The Margin Nursing Rocking Chair

The full measurements, in cm and inches, are on the dimensions photo in the gallery above. Allow space behind the chair for it to rock.

Assembled in 30 minutes.

The instructions come in the box. Unpack it near where the chair will live, and keep the packaging until you're sure you're keeping it.

The sofa was never meant for 2am

You started on the sofa because it was nearest. Now every night feed means a cushion behind your back, another under your elbow, and your neck bent forward because there's nothing behind your head. The baby is fine. You are the one who can't get comfy. You'd love a chair that does the propping up for you.

From propped up on cushions to properly held

This high wingback rocking chair holds you from the base of your back to your head: a removable headrest, a neck pillow and a lumbar support cushion, with padded arms either side. The rock is gentle and steady for the long wake-ups. Later, it's where stories are read and, one day, where you finally get to read your own book. A chair that stays useful long after the feeds stop.

Why parents choose it

• A back that reaches your head: the channel-tufted back rises 59 cm above the seat, with a removable headrest and a neck pillow, so you can lean back fully instead of hunching forward.
• Wings that make a little shelter: the curved sides frame your shoulders, which feels calmer in the dark and gives your arm a place to lean while you hold the baby.
• Small things within reach: a pocket on the side of the arm holds the muslin, the bottle lid or your phone, so you're not reaching across the room in the dark.
• Soft, bright and easy on the eye: ivory teddy-style bouclé on a slim black metal frame with light wooden rockers. It lifts a small, dim room rather than filling it.
• Support low down, too: a lumbar cushion fills the gap at the small of your back, and the arms sit 57 cm from the floor, at a natural height for your elbow during a feed.

Who it's for

Made for parents who want proper support for their neck and shoulders, first-time parents furnishing a light, neutral nursery, and grandparents choosing a gift that will be sat in every night. Also lovely as a bedroom reading chair once the feeds are over.

Perhaps not for you if your corner is under about 65 cm wide, if you need a footstool (this chair has none), or if you want it to recline: it rocks, but the back stays upright.

The measurements that matter

• Overall width (across the arms): 64 cm / 25.2 in. Measure the gap between the cot and the wall before ordering.
• Depth: 92 cm / 36.2 in. Allow this much floor from the wall, plus a little for the rock.
• Overall height: 91 cm / 35.8 in. Tall enough for the back and headrest to reach your head when seated.
• Seat height: 42 cm / 16.5 in. Feet flat on the floor for most people, so standing up with a baby stays easy.
• Seat: 43 cm wide and 46 cm deep, with a 59 cm back.
• Arm height: 57 cm / 22.4 in. From the floor; where your elbow rests while you hold the baby.
• Cushions: removable headrest, neck pillow and lumbar support.
• Maximum load: 113 kg (250 lbs), as stated by the manufacturer. The weight the frame is built to carry.
• Materials: bouclé teddy fabric, thickened metal frame, solid rubberwood rockers, cushioned seat and back.
• Movement: rocks gently; the back does not recline.
• Assembly: simple home assembly.

Measurements as supplied by the manufacturer; allow 2–3 cm.

Order with confidence

Free UK delivery in 4–8 working days, with your delivery window shown before you pay. Pay in 4 interest-free instalments with Klarna or PayPal (18+, UK residents, subject to status), or pay in full. Changed your mind? You have 30 days from delivery to send it back; the return cost is yours. As with any UK purchase, your chair must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described (Consumer Rights Act 2015): a fault within 30 days means a refund, and after that repair or replacement.

Comparing with a second-hand armchair? Look at the back height and the seat width: they decide whether your head and shoulders are supported. Questions? Email contact@arcandstory.com.

Babies don't always wait for their due date. With 4–8 working days for delivery, ordering now means your corner is ready before the first night feed, not after it. Add it to your basket and set up your corner.

A chair for feeding and stories while you're awake. Please follow The Lullaby Trust's safer-sleep advice and never fall asleep with your baby in an armchair.

Follow the care label on your chair first. For everyday marks, blot gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth rather than rubbing, and test any cleaner on a hidden spot. Keep the chair out of strong direct sunlight and away from radiators. Not sure? Email us and we'll check for your model.
