It’s a nicely made swaddle, and very soft. I have a very active sleeper baby, and I really wanted this to work for my little one, but she’s been able to wiggle her arms up and out and she’s even shimmied the swaddle up over her face during a nap once. SO if you have an active sleeper and you’re thinking of trying this out for that reason, just here to say that this swaddle didn’t help that for us.

We love the swaddle!!! Our daughter is excited to sleep in it and assumes her swaddle position so we can wrap up the little burrito. This photo was taken just after being swaddled. She was asleep 5 minutes later and slept for 5-6 hours!!!!! Best purchase we have made as new parents.
McKenzie J.
I like the swaddle the only thing is my son is hot in nature so even though its bamboo material he still sweats in it.
Ryan B.
If I had to write a review for a single item I bought as a new parent it would be for this swaddle. My daughter loves it and so do I! We have been able to Enjoy many good nights sleep!

Thought I would love this more but it became difficult to get tight enough that baby can't pull her arms up to her face. Especially as it stretches out
Danielle S.
Awesome item. The light weight seemed to bring peace and comfort to my daughter during naps and bedtime. I was concerned about the weight before purchasing but it’s not heavy and just right. Highly recommend
Lindsey W.
It's so cute and soft! I love the idea of it. I think my child is too active. He kicks off the weighted portion in about 5 minutes and then he is just is like swaddled in a normal way. I ordered the other styles of swaddles because it looks like he won't be able to kick off the weighted bit and the other swaddle has a zipper for fast night changing this one does not so I pop his feet out and tuck it under his back like I do his pjs when changing him. I paid extra for the bamboo material cause my little man gets sweaty easy. I do really love the bamboo fabric. It's so soft and he doesn't get sweaty

The Zen Swaddle is outstanding! Our 1 month old’s sleep has improved tremendously. Once our little guy is swaddled, he's out within minutes and stays asleep. Thank you Nested Bean!
Carolina P.
I started using this with my 9 week old baby while traveling. My baby started sleeping longer stints in her bassinet than without it. The fabric is soft and weight isn’t too heavy. Baby can still sneak her hands out but has used them to soothe and fall asleep.
Laila L.
Absolutely love this! After the first couple of nights, my 6 week old slept for 6.5 hours without waking up. It also calms him down when he’s fussing or crying. This swaddle is magical!
Jayme K.
Love it, but wish there was a bottom zipper for easier night changes.
Carly K.
Our little guy wasn’t a “bad sleeper” to start with but we still decided to give this a try. He moves his arms a lot so fully swaddled did not work as he would pull the fabric up too close to his face. It also doesn’t seem to make a difference with how much he sleeps, but again, he was already a pretty good sleeper.
Hanna C.
The swaddle doesn’t have any stretch, like at all….which I feel is needed to get a good enough snug swaddle so the babes don’t get their arms out and wake themselves up! Bums me out because I was pretty stoked to try it out!
juvy M.
Absolutely loved the premium nested bean. We actually received one as a baby shower gift and loved it soooo much we purchased a second one. Game changer for the night time

Sara R.
The material is lightweight; it would be nice if it was a bit more substantive. And it sometimes is pretty loud and even difficult to unwrap baby. It’s nice though that their lower half is below the swaddle, which allows easy access for mid-night diaper changes.
Ashlyn P.
I like this swaddle and appreciate that my son will be able to grow into it. The “soft” Velcro is a big plus. However, the weighted bean aspect of this swaddle seems to make no difference whatsoever in helping my son settle or sleep longer. I like the product but would not re-purchase or give as a baby shower gift.
Simonette V.
