I love the feel of the swaddle, and the weighted areas for extra soothing comfort. However, it seems to slide up and cover my baby’s mouth and not stay on properly. Usually with other swaddles there is a velcro piece in the middle to secure it in place but this brand does not and so he will kick it out of place quite easily. For this reason I’m not super satisfied with the product. Three stars - if there was a way to secure the middle I think it would be a five star product.

Fits good; The material near the Velcro ripped after few uses, not a good quality of the material.

These swaddles did not work at all for me. The concept is excellent but the execution not so much. My 3 month old can get himself out if it in minutes no matter how tight I make it and then it gets all bunched up near his face.
Paige L.
We used this when our daughter was very little. We liked how we could transition her from swaddle to free arms.
Charlotte L.
Unfortunately, the velcro on of of the swaddles stopped working after 2 weeks. Customer Service never wrote back to get a replacement…
Nicola P.
I bought this pink swaddle for my bosses Granddaughter. I have bought several of the sleep sacks for my new Grandson because my daughter loves them and she raves about how well he sleeps and will continue to use them for the next one.

Best thing for newborn reflexes and sleep training
Karine C.
We don't go to bed without it. Love that it's easy to clean and seams to repell stains.
Sarah M.
Unfortunately this product is not designed for all. My baby shes 2 months she is long but the wgg sack ends up being at the top of her waste and the velcrow does not stay on properly her arms end up being out underneath. Would only recommend the halo swaddler. Much better product
Celeste A.
Love my seaddle
Kate M.
Lovely material, and easy to use. The claims about improving sleep were not true for us, and we have now used this for two children, But as long as You are not looking for a quick fix it’s a decent sleep sack. I wish it had a jacket type bodice, the way that halo swaddles have, as when you swaddle with arms out it has a tendency to wriggle down the body. In my opinion, halo still makes a superior product, but these are a close second
Anna T.
Love, love, love this swaddle!!!! It definitely changed my baby girl’s sleeping pattern to better!
Wendy A.
I gave it to my daughter , actually her partner for Soon to be Father's Day, and they are expecting in August. She has received a ton of gifts but did not have a swaddle. They were thrilled. They unpacked it and saw all the different features and learned how to use it! We can't wait until August when I will take a picture for sure!
Tanya S.
My babe went from not being able to be put down in his bassinet to sleeping in his bassinet 3 hours at a time! We love this swaddle
Phoebe S.
Sadly this didn't work for my baby. Also the wrap piece was around my baby's neck when I found her, she was screaming! I think this is a safety concern. I want to return this so badly but it looks like there is no way to return this product during COVID.
Andrea D.
Our newborn would break free from every swaddle - i went through at least 6 other brands and swaddle methods before ordering the Nested bean. It was really the perfect swaddle - the two different sizes on the newborn sale was exactly what we needed and the design along with the velcro used guaranteed that she hasn't yet managed to free herself! We're very happy. I hope the other models work as well as she gets older!
Pauline J.
My daughter loves the swaddle, but her daughter at three months can wiggle her arms up and the wrap part ends up on the upper part of her chest and the weighted part ends up down around her belly. She would really like it if the Velcro could be down farther on the wrap. We have wrapped her really tight but she always gets her arms up.
Jerrica S.
Have been using for five nights straight and if anything my son wakes more frequently - every 1.5-2 hours - then when I was using the halo sack. He is easily able to kick out the bean and ends up with legs uncovered and arms still swaddled. I feel like there could be a better design so the weighted part actually stays where it’s supposed to. Definitely will not be using anymore.
Raisa R.
The swaddle can’t isn’t snug. The point of a swaddle is to keep the arms in securely. I’ve been using this product on my newborn. He’s now 2 months old and 12lbs but the swaddle can’t be done up tightly enough around his arms/torso to be used as a swaddle. When I do fasten it snuggly, the fabric causes the top weighted clap to be lopsided
Hayley P.
