Zen Swaddle

Molly L.

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.

  • This was a game changer. Our girl feel asleep better when I would rest my hand on her chest so this allowed her to feel the same connection and fall asleep on her own. Nov 09, 2022

  • We loved these. The weighted beans were helpful. Sep 01, 2022

  • Life saver. My baby slept amazingly with it, will be a must have with my little on the way! Jun 12, 2022

  • Used this a few times but didn't feel like my baby did as well as with other swaddles. Jun 01, 2022

    Best sleep sack weighted chick on chest soothes baby to sleep. May 24, 2022

  • Didn’t worth the money and after some research I read it was not recommended adding that weight into the babies so I stopped using it . May 04, 2022

  • My baby loves this. It changed his sleep night 1 of using it. He will stay asleep for 5-6 hours at a time with this Apr 26, 2022

    Won’t stay closed!! If your baby rolls at all, it doesn’t secure other than with the weight, so I kept finding him with his legs sticking out halfway through the night. Apr 24, 2022

  • Bought them for my 6 month old for spring summer since the material is on a thin side. Not the best sleep sack in the market but works ok. Apr 17, 2022

    Nice weighted sleeper! Apr 13, 2022

  • So easy to place sleeping baby into swaddle. Weighted chest section provided extra comfort for newborn. Apr 09, 2022

  • Love the concept but my baby hated it. I think for babies that enjoy being swaddled this might be nice but missed the mark for us. So many people recommended this though. Mar 13, 2022

    I don’t know if the weighted bean actually works, but my baby sleeps well in this. Mar 09, 2022

  • it worked just fine for our daughter. She didn't sleep any better or words though. i will say neck is a bit high when you reverse it for stomach sleeping baby. Mar 02, 2022

    • West Islip, New York

    My babies did well sleeping with this but I don't think it put them to sleep faster or made them sleep longer. They liked it and I liked it. Mar 02, 2022

    Unfortunately these didn't work for us, I wish it was weighted on the legs, which is what I thought when buying, it also made breastfeeding difficult due to placement of the beads on chest. Feb 04, 2022

  • I wanted this to work so badly, but it didn’t seem to smooth my baby at all. Probably depends on the child. Dec 05, 2021

  • Nice weighted swaddle but baby was able to get his arms out. Did help soothe him though Nov 28, 2021

  • Neither of my littles seemed to care if it was a zen or halo sleepsack. Nov 05, 2021

  • I am in love with these and can’t wait to use them when the baby comes! I hear the sizes sometimes run small so I figured with the price why not just get a 3-6 months. Give you both longer sleep times Sep 16, 2021

    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

  • Purchased when transitioning from swaddle to sleep sack. I liked the chest velcro and removable arms for when they get bigger. Apr 21, 2022

  • What a difference in sleep. So happy I invested in this! Jan 17, 2022

  • 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
