What is The Cuddle Effect™?
Medical experts agree: it’s not just the swaddling, the rocking, the lullabies that soothe your baby to sleep. It’s your touch. And it’s vital to your baby’s well-being. Recent scientific research on Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) shows that babies experience the Cuddle Effect when they feel gentle pressure in the places you naturally hold them. That means longer, sweeter sleep—until they’re back in your arms.
-
Which size is best for my baby?
For the product you are considering check its size chart. Your baby should not be below the minimum weight and should have at least 2-3 inches to grow before growing past the maximum height.
-
What’s the difference between Classic and Premier products?
The Classic line is perfect for year-round use! The fabric is 100% cotton.
The Premier line is more lightweight and breathable than the Classic line, making it perfect for warmer climates or babies who overheat easily! The fabric is a blend of 70% bamboo + 30% cotton.
-
Can I swaddle with my baby’s arms free?
Yes, our Zen Swaddle can be wrapped with your baby’s arms free! Please check out our swaddle transition plan (at the bottom of this page) for different ways to wrap your baby in the swaddle!
-
When should I transition my baby out of a swaddle?
Once your baby starts showing signs of rolling over, it's time to start the transition from a swaddle to a sleep sack. The Zen Swaddle® can be wrapped with your baby's arms free, to ease this transition! The Zen Sack™ is a great transition from the swaddle because it provides gentle pressure and additional comfort to your baby during sleep.
-
How much weight is in each product?
Physiotherapy standards were used to determine the appropriate weight in the Zen Sleepwear. These weight requirements ensure that the weight to body-weight ratio is maintained well below the recommended Physiotherapy standard of 1:10. Depending on the size of the product, the weighted parts range from 1 to 5 ounces.
Amber H.
I really love the Zen Swaddle and my little seems to love it too! My only suggestion would be to put a zipper in for easy midnight diaper changes!
Saira G.
I love this swaddle! It is great quality❤ I love the colors and how the baby can use it as a newborn all the way to 6 months. Its super convinient if you want to save money! Again customer service is amazing and very helpful!
Rebecca R.
We love the zen swaddle! Such a great purchase!
Erica B.
I liked the soft material and that the velcro wasn't scratchy. Maybe this would work for a brand-new newborn, but my 2-3 mo old would squirm a little and completely pull this swaddle apart in any direction, no matter how firmly my husband or I wrapped him in it. And the velcro wasn't very strong either.
Catherine J.
The first night I put my 6 week daughter in this swaddle she slept for an extra hour in between feedings at night! It was an instant success, highly recommend!
Lorraine N.
Love it
Anastasiya L.
The swaddle is nice. Good quality and the velcro is super strong; almost too strong. I I really like the extra weight on the sides. However, the length of the swaddle is very short. My daughter is 6 weeks old and her legs barely had any extra space. I can’t imagine that she would be able to fit into it at 3 months, let alone 6.
Alana C.
He doesn't like when I wrap him but once I'm finished he's out like a light! He does wiggle out of it sometimes after wearing it so long. We try very hard to wrap him tightly so that he can not wiggle those arms up!
Rachel Z.
I wanted to love this.. after 4 nights, he Hudini'd his way right out of it each night. And I was wrapping him up super tight! It would be on backwards and hands out and wrapped around his neck (not in a scary way) by morning. So not my jam
Katlynn C.
This swaddle worked for the first couple weeks and then didn’t do much after that. My baby kicks so much that she actually kicks off the sack itself… she also pushes her arms out. When she’s moving around the fabric pulls up to her face and it makes me super nervous. I swaddle her tight as well. For how how expensive this product is I was hoping for it to work and no cause this many issues. Will not be making another purchase.
Megan V.
This swaddle is nice for my 4 month old who likes to be swaddled with her arms out. Easy to wrap and the Velcro is fairly quiet which is nice.
Kim H.
Bought for my daughter who is a first time mom. This was a wonderful lifesaver. Easy to use, easy to clean and best of all our grandson loves it.
Brittany B.
I haven’t really noticed much of a change in my son’s sleep habits…he seems to sleep better during the day, but not sleeping any longer at night. He is also already breaking out of the swaddle, even though it’s wrapped tightly. I’m bummed because I was so excited for this and thought it’d make a big difference, but it doesn’t seem like this is for us…
Emma C.
