what parents are saying
Love this weighted swaddle and so does my newborn. He instantly calms down when we place him in this. Has a small pocket for newborn legs, so fits babies starting at 7lbs. (Jun 06, 2014)

Research shows that touch, even simulated touch, calms babies by triggering their self-soothing response. The Zen Swaddle’s lightly weighted areas apply gentle pressure on your baby’s sides and center, mimicking the comfort of being held. This helps newborns snooze through minor disturbances, even startle reflexes. During their test phase, mothers reported that their babies got at least two hours of extra sleep.

I got 3 of these swaddles for my baby and I love them because it was easy to change my kid's diaper in the middle of the night since the zipper is by the feet. Sep 09, 2024

Our baby did not like this at all. The fit is very odd. It seemed way too close to his neck to be safe. We ended up returning the ones we bought. Oct 18, 2023

This is a game changer. It's a little pricey but worth every penny. We were able to get 2 additional hours of sleep with the nested bean swaddles. Jul 29, 2023

These worked wonders as a wearable blanket from 6 months on. Soft, room to kick their feet and a nice weight to give them comfort. Jul 17, 2023

My baby seems so comfortable in this swaddle. It was a splurge compared to other Swaddles but worth it to keep baby warm and comfy at night. Nov 17, 2022

Zen swaddle is great for babies who need that extra touch. Allows baby to be warm and safe while sleeping, but still feel like the weight of their care takers hand is on their chest Aug 21, 2022

This sleep sack is the reason my daughter sleeps through the night now. I am a firm believer this product and will use it for my next as well! Jul 14, 2022

Worked for awhile with my daughter but then she was able to get her hands under the band a pull it up. I changed to their zip swaddle and have loved it. Jan 28, 2021

I bought this in hopes it would help my son sleep, but ended up returning it after reading articles where pediatricians and NICU doctors warn against using weighted sleepsacks due to suffocation risks May 31, 2020

The weighted section give baby comfort of being help without having to he held. My girl still sleeps so much better with hers then regular swaddles. Jan 29, 2020

I did not like this product. It was too awkward to swaddle together. I don’t think the beanbag did much of anything imitation wise. Jan 02, 2020

I love these! The chick on the front is just the perfect weight for your baby to think they feel you there. Sep 17, 2019

This didn't work for my son. Concept is good and makes sense, but I guess you can't trick some babies! Sep 17, 2019

This sleep sack worked the best with my baby. It’s easy zip and soft. May 30, 2019

The two-stage sizing makes this helpful for longer than most swaddles. It's easy to wash and dry, with a soft texture. Mar 25, 2019

Great quality and design. It seemed to work on my baby here and there but it wasnt a consistent enough pattern for me to say it was all the swaddle...then she grew out of it :/ Nov 01, 2018

I love that this fits newborns and almost toddlers! I noticed a difference immediately using the weighted swaddle vs not. I’ve lent this to multiple friends to try & they found it to work as well! Mar 10, 2018

This swaddle worked just fine. I didn’t notice any difference with the weighted bean compared to when we used a cheaper swaddle. I wouldn’t re-purchase. Mar 05, 2018

I like the idea but my baby could work out of this more than other brands of velcro swaddles, it just didn't seem to work that well when actually put to the test. Jan 23, 2018

I don't get all these people who say these things are a miracle. It did not work for my baby and I tried for 3 months, totally a waste. Nov 06, 2017

A great swaddle that provides real weight on the chest, just like mom's hand. Our kids also loved this one. Oct 06, 2017
- Molly C.

I really liked it, & feel like if you get it when the baby is young enough it's wonderful and helps! We got about a month use, then she rolled over in her sleep so it wasn't comfortable to lay on. Jun 14, 2017

We have two and works just like pretty much all the other swaddles. It's fine but def doesn't get us any more sleep. May 03, 2017
