I was really excited about using this swaddle with my almost 2 month old! Unfortunately he wiggles his arms out pretty easily. The material is very soft and light, I think that's the reason why he can get out of it.

My baby gurl absolutely loves it!! It makes her sleep for longer hours ❤️

Using for my 1 month old baby & I believe she likes the weight, but I feel like the swaddle stretches out so easily. Even when I put down past her armpits, its always riding up and so hard to get tight enough for my little houdini. The little cover flap with the weighted beans moves around too. I've washed it twice, and it washed up nicely. I did purchase the sleep sack, because I think that will perform better overall once she's out of the swaddle stage.

Thank goodness for this! This instantly calms my baby

I figured my son would be able to use it right away, but he kicks right out of the sack. Also, he could get his arms out even though it was tightened pretty well.

I can't say that my daughter isn't sleeping better in the Zen sleep sack, but I can't say for sure either whether it's the sleep sack or that she's getting older and thus sleeping better.
I have a great deal of difficulty getting the sleep sack on tight enough that she can't wriggle her arms out. If she can move them at all, then she doesn't sleep because she will just work and work at getting them out. It sometimes takes several tries to get her in with arms pinned down tight enough so she can't do that.
It is extremely inconvenient to change a diaper at night. There is no zipper or anything to open it at the bottom so you have to fully unswaddle the baby, then back to the challenge of getting her arms back in tight enough that she can't get them out again, all of which wakes up the baby so much more than I'd like for a middle of the night feed!

It’s a great concept and it’s seems like my son enjoys it, I just wish that instead of unswaddling him completely to change a dirty diaper in the night, the bottom had a zipper. That way he doesn’t wake up completely.
Kara B.
My 3mo old started waking every 2hrs at night and the first night he wore the Zen swaddle he slept 10hrs! And then again the next night. He is now routinely sleeping through the night. I changed to a regular swaddle one night just to see and he never settled, so I put the zen back on and he slept soundly. I LOVE the zen swaddle!
Brittney R.
Baby is a horrible napper, put baby in swaddle and she slept two hours, put it on for bedtime and she slept four hours straight when we were lucky to get two.

I bout 2 for my twins. One of them tore by the velcro a few weeks in. I contacted nested bean and they sent me a new one free of charge. We love using these swaddles. My babies sweat a lot and these are perfect to keep their temperature down.
Kristiana H.
I absolutely love this swaddle! We wrestled with blankets but our baby always got her hands out and startled herself awake. With this product I wrap her snuggly and she calms down within seconds then stays asleep for 6+ hours at nighttime. It's amazing!
Katelyn M.
This didn’t help my 6 week old son sleep any
Better or any worse. I like it as a swaddle but I don’t think that it effects sleep.
Sara J.
I really want to love this swaddle, but it hasn’t worked as well as I’d hoped it would for my little one. We needed a bigger swaddle after he outgrew some other ones we had and a friend recommended these. I don’t think we were doing it wrong because I watched the video on the website but my baby just kept fighting it and kicking the inside weighted part out. It was hard to get snug sometimes because I felt like there needed to be even more Velcro for it to stick to on the back. Also didn’t help him sleep (but maybe that’s because we got them during sleep regression time at 3.5 months)
Katelin H.
The Zen Classic is a good swaddle for daytime, when I unswaddle baby for feeds, but at night I use the Zen One because it unzips from the bottom, allowing me to feed her while swaddled. I wish this swaddle did the same, because swaddling baby with arms down in the Zen One doesn't really work.
Jeannetta H.
Love this product. My baby went from waking up every 1.5- 2 hours to sleeping 5-6 hours straight!
Carlie T.
Baby didn’t like it
Heather S.
It’sa great product my baby sleeps better and longer now that we have the swaddle!
Chloe G.
First night our 7 week old slept over 4 hrs through the night. He made it from 9 PM to 6 AM. Best designed swaddle with soft, soft material! We are extremely happy & well rested parents to start off this Monday! Yay!