How do you really know this thing works? Leave it in the dryer and put another swaddle on because you are too lazy to get the Nested Bean. Then regret it half way through the night because your 2 month old baby is waking up every 30 minutes. After running downstairs to get it and swaddle him he did his usual 3 hours!
Breanna G.
I bought this because my baby startles himself awake if his arms are not tucked in but maybe it’s just not for my baby.
He always gets his arms out and kicks his legs making the swaddle come apart. The fabric is not strong enough to hold him in, which is too bad because I was really hoping it would help him sleep at night so I could get some sleep. I guess I’ll have to try something different.
Deanna S.
This swaddle blanket is magical! My 2 month old sleeps 6-7 hours straight at night now.
Cee
The Zen Swaddle is okay. I found that my 2 month old daughter would sleep a little longer in the Zen swaddle but there wasn’t too much of a difference compared to the Halo Sleepsack (we usually get about 6 hrs of sleep time at night with either one). I also
wish that the Zen Swaddle had a zipper of some sort for late night diaper changes..I absolutely hate waking her up by unswaddling when I know she has a soiled diaper. I also wish that the “right wing”’s velcro area was a lot larger as I feel that I’m having to put the “left wing” way too high and the swaddle ends up too high up close to her throat. Thirdly, the velcro hold is too strong. I’m having to use one hand to hold down the swaddle then the other to forcefully pry the wing off to remove the swaddle.
Kathryn R.
Baby did not like it. Fought it very hard, so we haven’t used it.
Kathyryn C.
I thought it would have been helping to my baby to sleep well but the beans annoyed her even more. The material is phenomenal but the swaddle version is no bueno for her. Maybe I’ll try the regular sleep sack next time.
Joanne B.
Bought this as a gift and was so impressed I bought another!
Beautiful looking and the material is amazing! Definitely recommend.
Brittany A.
Purchased the swaddle for my 2 month old, not a fan as he is able to almost every time get his hands under the wrapped part and it bunches the fabric up to his face and the weighted part would be down at his legs. Even when trying to make nice and tight around his front the fabric is very stretchy and doesn’t get secure. The swaddle straps are also very long and go all around his back which is not very convenient. I have other swaddles that work much better and keep him asleep for hours
Meghan M.
We bought this swaddle because of its raving reviews. Our daughter was 4 weeks old and got out of every blanket swaddle we did and would constantly wake herself up by jerking her body as she fell asleep. This swaddle is great for keeping their arms in if you Velcro it really tight but it did not help my daughter sleep. Currently 7 weeks old and still looking!
Cesar V.
It’s really good my son feels confortable
Melissa L.
This swaddle did not work for my daughter at all. It actually gave her worse sleep which I would not have left a review for because all babies are different. What I’m more annoyed about is that I have filled out TWO contact forms on how to return it as Nested Bean has a 15 day return policy (even though their site says 60 days), and I have not received ANY communication on how to return. Now we are way past the 15 days and I’m sure they’ll tell me it’s too late to return. Thank you for nothing Nested Bean.
Ashley H.
I love that the swaddle is weighted and I do think this makes a difference, but out of the various swaddles I've tried, I think I do prefer the HALO sleep sack for an odd reason: I can tuck my baby's soother in to it. That sounds weird but, the way the flap folds over when wrapping up my babe, it's slightly curved/angled and I am able to kind of pull it over and tuck in her soother. Some mom's say they like wubanubs for this reason. You can lay the wubanub animal on top of baby and then wrap it in with her in the swaddle, and it ensures the soother doesn't fall out. I think this is quite dangerous. My girl often thrashes about and gets her hands out of the swaddle. I worry she'd pull the wubanub out and it could suffocate her. The individual soother however is much safer for her though, and I can put this in her mouth and hold it against her face, with the wrap of the swaddle. I can't quite do this as easy with the Nested Bean swaddle. Would love that slight improvement.
Jordanne E.
Love it. My baby instantly calms and yawns when I swaddle her up and she sleeps so much better with it on!
John G.
I want to Return , no response
Salma B.