Since using the swaddle my newborn has been sleeping 4 1/2-5 hour stretches. He was not sleeping that long before purchasing it. The only thing I don’t like is that he’s able to work his hands up and it causes the swaddle to be all bunched up around his neck/face which makes me nervous. I think I will have to purchase the zen sack instead of using the swaddle
Anna G.
I love the material of this swaddle but the weighted part doesn’t stay in place well and it was very easy for my little one to get out of. Not worth the cost in my opinion!
Samantha O.
It's a well made swaddle and I bought it to help with daytime naps, but she doesn't really sleep and longer during the day with it on. At 8 weeks I can barely get her to sleep more than 20 minutes for a nap, but she sleep about 6 hours in one stretch at night (which she did before the swaddle)
Rachael Z.
We’ve been using this swaddle for a couple of weeks on our newborn. I bought it out of desperation in the middle of a hard night. He was about 7.5 lbs. when we started, and it was just small enough.
The swaddle is nice quality, soft, and stretchy. He hasn’t been able to get his arms out from the top or bottom. However, because of the stretchiness, his arms always end up near his face after a little while of wiggling.
It is a nice, easy swaddle to use. I gave it a three-star rating, however, because I feel that the weighted chest and sides make no difference in my baby’s sleep or calming compared to muslin and other Velcro swaddles we’ve used. Since the weights are the whole selling point of the product, I feel that it was not worth the higher price.
Every baby is different though, so I will keep it for future babies.
Ashley B.
Love these for both of our babies! We have 3 of them and use them every night.
Beth Z.
Baby slept 7 hours her first night wearing! The fabric is so soft and stretchy. And washes beautifully. Mom immediately purchased one for a friend with a newborn. Love, love, love this swaddle!
Signed,
A very happy Grandma
Leah F.
These are so easy to swaddle and leave plenty of room for baby to grow into while still working for little newborns!
Kerrie D.
It really works!
Katie L.
This swaddle has saved my sanity! My son is a month old and he would literally cry the second you put him down for bed. With this swaddle, he sleeps through the night until his next feeding. Love it!!!
Raelene S.
The zen swaddle doesn’t seem to calm my child or help them sleep longer as proposed. But the material is soft and high quality, the design is cute and it is something my little one could grow into.
Ashley s.
Unfortunately my baby can wiggle his legs out of the bottom so the weighted part is no longer on him, and gets his arms up and out of the swaddle. I have to rewrap him 1-2 times a night. Works for naps as he just wakes when he wiggles out. Would be better if the weighted part was sewn up the sides
Ashley S.
The Velcro is great and I think the gentle extra weight helps my baby with his startle reflex. The swaddle is well made and worth the cost.
Kylie F.
I bought this swaddle at 3am when I was exhausted and up for the 4th time with my baby. Ever since we received the swaddle we have had maybe one or two sleepless nights and that’s getting up every 2 hours. On a normal night we are up every 3-4 hours for feeding and right back to sleep. I love this swaddle and my baby loves this swaddle. She sleeps so much better in it! 10/10 would recommend this to any new parents. I personally plan on buying more of their products as my baby gets older! Definitely worth every dollar spent on it!
Maggie
My 4 week old baby girl went from waking up every time we set her down in her bassinet and waking every hour or so to sleeping in 2-3 hour stretches with no issues being laid down! It’s been a game changer for this tired mom of 4!
Jennifer M.
I bought a sleep sack for my first son when he started rolling over and couldn’t be swaddled anymore. He and I both loved it! When my newborn son had difficulty sleeping in his crib I immediately bought this swaddle blanket for him... it has helped so much! He’s 7 weeks old and will sleep 3-4 hour chunks in his crib now - yay! Thank you nested bean!
Kylie
Absolutely love this! My baby sleeps longer which means I sleep longer! If she doesn’t have it she doesn’t sleep as well. I would 100% recommend!
Nathan P.
It's supposed to be for 0 to 6 months and our little one is 6 weeks. The swaddle is entirely too big for him right now.
Kourtney C.
My baby loves this swaddle. He wasn't sleeping in the bassinet, but once I put this swaddle on him he fell asleep in it within 20 minutes. Very easy to put on and soft
Michelle K.
