Question 1

What size Zen Sack should I buy for my baby — how should it fit?

Accepted Answer

Choose the Zen Sack size by your baby's weight and length: Small (0–6M) for ~7–18 lb and 21–30 in, Medium (6–15M) for ~16–26 lb and 26–33 in, Large (15–24M) for ~26–36 lb and 31–38 in; the sack should fit from the neckline to the bottom hem without too much extra length so the baby can't slip inside and with enough room to move their legs and hips freely.[1][6][3]

Question 2

Can the Zen Sack be used from newborn or is there a minimum weight?

Accepted Answer

Nested Bean recommends not using the 0–6M (Small) Zen Sack for babies under about 7 lb because a too-spacious sack can pose risk; follow the stated weight ranges on the size chart when deciding.[1][6]

Question 3

What TOG or temperature rating does the Zen Sack have and is it safe for different room temperatures?

Accepted Answer

Zen Sack fabrics have low TOG ratings — Classic models are about 0.5 TOG and Premier (bamboo) styles about 0.3 TOG — and are intended for year‑round use when layered appropriately; you should dress your baby in light or heavier layers under the sack according to room temperature and follow safe-sleep guidance to avoid overheating.[5][3]

Question 4

How should I dress my baby under the Zen Sack for different temperatures?

Accepted Answer

Use the sack as the outer layer and adjust inner sleepwear by room temperature: lighter layers (onesie or short-sleeve) in warm rooms and long-sleeve or footed pajamas in cooler rooms; monitor baby for signs of overheating (sweaty, hot to touch) and follow Nested Bean’s TOG guidance for fabric versions.[5][3]

Question 5

How do I wash and dry the Zen Sack without damaging the weighted Cuddle Pad?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash the Zen Sack cold on a delicate cycle and tumble dry low; the Cuddle Pad is self-contained inside the sack so follow the product care label (Nested Bean recommends gentle wash and low-heat drying) to preserve the fabric and distributed weight.[3][5]

Question 6

Is it safe that the Zen Sack is weighted — what about suffocation or SIDS risk?

Accepted Answer

The Zen Sack uses a gently weighted, self-contained Cuddle Pad designed with human factors and pediatric pulmonology input and has been safety tested; weights are placed only where babies are naturally held and doses are small, but parents should still follow all safe-sleep rules (place baby on their back, keep crib clear of loose bedding and toys, use correct size) and stop using wearable blankets once the child can climb out of the crib or exceeds the size recommendations.[3][4]

Question 7

When should I transition my baby out of the Zen Sack (to a blanket, bigger wearable, or none)?

Accepted Answer

Transition out of the Zen Sack when your child consistently exceeds the sack’s size/weight range, can climb out of the crib, or your pediatrician recommends it; many parents move to a larger wearable blanket or to pajamas plus a light blanket for toddlers once independent mobility and climbing risks increase.[1][3]

Question 8

Can tummy sleepers or babies who roll wear the Zen Sack safely?

Accepted Answer

The Zen Sack is reversible and can be worn backwards for tummy sleepers who roll independently, and its design allows all sleep positions, but parents must only use it when the baby meets the manufacturer’s maturity/mobility guidance and continue to follow safe-sleep practices.[3][5]
