A friend who works in childcare recommended Nested Bean. The weighted swaddles are a great idea, but they're not a sleep miracle. Our little one sleeps a little better with this swaddle, but it's not a significant difference; she seems to like it sometimes, and hate it other times. Pros: the weights (obviously), the inside pocket for smaller babies, and the fancy velcro. Cons: the price. These are also really warm and not really an option on warm nights. And, they are absolutely NOT wiggle-proof. Our little escape artist can break out of these things in seconds if she wants to (especially her arms). Bottom line, I'm keeping these, but we're only using them every once in a while, and mommy and daddy aren't getting any extra sleep because of them.

I will say that within a few days, my baby did start sleeping longer. Not sure if its age or the swaddle but either way, I would definitely recommend! They are very well made and the 2 pack is a great deal, especially so we have an extra in case of a nighttime diaper blowout! My son is now 8 weeks old and sleeping approximately 6 hours at the first part of the night.

The produce is great, but I just wish there was a velcro section from the first layer with the beans to the left swaddle arm. If you don't get a super, super tight tuck of the swaddle arm my baby kicks and then her legs are out the bottom but still swaddled. The whole point is for the beans to make her feel cuddled and now she is just sitting on them. She definitely sleeps longer using the product though if she doesn't kick.

Was hopeful it would help my very attached 1 month old but didn't work for us. No matter how tightly we swaddled her, she kept working the swaddle up so the "arms" bunched around her neck so we stopped using it. It didn't seem to soothe her much either. We went back to the Halo & Swaddle Up as we felt safer with those not bunching up around her neck. The material of the Zen is very nice and soft.

Our son loves the swaddle! He is 2 months and we were getting around 4 hour streaks of sleep, but now he can go close to 6 or 7 hours straight at night! Even naps are improving and he is putting himself back to sleep from time to time. I will definitely look into the other products as our son gets older!
Erin R.
The swaddles calm my son down and help him sleep- he sleeps throughout the night now! Great product, absolutely essential!
Lisa S.
Went from 4-5 hrs a night to 7-8 within the week!
Macy M.
We love nested bean! We ordered the bundle for our second child. It helps so much and keeps him comfortable when sleeping. We now give this as a gift to our friend expecting too!
Chris O.
My son loved the feeling of security. He helped him sleep at night without a lot of movements from him. They are a little pricey and if it aren’t for that I would definitely order more, regardless this is a must especially for babies with colic.
Ayla S.
Great concept and design just doesn’t Work well with our wiggle worm, she manages to have one if not both of her hands out of the swaddle in a matter of minutes, she is only a month old. We have tried several ways with the sea swaddle and it either becomes loose or rises up over her mouth.
Allie V.
I bought the 2 pack Sen swaddle, and I needed it because the first night he peed all over the first one! My kid is a hulk when it comes to bursting out of his swaddle, and this was the first one that we didn't see his hands on his face. WE LOVE IT!!
Katrina T.
This swaddle definitely helped our son sleep better, he went from 1-2 hour stretches to 3-4 hours, a few nights even 5 hours of sleep. It is a life saver because getting zero sleep with a newborn and a 2 yr old is not a fun situation! We have 3 incase it gets dirty in the middle of the night, I am not risking not having it!
For reference our son was 2 weeks old when we started using it and he is now 6 weeks old.
Colleen N.
Our baby seems to be sleeping better with it. Good quality
Erica J.
AMAZING! I will be purchasing more of these for my daughters and future children, as well as baby shower gifts for my expecting family and friends ❤️
Tia S.
I wish I would have just invested in these swaddles from the beginning! My LO fell asleep much faster with these and I could have saved money by skipping regular velcro swaddles and just buying a couple of these.
Allison G.
Overall I'm happy with the swaddles.
What I love:
-Super soft fabric
-Lightweight so baby doesn't overheat
-Easy to get on/off with just the Velcro (no zippers or other fasteners)
Disappointment:
It didn't help more than any other swaddle
We have Halos and also some cheaper swaddles from Walmart. The Zen sack works as well as the Halos for our baby. That's a positive in that the Halos work well; however, I bought the Zen hoping our baby would sleep a little better. He hates sleeping on his back and prefers being held while he sleeps. I hoped this swaddle would help him feel like he was being held and therefore sleep better on his back. Unfortunately, the weight seems not to make a difference.