To be honest, I was a bit hesitant on if it would work or not… you know how it goes with a baby, sometimes things work sometimes they don’t…. I am happy to say My lil boy loves it!!! He’ll be two months on the 18th. we wrapped him in it one night he was being so fussy, and bam! He was chill and stared at the twinkle lights we have In Our room for a solid 30 minutes before he fell asleep on his own. I have to get up early with my other two kids for school, with this swaddle He sleeps for a solid 4 to 5 hours a night with it on. Which helps mama get some solid rest. What I love most is he can easily get out of the swaddle but still be calm. I cannot wait to try the pajamas! Excellent product, I will for-sure be purchasing more.
Cortney D.
Our 7-week old had just started sleeping 4hr stretches and once we tried our Nested Bean swaddle he jumped to 6+ hours a night! It's very soft and we like that he can use it with one or both arms out as well as fully swaddled. He is now 2-mos and likes to have an arm or two free and this swaddles seems to comfort him easily.
kassandra t.
We love it so much. Our baby is a gassy and crabby girl. With the weighted swaddle it puts just the right amount of weight on her belly.
Gaiane L.
We went through a numerous amount of swaddles for our infant and finally found the Zen swaddle. It provides a little bit of weight on the chest and sides to make the baby feel hugged and secure. The material is super soft as well. I had an issue with a part of the Velcro and contacted customer service who was very prompt and helpful to help us solve the issue. This is also my husbands favorite swaddle for the baby. I put a drop of lavender on the chest part and the babies off to a better sleep.
Breanne M.
Soft material. Baby doesn’t sleep better in it.
Bethany M.
I loveeee our zen swaddle! Our girl is getting increasingly more sleep and so is this exhausted mama! It used to take an hour of holding her before she was asleep enough to lay her down, and then she would be up an hour later ready to eat… Now it takes about 20-30 minutes counted after the feed and then straight to bed! She’ll sleep for her 4-5 hours at a time instead of 2! So happy I’ll probably buy a different type for when she’s a bit older/bigger!
Tonita T.
We haven’t noticed a difference in our little ones sleeping pattern. It’s been a week so far- maybe she needs more time to adjust? Or it’s just not for her? But the material is nice!
Heather K.
My LO loves the feeling of being hugged tight by these swaddles!
Dina D.
Extremely soft and breathable fabric, my one month old sleeps much more soundly in this swaddle than others! The gently weighted sections are so nice as well, it makes a big difference.
Sandra O.
I bought it for my new coming grandbaby, my daughter loves it, but hasn't been able to use it yet.
Merisa E.
My newest little grandson loves his nest swaddle. I think he likes the little added weight that makes him feel safe, secure and nestled in mama's arms!
Ashley S.
The Velcro ripped. Second one to do this. First I bought one on amazon and then directly from source. Both are ruined
Suzy N.
This one was a gift but I have the same one and I love it. The only thing is I wish Velcro wasn’t so loud coming off. The recipient had no idea it was from me because she missed the gift note. I didn’t like that I had to ask her to make sure she got the package.
Jennifer N.
Baby loves it, I love it, it’s the best swaddle that we’ve tried so far. The bamboo fabric is super soft and my baby sleeps better.
Shannon W.
He sleeps so well in his zen swaddle!
Megan H.
I adore this swaddle! It was the magic trick with our first and did the same for our second. Both were sleeping 2-3 hours at a time and immediately switched to 7 hours once they moved to this swaddle. We got this second one because I had lost the first one between babies. I love how soft the material is on this one but it’s way too stretchy. The older fabric was much firmer and easier to use as a swaddle. This would be perfect as a sleepsack, but my little busts out of the swaddle all the time.
Keston H.
Helps us get our baby girl down for naps within minutes she is fast asleep! Great product!
Jenna D.
This swaddle is soft and seems easy to be able to swaddle tight but my baby is able to get out of it whenever she wants.
Kelsey T.
I love how soft this sleep sack is.... that being said my little one can wiggle her arms out of the bottom of the Velcro part leading to her waking easily. This product hasn’t made laying her down in bed any easier or helped her sleep better than just a normal sleep sack.
Daleth C.
Love how light weight and soft the swaddle is the only down side is there is no way to change the baby with out completely unswaddling him.
