glider chairs for a nursery

One of the important furniture items for your nursery is the perfect, comfy chair. Whether it rocks, glides or is stationary, I have a roundup of the best rockers, gliders and chairs, at various price points. POÄNG Rocking Chair at IKEA ($179) This pick may not have all the bells and whistles, but you can’t beat the price. It comes in over a dozen colors, and also happens to be really comfortable. Nursery Works Sleepytime Rocker at Target ($500) I love that Target is bringing its A-game with high design at a more affordable price point. The fact that this rocker features a deep seat is an added bonus. Urban Rocker at Pottery Barn (Starting at $799) This option is great because you can select various colors and fabrics; you’re paying a higher price for the quality. You can also purchase a coordinating ottoman, which is great if that’s part of your nursery decor plan. Monte Design Joya Rocking Chair at Land of Nod ($1,095 as pictured; more color options available here)

I can’t praise Monte Design enough. We own one of their gliders (which I talk more about below) and it is built to last! You can’t beat the quality of construction and upholstery. This is a worthy splurge if there ever was one.

And the seafoam color is so calming. If said calming color happens to blend in with your nursery scheme, you should jump on this! (Pssst… a little bird told me this also is available in grey here. But there’s only a few left, so you should definitely hurry!) Graham Glider at West Elm (Starting at $799) I know, you’re thinking, why on earth would I have a chair that color in my baby’s room? But please hear me out, because I actually own a couch upholstered in this exact fabric. It holds up really well, and is also really soft. You can also choose to customize your colors and fabric at a higher cost. Monte Design Luca Glider at Monte Design ($1095) When my husband and I were looking for a glider, we knew we wanted to invest in a piece that would begin in the nursery and have the versatility to transition to other spaces. This glider is the glider we chose. You can choose from over a dozen colors, and select contrasting piping fabric, if you so desire. It also comes with a lumbar pillow that is also color customizable.

The companion ottoman also glides (which was a big deal for me), and can be matched to your glider, so it’s well worth the splurge. It’s been almost six years (and two babies) later, and both our glider and ottoman are still like new. POÄNG Chair at IKEA ($109) Like its rocking chair counterpart, this stationary chair comes in multiple colors and is surprisingly comfortable. It has excellent neck and head support (which is a must for those late night feedings!) and features a flexible back, so it’s not too stiff when you sit down. Also, the price is pretty dang amazing. Rhys Mid-Century Recliner at West Elm (Starting at $699) This chair reclines, which is so great. If you’re looking for a stationary chair that can also be comfortable for feedings, a recliner is probably your best bet. I like the fact that you can choose your own colors and fabrics, and that it could easily be used in other rooms, or in your child’s room as he or she grows up. Henry Power Recliner at West Elm ($999)

The softness, the plushness, the look and feel … this recliner has it all. Again, you can pick your fabrics and colors. It also has that, “I could live in any room and fit right in” vibe that makes its price tag seem a bit more reasonable. Which option would you choose? Are rockers, gliders or chairs worth the splurge, or are they an opportunity to save? i i i iGlider Slipcover Glider Redo Baby Glider Slipcovers Recover Glider Rocker Glider Rockers Glider Chair Nursery Gliders Extra Work Forward I don't think I have time to make my own slipcover and our glider (which is an armchair not a wood glider) doesn't need all of the extra work this tutorial shows, but this is the color slipcover we want and if all else fails, I think I could whip one up if I had too. Even if it ends up being more loose and less perfect. It would look nice to add ties on the arms.Welcome to the first few months of parenthood, where you’ll be up in the wee hours of the morning for feedings.

It can really start to wear on you after a while, but you can make things a little more comfortable by getting a rocker or glider chair to sit in while you feed. Believe me, you really appreciate them once you use them a few times. You can always feed in your own bed, but after you do it for a while you’re really going to wish you could just sit in the nursery comfortably and feed. While a regular sofa chair can work, most babies find comfort in the motion provided by a rocker glider. While wooden rocking chairs have been around for a long time, only recently have gliders come into favor with parents. And for good reason; they’re way more comfortable because of the upholstery and padding compared to a wooden chair. Plus, the motion provided by a rocker glider is much more gentle and soothing to babies. The real bonus is that you can move the chair to your living room after your feeding days are over; most of them are really nice to look at, and wouldn’t be at all out of place.

Here are some things you should look for in a glider. The least-expensive option on our list, the Stork Craft Hoop Glider (click here to see it in 5 different colors) is a nice little glider chair that will work well in most nurseries. There is a version with an ottoman, which I would recommend personally, but you can save a little bit of money if you go without one. Unlike some gliders, it doesn’t recline very far, but it’s still very comfortable. The arm rests have pockets that you can use to store things like TV remotes or magazines, which is nice. It’s also a nice-looking chair, so it will fit well in any nursery, or even the living room afterward. All in all, this isn’t the best glider, but as a budget option, it does the job. This nice-looking glider (click here to check price) has padded arms (which I love) and a matching ottoman that also glides. All of the cushioning is removable, and that includes the arms. It’s really comfortable even if you have to sit in it for long periods of time, especially if you have a bad back.

The rocker can lock into a total of 6 different positions depending on what you prefer, from upright to inclined. For feeding purposes, you’ll probably want to have it in one of the first few upright positions. The real bonus of this chair is the ottoman. Not all gliders come with one, and it really makes a huge difference in how comfortable it is to be able to have your feet elevated. Overall, this is a really nice glider that doesn’t cost much. A step up from the Shermag, the Dutailier glider (click here to see it in 4 different colors) is an excellent glider chair and ottoman combo. There are several models and variations of Dutailier chairs, and all of them are pretty nice. It’s really easy to assemble and only takes 10-15 minutes. Like Shermag, they have 6 different reclining positions to make it as comfortable as possible for you, and the ottoman just adds to the comfort. You aren’t going to want to use it without it! The cushions are all removable to make them easy to clean, too.

The high back is really supportive and feels great on the back and neck, especially for late-night feedings. While this isn’t a cheap glider, it’s really great and I’d highly recommend it! A different design from the others on the list, the Pulaski Sutton (click here to see it in 3 different colors) looks and feels like a sofa chair that functions as a glider! It’s really comfortable to sit in for extended periods of time, and has a recliner to rest your feet on. If you happen to fall asleep in the chair, the reclining footrest will stay locked in place. The chair reclines to about a 45 degree position, but just remember that you can’t glide with it in a reclined position. The material used on the outside is microfiber, and it’s really easy to clean if need be. What’s really nice about this chair is that it swivels, so you can place it wherever you want and face different directions. It seems like it’s big for a small room, but it really isn’t, and you don’t have to have it very far away from a wall in order to be able to recline with it.

Since it’s basically a sofa chair, it fits in well in any other room once you’re done using it in the nursery. Rounding out the list is the babyletto Madison Swivel Glider (click here to see it in 2 colors). Like the name might suggest, it has a 360 degree swivel so you can point it any direction you want. It’s a nice-looking and small glider, so it will work in even the smallest of nurseries. You can easily switch it to any other room of the house when you’re done using it as a glider, too. It fits in well with other furniture. The only real downside of this glider is that it doesn’t have a high back. This means you can’t lay your head back to rest it. If you plan on sleeping in your glider, you might want to take a look at the other ones on the list, most of which both recline and have high backs.
