The Zen One swaddle blanket and sleep sack perfectly adapts to your baby's needs - scientifically designed to help babies self-soothe and get sounder sleep Read More
The Zen One swaddle blanket and sleep sack perfectly adapts to your baby's needs - scientifically designed to help babies self-soothe and get sounder sleep as their sleep styles change, from birth through rolling, the Zen One functions as both a snug swaddle and a wearable blanket.
Made of snug but stretchy fabric and loaded with versatile features, the Zen One has 3 gently weighted Cuddle Pads™ that, unlike other baby swaddles, provide comforting pressure only where babies are naturally used to being held, mimicking your embrace and encourage sleep. This light pressure also prevents wakeups from your baby's startle reflex, and helps your baby sleep for deeper, longer stretches.
The Zen One has a snug inner band to hold arms down and prevent startles while your baby sleeps, quick-dry mesh sleeves to help thumb suckers self-soothe, and removable sleeves that allow for arms-out swaddling when your baby rolls and you need to stop swaddling. Whichever way you use the Zen One, a 2-way zipper makes diaper changes a breeze compared to traditional swaddle blankets.
A favorite of over 2 million families, the Zen One is approved by pediatric pulmonologists, exceeds all safety benchmarks. and is backed by a recent university-led weight safety study, so you can sleep soundly knowing your little one is in safe hands in their dream swaddle.

My baby refused to sleep in her bassinet despite trying other swaddles and sleep sacks. We finally got this one and she finally sleeps in her own bassinet with arms up because she hates being swaddled. For reference she is 4 weeks old. We love this product.
samantha B.
I did not find this item to help my child sleep any better than any other swaddle. If anything, I think she became more fussy in her sleep while wearing it. I don’t even use it anymore.
Adele C.
Good quality, my baby fell asleep right away!
Erin A.
Getting a full night of sleep with twins!
Caelan W.
Little guy went from up every two hours to 4 to 5 hour spurts! It’s well worth it!
Julia V.
My little one loves his nested bean! The transition from swaddle to this was much easier than I anticipated. Thank you nested bean!
Alysia F.
My son LOVES his Neated Bean Zen One Classic! The fabric is super soft and breathable and I love that you can unzip the arms. The little weighted area is the perfect weight! I will definitely be purchasing more!!
Salam H.
I thought “weighted” meant the entire thing is weighted but no. There’s a little pound in the front and that just has a little weight in it. My babies hated this and won’t up more often during the night. That’s a parents worst nightmare
Ani N.
My baby did not like it it made him really sweaty and uncomfortable
Kenzie D.
My LO is less than 2 months and sleeping 7-9 hour stretches during the night in the nested bean transitional sleep sac. The only negative I have to say is my baby is long and the 0-3 month is already too small. Don’t worry, I’ve bought 3 more 3-6 month and will continue to purchase more! A huge believer in these things!
Kelly M.
This is perfect for my 3 month old who loves to suck on her hands to self soothe !!! The other sleep sacks we use she sucks on them and it makes the fabric soaking wet and stinky! I was constantly having to wash it after each sleep !!! The mesh is perfect!
Katherine R.
Super soft material—comfortable for our newborn. Our son definitely likes the zen one sleep sack better than a swaddle. He was constantly breaking out of the swaddle or grunting & fighting it throughout the night. The weighted bean has also helped when putting him in the bassinet & no longer having to keep my hand on his chest. He is definitely sleeping better since we switched. Only reason for four stars is the length of sack if you’re baby is tall they will likely outgrow this quickly. Our son is two months I bought the 3-6 month size as he is big for his age but he is already filling out the entire sleep sack.

One of the best purchases I’ve ever made!
Courtney N.
Took a while to get here. My baby doesn’t like his arms in the upper part of the sleep sack. I wish they made this one so you could swaddle the baby with arms at his side.
Allison T.
I’m going to be honest, it’s an amazing product and it actually works. But the price point is super high. There are desperate newborn parents that crave sleep so bad they’re willing to pay the increased price for a good nights sleep for themselves and their baby, but that doesn’t mean a swaddle needs to be near $60. It almost seems unfair. Please consider lowering the price in some direction as it will allow more parents to recommend this product to other parents rather than a cheaper alternative.
Monica G.
Just one week of use and baby is putting himself to sleep for every nap and night time!
Alia A.
didnt work for my baby but, good idea.
Pamela M.
My daughter loves these, she used them for her first baby, so I bought her more for her second child due in December.
Madison C.
Only thing she will sleep in! We’ve tried other swaddles but she just wiggles out. We put her in this and she’s out like a light! It’s also helped with getting her to sleep in her bassinet because when setting her down, she doesn’t startle and wake herself up. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Kacy S.
Perfect for transitioning out of a traditional swaddle!
Alexa V.
Our baby loves her nested bean! She sleeps through the night at 2 months old! Best purchase ever!
Diane B.
It’s a little snug for 3-6 months size
Victoria B.
We’ve tried a few sleep sack options. This is the ONLY one that truly works for our family. We’ve used it for both of our babies now! Our son wouldn’t sleep at all on his own, it was such a struggle. We’re two weeks into using this for him and he sleeps in his bassinet and falls asleep on his own. Miracle worker! Also, I never leave reviews and in no way encouraged to leave this review (I never trust reviews anymore ha)!
S A.
Works great on our 10 week old. Have been using it since 4 weeks. He can go 7-8 hour stretches bc of this. Only issue is that the swaddle sleepsack goes based off of weight and doesn’t take length into consideration. Our baby is long and this swaddle seems to be getting too short without room to stretch his legs.
Lydia H.
Love the sleep sack
Kendra B.