Jeannie T.
I gave these as a gift to my daughter. The baby is just past 6 weeks old and sleeps VERY well in the swaddlers. My daughter found this really helped calm her down and get her to sleep. She has been using them since birth. We're so happy we found them - life would be very different if we hadn't! Thanks.
Kaitlyn G.
This swaddle is easy to use and I am going to order another one.
Melinda S.
It’s helped calm our 5 week old daughter at night and definitely has improved at staying asleep longer.
Holli T.
Love it. Started using it a week ago and already getting several more hours sleep out of my 6 week old.
Abeer A.
I think i should switch to a different design.
Sissy H.
Love! I a nurse and really wanted to get baby on a good sleep schedule and try to get him to sleep longer at night before I go back to work. We were waking about 2-3 times a night every night and at 7 weeks he eats 4-5 ounces so I wasn’t too concerned about him getting too hungry at night. On night 3 of using the sleep sack he slept ALL night until 5:30!!! Now on most nights he sleeps until 4:30-5:30 and I could not be more excited about it! Sometimes he will wake twice around 2-3, but overall we’re not waking up till 4-5!
Zoe V.
Absolutely love this swaddle my baby sleepers longer no longer having to hold my hand in her bassinet
Aleesha D.
So far I’m liking this product! My baby is 4 months old and usually takes him under an hour to go to sleep no matter what methods I use. But using this swaddle it takes him under 10 minutes to fall asleep. I’m happy that I can finally get more sleep in during the night. The fabric is quite stretchy so my baby is able to unswaddle himself and move his arms a lot which causes him to wake during his naps. But I like how there’s room at the bottom for leg movement.
Padraic S.
These work so well! We’ve been buying them as baby shower gifts and they’re such a big hit, if you use these from the day their born it does amazing things for their sleep!
Mary M.
Really love this swaddle, my son falls asleep fast and stays sound asleep in it. However in recent nights we had to stop using it because the velcro isn’t as strong as when we first purchased and my son has been able to break free from it causing a possible suffocation risk in the middle of the night. Love the concept, not sure if we just got a faulty swaddle.
Zoe V.
My baby use to wake up every 2 hrs or less than a hour now she’s sleeping up to 3 to 4 hours selling secure no more jumping in her sleep. Love this product i purchased 2. Want to try out the new swaddle next.
Teeal T.
Sleep trained my baby and after 1 night with the nested bean swaddle and her white noise machine she was comfortably putting herself to sleep. We did bath time, feeding, book, and then we swaddle her up, que the music from out sound machine and she knows once we start swaddling that it’s night night time!! We were struggling for months prior to this with her wanting to constantly be held or picked up as she slept. Now there is no fuss and no fear around bedtime
Caitlin C.
I don’t want to jinx myself, butttt , this beautiful invention made my newborn go from sleeping in 1 hour increments, to sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time :)
Amanda B.
Bought a nested bean sleep sac for my toddler and now preparing for a new baby with the nested sleep swaddle! Can’t wait to use it!
Ashley S.
It was great for the first week or so but now its ripping around the velcro...
Svetlana K.
I wanted to love this swaddle and had high hopes. I love the weighed feature and can tell my baby responds to it. But my baby moves a lot in his sleep so the swaddle would move around and by the end of a nap he was turned 90 degrees in the swaddle each time. It just ended up making him angry and we only used it a handful of times. It would be amazing if the swaddle had arm holes and a zipper like other high end swaddles.
Gabriele S.
Even though it’s 0-3 months, it was waaaay too big for my newborn. I think it fits more like 3-6 months.
Judy O.
Bought two as a gift for our newborn grandson. His parents loved it,and didnt know if it was the swaddle ,but sleeping for 4 hours at a time! Wonderful!
Morgan M.
I really like the swaddle, the only downside is there is t a zipper to change a diaper. So you have to unswaddle and take them completely out of it to change them.