It’s not her thing... :( but hopefully it’ll work for the next baby! My baby girl right now hates being swaddled in anyway, even it touching her feet. she loves sleeping stretched out lol.
Jannie K.
I absolutely love this swaddle! My little one slept from four hour increments to sleeping 8-9 after purchasing this item! He also seemed to wiggle his way out of other swaddles, but this one he likes to stay nice and snug. Will definitely be purchasing other items from nested bean as he grows!
Brittany M.
This thing has changed our life. Our little girl was sleeping 10-3 every night which isn't bad. After 3 nights of this swaddle, she started sleeping 10-6 and is only 2 months old. She absolutely loves it and goes down with ease.
Garry W.
We get at least 3 or 4 more hours of sleep a night. We all love it.
Sandra S.
The zen swaddle is so ready to get on and off, it's the perfect amount of weight and the Velcro is super strong. My 7 week old just slept 8.5 hours in it. Love it so much we'll order another!
Shari T.
Love it
Kelly C.
We had this one from new born until 3 months. It was a life saver on many nights!
Grace P.
Love the quality!
Ashleigh
We LOVE our nested bean. We have four swaddles!! Will be buying the sacks and possibly the zen one for as she grows!!
Jamie M.
My 8 week old wriggles out of it every night. I will say I do think he sleeps better when he can keep it on but somehow he manages to break free. I can’t imagine this lasting till 6 months. I’ve watched all the videos on how to properly put it on but I think our issue is his arms are so long and stick out the bottom.
Alison S.
We have a one month old, our third child, who would not sleep for longer than an hour when on his back in his bassinet. We introduced the Zen swaddle and he’s now sleeping for two hours of longer during naps or during the night. Total game changer for us exhausted parents! Would highly recommend for any trouble sleepers out there.
Stephanie M.
its very soft and easy to put on baby. It just didn't help with his sleep.
Michelle P.
We love this swaddle! Use it every night
Mikalene W.
Only way my 1 month old will sleep in her bassinet. Within 3 nights we went from 2 hour stretches at night to 4. Life saver!
Courtney S.
It was exactly what I wanted for the new baby in the family.
Savannah T.
This swaddle/sack is great! Lots of room to grow into and holds him snug and warm all night.
Tristanne S.
I love the idea of this swaddle but we didn’t see much difference at all in sleep between this and the other (cheaper!) swaddles we already have. It would be a huge bonus if this had a zipper for nighttime diaper changes as well.
Kelly A.
We tried many swadddles and love this one the most. It’s simple and easy to use and keeps his little hands by his side. The weighted section is so comforting and we’ve noticed he’s able to self soothe and fall asleep on his own since we started using this swaddle!
Jolene S.
The best newborn swaddle! This is a baby must have! I recommend it to every mama!
emily m.
I love the material of the sleep sack but after almost 2 weeks I wouldn’t say my baby is sleeping any better. :(
Lexi Z.
1000 % recommended! Our little babe loves to be held and refuses to sleep without being held. This saved us big time, took about two weeks for us to finally get some 5 hour sleep stretches without being picked up but it’s so worth it.
Yi Z.
Love the fabric, my little sleeps well in it. The velcro makes it so easy to swaddle your little one in no time
Yi Z.
Love the soft fabric. Very effective velcro. Easy to swaddle your little with this!
Kayla N.
Great purchase! We bought this swaddle for my 3 week old and he has used it every night since (now 6 weeks old). One night it was still damp from being washed so we used a different swaddle. He had really interrupted sleep and we ended up having to switch him back to the Nested Bean half way through the night. I hadn't realized what a huge improvement it made! So worth the money. I'll be buying another.
Shane W.
Love this swaddle! Use it for both naps and bedtime ❤️
Molly A.
Love these swaddles! After seeing how well our baby girl did in the first one we bought, we knew we needed a few more. Now we are covered even when she spits up on one! A can’t be without baby item.

Jenny B.
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.
Carol B.
My baby gurl absolutely loves it!! It makes her sleep for longer hours ❤️
Brennigan B.
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.
SAMANTHA O.
Thank goodness for this! This instantly calms my baby
Tiffany A.
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.
megan b.
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!
Sylvia B.
Great swaddle
Jessi
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.