Schweta A.
It’s difficult to put on esp on a sleepy baby. However he seems to like it
More than other swaddles and prefers to keep his arms up but in.
Kendra I.
The zen one swaddle has made transitioning from swaddle to sleep sack as simple as possible and our baby has made that transition much better than we had hoped!
Tegan S.
This was great for transitioning for us- you could still swaddle, hands up or down by side, one arm out, both. It was so great and cozy. My baby boy loved it! He did grow out of it quickly though
Desiree S.
My 4 month old daughter loves to be swaddled and she has outgrown her little swaddles so we needed to find something new that would fit her. We were also using swaddle blankets but she started busting her hands out and they would come undone during the night. We were recommended to try the nested bean swaddle sack and I’m so thankful we did! My daughter loves to wear it both ways. She loves falling asleep with her arms out and free to move but when she falls asleep I put them in the swaddle and zip it up. This helps her to not startle and wake herself up in the middle of the night by flailing her arms around. The weighted egg on the chest is the cherry on top!! My daughter has been sleeping so much better since we started using this a couple weeks ago. Also purchased the zen One for when she outgrows the sack. Definitely recommend this for your babies whether they love to be swaddled or not!
Kayla L.
I have used these for 2/3 kids now and honestly we love them. They are so amazing and truly the best swaddle to keep my babies calm throughout the night. Now…my complaint? I have had the 1st and 2nd version of this and I did enjoy the original more. The Velcro part on the inside was so much more stretchy while the Velcro part on the new edition is cotton so it doesn’t have much give and my daughter breaks it open super easy. My BIGGEST gripe with this product is longevity. My daughter has been wearing the 3-6m size since she is 2 months she will be 4 months this weekend and her feet touch the bottom which bothers her when she sleeps. All around, the sizing isn’t great. She probably has 1-2 weeks until it no longer fits and she isn’t ready to go without a swaddle yet so we will have to find a new option. I wish they would make the swaddle in a 6-9m size for those babies that are bigger or aren’t quite rolling by the time they outgrow the 3-6. I would also really appreciate the swaddle being longer for those babies with long bodies.
Kayla G.
We love the sleep sack we only wish the belly band was a little more stretchy we have a big 2 month old and the 3-6 just fits around him.
Kala B.
Love this. My daughter was fighting the swaddle so hard but still has the startle reflex so leaving arms out was causing frequent wake ups… this was the perfect solution! My only complaint is the neckline is a little high so when it’s zipped all the way and she moves her arms it bunches up around her neck and face… might be that she’s just a little small, but for now I just leave the zipper unzipped slightly and tuck it at the top. Still works great
Youabb T.
I wish I kept the box. My baby absolutely hated it. Would immediately calm down when I moved him into a traditional swaddle.
Jocelyn R.
My baby loves it, he sleeps all night!
Summer C.
This has really helped my 5 week old get better sleep stretches. Hes sleeping good for 4 hours without as much noise and movement
Michelle H.
My baby loves this swaddle! She is instantly calmed as soon as I put it on and is able to self soothe when she wakes up.
Gregory S.
I did not like the material! It does not work as promissed
Eva M.
Our baby loves it
ALAYNA H.
We really like this adaptable swaddle/sleep sack. Unfortunately we didn't get to use the arms for more than a couple days with my little starting to roll early. But the quality is great and it washes nicely.
Hashem L.
My baby loves this sleep sack and is sleeping longer nights!
Andrea O.
Quality sleep sack. I love the design however it just isn’t what works for my guy. He is just 4 months and weighs 16 lbs, 24” long. It seems snug on him and doesn’t appear to have much length to grow. I have yet to wash it so it’s not that. Also he gets warm in it. Thinking the wrap inside contributes to this. I plan to return the other unopened box but I don’t regret trying.
Nichole C.
Such an amazing swaddle! I love that my little one can’t wiggle out and is safe! This sac really helps her to sleep great at night
Miranda B.
Helped my baby sleep at night and the only swaddle that kept his arms down!
Christina K.
Bought these for my sisters 1st baby. Every new mom should buy minimum 4. My nephew lives these!
Joy S.
If you have a big baby this isn’t for you! Even with the next size up from newborn doesn’t fit my baby and he’s 7 weeks. In the chest and shoulder area!
Elizabeth N.
The item itself is nice and works as expected but for the price of the item I expected a much better swaddle. The actual swaddle band is just a piece of felt with Velcro, there’s no stretch at all.

