him wiggling out in the middle of the night.
Mackenzie G.
Was definitely skeptical about this purchase, but I’m pleasantly surprised! Our 7 week old slept a 6 hour stretch for the first time this week. She seems to take more sound naps when using the Zen Swaddle and is already sleeping longer stretches at night. We just purchased our second swaddle so we have a back-up while this one is in the wash! Although my baby isn’t sleeping through the night, this swaddle is definitely worth the money as it has helped her sleep longer stretches, which this momma is so grateful for!
Felecia P.
We love the Zen Swaddle. My two month old is sleeping 6 hours (in his bassinet) getting fed and changed then sleeping another 4 hours. He loves the swaddle and we can lay him down awake and he will self soothe without crying in less then 10 minutes.!
Eileen N.
In an a hazy attempt to get more than 2 hours of sleep a night because my newborn would not sleep unless being held..despite my former go to swaddling sleep sack.. I ordered this. Finally got her to sleep for 2 hour increments after the first night! After trying 3 other " models " this is by far the winner.
Sara B.
I did not notice much of a difference with her sleep
April C.
My daughter is still pretty young (2 months) and breastfed so she wakes pretty frequent during the night to feed. I have been able to get at least one good 4-5hr stretch which has been very helpful. My only disappointment is that there isn’t a zipper for diaper changes. It’s a little frustrating in the middle of the night to have to unswaddle and re-swaddle for a quick change and completely waking her. Otherwise, I’m really happy with the purchase and will probably purchase another when she gets bigger.
Sarah R.
By day 3 my newborn was sleeping longer stretches at night! We love our zen swaddle.
Jennifer B.
My baby likes it but doesnt want to keep his hands and feet in it. Somehow he gets out lol but that's ok. It still helps him sleep better
Sarah L.
I absolutely love the design of this product. The cloth is sooo soft, comfortable, and breathable. My babe was exceptionally difficult with sleep for the first two months of his life, until I finally broke down and bought the zen swaddle. He used to be so restless and is now sleeping peacefully in 3 hour stretches since the very first night. I use mine every night.
Meg M.
I really like this swaddle! It is really a great idea & seems to work well with my baby. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because since the size goes from 0-6 months it is a tad large for my 10 week old. He’s too large for the infant pocket and baggy when swaddled regularly. However, we realllly like this swaddle!!
Mary P.
Love the weight and soft fabric but my 2 month old gets his arms out of it a lot more than he does with other swaddles/sleepsacks