Theresa P.
Love it! My daughter sleeps so much better! I'm not waking up every few hours anymore. It's so amazing!
Jordan K.
10 mins after she gets out into this she falls asleep. She loves the feeling of being in here and has been sleeping 8+ hours! Definitely will recommend!
Nihaily M.
I didn't want to be biased and believe the hype so I waited a fair amount to post this review. I know with babies it is a hit or miss which products they will like or not. The nested bean swaddle does exactly what it is suppose to do and my baby loves it. She sleeps so much better from the very first day. We tried the traditional swaddles, which were fine for the first 2 weeks. After that we tried numerous other swaddles with no succes. She kept wiggling(moving all over the bassinet like a worm) making lots of noises. Now she actually sleeps like a baby and gets good stretches of sleep. I wish I learned about it sooner. Thanks Nested bean, I will be buying other products.
Sara S.
Our newborn loves this! So far, it’s the only swaddle he will sleep in - which means we get more sleep too!
Julianna P.
It’s ok. Velcro is loud so always wakes baby up. It tends to ride up on him which makes me nervous. We didn’t see any difference between this and other swaddles.
Laura E.
Our baby boy wasn’t sleeping in his bassinet until we got the Zen Sleep Sack — now he falls asleep quickly and stays asleep until we wake him to feed him. It’s been a life saver!
Michele A.
My daughter loves it! Fits great and she has room to grow in it.
Krystal S.
Soft material that keeps my little boy warm while he sleeps. He loves being swaddled and this makes it fast and easy. At 7 weeks old he sleeps 3-5 hour stretches at night.
Sarah Z.
I’m so glad I ended up purchasing the Zen Swaddle! My son runs hot so the soft bamboo material is great and it has the perfect amount of stretchiness so easy to put on. I love it can last for many months as well. My baby does not escape this one and sleeps great.
Stephanie C.
I absolutely love this swaddle! My baby was up every 2-3 hrs before this purchase. I have about 2 weeks or so with it and sometimes my boyfriend forgets to put it on her and she won’t fall asleep fully until she’s swaddled. She went from being up every 2-3hrs to up once in the middle of the night and last night she slept through the night. Definitely recommend. I am however a bit concerned with summer time. I live in the valley so our summer nights are 80 degrees or so and I just feel like being swaddled or being in a sleeping bag would be too hot even with purchasing the warmer temp sleeping bag. Wish they had other options for summer time.
Harini S.
Can’t believe the magic of this swaddle. My baby was cooing and smiling while being swaddled and is sleeping like a pro! I wish I knew about the Zen products a little earlier. Highly recommended for first time parents!
Sean M.
Keep getting asked to review my purchases but still haven't received them so my 3 star review should be a 0 star review. I appeciate we're in a pandemic and that things may take longer to arrive but stop sending emails desperately trying to endorse your product when you haven't even checked it has got to me.
Mallory G.
This print is adorable! I love the lighter fabric. It’s more breathable than other swaddles I have tried. My little boy sleeps more soundly with this swaddle.
Mallory G.
Cute print! I love the lighter fabric. My little boy sleeps more soundly with this swaddle.
Kaelee O.
My little one is the youngest of 5 and the only one who didn’t sleep! After weeks of being severely sleep deprived, I started to do some research on how I can get my baby to sleep. I came across weighted sleep sacks and read all about Nested Bean. I took the survey to see what sleep sack would be best and the Zen Swaddle was recommended. The first night my baby slept 5 hours all by herself! This picture is from the second night she wore the Zen Swaddle and she slept another 5 hours. We are going on 2 weeks and she sleeps 5-6 hours every night. It feels so good to sleep and I will be ordering more!
Nicole M.
Super soft and seems nice and cozy. I haven’t used it yet because my baby isn’t here at the moment. But when she’s born I’ll be able to give more detail
Stephanie M.