Meaghan M.
We're obsessed with this swaddle!! We've been having a hard time getting our little guy to fall into a deep sleep. Even swaddled he would stir a lot and wake himself up after 2 hours or so during the night, or 30-45 min during the day, then be really cranky from lack of sleep. The very first time we used this swaddle, we set the weighted part on his chest and he immediately calmed down. Now we swaddle him, pull his beanie down over his eyes, and give him a pacifier, and he's out cold within just a few minutes. Seriously it's amazing.
I do agree with some others that we have to wrap it around him pretty far to get it tight, but I actually prefer that over having to buy multiple different sizes like we did with another popular brand of Velcro swaddle.
Leslie F.
Nice swaddle, but only used once. My babe didn’t like it so it made no difference for us :(
Karlie H.
Our little dude loves it!! He sleeps so much better at night now!
Chelsea U.
The Nested Bean helped our little guy get to sleep the first night we used it. Bedtime was so much easier! Since then, we’ve used it every night and have gotten more and longer sleeps. Totally worth it.
Sara K.
This has definitely helped our little man extend his naps and feel more secure. The fabric is soft like butter and I really believe this has made a difference in his ability to stay asleep for a bit longer.
Jasmine M.
My son started having the worst startle reflex and waking up all the time. He went from sleeping 4-5 hours to 1-2. With the nested bean swaddle, he sleeps so my better! Back to 4-5 hours again.
Alyssa L.
Our baby boy was sleeping for 3 hour periods and waking up fussy. (10 weeks) I know this is normal for his age, but when we tried the nested bean swaddle, he lets mom get a full night sleep. YAY!
Larissa F.
I love how easy it is to get in and out of this swaddle! Even though we have a few different types of swaddles to choose from, my guy has been using this every night since we got it. As for quality of sleep, he has been giving us 5hr stretches (he’s 7 weeks old), which has slowly increased from 4hrs since we got the swaddle. Although we haven’t seen a large increase in sleep length, I think the weight has helped him be able to soothe himself to sleep or back to sleep if he stirs.
Molly H.
This swaddle is a game changer. The only reason I’m giving it four stars versus five is because the directions are a little unclear. Every night my little guy sleeps a little more and at almost 11 weeks we got 8 hours last night. AH-mazing! I know what the little bean on the top is for but gotta learn more about the weights on the sides. Really recommend and will probably be a swaddle I end up gifting at baby showers!
Maribel B.
Once I swaddled my baby the first night she slept 6 hours straight, woke up for a feeding then right back to sleep for another 6 hours
Anna M.
We love the concept of it and it works well for the most part! We noticed small little holes near the Velcro seams after one use, which makes us a little more hesitant to use it and rip it even more.
Karla R.
Gifted this wonderful item to a new but tired mother. This is a miracle wrap! Every baby should have one!
Laura P.
We purchased this in hopes of getting our 12 week old daughter to fall asleep a little earlier. She was giving us about 6 hours per night, but not falling asleep for the night until between 2-3am. After about 2 or 3 nights with the new swaddle, she now falls asleep between 10:30-11:30pm (on average) and sleeps till about 6:30! We are happy parents :)

At first we thought this swaddle was a God send, the weighted blanket is definitely helpful in helping out little one to calm and sleep better. The only thing we noticed is that over time the side wings to pull across his body become loose, so now to get a snug fit we have to really pull on the fabric and wrap it around his back pretty far. It makes it hard to swaddle a squirmy baby this way, and also it rarely will keep his arms down in a secure way, so he will often wake up earlier than needed because his arms are loose or have bunched up and we need to reswaddle him.
Rossary G.
Since purchased my baby has been able to sleep more than 3 hrs per night! Love it
Carisa N.
Unfortunately didn’t help my daughter sleep. Switched back to our regular swaddle.
Robin W.
