Rocking Chairs: Cushions
built 485 days ago
Rocking chairs are a tried and true nursery staple. They offer a comfortable place to sit with the ability to gently rock your baby when they need to relax. Traditional rocking chairs are solid hardwood with turned spindles, carved seats, and curved skis. The skis create the rocking movement when you gently push against the floor with your feet. If you don’t want to sit directly on a hard surface or feel spindles on your back, use a cushion. A cushion tied to the back and seat of the rocking chair can give you a little extra padding.

Glider rockers have a glider mechanism rather than runners like a traditional rocking chair. They usually don't take up quite as much floor space as a conventional rocker. Glider rockers give a very smooth back and forth motion and in some instances depending on the person rocking, are easier to rock in a rhythmic motion because of the gliding action. Dutailier gliders from Quebec, Canada are considered to be the Cadillac of glider rockers. Gliders come with custom cushions and most styles have a matching ottoman available. . . ooh heaven!

Outdoor rocking chairs are made or wood, plastic, wicker, rattan, metal, and many other materials. Adding cushions to your rocking chair will make it even more enjoyable. Gliding rocking chairs are a new twist on the old favorite and take the work out of rocking yourself back and forth.

Upholstered rocking chairs can add antique moods to any room. Rich, neutral textures bring warmth to your décor, and the cushions offer extra comfort. Toss an afghan across the arm of one of these antique rocking chairs to really emphasize that antique feel.