I purchased this as our 2nd swaddle for when our lil man spits up on the first. We LOVED our nested bean swaddle, but I wasn't a big fan of the fabric of this 2nd swaddle option. It's not as stretchy and I can't seem to secure quite the same fit as I did the original swaddle. I'm guessing this is why it was on sale (because people don't like the fabric?) and was a bit disappointed in the purchase.
J P.
My granddaughter used these two years ago and they where her parents sleep salvation as well as hers. Now with my grandson they went directly to the nested bean swaddle and he is almost sleeping through the night at 6 weeks . I love these they are such an amazing swaddle. Peaceful slumber to all and to all a good night.
Lauren C.
We love his swaddle so far. It seems to of helped my 3 week old to sleep longer stretches and we much prefer this swaddle with arms then any other swaddles we used (which was a lot). I personally don’t like the Velcro on this swaddle though. It’s very Noisey and can be difficult to undo during night changes. That’s it’s only flaw though.
Tuesday C.
My 3 month old absolutely loves his nested bean swaddle. Sometimes you can barely get it on him and hes already soothed and asleep. He sleeps the entire night. We 10/10 RECOMMEND IT!
Gina B.
My son who is 4 months old and a very active baby sleeps 6-8 hrs with this swaddle blanket and of he has to have his security blanket as well.
Jenna T.
We absolutely love these nested bean swaddles. It was how I got my son to sleep through the night and now with my second she loves them too. They provide her with the comfort she needs when she can’t be sleeping in my chest ! I can’t recommend these enough
Jessica c.
AMAZING!! Baby was up all night since being home from the hospital for a week. First night in her swaddle and only woke up 3x to eat.
Padraic S.
Love these swaddlers! Our son is three months old and has only been waking up once, maybe twice during the night! My girlfriend’s doctor told her not to tell her mom friends how much sleep she’s getting!
Christina D.
My babies first night in the swaddle he slept 4 hours and he is just under 2 months old. This was also the first night he slept in the bassinet. I am very happy with the zen swaddles and will purchase more. Best swaddle ever!
Bryson L.
I was super eager to get this!..however my son breaks out of it and when I wake up to check in him it’s over his face cause he breaks out at the bottom. I have tried and tried but have been unable to get it to where he can’t get out of it.
Cynthia T.
Our lil man loves his zen swaddle. We were gifted our first one. We liked it so much we had to order more. Every night after he eats we put him in his swaddle and he falls right to sleep. I also find that he sleeps more hours at a time in his zen swaddle. He is almost 4 months and will sleep about 6 to 7 hours through the night. Also the bamboo material is so soft and breathable. We love our zen swaddles
Kelsey K.
It made swaddling easier that's for sure. We did start using this around his 3 month sleep regression so I can't give an accurate review because of that.
madison n.
Very soft and cute wanted to love it’s ok for naps but overnight my 4 month old wiggles out no matter how tight and d it ends up around his neck giving me a panic and awakening him total disaster-has happened several times
So bummed. Design or fabric flaw.
Ilana A.
After 4 nights with this swaddle, my 2 month old is sleeping consistent 4-5 hour stretches at night! Before, it was 2-3 hours max. All other swaddles we’ve tried (there were many), he fussed when getting it on, but not this one. The material is soft and the weight generally calms him. I like that the material is breathable and soft (even after washing) and the Velcro isn’t loud or too rough- which is key when nursing him at night.
Cindy M.
Love it great quality material. Beautiful design. The only thing is i find it comes loose fast where the shoudlers are. I hsve a halo sleepsac and i love the was it fits on the shoulders area .. a tiny bit disappointed
Puja V.
