Zen Swaddle

Samantha R.

weeThink

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.

LOVE: 84 NEUTRAL: 63
REGRET: 36 WANT: 146

  • I just purchased a few of these and they are amazing. I don't know why I waited so long. I would love to get more!! The little weight sooths babies and helps to keep them calm. May 31, 2021

  • This is dangerous. My baby was able to get her hands out the bottom and pull the swaddle part over her face! I ended up returning it! May 31, 2021

    It’s a very cute swaddle May 29, 2021

  • Wanted to love these, but they just didn’t work for our baby. Mar 22, 2021

  • THESE ARE THE BEST. My first born just outgrew it at 2.5 and she still sleeps with it in her crib. my 9 month old loves hers. It is can be worn on the back or front. Mar 17, 2021

    • Cody D.

    • Albuquerque, New Mexico

    I don’t think it really helped our daughter sleep. The design is a little inconvenient compared to other sleep sacks. Mar 16, 2021

  • An age old trick for helping baby sleep was to put rice in a glove atop of baby, this is built into the swaddle, so smart and so handy Mar 04, 2021

  • My daughter fell asleep much faster when we started using the Zen Swaddle. Had to stop using it at night because the Velcro wasn’t strong enough to keep her arms in through the night. Mar 01, 2021

  • This was just ok for us. My daughter was a 95-percentile baby, so I think due to her size she was able to work her way out more easily when she got to two months. Feb 11, 2021

  • Used these sleep sacks for my first from 3 months-8months. He loved them. Have the regular cotton as well as the thicker winter sacks. Jan 31, 2021

  • 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

  • We love this as a sleep sack for our babe. Not sure if the weighted beans help her though but she seems to sleep very comfortably in it. Jan 25, 2021

  • These were great. Didnt feel comfortable using them when baby could roll tho Jan 19, 2021

  • Have this product but wish the weight was a little bigger. Did not work for us but baby slept cozy in it Jan 17, 2021

  • My son loves to be swaddled. When it was time to transition we bought this to give a little more comfort. He absolutely hated it. We used it from and back. This product was a waste of money for us. Jan 04, 2021

  • Bought 2 to help with sleep training. So far haven't seen a difference from when we use other sleep sacks though. Jan 03, 2021

  • Didn’t work well with my daughter, but honestly nothing helped her sleep. So may have been more about her than the swaddle. Dec 31, 2020

  • Nice swaddle but didn’t really give her any more comfort like advertised. I don’t think it’s a bad product just didn’t work For us. Pro: lightweight. Con: expensive. Dec 15, 2020

  • I don’t know if this is what really did it, but my newborn started sleeping due 4 hour chunks of time once I started putting her in this. Dec 02, 2020

  • Wanted to love this for the cute print and because the idea of the weighted egg was nice. But we ended up preferring Halo Swaddles for their ease and effectiveness at getting our kid to sleep. Nov 27, 2020

  • I loved that it could be zipped in both directions, giving easy access for diaper changes, but I don’t feel it helped my daughter sleep longer. Nov 11, 2020

  • The top of the swaddle with the weighted portion does not secure to anything, just lays on baby's chest. Our baby kicked and the swaddle basically just came undone. Not recommended for active babies. Oct 27, 2020

  • I love this swaddle. The weights in it are so soothing and my son sleeps much better in it! Oct 03, 2020

  • Not approved by my baby. Jul 18, 2020

  • When our baby was young, this is the only swaddle he’d tolerate. Jul 15, 2020

  • 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

  • Used this swaddle the longest. Baby loves the added weight. May 08, 2020

  • It seems well made and I loved the easy zipper access. I'm neutral because it did not help my son sleep at night. Mar 04, 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

  • My daughter got her arms loose and the chest velcro was around her neck and face. Never used again Jan 20, 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

    • Amy K.

    • Ellicott City, Maryland

    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

    • Elly S.

    • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

    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

    • Katie G.

    • United States of America

    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

    • Allie B.

    • Swedesboro, New Jersey

    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

  • My 5 month old doesn't really like this, although I have friends who swear by them! Feb 04, 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

  • I returned this product because I didn’t like the way that Velcro went together. My baby was able to kick out of it and it didn’t really help her sleep. Oct 18, 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

  • 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

    • Aly M.

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    Great idea but didn't work for my baby Apr 13, 2017

  • Great concept and my baby loves this swaddle. This makes nights so much better. Mar 30, 2017

  • Super soft cotton, and I really like that it's weight both on the top and the sides with a bean bag. Feb 16, 2015

    • Dawn L.

    • New York, New York

    Such a great product Oct 16, 2014

  • 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
