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.

Our baby sleeps more soundly when in her Zen Swaddle. It's also super comfortable and has plenty of room at the bottom for her to move her legs around. Apr 22, 2019

Bought this but haven’t been able to use yet because of weight of baby she’s too small for their recommended weight. Sister had them and swears by them Apr 11, 2019

I have a son who couldn’t sleep without me touch him. So. I thought this might work. He easily broke through. I was extremely disappointed. Apr 07, 2019

I got several of these and I really liked them at first, but then it seemed that they really weren't working. Not sure if its because we hit the 4mo sleep regression or if they never really worked. Mar 21, 2019

Baby is sleeping right no in this wonderful sleep sack. She is comfortable and falls quickly to sleep each night. Mar 17, 2019

The zen swaddle is a must! I started using this when my daughter was 2.5 months old and by night 2, she slept 8 straight hours! She outgrew the swaddle quickly but thankful for the Zen sleep sack. Mar 10, 2019

It's a very nice swaddle, soft, strong velcro, but the weight did not seem to make a difference. I like that the swaddle grows with baby. Mar 08, 2019

I can’t tell if this actually helps baby sleep better. It doesn’t seem to make things worse but really hard to tell if it actually helps at all. Wouldn’t say it’s really a necessity for this reason. Feb 16, 2019

There is no velcro on the center part and my infant manages to kick out of it. I think I will try the zen swaddles again once he has outgrown the swaddle part and just needs a sleep blanket. Feb 12, 2019

Love the weighted area and how it can be turned to the back is your baby is a tummy sleeper. I have several of these and highly recommend them Feb 08, 2019

AMAZING. My son has slept thru the night since 3 months old. I keep buying the larger sizes. We don't put him to bet without this on. Jan 16, 2019

Even though his didn’t do incredibly magical things for babes sleep, it excellent quality, perfect weight for year round and the science is neat. Jan 02, 2019

Really nice fabric. I’m not sure it does anything that a reg swaddle can, but it stays tight. Dec 20, 2018

Wanted to love this but once my son started to roll over in his sleep I felt it was uncomfortable to have the weighted part under him. He constantly changes sleep positions so this did not work for us Oct 23, 2018

This worked when all the others didnt! It was pricey but got the job done! Easy to use. Great material and easy to use [even half asleep!]! This is a must have! Oct 17, 2018

This is a must have for restless babies, it will save your life and your sleep also. I noticed a difference since day one and it only got better each time we used it, we still use it as much as we can Aug 31, 2018

Have used this multiple times for our LO, since he hates being swaddled and having his arms restricted. It gives him just the right amount of comfort and freedom to sleep so well at night! Aug 31, 2018
The material is very nice and well made, but it is too stretchy which makes it easy for the baby to get out of it on the middle of the night. The weighted parts are an excellent idea! Jul 10, 2018

I got the swaddle and the sleep sack to try and help my son sleep better at night after reading the reviews I was convinced this would help. It didn’t at all Jul 06, 2018

I used this to transition out of the Merlic Magic suit. It helped a little. I didn't like to have to button on both side and zip up on the side. It was difficult to do with a wriggling baby. Jul 03, 2018

Love the weighted swaddle and the comfort it gave my baby early on in his life. The fabric is so soft too. Jul 03, 2018

I wanted to love this so bad. I don't think it helped my baby sleep any better and it runs big. The fabric on the top also bunches up and can cover babies face so best to continuously monitor them. Jul 02, 2018

Love it!!!! It helps baby to stay snuggle and to stay asleep. Very soft and cute Jun 04, 2018

I like the sleep sack but don't like the actual swaddle. The velcro seems off, I could never get it to fit right. But the sleep sack is nice. The weight didn't do anything for my baby. May 27, 2018
- Lexi F.

Great concept, but the fabric was too stretchy and the construction around the shoulders allowed my wriggly baby to escape or have the fabric shift and bunch up around his face/mouth/nose. Apr 26, 2018

Tried an failed. We just could not get this wrap tight enough and our baby escaped every time. I love the concept and the wraps were adorable. Just wasn't for us. Mar 27, 2018

Didn’t make any difference in how my baby slept and the material makes it hard to keep the swaddle tight so she always got her arms out. Mar 19, 2018

My new born only sleeps with his zen swaddle, he doesn't like being swaddle with his hands in but this still works for him! Mar 14, 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

The Zen swaddle is all my newborn slept in when she came home from the hospital. The weight on top gave her a sense of having someone with her at all times. Feb 12, 2018

I loved this. I don't know if it helped her sleep bc I was terrified to NOT use it in case but she did sleep and it was easy to use and I am a fan! Feb 01, 2018

The concept is great but I don't think it was any more effective than a normal swaddle and was definitely 4x as difficult to wash - it literally takes days to dry thanks to those beans Jan 29, 2018
- Kelley G.
New York, New York
This was great at first as it was very calming to my little one. But it was short lived as she is a kicker and was able to kick out of this swaddle pretty easily. Jan 19, 2018

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

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
- 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
