I took a picture of DH testing it out and he was kind of slouching in it, and his head rested against the back (and he's 5'9"). I can send you the picture if you wall me your email address.</p> <p>Wouldn't it be nice if there were just Land of Nod retail stores everywhere so you could try them out in person?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2156480 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 19:36:11 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2156480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'7''.

How tall are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2156428 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 18:43:23 +0000 raspberries 2156428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: I got it this past weekend, actually! You can schedule shipping on their website when you check out, and there was open availability starting about 4 days later. Two guys with a furniture truck delivered it and took it upstairs to the our nursery, unpackaged it, and had me check for scratches/imperfections. Overall a great experience... it's so comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2156419 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 18:34:26 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2156419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: When does your glider come? I am trying to decide if I should get it still and have to hurry up before the sale ends! I really wonder about how high the back is. I want a nice glider SO badly and now I feel like I am more willing to spend more $$ since Ive spent a lot of time at night in the rocking chair. I have a ridiculous amount of pillows and blankets on that thing to make it more comfortable! But if I splurge on some Ive seen, they take like 3-4 mo!!! By that point my baby will be 7-8 mo old! Thats crazy to me. I know I should have got my sh** together sooner on this whole thing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2143938 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 16:59:41 +0000 CakeLady 2143938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Milo, it was definitely a splurge, but I have spent SO SO SO many hours in that chair it was totally worth it. Still comfy after 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2143919 Tue, 14 Apr 2015 16:33:30 +0000 raspberries 2143919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: @Amelieisme: @ohapostrophe: @junebugsmama: Thanks ladies!

Mine is plush and comfy. It isn't huge but I can fit in it with my nearly 3yo sitting next to me for story time. I didn't use mine a lot for breastfeeding just because of logistics (mostly didn't want to sit in the nursery to nurse) but we get a lot of use out of it for rocking/story time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2142111 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 12:47:56 +0000 raspberries 2142111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Oooh, thanks - I always forget that when I search the boards, it doesn't also search the blog posts. I'll go check out her post!</p> <p>@junebugsmama: YES, preach it sister! I feel like trying to find a small, comfy, not-super-expensive glider = trying to find a unicorn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2142019 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:43:58 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2142019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: we also have a teeny nursery and that's why I've held off. Especially since I wasn't sure where I'd be nursing him. Turns out I nurse him in the living room, bed, and in his nursery, but I spend enough time sitting on the rocking chair we have in the nursery that I still think we should get one! I just want to find a tall one that I can rest my head on, with a small foot print to avoid filling the room, and a decent price. Not too much to ask right? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2142018 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:43:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2142018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of the HB bloggers, Mrs. Hopscotch I think, raved about the Toby. It is a good looking glider. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2142008 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 11:36:42 +0000 raspberries 2142008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: Thanks! I'm hoping to get a neutral enough color that I can just move it to the living room/sun room when we're done having kids, because if I'm paying $800, I want to use it forever!</p> <p>@Ginabean3: Good to know... there aren't any Land of Nod stores around here, but maybe Crate and Barrel would have some? Part of the reason we're looking at them is because they're so small... our nursery is teeny tiny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2141958 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:58:22 +0000 Ginabean3 2141958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love how they look but I would say to go test them out if possible......I was about to get one and I found them to be narrow and shallow and not as comfy as they look. I guess it depends on what you're looking for! For reference I'm petite, 5"3 and 125lbs when not pregnant and I felt like it was too small for my liking. There's no way DH would be able to fit comfortably in one!</p> <p>ETA: we ordered this one from PBK and it's much more comfortable! <a href="http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/chareleston-convetible-rocker-warehouse-sale/?pkey=cfurniture-clearance-event&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.potterybarnkids.com/products/chareleston-convetible-rocker-warehouse-sale/?pkey=cfurniture-clearance-event&#038;amp</a>; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2141919 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:42:22 +0000 Amelieisme 2141919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one! I love it. I have the dylan and it has lasted us nearly 3 years/2 babies thus far with no signs of wear. When you get something on it, it wipes right off. They are pricey though so I still don't know if I'd do it again :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/land-of-nod-glider#post-2141905 Mon, 13 Apr 2015 10:35:47 +0000 raspberries 2141905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone bought a glider from Land of Nod? How's the quality? Anything I should know before throwing my money at them? :silly: </p> <p>They're having a 15% off all upholstery sale, and I've been eyeing up the Toby swivel glider in particular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978790 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:34:20 +0000 Mamaof2 1978790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$350 more for head support?</p> <p>I would pick the cheaper option!</p> <p>I never slept in the rocker - during the day I nursed on the couch and would sleep there with my LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978709 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:12:49 +0000 pui 1978709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>$350 <i>more</i>? That is a huge price difference to me. I guess it depends on how much more comfortable we're talking here, but I would try to make the cheaper one work, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978656 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:49:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1978656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on how much you think you will use it. I honestly didn't use my glider much. I hated being trapped in the nursery when lo was eating and I spent most of my time on the couch with him instead, where I could still talk to DH or watch tv. We also started "drowsy but awake" putting him to sleep from the beginning, so I never had the long hours rocking that some moms and dads experience. </p> <p>If I was going to invest a lot of money in something I would have bought a really great comfy rocking recliner for the living room instead, with a less expensive glider or rocker in the nursery for the middle of the night feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978640 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:46:54 +0000 cheert16 1978640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978634 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 12:44:46 +0000 MelisMc 1978634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, everyone.

I think $350 is a lot, at least for my family. If it isn't for yours then get the one you love. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978426 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:57:17 +0000 looch 1978426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dunno, I could think of a lot of other ways to spend $350, so jury is out for me, until we see some pictures! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978416 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:51:22 +0000 Greentea 1978416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to furniture I always get something that I love the most!

Especially for those MOTN feedings. Comfort is super important and worth the extra $$$! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978395 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:37:10 +0000 hilary 1978395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 2 years old, and we still use it every day to read books. It's just a comfortable chair and with twins on the way I see myself using it even more. Right now it's in a little flex space between the kids' rooms but someday we plan on putting it in the family room so hope to get many more years out of it. Head support is important since you will probably find yourself falling asleep in it. If you can afford the more expensive and it's less likely to give you a crick in the neck, totally worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978370 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:25:08 +0000 catomd00 1978370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and you don't nexessarily need to find one with a matching ottoman! We had a pouf custom made - functional and adds something fun to the room! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-comfort-vs-pricewhat-would-you-do#post-1978364 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:22:51 +0000 catomd00 1978364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it depends on what's important to the person who will be using it most. For me, aesthetics trumped comfort and price. My husband wanted comfortable but I knew he wouldn't be using it so I didn't concede to his ugly choice! We spend a fair amount of time in the glider and it's comfortable enough but definitely not the most nursing friendly. If you want comfortable go for comfortable! My advice is to imagine what it would be like nursing in it - arm rest, where babies head will be, if there's a place for you to rest your head... </p>