So far we have loved this swaddle for our 7 week old. I had low expectations because my first was not a great sleeper and I also understand that babies change so much when it comes to sleep! We have been using the swaddle since he was 3-4 weeks old and it’s the only one that does not bunch up by his face. It stays where it’s supposed to! Our little guy is very large for his age and I wish there was a bigger size because we’re not ready to give up swaddling yet. I did purchase the zen one sac so I’ll be venturing to that one next. Also, the material of these is so soft and they are so well made. I wish I had this for our first born! Glad I took the chance this time.
Alison G.
While we haven't gotten consistent length sleeps during the night (hitting the three month growth spurt), he has slept more soundly, falls asleep drowsy, and is better able to self sooth back to sleep. We have definitely noticed a difference thanks to the zen swaddle. We have tried countless other brands and styles that were recommended, but none have helped as consistently.
Amber H.
Seems to work great! My six week old sleeps longer during the night. Used to be every 2 hours she would wake up now it’s 3 to 4.
Sarah S.
I love this swaddle except we have had it less than three weeks and the Velcro is already tearing off... I am sad because the swaddle works great, but for the price the quality is poor.
Jasmine E.
Unfortunately daughter suffers from reflux so bed time can be harder to accomplish but she loves to be held and feel secure, the swaddle is perfect at doing that. She is already sleeping for longer periods at night than before we swaddled her. Worth the purchase
Ellen P.
The first day we tried this with our daughter she went from waking every 2 hours to sleeping for a full 5 hours.
Brianne A.
My newborn will finally sleep in his bassinet thanks to this swaddle! It was a rough two weeks of sleepless nights until I remembered I had this from when my toddler was a baby. It instantly calms my little one so he can even fall asleep on his own which is pretty great.
Hannah S.
Really like this swaddle—the print is adorable. One thing I wish is that it had is a way to secure the weighted piece around the baby’s chest. My son almost always kicks it down, and it ends up by his feet. The swaddle arms keep his arms tucked tight, but the weighted piece is almost useless most nights. The Zen One was the best, but part of that is that everything was tucked tight and stayed put. I was so sad when he grew out of that one.
Gina M.
We love these swaddles! Had one for my son, and thought it was worth it to invest in a second when we had our daughter. 3 months old and she sleeps through the night (9-7) most nights. Highly recommend!
Amanda H.
Ever since we used this, we have had better naps and sleep at night. I will recommend this to any mom I meet!
Richie Mae E.
This is nice. My baby slept 8 hrs straight the first night. But the following night she only had 6-7 hrs of sleep thru the night, which is not bad.
Nikoletta T.
Oh we love it!!! About to order everything on the site!
Instead of 10-20 minutes she sleeps 2-3 h !!!
JESSICA K.
The swaddle is great quality. Unfortunately it didn’t have any effect on my 6 week old’s sleep. But it doesn’t hate it so we use it every night to help signify bedtime for him.
Barbara S.
I gave it to my son and daughter-in-law for the newborn and they really like it.
Lauren O.
Was hoping it would work and make baby sleep longer as advertised. Still only sleeping 4 hours overnight
Angela D.
It’s definitely just okay. I thought the bean bag was interesting and wanted to try that part out.
April B.
Ok swaddle compared to other swaddle sacks I've used. It's pretty easy to break out of if the baby is perfectly still from the moment you don it. I wish the fuzz for the velcro to stick to went down a little further, I think that would make it more difficult for the baby to wiggle underneath. Unfortunately no change in sleeping habits like I was miraculously hoping for. It's been 2 weeks and no real change.
chelsea s.
I purchased the swaddle blanket and the sleep sak, both are great. Within two nights I saw a major difference in my little ones sleep.. I’m truly great full
#onetiredmomma
Penni F.
Just ok. The baby who is 10 weeks old didn't seem to do any better with sleep. In fact, she could get her arms out of it easier than other swaddles. That seemed to wake her - arms moving.
Jennifer H.
Customer service is great. Love the product and they back it up!
