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.

Baby does sleep better

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.

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

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!
Lyndsay T.
Seriously the best purchase for our little one! She always wiggles out of a regular swaddle and is the wiggliest sleeper. She wakes herself up all night and struggles to stay asleep despite being tired. She wants to be held all the time to sleep, but that's just not realistic. We purchased the zen swaddle and OH MY WORD! First night - baby girl slept through the night (8 hrs people!). Second night - same thing. Every night since - same thing. And she wakes up so happy and rested now. I'm buying this for every baby shower I ever attend from now on... THANK YOU!
Aliona T.
A good choice for a good sleeping...
Deanna D.
I had contacted the company for a return because I wasn’t convinced it was working. Tonight I used another swaddle because I had packed the Nested swaddle in a suitcase for a trip. My LO cried and cried. I tried everything. Eventually I thought maybe it is the swaddle... found the Nested Bean in the suitcase and boom... sleeping babe... I will be buying the sleep sack too!
Ashlyn M.
Our child doesn’t like to be swaddle, never has, since his birth. We would always leave his arms out because he would pull them out whenever he was swaddled. The zen swaddle helped him sleep longer at first, but never helped him stay asleep. He was only sleeping for an hour or two, which was why we got him the zen swaddle after seeing so many advertisements for the nested bean and how it helped many other parents of children would didn’t sleep well. Sadly, it worked to get him to sleep a couple hours at a time and being able to move him from our bed to his bassinet but just didn’t work for him to keep him asleep.
Ericka F.
My daughter was waking up multiple times during the night and struggling to sleep. Now with the swaddle she falls asleep within 15 minutes and sleeps until 5 at 3 months old. To say the swaddle is a miracle is an understatement.
Christie J.
My newborn baby loves this swaddle ! He is only 4 days new and has slept in 4 hour stretches. Super soft and easy to use !
Alison S.
She sleeps better. Our go to swaddle !
T M.
Baby not here yet! Was a gift. Thanks!
Pamela A.
My little one slept longer on the first night! And a few nights later while we were washing his laundry, he went to bed without it and was up every hour to every 2 hours! Now its not as bad, but he definitely sleeps more sound wearing his sleep sack!! Can't wait to buy more!
Brooke L.
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER AND LIFE SAVER!!
Our little one hated being swaddled when we brought her home from the hospital. She would only sleep for 10 minutes in her bassinet because she preferred to be held. She would sleep 3-4 hours maximum while being held. We tried multiples kinds of swaddles and thought we’d tried everything and that’s just how she was going to sleep. Then a good friend highly recommended the Zen Swaddle. It took the first night for her to get used to it but from the 2nd night on she has slept anywhere from 6-9 hours a night! This has made life so much easier and we get much more rest. I love it so much!
Stephanie B.
I really wanted to love this swaddle but it didn’t do the job for us. Used it for about a week consistently and didn’t change hours of sleep. The material is nice and it’s a great swaddle otherwise but definitely not worth the hype. My little one does not like her arms wrapped up so I tried it with arms out and it still didn’t work well for us. I wonder if she liked her arms in if it would of worked better. If your baby likes being fully swaddled it’s worth a shot. Good quality swaddle.
Selena A.
As a Mimi that has a grandchild overnight 4 days a week this is a God send!!! Baby girl is 3 months old and is slept through the night completely the first night we used it. I absolutely love it and so does she. I'd recommend it to anyone
Samantha K.
The Zen Swaddle has been great for my 7 week old! In just a few days he went from not sleeping well during naps (30-45 minutes) to napping for 2-3 hours. I just wish it had a zipper at the bottom to make middle of the night diaper changes easy without having to take him out of the swaddle and then reswaddle him to change his diaper.
Ashley S.
My son was only sleeping two to three hours during the night until I started using the Zen swaddle and know he sleeps about 5 hrs. This was such a life saver for me when I returned to work.
chakia e.
My son is 2 months and wasn’t sleeping longer than 2 to 3 hours a time before I purchased mine. He is now sleeping in 6 hour increments! I would same it’s a game changer for this momma! 5stars!!!!!
jessica l.
Worth it! We absolutely love this swaddle. We tried multiple other swaddles and our son hated them all and would only want to sleep on us. He went from sleeping 45min -2 hours independently to now 3-5 hours independently. we are thinking of ordering an extra just to have on hand and will stick with the nested bean company for transition out of swaddle!
Jean M.
Love these swaddles - they've been a game changer for us (or at least, they're what we put our wriggly LO's vastly improved sleeps down to). Only negative is that they're quite short. Our boy is just 2 months old and already nearly too long for it - not sure how a six month old would fit! :( we've purchased the Zen sack anyway but would really have loved to keep swaddling our boy for longer.
Christine O.
My son knows it’s time for bed when I swaddle him in the sleep sack swaddle! I think it helps him fall asleep since he feels like someone is holding him.
Marissa B.
If there was no Velcro, the sleep sack would be great. My daughter gets out of it all the time.
Elizabeth S.
It’s a good swaddle, it’s just not a miracle cure for us. Velcro is stronger than any other swaddle are used, and I like the interior pockets for newborns.
spencer m.
We were sleeping maybe 2-4 hours a night and it took about 3-4 days after we got the Zen swaddle for it to begin working but now she’s sleep anywhere from 4-6 hours a night. This swaddle is a blessing, and later we will be getting the sac!
Brittany U.
Works great for our newborn who struggles to stay asleep once he leaves our arms. We use this every night and tends to have longer stretches of sleep so we can get some sleep as well!
Teresa M.
Unfortunately, for our 2 month old son, the swaddle hasn’t really increased the length of his sleep. We were hoping for longer intervals of sleep but that has not been the case. I’m also surprised to see that the 0-6 month swaddler does not look like it is going to fit him very long as his feet are already stretching the bottom pouch (he is 22.75 inches in length as of today and 13lbs for reference). Washed it once and tumble dried on low
Laura K.
Works wonderfully! Baby was fussy so much daughter decided to try it out. Baby slept snuggled for 2 hours giving mommy a nice nap. Baby 24 hrs old!
Alison B.
My daughter absolutely loves to be swaddled, but she was always still a little fussy. The nested bean swaddle had her asleep in about 5 minutes! So thankful for it.
Keri W.
Love this product. Really makes a difference at night and when my baby gets really fussy. We wrap her in her Nested Bean and put her in her swing. She loves it.
Cassandra A.
My little Ollie loves it!! Keeps him nice and cozy and helps him sleep for hours!!!
Eva R.
This thing is amazing! The second I place my baby inside he starts going to sleep. I'm not struggling to have to sway and rock him to sleep. Just place him inside and he's out! I started using this last night and last night was the longest he's ever slept! Thank you!
Jessica E.
After a week and a half of using the nested bean swaddle my little guy has already had multiple nights of sleeping straight through the night and falling right to sleep when we lay him down for his naps. Definitely extremely happy with this purchase. It has been a life saver!
Drew M.
We love it, baby loves it! Buying another right now so that we can rotate while this is in the wash. Also buying any and all expecting friends this as a gift.
Lee Ann
baby not born yet, but it looks great
Nancy B.
Looks very nice. It’s a gift. Will write a review later.