I'm still happy with the Zen and chose to keep it, but it's not the solution I was hoping for.
Brittany O.
We were a little skeptical of how this would work. But this has been a life saver! Not only at night for bed but when our little peanut is over tired and refuses to go to nap. We bundle him in here and he instantly settles. We love it!
Brittney T.
My two month old was waking up a couple times a night and taking HORRIBLE naps during the day and I was okay with it. Then he started waking up every hour at night and I was NOT okay with that. On the third night of waking constantly I had had enough and in my sleep deprived state decided to give these "magic" swaddles a go. I really wanted to try the ones with the mesh detachable arms but they were sold out and I wasn't waiting until April. Turns out the swaddles are pretty fantastic. He has always loved to be swaddled but this one is SO much better, he loves it! He has been taking much better naps during the day and now is only waking once or twice during the night. My only complaint about the swaddle is that it is really hard to get it wrapped tight enough around the little guy to keep his arms from escaping.
Bridgett B.
Love this product.
Cedar B.
The weights help our little one sleep where no other sleep sack has been able to do so. However the Velcro is VERY aggressive. There is no way to open it without completely waking him up to check on his diaper.
Jamie C.
Love this swaddle! The fabric is so soft and stretchy to give baby a cozy wrap. The weighted parts of the swaddle are perfect for making my little one feel comforted in the night. I’ve used lots of different swaddles and this is by far the best one!
Natana T.
Our baby loves being swaddled but she loves being held more. This swaddle gives her the feeling of being held with the comfort of being swaddled. After 4 nights she was sleeping for 6-7 hours a night at only 5 weeks old!
Amisadai M.
Our son was suffering from Moro Reflex and would have a hard time following asleep. The swaddle has changed our lives. He is sleeping threw the night and not walking up.
Sarah A.
Pretty disappointed in how well this stays on. No matter how I wrap my kids- how tight, where the top of the swaddle hits- they always bust out of it.
Jane H.
I think it’s just our babe that doesn’t like to be swaddled, but we never saw a difference in how she slept. I actually prefer another brand swaddle that you can unzip without having to undo the arms for middle of the night diaper changes. The swaddle looks nice and I could see how it could help with the gentle pressure
Joanne R.
The baby is sleeping so much better than before, love it!
Bianca T.
By night 3 we had sleep training down! Baby is 2 months and after a week of use he sleeps from 9:30pm-5:30am and 6am-8am!
Amazing! It's an essential part of our nighttime routine.
Kaitlin M.
We love these swaddles. We’re currently admitted to the NICU and it really comes in handy since the Velcro keeps him from breaking free and pulling on wires.
Hailey C.
First couple nights was good maybe 3 hours of sleep between feedings. We are now almost 2 weeks in and I don't feel like it has changed night time wake ups at all
Sara R.
Twin Boys, 4 months old. Been using for about 3 weeks.
Still waking up throughout the night but not as many times as previous to use.
Erika R.
Our baby is so zen in the Zen Swaddle.
Erika R.
After trying numerous swaddles we are so happy to have finally settled on these perfect Nested Bean swaddles. The material is soft and thick and keeps our babe cozy and comfy. He has been sleeping much better since we started using these.
Cameron K.
I like that the product is long enough to fit my baby because others are not. But my baby was sleeping better without it. He was sleeping a good 9 hrs in a row now he is not sleeping but 4-5 hours at a time. It is almost like a regression. I like the fabric and the length and the fact that if I would have had it right when he was born he would have fit in the newborn spot. I just don’t think the weighted stuff is what my baby needs
Laura M.
I love the idea but my little one could wiggle right out of the sack. I had bought 2 and the return process for the one I hadn't used was so simple and easy. They offered to return the used one too, but I'm hoping maybe it'll help her sleep when she's older and has arms out instead of swaddled. It's very soft and great material but not for my little escape artist.
Angela S.
The mother to be was excited, awaiting the arrival of the baby to try.
Laura M.
I had such high hopes for the zen swaddle, unfortunately it made no difference for us :(. Will still probably choose zen sleep sac when we make the switch.
Cynthia T.
LOVE this! We tried regular swaddles that weren’t working too well. Other brands were more expensive. My granddaughter sleeps every night with her nested bean, we are thrilled!