This is an amazing swaddle, compared to the classic one, this bamboo one is much lighter yet warm enough for my baby, and extremely soft and excellent quality. My baby loved this and wore it until about 4 months until he kept fighting the swaddle, I also used the swaddle for a while until my baby transitioned out fully, so I did the wrap around the waist with one arm out, and eventually both but found by month 5 my baby is too tall now for the swaddle and the legs kept coming off but I certainly used tremendous mileague on this, and have many products from Nested bean from the early swaddles, to now the wearable blanket (the sac), and bought some onesies and pj's as well! I love this company! The products are of high quality and not too crazy expensive, if you can grab an event when they run sales!
Poiema E.
I was really nervous about moving my little girl into her nursery. I got so use to her always being close by. The best swaddle has been helpful in this transitional time. The butterfly design is my favorite. We call our daughter “my little cocoon” when she is all wrapped up.
Hope D.
6 week old daughter went from sleeping 4 hours a night to 7 in just 2 sleeps!
Liyu W.
Not very useful. The baby doesn’t like it somehow.
Christopher C.
Great product that makes nights easier
Kristen R.
My 4 week old is sleeping 7 hour stretches at night with his new swaddle! We love it!
Blakely M.
My baby isn’t here yet but I am already pleased with my purchase. The fabric is super soft and feels so cool and comfy. Really great quality. I think my daughter will like it when she arrives in a few short weeks! Can’t wait to try it out!
kelsey g.
Didn’t work for us, our baby was able to kick off the weighted portion
Jessica G.
Love it. My baby falls asleep right away with it. I used it with my first born as well and I'm going to gifted it to a friend that is expecting.
Katherine N.
Wonderful product! Definitely noticed longer stretches of sleep (from 5 hours to 7-8 hours within a few days). Love the bamboo material for summer sleeping. Highly recommend.
Kathleen B.
Gave it gas a gift and was told the baby loves it!
SARAH M.
Our baby loves his Zen swaddle! Easy to put on and take off for feedings and we have even used it with arms free.
Ashley M.
I think it would work well if your baby can stay put in the swaddle but unfortunately our son couldn’t because he’s a little Houdini.
Tina D.
No matter how tight i get it, it loosens throughout sleep and rises up around her neck which is super dangerous. I love the weighted feature but honestly would rather just get a refund.
Victoria W.
I ordered it awhile ago, called customer service because it hadn’t arrived yet. She was amazing and got it out to me next day! It has been a game changer in our daughters sleep. Before she refused to let us put her down to sleep and now she’s such a good sleeper for only being one month. I have recommended this to all of my friends with babies!
Nicole H.
Not too sure. I put my 10 week old in it and fasten it as snug as I can but she still manages to wiggle out of it. I have not been using it and using another swaddle that contains hers arms better. I am a bit disappointed for the money spent and with the reviews. I am willing to try it again but it makes me nervous because she wiggles it up to and around her face, so I certainly will not use it during the night and only for naps.
Rosario C.
The fabric feels fresh and breathable so even it’s summer here in California. He is fine in it. It’s has small sacks of weight also on the side what it makes it work also when I put him dow to sleep on his side.
carla r.
Amazing!!! on the third day using it my baby sleep for 6 hours streight. Is been a month now and she still sleeps throught the night.
Monica A.
She slept through the night
Kara C.
Love love love this swaddle! She sleeps so good!
Edward L.
Would be a vast improvement if the foot area opened up with maybe a zipper so we could change a diaper without undoing the entire swaddle.
Erika Q.
I bought this hoping it would help my baby sleep longer like the reviews stated. However, that wasn’t my experienced. It’s nice and soft, I like that it’s easy to wrap my baby without having to put her arms inside anything, but my baby has been sleeping the same hours. It hasn’t helped her sleep longer.
Courtney V.
It was great in theory. Just too loose so my baby always found a way out of it.
Danielle A.
I love this swaddle! I purchased the sleep sack and this at the same time but my tiny tot is still only 8 weeks old and needs something to keep his arms contained. I wish I had this swaddle from day 1, as he is now sleeping 4 hour stretches through the night, and he is overall much less restless. I love the premier because the bamboo is so light and soft. Highly recommended!