Michelle C.
Love this swaddle!!! So does my son!!
Lenee K.
My baby loves this and sleeps through out the night!
Lesley H.
We have used this for 2 nights now and our baby is definitely falling back to sleep faster once he is done with his bottle.
Samantha H.
This swaddle keeps our Houdini baby’s arms inside the swaddle thanks to the velcro. Thank you!
Jane R.
Purchased for my 1 month old granddaughter! Love the puffin print. I do wish there was a more accessible bottom for night diaper changes though. Over all, wonderful quality and definitely would recommend!
Crista M.
I love the classic zen swaddle! My six week old started sleeping 4-6 hours instead of 2-3 hours. I love the weighted aspect of it. I did have an issue with a tear by the seam but emailed customer service and a new one was sent immediately. Customer service was fast, easy and friendly to talk with. I will be getting their onesie as well. Highly recommend this product!
Maria C.
Good swaddle. Keeps child comfy.
Delores R.
Bought for my Great Granddaughter because she won't sleep without being wrapped in one.
Eric S.
Helped my little sleep better for sure, we tried the swaddle one first. Worked great, after a month of using it we did start to notice some tearing by the Velcro. But other then that it has worked great!
Lori F.
I love these!! I wish the legs had more room but all in all it is great
Wilke H.
We love it! She started sleeping through the night.
Michelle H.
I wanted to love this swaddle and hoped that it would be a magic sleep cute but sadly it wasn’t. I do think it helped my baby calm down easier when putting him to sleep but it really didn’t extend his sleep too much. He still gives us at max a 4-5hr stretch at night. I do like the feel of the fabric and the Velcro which isn’t too loud like other swaddles. My biggest complaint though is that my baby will not stay in the swaddle. He breaks out every time!!! I’ve used other swaddles where this is not an issue. I have to re swaddle him about 3 or 4 times which gets very annoying. I would imagine that the zen one sleep sack with the zipper would be a better purchase for that reason.
Hannah C.
I love the Zen Swaddle and I’m only 4 nights in! It made such a difference with my baby while going through startle reflex phase. We went from a restless, VERY noisy baby (even though asleep) that would wake every 1-2 hours, to peaceful sleep in stretches as long as 4.5 hours. Only complaint is having to completely unswaddle for diaper changes.
Maren B.
I wish this product had some Velcro on the other side as well. It doesn’t stay tight enough and my bath can wiggle her hands out sometimes. It’s hard to get that first side tight enough
Nicole A.
Helps her calm down and sleep through the night
Priscilla V.
Baby sleeps from 5-8 hours in this swaddle. My husband said this was a smart purchase. I will be ordering more.
Jessica S.
Nothing really changed in my baby’s sleep pattern
Ashley M.
My not even 2 month old is sleeping 7 hours at night thanks to the zen swaddle!!
Ainslie D.
Very soft and snug! Good quality. It has definitely helped our 1 month old go for longer stretches and also helps her fall asleep faster once we put her down!
Ixchel F.
They have the best customer service ever. Plus it’s an amazing swaddle. You won’t be disappointed
Nicole A.
Baby stays calm and sleeps longer in her Zen Swaddle
Codi I.
No... this is not an ad & I hardly ever write reviews but this is worth it. Love this purchase. I used a Halo swaddle for the first 5 1/2 weeks of my newborns life. She screamed every time I swaddled her and then cry for at least 5-10 minutes every time I laid her in the crib. I am on my 4th day of using this swaddle. My little girl has not cried ONCE while putting this swaddle on her, she slept 9 hours straight last night. Oh and if that hasn’t convinced you enough to buy it, I have watched her put herself to sleep on the monitor more than once while wearing this swaddle, which we struggled with before.
Lauren G.
This product is well made and is exactly what I expected. My LO loved it for the first couple nights, but didn't seem to like it after that. I don't think it allows for a tight enough swaddle. But those couple nights were great.