Shannon B.
I received my zen swaddles in the mail today, just in time for my daughters mid morning nap. She normally won’t sleep in her cot during the day - 10 min power nap and that is it. She settled straight away as soon as it was on and slept for an hour. She has it on again now for her mid afternoon nap and she was wide awake when I put it on her, drowsy and asleep within minutes. I love my Zen Swaddles. They are a life saver!!!
Karen O.
A life saver, all the peds units in my hospital want them.
Jacquelin P.
Would love to say this definitely helped my daughter sleep longer but I can’t be sure if it’s the swaddle, my skeptic program, or her just getting older; however I can say it’s the tightest and most high quality fabric swaddle I’ve found. It’s all we use and love it.
Chelsi S.
My 9 week old baby had RSV and endured a 4 night hospital stay while fighting for her life! The hospital used a weight on her chest to comfort her and help her sleep. Ever since we got home, and also had to evacuate due to Hurricane Dorian, I have struggled with getting her to settle to sleep! I mean HOURS. With multiple wake ups. Yesterday this swaddle came in the mail. I quickly washed it so we could try it for bedtime. Not only did Ella settle for bed immediately at 8:30, she also had to be woken up at 7:30am to start the day! ONE NIGHT’S USE GOT US ALL A FULL NIGHTS REST! Thank you! I will be ordering more incase this reflux baby spits up on the only one I own! Ha! Thank you Nested Bean!
Catherine R.
Baby is not here yet but mom loves it. She can't wait to use it.
Nicole L.
My little one would not sleep unless we were holding her. This is serisouly the most amazing product. She now sleeps through the night at 2 months and is taking naps by herself during the day! I can put her down awake in this swaddle and she will fall asleep by herself. This once sleep deprived momma highly recommends this product.
Suzanne P.
I bought these for my granddaughter & my daughter loves them!
Nicholett M.
The first night we saw a change in his sleeping pattern. Slept longer and more peacefully. The zen swaddle is a staple for night time sleeps in our household.
Anna B.
I seriously had a hard time swaddling my baby boy. It seemed no matter how perfectly I thought I swaddled him, he would find a way to get his arms out . As you may know, newborns tend to scratch their face with their hands because they don't have complete control of them. They also, have the startle reflex at times when sleeping so I had one of these swaddle blankets in a different brand it was great but it would make him really sweaty at night (we live in CA). Once he outgrew that one, I decided to try out Nested Bean, the material is so light and airy so my son has a better sleep (doesn't wake up super hot and sweaty). Also the fact that it has weight makes him feel like someone is there holding him a way. Another pro is that he cant get his arms out and wake himself up. I love these things, definitely worth the price I promise.
January A.
The sack is made of good quality and soft material. However, the sack didn't seem to work for us. My baby slept no better with the sack than without.
Johanna L.
These really helped my restless sleeping first child so I definitely stocked up for my second. He seems calmed and ready to sleep once I tuck him into the Nested Bean. I feel as though he is still getting a little cuddle even though I have put him down in the bassinet.
ann v.
Bought for a gift...baby isn’t due till October so can’t give a review
Samantha M.
This swaddle is super soft and holds him well. I haven’t noticed a change in sleep as of yet, however he’s only a month old. Hoping to get longer spans soon, but love this swaddler.
Tyler B.
My baby sleeps through the night with it.
LISA W.
Baby loves being tightly swaddled and this helps him stay nice and tight
Melissa L.
Nice quality however did not help with sleep. Same as any other swaddle. The beans do not make a difference unfortunately
kevin c.
these are the best investment for our grandson
Mindy A.
My grandson wore his for the first time last night (he's 3 weeks old) and he slept all night! His mother had to wake him up for a feeding at 3:00 am!
Mallory L.
So glad I decided to try the Zen Swaddle! We started it around 2.5 months due to weight restrictions, but once we started she began sleeping 8-10 hours a night, before she was up every 2-3 hours!
Ashley T.
I bought the 2 pack of swaddles to share one with my cousin, and we both love them!
April C.
Awesome product grandson was only sleeping a few hours at night. instantly after first night of the nestedbean slept 8 hours
Liz S.
