A nursing chair earns its place in the nursery faster than almost any other piece of furniture, since it’s the seat you’ll return to for every feed, day and night, for months on end. At Babymore, our nursing chairs are built specifically around that reality: a smooth gliding or rocking motion to help settle your baby, generous cushioned support for feeding sessions that run long, and practical arm pockets built into the design so a muslin, your phone, or a water bottle are always within one-handed reach. Every chair pairs with a matching footstool, giving you proper leg and lower back support through even the longest night feeds.
Fabric choice matters more in a nursing chair than in almost any other seat in the house, since you’ll be sitting in it daily for hours at a stretch. Our range spans soft, textured bouclé finishes through to smoother, tailored fabrics, so it’s worth browsing the full nursing chair range to compare finishes side by side rather than settling on the first one you see. Both bring a genuinely elevated, considered feel to the nursery, rather than a purely functional glider chair.
Our nursing chairs include storage pockets built into the arms, solving one of the most common frustrations of night feeds: needing something within reach without wanting to get up. It’s a small detail that does a lot of practical work once you’re several weeks into a newborn’s feeding schedule.
A standard armchair or sofa seat wasn’t designed with feeding posture in mind. A proper nursing chair sits at a height and depth that supports good feeding posture, with a gliding motion specifically calibrated to help soothe a feeding or settling baby, something a fixed armchair simply can’t replicate. If you’re furnishing the room from scratch, Babymore’s nursing chairs are worth budgeting for alongside the rest of your nursery furniture, even though a chair isn’t included in a standard nursery furniture set.

A nursing chair is purpose-built for the mechanics of feeding: the seat height, depth, and back support are calibrated for comfortable feeding posture over long stretches, and the gliding or rocking motion is specifically suited to soothing a baby during or after a feed. A standard armchair or sofa seat lacks this calibration and often leads to slouching or strain during extended sessions.
A footstool isn't strictly essential, but it makes a genuine difference to comfort during long feeds, since it lets you elevate your legs and take pressure off your lower back, particularly useful during the newborn stage when feeding sessions can run long and frequent.
Bouclé is both. Its textured weave is durable and holds up well to daily use, and most nursery-grade bouclé fabrics are treated to resist everyday marks, though like any fabric it benefits from being kept away from direct spills where possible.
Yes. A gliding chair with a footstool remains a genuinely comfortable reading or settling chair well beyond the feeding stage, and many parents keep it in the nursery or move it into a playroom as their child grows.
As a general guide, allow enough floor space for the chair's glide or rock motion plus the footstool in front of it, typically a clear area of at least 100 x 100cm, so the chair can move freely without hitting nearby furniture or walls. If space is genuinely tight, it's worth planning the chair's position before choosing the rest of your nursery furniture, since it often needs the most clearance of any single piece.
