The Queen's Throne


Plunking a glider into an otherwise oh-so-perfectly decorated nursery has always been, well, a bit awkward. It just doesn't quite work with that carefully selected Calderesque mobile and 1950s French dresser. Not to mention the Barcalounger essence that imbues almost every sliding rocker out there.

So, slaves to style, we trade our happy back for a cool, but not-so-comfortable chair in which to rock and feed our newborn.

The new Monarch Nursery Chair might just be the one that saves you from the chiropractor. Managing to finally bridge the style/comfort divide, this chair was developed in the United Kingdom based on extensive research into the needs of breastfeeding women. Its ergonomically correct design supports you in all the right places for the marathon sessions you'll be putting in with a hungry infant. And the look is simple and sleek, covered in an innovative fabric that is antibacterial, stain resistant and waterproof (a real lifesaver if baby's feedings often make a second appearance).

The seat is low enough to keep your knees supported without a stool, and the curved seat-back and adjustable lumbar support eliminate the need for an avalanche of special pillows. The super stable seat also has flared sides so a big brother or sister can climb up and share a story, making feedings cozier for everyone.

The real deal-sealer? The Monarch looks nothing like a glider.

Finally elegance and ergonomics can get along.