I got this when my son was 1 month old. He would wake up every 3 hours in the night before I purchased. It took a few days but then he started sleeping 5 to 6 hours. It is so nice to get that long stretch of sleep in. He sleeps in his bassinet with arms out now that he is about to turn 2 months. One night I couldn't find one of the swaddles so I put a regular one on and he wouldn't sleep! I looked for one all over the house and found it. He then slept well the rest of the night. You need at least 2 of these!
Silvia e.
We love this swaddles, they are magical, I have tried several brands and this are by far my favorite
Elayna C.
The zen swaddles worked pretty good for our twins for the first week or so. Soon after they started kicking and moving so much that no matter how tight we swaddled them the front egg portion would be at their feet and the swaddle would be a tangled mess. I also had a problem with the Velcro being very uncomfortable and scratching my arms when I held them. I am not sure they are worth the price but I’ll try again when we attempt to swaddle with arms out.
Tamara W.
My granddaughter slept the entire night for the 1st time. Best gift ever for new mothers!
Samantha S.
I loved it the first two nights unfortunately it ripped to the point I couldn't use it and I washed it on gentle cycle. I won't be ordering another one sadly it really did great the first two nights... Just poorly made unless I just got a bad batch .I'm not sure but they both ripped.
Elyse F.
We love our Zen Swaddle. This being our second baby, we knew swaddles are key ASAP. I like this one so much because there is room for a newborn up to a 6 month old. You won’t be buying many sizes along the way. Also the weight in it is genius! I truly believe it has made a huge difference. Our newborn has been getting up only once a night since she was 2 weeks old. Definitely worth the money.
Elizabeth P.
The swaddle has worked great for us! We have been using since week 1, he is now 4 weeks. They are incredibly soft and I love the weighed element. Additionally, the ability to wrap arms in or out is useful, especially as he grows.
Like any Velcro swaddle, the unwrapping can be a bit startling sound wise, especially in the middle of the night. Overall, I would recommend this to any parents. Pro tip: purchase the pack so you can have a clean one!
JILLIAN H.
The swaddle is easy to put on however my baby gets it off within minutes. I think the Velcro is improperly placed so you can’t swaddle tightly. In the event he doesn’t wiggle out of it he doesn’t sleep anymore. He slept 2 hours between each feeding and sleeps 2 hours between each feeding with it. It was pretty disappointing.
Gina C.
The new mama I gifted the Nested Bean swaddle to loved it so much she bought 2 more!!!
I also bought the sleep sack for my 10 mo granddaughter. Her mama loves it too!
Cherita R.
I got this because my baby was waking up every two hours. When she wears the swaddle she sleeps mostly 3 hrs & sometimes she would make it to 3 1/2 - 4hrs . I kept the swaddle because it is very convenient to wrap her in it & put her to bed. But I was hoping she would sleep longer than 3hrs with the swaddle.
Chelsea S.
The swaddle has worked great for my baby! She is on the bigger side so grew out of other swaddle sacks/blankets very quickly. The nested bean swaddle allows for more variability in size and I wish we had this for our first baby from day one. Before we tried this swaddle we were rocking and/or walking her to sleep, now since 8 weeks old she has been putting herself to sleep in the swaddle and sleeping 7-9 hours a night. The swaddle can be applied tight enough for her arms to not come loose when she fights it. This was the perfect fit for our little one and I would definitely recommend to new parents! Can’t wait to try the sleep sack!
Molly W.
Love how soft it is!! But for my little one it’s not helping him sleep longer. Even though I’m really good at swaddling, he can break out of it and he can kick until the bean sack is at his ankles. So it’s been pretty frustrating sometimes. Also my baby poops a ton so unswaddling the whole thing stinks. Wish it had a zipper. My son is almost 4 months but his Moro reflex is still very strong.
Priya P.
Love it going to get the sack
courtney r.
My newborn son was sleeping 1.5-2 hour stretches at night and it was very rough for me in those first 4-6 weeks. I saw an ad about Nested Bean weighted swaddles on Instagram and was immediately intrigued. I read several reviews from parents saying that they saw near immediate results once their babies had the weighted swaddle. I ordered a two pack and have been amazed at how well it works! My son slept a 3 hour stretch the first night which felt like heaven at the time! Now he’s 11 weeks and sleeping 5-7 hour stretches a night. The swaddle fit him so much better than the typical sleep swaddles at Target and he wasn’t able to shimmy out of it. Plus the top didn’t inch up and cover his mouth like some of the other swaddles seemed to do. It’s so worth ordering two in case you have a diaper disaster and need a different swaddle. Once your baby had slept in the weighted swaddle they won’t sleep nearly as well in a regular swaddle! My advice: buy two! I will definitely be buying the weighted sleep sack when he gets a little bigger and grows out of being swaddled. Thanks Nested Bean!
