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.

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

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

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 daughter loved this from the age of 3 months to about 10 months. It helped her feel secure and sleep without my husband or I in the room. Recommend. Sep 14, 2021

Literally the only way I can swaddle my son, the weighted part soothes him Aug 17, 2021

While not the miracle “sleep through the night” I read it was, this swaddle is pretty awesome! I love that the arms zip off so it can transition with us Jul 31, 2021

The idea and science behind weighted blankets is so awesome and I love the idea of a safe way to do this for my infant! Jul 22, 2021

This is a decent swaddle, but was not any better or worse than his other swaddles despite the weighted areas. My baby also was able to free his hands from it early on. Jul 14, 2021

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

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

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

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