I really wanted to like this swaddle. Everytime my husband and I used it, we found it would unravel during the night and wind up around my baby's mouth/face. Do to the obvious safety concerns we stopped using it. We tried wrapping it fairly tight as well. We ended up going back to our old velcro swaddled as they stay put. I've contacted Nested Bean for a refund but havent heard back yet.
Ingrid L.
I like the idea of a weighted swaddle. However the Nested Bean swaddle has no mechanism to keep the weight in place. If the baby moves or if you pick them up, the weight falls down.
Natalie K.
The idea of using the weight is great, but the swaddle design needs some updates. Most swaddles have velcro on the chest and one on the wrap, making it impossible for baby to unwrap it. The nested bean swaddle only has the one on the wrap so in the night my baby would move and end up with the swaddle up around her neck. There needs to be something to keep it more secure
Melanie M.
I thought this would be great for my baby. But instead was not. The first night he slept 2 hours and got out of it. Thought okay it’s just the first night. Second night the same, and had to re swaddle him after changing his diaper as there is no bottom zipper to avoid that. And took longer to put him to bed. The weight kept going to his side as he moved. Not for us.
Nicole M.
It might be a coincidence, but the night we started using this sleep sack was the first night our baby had a long stretch of sleep! We use it every single night and have good sleep nights ever since. This swaddle will be my go-to gift for new parents from now on.
Jillian B.
My baby girl was having trouble sleeping on her own. As soon as we would put her in her bassinet she would wake up crying. Decided to give this swaddle a try and literally the first night we used it she slept for a 6 hour stretch followed by a feed and another 4 hour stretch. SO impressed. This thing is a life saver!!
Angela R.
Best sleep sacs I have ever used. I have twin boys, and I honestly think these boys went from 3 hrs of sleep , to the 1 twin 8-9 hours and the other twin 6-7 ( he needs his soother) the product is 100% worth the money , I plan to purchase next sizes as they grow and they give the best baby gift!! I contact nested bean regarding an issue with one and they completely replaced it which I was beyond grateful for them doing!! Thanks again
Caitlin R.
I was so excited to try the swaddle! My son met all the weight and height requirements but no matter what, he can always get his arms out or he manages to push the weighted part down. Unfortunately for us it hasn't helped.
Rachelle A.
Love the quality of these swaddles, great fabric and well made. Enjoying the versatility and being able to use these without swaddling babes arms.
Highly recommend!!
Samantha N.
Didn’t work for my baby whatsoever. After a week of trying, I reverted back to a basic swaddle blanket. It didn’t provide baby with the snug secure feeling as she trashed and squirmed without settling for much longer than she typically would, slept for shorter periods, and hated the velcro noise when opening the swaddle for diaper changes. The weight didn’t seem to provide any comfort.
Erin B.
We were so excited to use this swaddle. We started using it as soon as it arrived 3 weeks ago.
I have washed it in cold water and hung tondry twice and it already has a hole in it. Very disappointing for the price we paid.
Krista J.
I love everything about the swaddle except the size, it wont fit my son much longer length wise and hes only two months and average size. I wish it was longer.
Ariana F.
It didn't work for me.
Cecelia o.
My grandson loves these!!!
Chantelle C.
Brought this after my son was 2 weeks old and wouldn’t sleep without being held and immediately started sleeping long stretches in his bassinet the night we bought this! Life saver!
Miguel C.
After 2 weeks of use our baby went from sleepping 2.5 hrs to sleep 12 hrs straight! Can't be happier with giving this a try!! We loved it and our life is wey different now! Thank you!!
Ashley K.
I had the product 2 weeks before it ripped and then sent an email to see if I could get it replaced and never received any response

Rachel E.
Not such a great purchase. The weight part of the sack never seems to sit right. The swaddle factor was lost because there was never a nice comfy wrap feeling the weights don’t allow for it. Also it ripped after day 3 so disappointed
Charmaine P.
I wanted my son to love this swaddle, unfortunately we tried many times and he hates it.
Laura R.
Great product! She started to sleep better after few days. However, the swaddle is too small, it says 0-6 months and my baby is 3 months and it won’t fit soon.