Melissa R.
The swaddles were life changing! I started to use them when my 8 week old twins were having a hard time not only falling asleep, but staying asleep. They were waking up every 3 hours to eat and often couldn’t stay asleep between feedings, which made the nights that much more difficult. The swaddles were a God send! Once we started using them, the twins started to not only fall asleep easily, but were sleeping 3-4 hours at a time! They’re almost 4 months old now and sleeping 5-6 hours at a time. We won’t put them to sleep without them!
Allie C.
The Zen Swaddle has been a miracle for us. We went from only sleeping for 2 hour stretches at night, to sleeping for 5-6 hours. I highly recommend this to anyone who is trying to get their baby to sleep through the night. It works wonders and I actually am starting to feel human again!
Kassey B.
I only used them for a short time as it was winter and they preferred to be warm, I look forward to using them again soon with Summer coming as I got the cotton ones.
Ericka N.
This product does help my baby sleep longer as well as help calm him when we put him down to sleep. Would recommend this product!
Victoria W.
Helps my twins have better sleep at night which then helps me be a better mom. I really appreciate all the sleep knowledge that you can read on the website as well. I highly recommend these.
Clarissa F.
The swaddles are working great for our twins. My only complaint is that the Velcro is already loosing its stick after only a month.
Jessica M.
Worth every penny! My 3 month old twins sleep great in these!
Victoria I.
These are great. Stays in place better than other swaddles I've used. Size accommodatses for months. Baby is very comfortable.
Gwendolyn G.
We have had these for about a month now and honestly I feel like they make a huge difference in my son’s sleep and his ability to fall back asleep on his own. I have started buying them as gifts for every expecting friend that I have to pass on the joy or longer stretches of sleep! My one complaint is that the Velcro has already started to wear down and the hold is not as strong anymore.
donna c.
Haven’t used it yet. Baby not due till fall but it’s very soft and warm looking
Brittany A.
I love this product. My only complaint is that my baby sweats so bad in the middle of the night. And he isn't a big fan of being covered up. So it would be really cool if u make just a band that can just around the chest or the arms and chest .
Lolita S.
This worked like a charm!
Adrianna s.
still a little to big for my 8lb babies. can not wait to try it out!!!
Kylie T.
Didn’t help at all
Kandace F.
Using the Nested Bean swaddle sack has helped my daughter fall asleep faster and sleep longer through the night.
Kristen H.
Love the sleep sacks. They seem to fit my baby so much better and provide the comfort he needs. I love the adjustability of it and the ease of fit as he grows. Thank you!
Allison M.
Unfortunately my twin grand babies were able to wiggle out their arms. This product worked great for the first week. My daughter had to purchase a different product that had arm holes and a zipper.
They are no sleeping through the night!!!!
Judith B.
Love it but baby is very small so it is a bit too big. If Velcro extended further on the back, one could get a tighter fit.
Amanda
I came to this website after my 6 week old would not sleep and I was desperate for anything that may help. We started using the wraps and I noticed a small difference in the length of her sleep. I was not convinced the wrap was even worth it or working until one night we forgot to wash it and went back to the traditional swaddles. That night my baby could not fall asleep and when she did she was so restless. Let’s just say we make sure we always have a wrap washed now!!!
Crystal M.
This is a gift so I haven't opened the packaging to take a close look but it looks very beautifully made..
Kimberley P.
Works really well
Megan D.
I love the swaddle! It’s lightweight yet still weighted for him to feel like I am in the room. Can’t wait to try the sleep sack
Shanon W.
These swaddles were the magic solution for my preemie after she came home from a long hospital stay. She was having trouble adjusting to sleeping in her bassinet. After getting these swaddles, she started sleeping 6-7 hours at night within two days! Thank you from a very relieved Mommy and Daddy!
Mary R.
I really like how easy it is to swaddle my son. He is not a fan of his arms being wrapped up but he likes the blanket. I am going to purchase the other blanket once he gets a bit older.