Maison D.
We LOVE the zen one! Our little one did not like being swaddled in the traditional wrap as soon as we got home from the hospital. We love that she is secure with the band around her belly, and that she is comfortable with her arms out. She sleeps like a dream, highly recommended!
Natalie S.
Both our daughters loved the Zen One Classic sleep sack. The new version is even better with more room for arms.
Michelle J.
We loved the nested bean sleep sack for our older son. We tried the zen one with our 4 month old as he transitioned out of the full swaddle. He liked it, but actually does better in the sleep sack. There’s something a bit off with the cut of the sleeves that it can bunch up around his face when the sleeves are in and by his ears when they are zipped off. I’d also love to see some fabric that covers the zipper when the sleeves are removed so it’s softer against his skin.
Lawrence A.
Your shipping took way too long. I paid extra for one day and believe it took about a week to get delivered.
Nichole C.
My little one was moving around to much in her hall sleep sac and it was constantly coming up around her neck, we got this one and she slept so soundly and was safe.
Kimberlee R.
I ordered the 0-3 month for my 1mo baby and wish I would have sized up. The sizing details on the site states that it fits up to 13lbs but it was very snug and uncomfortable on my 9lb baby. Otherwise, it’s great quality. I wish it would have fit better so that we could have used it.
Alexis R.
Purchased and immediately washed as I’ve hear so many great comments from friends about this brand. My daughter didn’t fit in it unfortunately. I did go based on size chart but it didn’t fit. We might try to buy a size up (again because I’ve heard great reviews) but they are pretty expensive and to possibly waist more money isn’t an option I have.
Julie V.
Nested bean has excellent customer service. Also really enjoy the product my little babe sleeps well in it and it helped to transition from swaddle to sleep sack. Also having the removable sleeps helped save a little money on buying separate products!
Duchetlyne D.
This is my second time buying this Swaddle/sleep sack. My first son, who is now 3, used it and loved it. My second son, who is a week short of 3 months old, loves his Zen One Swaddle/Sleep Sack. He loves sleeping with his arms up and this helps him to stay comfortable. He’s also started sucking his hands and he can, while wearing this. He knows it’s time for his nap/bedtime when ever I put his Zen One on.
Krystal M.
This was so small, I don’t understand? Bought according to the size chart and it barely fits my 13 lb baby. I washed before I tried it so I couldn’t return it. Size up!
Jhane G.
My baby loves it! This is the 2nd one because we had to go up a size. Been using these since she was born. She sleeps all night and she also takes her naps with it most of the time. I definitely recommend these to everybody.
Makenzie A.
Love this & highly recommend if your baby loves to be held while they sleep. The weight is about as heavy as a hand resting on your chest. My baby is 5.5 months old & sleeps so good when he wears this. Must buy!
Mackenzie C.
I was super excited to try this bc my LO only likes being swaddled with her hands up and needs my touch to fall fully asleep. Unfortunately she doesn’t care for this sleep sack at all and it even made her sleep worse! Crossing my fingers that it was a wild coincidence and she just happened to start the 3 month sleep regression the night we started using it. She was consistently sleeping a 5-6 hours stretch but now only sleeps 3. Going to give it another week before calling it quits because these were not cheap!
Warren M.
I saw the Nested Bean ad on social media and thought what a great idea, but does it really work? I went onto Amazon to shop around and saw all sorts with prices to match.
Long story short with all my research I concluded that the design and quality of Nested Bean was far superior and when we received it in the mail I was correct! Most importantly it works! Not only is it well made, it’s easy to use, our son settles down faster and sleeps longer!
Amanda G.
My daughter keeps bending her legs in this one i wish i can return this and get the sack one instead
Hanna H.
bought 3-6 months for my 3 month old and it’s a bit too snug. only wore it once and he did not like it :(
Summer H.
The Nested Bean sleeper was not my favorite of all the different sleep sacks. In fact, it’s probably my least favorite of the ones we have tried. The mesh parts on the arms were not wide enough, so my baby ended up just soaking around the mesh. It also seemed a little snug for my 3 month old even though she fit the weight.
Marissa B.
I’ve been looking for a swaddle since my baby busted out of his smaller, more traditional arms down swaddles. I’ve tried the other brands of arms up swaddles and he didn’t seem to like it, so I went for this.
I’m honestly not sure if he’d get better sleep with it, but when he wiggles his arms around the fabric around his neck starts to come up over his face. It got as far as over his mouth, which I am obviously uncomfortable with.
I took one wing off and that seems to keep it from riding up, but now I’ve lost the full swaddle effect. I would rather just have bought a regular sleep sack because they are less expensive.
I have NOT tried this with his arms down in the Velcro, so I can’t speak to that.
Skye D.
We are huge fans of the nested bean sleep sack and used it for our toddler when she stopped swaddling. Because of that we decided to try the new nested bean swaddle and unfortunately, disappointed. The inside Velcro strap is way too tight/small and you can barely strap your babe in. Because of this she was always able to wiggle her arms out. Also, the way it zips up somewhat slanted makes it wear weird on our baby. Overall bummed and I really wanted to like it.
Marian d.
Bought as a gift based on others recommendations
Kathryn M.
The velcro part is not strong enough. My baby was still able to get out of it and startle her self awake unfortunately.
Puja P.
We've always been a fan of the nested bean sleep sack but it's our first attempt with the swaddle and we really love it. Our baby is very active and will break out of a traditional swaddle so this is a game changer.
Brittany N.
My 4 month old was going through a regression and this helped him sleep all the way through the night for at least 9 hours. Worth it!