Ashley S.
My son is able to wiggle his arms out too often. Sac isn’t working for us.
Chelsea F.
My daughter was only giving me 2-3hr stretches. This meant only 1-2hr sleep in between feeds. With the zen sleep swaddle we can get 5-6hr stretches and she’s only 4 weeks old when we bought the swaddle. I definitely recommend this product.
Jacquie S.
The Zen swaddle wrap definitely helped with my daughters sleep, she would startle herself awake whenever I would set her down In her crib. Now with her arms securely wrapped she doesn’t wake as easily when setting her down. She still only sleeps 2-3 hour stints and I’ve been using it for 4 weeks now.
Jocelyne R.
It took awhile to get delivered but looks and feels beautiful.
Alexis P.
Would not recommend the swaddle for baby who breaks out of swaddle easily! My girl is two months and kept waking herself up due to swaddle going over her face and hands freed at the bottom. The weighted part of the swaddle would also come undone and not be kept inside securely no matter how tight we would wrap her in.
Lorinda M.
I have purchased two for my new grandson. He sleeps great in it!
Christina B.
Our son does calm down quickly with this swaddle, however he is very 'wiggly', and can always get his legs out. The interior (weighted part) is not velcro-d to anything like some other swaddles we have used. His wiggling is able to get that middle right off no matter how tight we do the top up. Three stars because I like that it is bigger/longer, and because I like that you can wear with the arms out.
Nancy M.
Received my order fairly rapidly. Very nice product, nice material and my baby loves it. Easy to put on and take off.
Laura H.
This did not work for us. Our baby actually slept worse. He was able to get his arm up out of the swaddle even though we did it as tight and right as possible (yes we watched the how to video etc). It took 3 weeks to arrive and we built up anticipation in that time that the product would be as advertised and improve sleep! Oh well.
Brittany T.
I LOVE these swaddles! I order one for every baby shower I go to now. I’m just about to order 3 more!
Julia P.
We have bought countless swaddles for our newborn and this is the only one worth keeping. He is now 7 weeks old and does not like being swaddled but he sleeps much better if he is. Right now we are transitioning with 1 arm out. We also bought a sleep sack which we havent tried yet but looks great. The garments are very high quality. Above and beyond other swaddles in terms of material, quality and function. I'm impressed!
Melissa P.
Baby girl isn't born yet but I wanted to speak on the material. It is very well made! It looks like it'll be really easy to use. I will come back and update my review when shes born :).
Amanda O.
We went from 4 hours to 6 1/2 hours of sleep. Baby was 5 weeks when I got it.
Paige d.
This worked in 20 seconds. My son was screaming so I quickly swaddled him and the screaming stopped instantly. Replaced with a huge smile. Definitely my best purchase ever.
Jennifer H.
Great fast delivery even during these tough times, love the feel. Can’t wait to wrap my little one in it when he arrives in July.
Neha K.
My 2-month old daughter would wake up at least 5 times per night until I started swaddling her with the nested bean zen swaddle. Now she only wakes up once or twice. She also sleeps longer! She’s more rested and in a great mood when she wakes up. I’m convinced there is fairy dust in this swaddle.
Danielle H.
Used twice so far and it's worked great! Little guy seems to sleep longer stretches when he's in it. No complaints here!
Erin T.
We’ve really enjoyed this swaddle for our 2 month old. Within the first few nights she was sleeping an hour more before waking to feed.
The fabric of this swaddle is super soft and feels very high quality.
Marrisa P.
We purchased the zen swaddle and the the zen sack for our 1.5 month old as he would fuss often throughout the night (after being fed, changed and rocked back to sleep he’d continue to wake up after being put back in his bassinet) so we were excited to try the swaddle when it came it. That night he only woke up twice during the night to eat! He continues to sleep so well with the swaddle. We haven’t tried the sack yet but I know it’ll be just as great. The fabric is so soft and it’s high quality and well made. Very happy with our purchases
Jennifer E.
