{"product_id":"the-celine-nursing-rocking-chair","title":"The Celine Nursing Rocking Chair","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA nursing rocking chair with footstool and adjustable headrest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fleece is short, tightly curled and completely matt: no shine anywhere on it. It runs over every surface, the back, the arms, the outer sides, the footstool. The back is divided into three padded sections, a headrest at the top, a raised band across the lower back, then the seat, so this \u003cstrong\u003enursing rocking chair\u003c\/strong\u003e reads as a stack of cushions rather than one upholstered plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEverything sits within reach of one seated position. The headrest tilts to meet the head, the lumbar cushion fills the hollow below it, and the pocket on the outer arm keeps a phone to hand without leaning forward. The footstool is bolted to a steel arm at the front, so it arrives at the height the seat sets. Nothing has to be fetched once you are down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOut, the footstool adds its own length to the front of the chair, and it stays attached, so that length is permanent. Behind, the runners need travel for the 30 degree arc. In a nursery where the cot takes the long wall, the chair usually ends up on the diagonal, facing in, with the stool pointing away from the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTeddy fleece and colour on a nursery feeding chair\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree tones, and the curl behaves differently in each. Ivory keeps the relief visible: daylight sits on the top of every loop and the shadow between them draws the seams. Grey closes that gap, so the same panels flatten into one mass. Pink sits between the two, warm at midday, almost neutral under a lamp at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat shows depends on the tone. A pale curl reveals marks on the raised loops first; a deeper one hides them and shows crushing instead, where the pile has been sat flat. The care is the same either way: brush the loops upright, vacuum with the brush head before dust works into the curl, and blot spills with a barely damp cloth rather than rubbing them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEquipment is what separates these chairs once the fabric stops being the question. The \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myrockingchair.co.uk\/collections\/rocking-chair-with-footstool\"\u003eseats that include a footstool\u003c\/a\u003e arrive as one piece, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myrockingchair.co.uk\/collections\/nursing-rocking-chair\"\u003echairs built around feeding\u003c\/a\u003e answer to the same hours, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/myrockingchair.co.uk\/collections\/rocking-chair\"\u003eseats that rock on runners\u003c\/a\u003e cover everything else with the same motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEverything included on a rocking chair with a footstool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost nursery chairs arrive as a chair. The stool is a second purchase, and it stands loose on the floor, so it drifts every time the seat moves. Here the stool is part of the frame, in the same fleece, travelling with the arc instead of staying behind. The headrest adjusts rather than sitting fixed, the pockets are sewn into the outer arms, and the steel frame underneath is rated to 100 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt works in a nursery with a clear metre in front of it and a hand's span behind. What a chair plus a loose stool cannot give is one piece that stays aligned: the feet stay where they were put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe equipment is the point here. A \u003cstrong\u003enursing rocking chair\u003c\/strong\u003e that arrives complete asks for its floor once, not twice. Measured together, the chair and the stool are one object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePoints worth knowing first\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree questions that come up while a nursery is being planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a nursing chair and a rocking chair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne describes purpose, the other describes movement. The first covers seats built for feeding: taller back, arms at forearm height, a seat wide enough to hold a baby and a cushion. The second covers anything mounted on runners or a sprung base. Plenty of chairs sit in both categories at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you need a footstool with a nursing rocking chair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot essential, though it changes the angle at the knee and stops the legs hanging. Height matters more than size: a stool set a little below seat height keeps the thighs supported, while a taller one lifts them off the seat. Attached versions move with the chair, free-standing ones stay where they are put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between a glider and a rocking chair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe path and the floor contact. A rocker tips through an arc on curved runners, so it rises slightly at each end of the swing and needs clearance behind. A glider stays level on a linkage, travelling back and forth in a straight line, and can sit closer to a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Ivory","offer_id":57975695868287,"sku":null,"price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":57975695901055,"sku":null,"price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink","offer_id":57975695933823,"sku":null,"price":419.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/6470\/3359\/files\/nursing-rocking-chair-with-footsool_1.webp?v=1784121189","url":"https:\/\/myrockingchair.co.uk\/products\/the-celine-nursing-rocking-chair","provider":"My Rocking Chair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
