Finding the Best Nursing Chair for You and Your Baby
Furniture and seating spaces are star players in the household. You spend a lot of time in them, and they are major design facets of a room. In the case of a nursing chair, you’ll be holding your baby in it, meaning that it can’t just look and feel good—it must also meet a high safety standard. To this end, selecting a nursing chair shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Babyletto furniture provides a comfortable and stylish space for you and your baby. Knowing how important this formative bonding time is for you and your newborn, we’ve set out to present options that help you consider room layout, space, and preferred style.
Whether you need a nursery rocking chair for gentle soothing, a glider chair for smooth motion, or a recliner for added comfort, Babyletto offers thoughtfully designed seating solutions to complement any nursery.

Types of Nursing Chairs
Sure, it’s just a chair, but you’ll spend a lot of time in it. So, shouldn’t you stop to consider which type of chair suits your needs? We think so!
Selecting a nursing chair involves understanding the different types available, their nuances, advantages, and quirks. Each design has unique features that cater to specific needs, from compact spaces to enhanced lumbar support, because we understand that each parent comes from different cultural, physical, and financial backgrounds.
Babyletto offers a variety of options in the three core styles of nursing chairs: glider rockers, recliners, and rocking chairs. We suggest you take a look at our selection of ottomans, too, just in case that added comfort is of good use to you.
Let’s break it down:
Recliners
A baby nursing chair with a reclining feature allows you to lean back and relax while feeding or cuddling your little one. Babyletto thoughtfully combines ergonomic design with plush comfort, making late-night feedings more manageable. Many of our recliners also include a swivel function and built-in footrest, eliminating the need for an ottoman. Recliners are an excellent option for those with limited space in the nursery.
Rockers
The classic Rockabye Baby song didn’t just come out of nowhere! A nursery rocking chair is a timeless choice for parents who want a gentle back-and-forth motion to soothe their baby to sleep. Babyletto’s modern glider rockers offer a contemporary take on this classic nursery rhyme, providing both comfort and a sleek aesthetic. Our rocking chairs for the nursery feature sturdy wooden rockers and cozy cushioning that ensure style and function in equal measure. Classic rockers lack the reclining and footrest option, so it’s a good chair to pair with an ottoman if your space allows. However, a rocking chair can easily live independently from an ottoman if you’re dead set on the classic rocker for your baby.
Gliders
A glider chair moves smoothly and horizontally, offering a more controlled and relaxing experience than a traditional rocking chair for a nursery. Babyletto’s gliders include high-back designs, 360-degree swivel functions, and stain-resistant fabrics to meet the needs of modern parents. Whether you’re looking for a minimalist glider rocker or a fully upholstered nursery chair, our collection has something for every nursery theme.
Ottomans for Your Nursery Chair
We’ll remind you again that an ottoman add-on can be a great comfort and aesthetic addition to your nursery. Pairing your nursing chair with an ottoman provides extra support for your feet, especially if your nursery chair doesn’t recline. An ottoman can enhance your overall comfort, making those long nights with your baby more restful. Babyletto’s collection includes coordinated ottomans designed to match our nursery chairs seamlessly.
