Storytime by Best Chairs
Storytime by Best Chairs brings power-operated gliders, recliners, and ottomans into the nursery with the kind of build quality parents notice at 3 a.m. during a feeding. The collection is built around long-haul comfort: whisper-quiet motors, smooth gliding motion, and upholstery that handles spit-up without showing the war stories. If you want a nursery chair that earns its square footage from newborn nights through toddler bedtime routines, this is where to start.
What Matters Most in a Power Glider Recliner
- Power vs. manual: Power recline lets you adjust position one-handed while a baby sleeps on your chest. Worth it for the first year alone.
- Swivel range: A full 360-degree swivel base means you can reach the changing table, dresser, or bassinet without standing up.
- USB charging: Built-in USB ports keep your phone, breast pump app, or sound machine running through cluster feeds.
- Seat depth and back height: Taller parents should check back height carefully; deeper seats with lumbar support handle long nursing sessions better than shallow profiles.
- Performance fabrics: Stain-resistant weaves clean up with a damp cloth. Important when milk, formula, and toddler snacks enter the equation.
- Weight capacity and frame: Look for hardwood frames and weight ratings that comfortably accommodate two people, you plus a growing toddler reading along.
Why Best Chairs Belongs in a Premium Nursery
Best Chairs has been building upholstered seating in Indiana since 1962, and the Storytime line is their nursery-specific range. A few reasons families pick it over generic recliners:
- For the design-conscious family: Contemporary profiles like the Heatherly read more living-room than baby-room, so the chair stays in rotation long after the nursery becomes a big-kid bedroom.
- For smaller nurseries: Compact swivel recliners deliver full power function in a footprint that fits apartments and shared rooms.
- For multi-caregiver households: Power controls mean grandparents, partners, and night nannies all operate the chair the same way, no awkward lever pulls while holding a newborn.
- Matching ottomans: Coordinating power ottomans extend the recline and double as a footrest during pregnancy's third trimester.
Plan the rest of the room around the chair, not the other way around. Pair your Storytime glider with nursery storage and crib essentials, and round out the early months with bath gear and a playard for daytime naps.
