Our Story
Once upon a time There was a baby who wouldn't sleep and a mom who needed some rest. One night... This sleep deprived mom (Manasi) replaced her hand on her son's chest with a little stuffed toy... And he stayed sleeping under its gentle pressure. It got her thinking... Could this be the answer to her (and other parents’) sleepless nights? And so it began! After tons of research and consulting with doctors and pediatric pulmonologists... A thumbs up from safety labs and parent testers... The world's first gently weighted Swaddle and Nested Bean were born! And then our reach grew... We introduced the Zen Sack, so the sweet dreams could continue after swaddling. Later we added added lightly weighted Footies and Onesies for naps on the go.
Over 1,000,000 families (and counting!) are getting a better night's sleep thanks to Zen Sleepwear. But our story doesn't end there..We continue to innovate safe, intuitive products to help babies sleep and families thrive!
We help babies sleep and families thrive, by creating smart, safe, intuitive sleep wellness products that put your sleep challenges lovingly to rest.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), swaddling is an effective way to help your baby sleep better and reduce wakeups due to startle reflex. Some studies have even shown that swaddling can reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
However, in order to be safe and effective, you need to learn how to swaddle your baby properly. Your pediatrician may have showed you how to swaddle with a traditional swaddling blanket before taking baby home. Luckily, the Zen Swaddle’s design makes it even easier to get the perfect swaddle—no complicated folding or tucking required!