Victoria O.
My 3 month old has always been a good sleeper but this made it even better. I’m happy
Karen V.
This is a bit tighter than I expected. My 8 week old baby didn't like it, we tried it with the hands up and without the hands and she didn't feel comfortable and started to cry. I wanted to like it but it didn't change our situation at all :(
Macey D.
I LOOOVE this sleep sack! My mom suggested it for me for my first baby at around 3 months and she immediately started sleeping better. She loved to sleep with her arms up but would startle herself awake with them. I love this sleep sack because of the little arm pouches. She was able to still sleep with her arms up but have them controlled and she slept amazing. My second baby I got to start with the sleep sack right away and she does NOT sleep during the day hardly at all or won’t even take naps in her crib. But at night time when I put the sleep sack on her she feels so comfortable and sleeps amazing at night time. I can’t believe it. This sleep sack has changed my night time game and I am so grateful for it.
Kali T.
The very first night we tried our nested bean my baby slept longer than an hour! We actually made it three and a half hours before he woke us up! Now we regularly make it three to four hours between feedings at night! We absolutely love it and will be getting the next size up for him soon!
Shelby C.
This is one of my most recommended baby products! Both of my sons have loved it. My most recent baby hated traditional swaddles and wanted to sleep with his arms above his head. I took off the arms and he immediately loved it. I have ordered it in multiple sizes to wear as he grows .
Hilary H.
These are the only sleep sacks my 1 month old will sleep with. If he's not in one, no one is sleeping. They are worth every penny
Kayla L.
I’ve definitely noticed a difference in sleep since our 3 month old started wearing the zen one swaddle. He is sleeping longer and waking himself up less during the night. I think the weighted chest piece helps keep him calm and stir less too.
Lisa M.
Sleep sack is awesome. Was a little snug on my grandson but was easily exchanged for a larger sack.
Amanda G.
Baby girl is 3 months and seems to really like the weighted part and loves her arms up! Gave this product a 3 because is seems small for 3-6 months and my baby was a premie and is still in newborn size mostly just 8lbs but the swaddle fits small and I don't see her being able to fit in it until 6 months. Also after a few washes the navy blue material has faded already and I followed all washing instructions. I have had a maybe a month and it already looks very faded.
celeste B.
Love it
Kayla E.
Keeps our baby happy and settled until it’s time for a feed
Julisa L.
This has been a game changer! Once my son adjusted to it, on about day 3, he began sleeping from 8:45pm-5:45am! Like clock work!! I nurse him, put on the swaddle, and lay him down in his bassinet with his pacifier and within 10 mins he’s out!!
Lori J.
I love the quality of the onesie, but it was just a bit too snugged on the stomach for my infant. So she was only able to wear it one time. The tightness was uncomfortable and her weight was within the weight class on the instructions. She is only one month old. Nevertheless; while I didn’t get a full experience it still seems worth an investment if fitting to the child.
Janna M.
We purchased this for our second baby and use it every night! It is easy to put on and he went from sleeping 3 hours to now sleeping 7-9 hours a night! Wish we had this 5 years ago with our first little one!
Gretta M.
Love it
Leilani H.
Getting my daughter to sleep and to stay asleep in her own bassinet was hard as she is a huge contact sleeper. With this sleep sac, I’m able to get her to sleep in it and for a long time! She’s been sleeping 8-10 hours at night and it’s been the best! 10/10 would recommend to all moms, new and experienced!
Cassidy R.
This is my 3rd item I’ve purchased from Nested Bean and my 2nd of these. I bought the purple first then the sand color. If your baby has Startle reflex or difficulty sleeping on their own in a bassinet, try this!! Every time I would lay my daughter down to sleep in her bassinet for the first almost 2 months of life she would wake up within five minutes. Then she developed a startle reflex in her sleep, but this cured it.
Mandi B.
Our newborn sleeps so good in this! He hated having his arms down so this is perfect for him. Highly recommend!
Amy B.
I have used the sleep sacks with my other kiddos and this little guy loves his hands by his face so I figured we would try the zen one. He loves it and sleeps great. The only thing is that he is going to grow out of this size very quickly, he is 10 lbs now and I’m not sure he will make it to 13lbs before we have to get the larger size.
Sarah E.
I’m sure the product would’ve been great if it would’ve fit my baby. When I asked to exchange for a bigger size, they didn’t make it easy as I needed to fill out a form and print it (who has a printer at home now?) and then bring everything to a designated shipping store. Again, all fine to do if I didn’t have a newborn at home and had a printer!
On the plus side, I was able to gift it to my friend so no money wasted and her baby loves it!
Cierra M.
I’m a second time mom and this is a great swaddle for my girl that likes her hands by her face. My only feedback would be to put an additional zipper on the bottom edge to make middle of the night diaper changes a little easier!
Katt B.
Game changer! Before my purchase it took hours to get my daughter down. After my sister recommended this sleep sack with her raving review, I bought one & it has made getting her down to sleep each night SO much faster (under 20 min) and easier. The price deterred me a bit at first but it is 100000% worth the money.
Nylah R.
My 5 week old only wants to sleep on me at all times, so I purchased the zen one sack after reading that it’s perfect for contact nappers. Last night was the first time using it, she slept for 6 hours in her first stretch! She woke to feed and then went right back to sleep for another 4 hours! She was only sleeping in 3 hour stretches at most so this is already amazing and so worth the money! I can’t wait to try it again tonight, if it continues to work this well I will be buying many more!!