Nice fabric and idea but the velcro is sooo loud at night when you don’t want baby to totally wake up during diaper changes.
Stacey F.
Love the material and overall look of the Zen swaddle sack. BUT I must say that it does not hold up to my standards. My little one is able to wiggle himself out of the sack, no matter how tight I pull the swaddle. I feel as though the material is to stretchy. Hoping it will work better once we are out of the swaddling phase.
Amarpreet K.
My daughter has started sleeping at a stretch of 4-5 hours a night since using the swaddle!
Michelle M.
Babies slept more soundly during naps and at night and woke up more rested and happy
Mark F.
Son didn’t sleep well in your product
erica f.
Love that baby can grow with the swaddle.
Ivy L.
Great quality. Baby sleeps well in it.
Liz S.
This swaddle is actually amazing. My 7 week old has been fussy when in other swaddles, and when she used to wake up, that was the end of that nap, no matter how short.
I put her in the Classic Zen Swaddle this evening.. she has been sleeping soundly since! Woke up for her feeds and then straight back to sleep (which was desperately needed after a restless morning/afternoon). I would definitely recommend this swaddle to any Momma who has a baby that struggles to fall and stay asleep.
Brittany s.
My daughter actually can sleep soundly! She has a terribly strong startle reflex so this has helped immensely ❤️ We’re getting much more sleep in this house now !
Caitlin D.
Unfortunately this did nothing for us. We’ve been using it for over 2 weeks and my almost 9 week old is still waking up every hour or so. Was really hoping this was our answer to at least a 3 hour stretch :(
Kathryn K.
Our baby constantly wriggles out of the bottom part of the Nested Bean through the night. So while it’s on properly, it’s great. But it doesn’t stay fitted as designed with our little squirmy one.
Jaydene W.
Didn’t work for my son. Can I return?
Kaitlin B.
I found the swaddle sack nearly impossible to get tight enough that my 6 week old would still manage to get her hands out of the swaddle and up around her face. In turn waking her self up. Would also be great to have a zipper in the bottom like the sleep sack does for more convenient night time changes. After a week of giving it a chance I unfortunately stopped using it due to fear that the swaddle was to close to her face.
CAROLYN F.
This item arrived quickly and was beautifully made. I was hoping it would make more of a difference with our son but things are about the same. Lovely swaddle though. I love the material and he’s very cozy in it.
Elisabeth W.
We absolutely love this swaddle. It took maybe 2-3 nights for our daughter to get used to it and ever since she has been easier to put to sleep and then actually stays asleep through the night. Already planning to get the sleep sack and footie next for when she transitions out of the swaddle! LOVE!
Patti D.
Great quality fabric. The weighted pieces do seem to hold some sort of sleep magic in them. My baby unfortunately can pull the fabric up over her face, despite us pulling it as tight as we can. I use this only for daytime naps when I can see her in the monitor. The leg portion is a bit short I find (the longest leg portion).
Debbie Ann B.
Has not made any difference in sleep pattern
Catherine S.
This is such great quality - the material is so soft and comfortable! I love how it is weighted both on the chest and at baby’s sides, so it’s like they’re being held close. My baby started sleeping longer stretches at night once we started using this - I highly recommend! Plus the puffins are super cute :)
Kohlman Z.
Didnt really make a difference in sleep quality
Jeanie R.
Little baby loves it, so comfy, warm, he sleeps well with it
Jeanie R.
Great confort great materiel baby loves it
Mariee D.
I sent it to my niece in Australia for her baby who is almost Nine months first night went to sleep right way
Bev R.
Have not opened this item yet, as it is a gift!!
Victoria B.
My two month-old granddaughter has slept through the night (5-7 hours) since I bought this swaddle for her about 6 weeks ago. My daughter puts her down awake in her crib, puts on her white noise machine and baby babbles to herself for a few minutes before falling asleep. My only lament is that I didn't buy two, so they could be switched out easier on wash day, but that's okay as I'll make sure to buy a couple of the bigger ones in a month or so. I highly recommend this product.