Jocelyn V.
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.

Since using the swaddle my newborn has been sleeping 4 1/2-5 hour stretches. He was not sleeping that long before purchasing it. The only thing I don’t like is that he’s able to work his hands up and it causes the swaddle to be all bunched up around his neck/face which makes me nervous. I think I will have to purchase the zen sack instead of using the swaddle
Anna G.
I love the material of this swaddle but the weighted part doesn’t stay in place well and it was very easy for my little one to get out of. Not worth the cost in my opinion!
Samantha O.
It's a well made swaddle and I bought it to help with daytime naps, but she doesn't really sleep and longer during the day with it on. At 8 weeks I can barely get her to sleep more than 20 minutes for a nap, but she sleep about 6 hours in one stretch at night (which she did before the swaddle)

We’ve been using this swaddle for a couple of weeks on our newborn. I bought it out of desperation in the middle of a hard night. He was about 7.5 lbs. when we started, and it was just small enough.
The swaddle is nice quality, soft, and stretchy. He hasn’t been able to get his arms out from the top or bottom. However, because of the stretchiness, his arms always end up near his face after a little while of wiggling.
It is a nice, easy swaddle to use. I gave it a three-star rating, however, because I feel that the weighted chest and sides make no difference in my baby’s sleep or calming compared to muslin and other Velcro swaddles we’ve used. Since the weights are the whole selling point of the product, I feel that it was not worth the higher price.
Every baby is different though, so I will keep it for future babies.
Ashley B.
Love these for both of our babies! We have 3 of them and use them every night.
Beth Z.
Baby slept 7 hours her first night wearing! The fabric is so soft and stretchy. And washes beautifully. Mom immediately purchased one for a friend with a newborn. Love, love, love this swaddle!
Signed,
A very happy Grandma

These are so easy to swaddle and leave plenty of room for baby to grow into while still working for little newborns!
Kerrie D.
It really works!
Katie L.
This swaddle has saved my sanity! My son is a month old and he would literally cry the second you put him down for bed. With this swaddle, he sleeps through the night until his next feeding. Love it!!!
Raelene S.
The zen swaddle doesn’t seem to calm my child or help them sleep longer as proposed. But the material is soft and high quality, the design is cute and it is something my little one could grow into.
Ashley s.
Unfortunately my baby can wiggle his legs out of the bottom so the weighted part is no longer on him, and gets his arms up and out of the swaddle. I have to rewrap him 1-2 times a night. Works for naps as he just wakes when he wiggles out. Would be better if the weighted part was sewn up the sides
Ashley S.
The Velcro is great and I think the gentle extra weight helps my baby with his startle reflex. The swaddle is well made and worth the cost.
Kylie F.
I bought this swaddle at 3am when I was exhausted and up for the 4th time with my baby. Ever since we received the swaddle we have had maybe one or two sleepless nights and that’s getting up every 2 hours. On a normal night we are up every 3-4 hours for feeding and right back to sleep. I love this swaddle and my baby loves this swaddle. She sleeps so much better in it! 10/10 would recommend this to any new parents. I personally plan on buying more of their products as my baby gets older! Definitely worth every dollar spent on it!
Maggie
My 4 week old baby girl went from waking up every time we set her down in her bassinet and waking every hour or so to sleeping in 2-3 hour stretches with no issues being laid down! It’s been a game changer for this tired mom of 4!
Jennifer M.
I bought a sleep sack for my first son when he started rolling over and couldn’t be swaddled anymore. He and I both loved it! When my newborn son had difficulty sleeping in his crib I immediately bought this swaddle blanket for him... it has helped so much! He’s 7 weeks old and will sleep 3-4 hour chunks in his crib now - yay! Thank you nested bean!
Kylie
Absolutely love this! My baby sleeps longer which means I sleep longer! If she doesn’t have it she doesn’t sleep as well. I would 100% recommend!
Nathan P.
It's supposed to be for 0 to 6 months and our little one is 6 weeks. The swaddle is entirely too big for him right now.
Kourtney C.
My baby loves this swaddle. He wasn't sleeping in the bassinet, but once I put this swaddle on him he fell asleep in it within 20 minutes. Very easy to put on and soft
Michelle K.