Our baby loves her nested bean! She sleeps through the night at 2 months old! Best purchase ever!
Diane B.
It’s a little snug for 3-6 months size

We’ve tried a few sleep sack options. This is the ONLY one that truly works for our family. We’ve used it for both of our babies now! Our son wouldn’t sleep at all on his own, it was such a struggle. We’re two weeks into using this for him and he sleeps in his bassinet and falls asleep on his own. Miracle worker! Also, I never leave reviews and in no way encouraged to leave this review (I never trust reviews anymore ha)!

Works great on our 10 week old. Have been using it since 4 weeks. He can go 7-8 hour stretches bc of this. Only issue is that the swaddle sleepsack goes based off of weight and doesn’t take length into consideration. Our baby is long and this swaddle seems to be getting too short without room to stretch his legs.

Love the sleep sack

It’s difficult to put on esp on a sleepy baby. However he seems to like it
More than other swaddles and prefers to keep his arms up but in.

The zen one swaddle has made transitioning from swaddle to sleep sack as simple as possible and our baby has made that transition much better than we had hoped!
Tegan S.
This was great for transitioning for us- you could still swaddle, hands up or down by side, one arm out, both. It was so great and cozy. My baby boy loved it! He did grow out of it quickly though

My 4 month old daughter loves to be swaddled and she has outgrown her little swaddles so we needed to find something new that would fit her. We were also using swaddle blankets but she started busting her hands out and they would come undone during the night. We were recommended to try the nested bean swaddle sack and I’m so thankful we did! My daughter loves to wear it both ways. She loves falling asleep with her arms out and free to move but when she falls asleep I put them in the swaddle and zip it up. This helps her to not startle and wake herself up in the middle of the night by flailing her arms around. The weighted egg on the chest is the cherry on top!! My daughter has been sleeping so much better since we started using this a couple weeks ago. Also purchased the zen One for when she outgrows the sack. Definitely recommend this for your babies whether they love to be swaddled or not!

I have used these for 2/3 kids now and honestly we love them. They are so amazing and truly the best swaddle to keep my babies calm throughout the night. Now…my complaint? I have had the 1st and 2nd version of this and I did enjoy the original more. The Velcro part on the inside was so much more stretchy while the Velcro part on the new edition is cotton so it doesn’t have much give and my daughter breaks it open super easy. My BIGGEST gripe with this product is longevity. My daughter has been wearing the 3-6m size since she is 2 months she will be 4 months this weekend and her feet touch the bottom which bothers her when she sleeps. All around, the sizing isn’t great. She probably has 1-2 weeks until it no longer fits and she isn’t ready to go without a swaddle yet so we will have to find a new option. I wish they would make the swaddle in a 6-9m size for those babies that are bigger or aren’t quite rolling by the time they outgrow the 3-6. I would also really appreciate the swaddle being longer for those babies with long bodies.
Kayla G.
We love the sleep sack we only wish the belly band was a little more stretchy we have a big 2 month old and the 3-6 just fits around him.
Kala B.
Love this. My daughter was fighting the swaddle so hard but still has the startle reflex so leaving arms out was causing frequent wake ups… this was the perfect solution! My only complaint is the neckline is a little high so when it’s zipped all the way and she moves her arms it bunches up around her neck and face… might be that she’s just a little small, but for now I just leave the zipper unzipped slightly and tuck it at the top. Still works great

