Explore glider seating in styles and sizes suited to bedrooms, nurseries, living rooms and other personal spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a glider chair?
A glider chair is a type of seating designed to move smoothly back and forth. It provides a gentle gliding motion while remaining supported on its base.
Are gliders suitable for nurseries?
Yes. Gliders are commonly used in nurseries as comfortable seating for feeding, holding and soothing a baby. Consider cushioning, armrest support, dimensions and available floor space when choosing one.
Can I use a glider in a living room?
Yes. Many gliders can work as accent seating in living rooms, family rooms and reading areas. Choose a design that complements your existing furniture and décor.
How much space does a glider need?
The required space depends on the chair's dimensions and movement. Measure the available area and leave enough clearance for the glider to move comfortably without contacting nearby furniture or walls.
What should I consider when buying a glider?
Consider comfort, chair dimensions, gliding movement, upholstery, construction, style and intended use. Measuring your room and checking product specifications can help you make a suitable choice.
Are gliders only designed for babies' rooms?
No. Although gliders are popular in nurseries, they can also provide comfortable seating in living rooms, bedrooms, reading areas and other spaces where gentle movement is desirable.
How do I choose a glider that matches my furniture?
Compare the glider's upholstery, colour, silhouette and finish with your existing furniture. A complementary design can integrate the chair into the room, while a contrasting style can create an intentional accent.
