Nursing Chairs – Comfortable Feeding & Rocking Chairs for the Nursery

Shop our range of nursing chairs – specially designed armchairs and gliders that make feeding, settling, and bonding with your baby significantly more comfortable. A good nursing chair is one of the most underrated nursery investments – you'll spend hours in it during night feeds, and the right chair makes a real difference to your comfort and your baby's ability to settle.

Nursing Chair vs Glider vs Rocking Chair – What's the Difference?

  • Nursing chair – A padded armchair designed for feeding. Usually has a low seat height, wide arms for resting your baby, and a supportive back. Some models recline.
  • Glider chair – Moves in a smooth, forward-and-back gliding motion on a fixed base. Quieter and smoother than a traditional rocker – less likely to wake a settled baby when you stand up.
  • Rocking chair – Traditional curved base that rocks freely. The rocking motion can be very soothing for babies but the chair can rock away from you when you stand up.
  • Our verdict – A glider is the most practical choice for most parents – the smooth, controlled motion is easier to use one-handed while feeding, and the fixed base means it won't move when you stand up with a sleeping baby.

How to Choose the Right Nursing Chair

  • Seat height – Your feet should rest flat on the floor when seated. A footstool or ottoman can help if the chair is slightly high.
  • Arm height – Arms should be at a comfortable height for supporting your baby during feeds – not too high (causing shoulder tension) or too low (causing you to hunch).
  • Fabric – Choose a fabric that's easy to wipe clean. Feeding can be messy – a wipeable or removable cover is a practical choice.
  • Ottoman/footstool – A matching footstool raises your feet and knees, improving your feeding posture and reducing back strain during long feeds.

Frequently asked questions

Helpful answers to some of the questions our customers ask most often.

A nursing chair isn't strictly essential, but most parents who have one say it's one of the best nursery purchases they made. Newborns feed 8–12 times per day – including through the night – and having a comfortable, supportive chair dedicated to feeding makes a significant difference to your comfort and your ability to stay relaxed during feeds. A good nursing chair also becomes a settling and reading chair as your child grows, giving it long-term value well beyond the newborn stage.
A nursing chair is a general term for any armchair designed for feeding. A glider is a specific type of nursing chair that moves in a smooth, forward-and-back gliding motion on a fixed base – unlike a traditional rocking chair, which rocks freely on curved legs. Gliders are generally considered the most practical choice for feeding as the motion is smooth and controlled, easier to use one-handed, and the fixed base means the chair won't move away from you when you stand up with a sleeping baby.
Position your nursing chair in a quiet corner of the nursery, away from draughts and direct sunlight. Ideally, place it close enough to the cot or crib that you can settle your baby without walking far after a feed. Ensure there's enough space around the chair for it to glide or rock freely without hitting walls or furniture. Good lighting nearby is useful for night feeds – a dimmable lamp at arm's reach is ideal so you can see without fully waking yourself or your baby.