I wish I kept the box. My baby absolutely hated it. Would immediately calm down when I moved him into a traditional swaddle.
Jocelyn R.
My baby loves it, he sleeps all night!
Summer C.
This has really helped my 5 week old get better sleep stretches. Hes sleeping good for 4 hours without as much noise and movement
Michelle H.
My baby loves this swaddle! She is instantly calmed as soon as I put it on and is able to self soothe when she wakes up.
Gregory S.
I did not like the material! It does not work as promissed
Eva M.
Our baby loves it
ALAYNA H.
We really like this adaptable swaddle/sleep sack. Unfortunately we didn't get to use the arms for more than a couple days with my little starting to roll early. But the quality is great and it washes nicely.
Hashem L.
My baby loves this sleep sack and is sleeping longer nights!
Andrea O.
Quality sleep sack. I love the design however it just isn’t what works for my guy. He is just 4 months and weighs 16 lbs, 24” long. It seems snug on him and doesn’t appear to have much length to grow. I have yet to wash it so it’s not that. Also he gets warm in it. Thinking the wrap inside contributes to this. I plan to return the other unopened box but I don’t regret trying.
Nichole C.
Such an amazing swaddle! I love that my little one can’t wiggle out and is safe! This sac really helps her to sleep great at night
Miranda B.
Helped my baby sleep at night and the only swaddle that kept his arms down!
Christina K.
Bought these for my sisters 1st baby. Every new mom should buy minimum 4. My nephew lives these!
Joy S.
If you have a big baby this isn’t for you! Even with the next size up from newborn doesn’t fit my baby and he’s 7 weeks. In the chest and shoulder area!
Elizabeth N.
The item itself is nice and works as expected but for the price of the item I expected a much better swaddle. The actual swaddle band is just a piece of felt with Velcro, there’s no stretch at all.