It’s not her thing... :( but hopefully it’ll work for the next baby! My baby girl right now hates being swaddled in anyway, even it touching her feet. she loves sleeping stretched out lol.
Jannie K.
I absolutely love this swaddle! My little one slept from four hour increments to sleeping 8-9 after purchasing this item! He also seemed to wiggle his way out of other swaddles, but this one he likes to stay nice and snug. Will definitely be purchasing other items from nested bean as he grows!
Brittany M.
This thing has changed our life. Our little girl was sleeping 10-3 every night which isn't bad. After 3 nights of this swaddle, she started sleeping 10-6 and is only 2 months old. She absolutely loves it and goes down with ease.
Garry W.
We get at least 3 or 4 more hours of sleep a night. We all love it.
Sandra S.
The zen swaddle is so ready to get on and off, it's the perfect amount of weight and the Velcro is super strong. My 7 week old just slept 8.5 hours in it. Love it so much we'll order another!
Shari T.
Love it
Kelly C.
We had this one from new born until 3 months. It was a life saver on many nights!
Grace P.
Love the quality!
Ashleigh
We LOVE our nested bean. We have four swaddles!! Will be buying the sacks and possibly the zen one for as she grows!!
Jamie M.
My 8 week old wriggles out of it every night. I will say I do think he sleeps better when he can keep it on but somehow he manages to break free. I can’t imagine this lasting till 6 months. I’ve watched all the videos on how to properly put it on but I think our issue is his arms are so long and stick out the bottom.
Alison S.
We have a one month old, our third child, who would not sleep for longer than an hour when on his back in his bassinet. We introduced the Zen swaddle and he’s now sleeping for two hours of longer during naps or during the night. Total game changer for us exhausted parents! Would highly recommend for any trouble sleepers out there.
Stephanie M.
its very soft and easy to put on baby. It just didn't help with his sleep.
Michelle P.
We love this swaddle! Use it every night
Mikalene W.
Only way my 1 month old will sleep in her bassinet. Within 3 nights we went from 2 hour stretches at night to 4. Life saver!
Courtney S.
It was exactly what I wanted for the new baby in the family.
Savannah T.
This swaddle/sack is great! Lots of room to grow into and holds him snug and warm all night.
Tristanne S.
I love the idea of this swaddle but we didn’t see much difference at all in sleep between this and the other (cheaper!) swaddles we already have. It would be a huge bonus if this had a zipper for nighttime diaper changes as well.
Kelly A.
We tried many swadddles and love this one the most. It’s simple and easy to use and keeps his little hands by his side. The weighted section is so comforting and we’ve noticed he’s able to self soothe and fall asleep on his own since we started using this swaddle!
Jolene S.
The best newborn swaddle! This is a baby must have! I recommend it to every mama!
emily m.
I love the material of the sleep sack but after almost 2 weeks I wouldn’t say my baby is sleeping any better. :(
Lexi Z.
1000 % recommended! Our little babe loves to be held and refuses to sleep without being held. This saved us big time, took about two weeks for us to finally get some 5 hour sleep stretches without being picked up but it’s so worth it.
Yi Z.
Love the fabric, my little sleeps well in it. The velcro makes it so easy to swaddle your little one in no time
Yi Z.
Love the soft fabric. Very effective velcro. Easy to swaddle your little with this!
Kayla N.
Great purchase! We bought this swaddle for my 3 week old and he has used it every night since (now 6 weeks old). One night it was still damp from being washed so we used a different swaddle. He had really interrupted sleep and we ended up having to switch him back to the Nested Bean half way through the night. I hadn't realized what a huge improvement it made! So worth the money. I'll be buying another.
Shane W.
Love this swaddle! Use it for both naps and bedtime ❤️
Molly A.
Love these swaddles! After seeing how well our baby girl did in the first one we bought, we knew we needed a few more. Now we are covered even when she spits up on one! A can’t be without baby item.

Jenny B.
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.
Carol B.
My baby gurl absolutely loves it!! It makes her sleep for longer hours ❤️
Brennigan B.
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.
SAMANTHA O.
Thank goodness for this! This instantly calms my baby
Tiffany A.
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.
megan b.
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!
Sylvia B.
Great swaddle
Jessi
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.
Jocelyn V.
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.