We LOVE the zen one! Our little one did not like being swaddled in the traditional wrap as soon as we got home from the hospital. We love that she is secure with the band around her belly, and that she is comfortable with her arms out. She sleeps like a dream, highly recommended!
Natalie S.
Both our daughters loved the Zen One Classic sleep sack. The new version is even better with more room for arms.
Michelle J.
We loved the nested bean sleep sack for our older son. We tried the zen one with our 4 month old as he transitioned out of the full swaddle. He liked it, but actually does better in the sleep sack. There’s something a bit off with the cut of the sleeves that it can bunch up around his face when the sleeves are in and by his ears when they are zipped off. I’d also love to see some fabric that covers the zipper when the sleeves are removed so it’s softer against his skin.
Lawrence A.
Your shipping took way too long. I paid extra for one day and believe it took about a week to get delivered.
Nichole C.
My little one was moving around to much in her hall sleep sac and it was constantly coming up around her neck, we got this one and she slept so soundly and was safe.
Kimberlee R.
I ordered the 0-3 month for my 1mo baby and wish I would have sized up. The sizing details on the site states that it fits up to 13lbs but it was very snug and uncomfortable on my 9lb baby. Otherwise, it’s great quality. I wish it would have fit better so that we could have used it.
Alexis R.
Purchased and immediately washed as I’ve hear so many great comments from friends about this brand. My daughter didn’t fit in it unfortunately. I did go based on size chart but it didn’t fit. We might try to buy a size up (again because I’ve heard great reviews) but they are pretty expensive and to possibly waist more money isn’t an option I have.
Julie V.
Nested bean has excellent customer service. Also really enjoy the product my little babe sleeps well in it and it helped to transition from swaddle to sleep sack. Also having the removable sleeps helped save a little money on buying separate products!
Duchetlyne D.
This is my second time buying this Swaddle/sleep sack. My first son, who is now 3, used it and loved it. My second son, who is a week short of 3 months old, loves his Zen One Swaddle/Sleep Sack. He loves sleeping with his arms up and this helps him to stay comfortable. He’s also started sucking his hands and he can, while wearing this. He knows it’s time for his nap/bedtime when ever I put his Zen One on.
Krystal M.
This was so small, I don’t understand? Bought according to the size chart and it barely fits my 13 lb baby. I washed before I tried it so I couldn’t return it. Size up!
Jhane G.
My baby loves it! This is the 2nd one because we had to go up a size. Been using these since she was born. She sleeps all night and she also takes her naps with it most of the time. I definitely recommend these to everybody.
Makenzie A.
Love this & highly recommend if your baby loves to be held while they sleep. The weight is about as heavy as a hand resting on your chest. My baby is 5.5 months old & sleeps so good when he wears this. Must buy!
Mackenzie C.
I was super excited to try this bc my LO only likes being swaddled with her hands up and needs my touch to fall fully asleep. Unfortunately she doesn’t care for this sleep sack at all and it even made her sleep worse! Crossing my fingers that it was a wild coincidence and she just happened to start the 3 month sleep regression the night we started using it. She was consistently sleeping a 5-6 hours stretch but now only sleeps 3. Going to give it another week before calling it quits because these were not cheap!
Warren M.
I saw the Nested Bean ad on social media and thought what a great idea, but does it really work? I went onto Amazon to shop around and saw all sorts with prices to match.
Long story short with all my research I concluded that the design and quality of Nested Bean was far superior and when we received it in the mail I was correct! Most importantly it works! Not only is it well made, it’s easy to use, our son settles down faster and sleeps longer!
Amanda G.
My daughter keeps bending her legs in this one i wish i can return this and get the sack one instead
Hanna H.
bought 3-6 months for my 3 month old and it’s a bit too snug. only wore it once and he did not like it :(
Summer H.
The Nested Bean sleeper was not my favorite of all the different sleep sacks. In fact, it’s probably my least favorite of the ones we have tried. The mesh parts on the arms were not wide enough, so my baby ended up just soaking around the mesh. It also seemed a little snug for my 3 month old even though she fit the weight.
Marissa B.
I’ve been looking for a swaddle since my baby busted out of his smaller, more traditional arms down swaddles. I’ve tried the other brands of arms up swaddles and he didn’t seem to like it, so I went for this.
I’m honestly not sure if he’d get better sleep with it, but when he wiggles his arms around the fabric around his neck starts to come up over his face. It got as far as over his mouth, which I am obviously uncomfortable with.
I took one wing off and that seems to keep it from riding up, but now I’ve lost the full swaddle effect. I would rather just have bought a regular sleep sack because they are less expensive.
I have NOT tried this with his arms down in the Velcro, so I can’t speak to that.
Skye D.
We are huge fans of the nested bean sleep sack and used it for our toddler when she stopped swaddling. Because of that we decided to try the new nested bean swaddle and unfortunately, disappointed. The inside Velcro strap is way too tight/small and you can barely strap your babe in. Because of this she was always able to wiggle her arms out. Also, the way it zips up somewhat slanted makes it wear weird on our baby. Overall bummed and I really wanted to like it.
Marian d.
Bought as a gift based on others recommendations
Kathryn M.
The velcro part is not strong enough. My baby was still able to get out of it and startle her self awake unfortunately.
Puja P.
We've always been a fan of the nested bean sleep sack but it's our first attempt with the swaddle and we really love it. Our baby is very active and will break out of a traditional swaddle so this is a game changer.
Brittany N.
My 4 month old was going through a regression and this helped him sleep all the way through the night for at least 9 hours. Worth it!
Victoria O.
My 3 month old has always been a good sleeper but this made it even better. I’m happy
Karen V.
This is a bit tighter than I expected. My 8 week old baby didn't like it, we tried it with the hands up and without the hands and she didn't feel comfortable and started to cry. I wanted to like it but it didn't change our situation at all :(
Macey D.
I LOOOVE this sleep sack! My mom suggested it for me for my first baby at around 3 months and she immediately started sleeping better. She loved to sleep with her arms up but would startle herself awake with them. I love this sleep sack because of the little arm pouches. She was able to still sleep with her arms up but have them controlled and she slept amazing. My second baby I got to start with the sleep sack right away and she does NOT sleep during the day hardly at all or won’t even take naps in her crib. But at night time when I put the sleep sack on her she feels so comfortable and sleeps amazing at night time. I can’t believe it. This sleep sack has changed my night time game and I am so grateful for it.
Kali T.
The very first night we tried our nested bean my baby slept longer than an hour! We actually made it three and a half hours before he woke us up! Now we regularly make it three to four hours between feedings at night! We absolutely love it and will be getting the next size up for him soon!
Shelby C.
This is one of my most recommended baby products! Both of my sons have loved it. My most recent baby hated traditional swaddles and wanted to sleep with his arms above his head. I took off the arms and he immediately loved it. I have ordered it in multiple sizes to wear as he grows .
Hilary H.
These are the only sleep sacks my 1 month old will sleep with. If he's not in one, no one is sleeping. They are worth every penny
Kayla L.
I’ve definitely noticed a difference in sleep since our 3 month old started wearing the zen one swaddle. He is sleeping longer and waking himself up less during the night. I think the weighted chest piece helps keep him calm and stir less too.
Lisa M.
Sleep sack is awesome. Was a little snug on my grandson but was easily exchanged for a larger sack.
Amanda G.
Baby girl is 3 months and seems to really like the weighted part and loves her arms up! Gave this product a 3 because is seems small for 3-6 months and my baby was a premie and is still in newborn size mostly just 8lbs but the swaddle fits small and I don't see her being able to fit in it until 6 months. Also after a few washes the navy blue material has faded already and I followed all washing instructions. I have had a maybe a month and it already looks very faded.
celeste B.
Love it
Kayla E.
Keeps our baby happy and settled until it’s time for a feed
Julisa L.
This has been a game changer! Once my son adjusted to it, on about day 3, he began sleeping from 8:45pm-5:45am! Like clock work!! I nurse him, put on the swaddle, and lay him down in his bassinet with his pacifier and within 10 mins he’s out!!
Lori J.
I love the quality of the onesie, but it was just a bit too snugged on the stomach for my infant. So she was only able to wear it one time. The tightness was uncomfortable and her weight was within the weight class on the instructions. She is only one month old. Nevertheless; while I didn’t get a full experience it still seems worth an investment if fitting to the child.
Janna M.
We purchased this for our second baby and use it every night! It is easy to put on and he went from sleeping 3 hours to now sleeping 7-9 hours a night! Wish we had this 5 years ago with our first little one!
Gretta M.
Love it
Leilani H.
Getting my daughter to sleep and to stay asleep in her own bassinet was hard as she is a huge contact sleeper. With this sleep sac, I’m able to get her to sleep in it and for a long time! She’s been sleeping 8-10 hours at night and it’s been the best! 10/10 would recommend to all moms, new and experienced!
Cassidy R.
This is my 3rd item I’ve purchased from Nested Bean and my 2nd of these. I bought the purple first then the sand color. If your baby has Startle reflex or difficulty sleeping on their own in a bassinet, try this!! Every time I would lay my daughter down to sleep in her bassinet for the first almost 2 months of life she would wake up within five minutes. Then she developed a startle reflex in her sleep, but this cured it.
Mandi B.
Our newborn sleeps so good in this! He hated having his arms down so this is perfect for him. Highly recommend!
Amy B.
I have used the sleep sacks with my other kiddos and this little guy loves his hands by his face so I figured we would try the zen one. He loves it and sleeps great. The only thing is that he is going to grow out of this size very quickly, he is 10 lbs now and I’m not sure he will make it to 13lbs before we have to get the larger size.
Sarah E.
I’m sure the product would’ve been great if it would’ve fit my baby. When I asked to exchange for a bigger size, they didn’t make it easy as I needed to fill out a form and print it (who has a printer at home now?) and then bring everything to a designated shipping store. Again, all fine to do if I didn’t have a newborn at home and had a printer!
On the plus side, I was able to gift it to my friend so no money wasted and her baby loves it!
Cierra M.
I’m a second time mom and this is a great swaddle for my girl that likes her hands by her face. My only feedback would be to put an additional zipper on the bottom edge to make middle of the night diaper changes a little easier!
Katt B.
Game changer! Before my purchase it took hours to get my daughter down. After my sister recommended this sleep sack with her raving review, I bought one & it has made getting her down to sleep each night SO much faster (under 20 min) and easier. The price deterred me a bit at first but it is 100000% worth the money.
Nylah R.
My 5 week old only wants to sleep on me at all times, so I purchased the zen one sack after reading that it’s perfect for contact nappers. Last night was the first time using it, she slept for 6 hours in her first stretch! She woke to feed and then went right back to sleep for another 4 hours! She was only sleeping in 3 hour stretches at most so this is already amazing and so worth the money! I can’t wait to try it again tonight, if it continues to work this well I will be buying many more!!

The Zen One adapts to your baby’s unique sleep style at every stage, from birth through rolling—the perfect 3 to 6-month swaddle.

-
How much weight is in the Nested Bean Zen One™ transitional swaddle?

Use the Nested Bean Zen One™ from birth, or as the perfect 3 to 6-month swaddle to accommodate changing sleep preferences. It is safely calibrated only in the center to feel as gentle as your palm on their chest, instead all weighted blankets, which the AAP has deemed unsafe for infants.
-
When should I transition my baby out of the Nested Bean Zen One™ swaddle?
With most swaddles, once your baby starts begins to roll over, it's time to begin the transition from a swaddle to a sleep sack. But the Nested Bean The Zen One™ can safely be used as a 3 to 6-month swaddle—even if your baby has started to roll—by removing the mesh sleeves and swaddling arms-out.
-
What is The Cuddle Effect™—and how can the Nested Bean Zen One™ trigger it?
The Cuddle Effect is a proven metabolic response that babies experience when they are held, that triggers relaxation and well-being, improves sleep and promotes healthy development. 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. The Nested Bean Zen One ™ is designed with gently weighted Cuddle Pads™ that calm like your embrace to reduce wakeups from the startle reflex and promote the Cuddle Effect. The perfect 3 to 6-month swaddle for changing sleep preferences.
-
Can I use the Nested Bean Zen™ One with my baby’s arms free? Is it convertible?
Yes - unlike a traditional transitional swaddle blanket, the Zen One is designed with arms-free swaddling in mind. To use the Zen One™ with arms out, remove the mesh sleeves from the swaddle.
-
How do I know which mesh sleeve goes on which side of the Nested Bean™ Zen One?
When reattaching the sleeves on the Nested Bean Zen One™, the zipper should start at the back of the product and zip over the baby’s shoulder to the front. The final position should be at your baby’s armpit. If you’re having trouble zipping the sleeves back on, try switching them.
-
Does the Nested Bean Zen One™ meet industry safety standards?
The Nested Bean Zen One™ transitional swaddle adheres to all known mandatory standards for children's apparel for product construction, flammability and more. The Cuddle Pad™ in the Nested Bean Zen One™ is self-contained and cannot cause overheating, and the gentle weight provides uninterrupted comfort.
-
How has the Zen One design improved?
Babies may have different preferred positions of holding their arms as they sleep. After listening to thounsads of customer comments, we have modified the Zen One sleeves to accomodate every baby's preference. The sleeve design allows for a wider range of arm movements, while the stretch fabric and mesh sleeves offer the necessary restraint from startles.
-

Nested Bean Zen One™ transitional swaddles are made of the highest-grade fabrics, and, as essential 3 to 6-month swaddles, are designed to withstand multiple washings. To protect the fabric quality, we recommend washing them in cold water, on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat.
