We have an extra couch that's in the office which will be a nursery in the future, but not sure it'll be comfy or not for future intended uses with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-431031 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:29:30 +0000 Smurfette 431031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: This is the chair that we went with too. We didn't get the ottoman though. We went with a tan/linen fabric. We just ordered it on Sat, said will be here in 8-12 weeks. But it was by far the most comfy one that we sat in while looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-431018 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:23:51 +0000 GrapeCrush 431018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: oh it is! i sat in like two gliders and was "no! i want a recliner" lol trust me, we are very thankful we got it haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430996 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:16:42 +0000 ladyfingers 430996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a glider from Best Chairs and LOVE it. I haven't spent too much time in it yet because LO is still on the way, but it was by far the most comfortable one out of any of them. I sat in some of the more "stylish" gliders at Buy Buy Baby and they were all either so hard or too shallow seat-wise. This is not the upholstery we got -- we got the navy with white piping -- but this is the chair we have and we have a matching ottoman. If you have a Buy Buy Baby near you I'd recommend going there, they have a very extensive selection.</p> <p><a href="http://www.besthf.com/best/Furniture/Chairs/Swivel-Glide/KAMILLA" rel="nofollow">http://www.besthf.com/best/Furniture/Chairs/Swivel-Glide/KAMILLA</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430953 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 11:02:27 +0000 Alivoo01 430953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarbear: A recliner sounds super comfy and plush. I think of a Lazy Boy when I hear recliner. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430897 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:45:29 +0000 lavender 430897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a chair from Ikea (poang), we had it before LO was born and just moved it up to her room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430725 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 10:00:45 +0000 GrapeCrush 430725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we also went with a non-baby 'glider' like @winniebee. we use a recliner in his room. it's much more comfortable for nights when he won't sleep unless we are holding him(mainly when he's sick/teething). and we got it in black(i know! not a nursery color, but it goes, i swear! lol) so when he's done with it, it'll go with the rest of our furniture </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430663 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:35:50 +0000 CibMomma 430663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the track arm glider from RH Baby and Child. I got white linen, but they just came out with grey. It's high back, comfortable, but a little more than your $500 target. I couldn't find much in the $500 range. It was either $250 range or closer to $1k. But wait for a 20% off sale, prob after Christmas they'll have one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430619 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 09:11:49 +0000 winniebee 430619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went with a non-baby glider and love it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flexsteel.com/home-furniture/products/chairs-and-ottomans/accent-chairs/sku/022C-13" rel="nofollow">http://www.flexsteel.com/home-furniture/products/chairs-and-ottomans/accent-chairs/sku/022C-13</a></p> <p>Comes in many man colors and was about 500. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430587 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 08:43:14 +0000 heartonastring 430587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking at this one in grey. It's reasonably priced, gets good reviews and comes in a charcoal-ish colour: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/little-castle-charleston-swivel-glider-collection/-/A-14236372" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/little-castle-charleston-swivel-glider-collection/-/A-14236372</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430466 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:48:10 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 430466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: Just looked it up and it's exactly the same design as the Luca glider, although Luca is 950 or so. Thanks : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430465 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:47:04 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 430465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I'll pay more if I have to...I just want something I'll love. I'll have to look at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430422 Tue, 04 Dec 2012 00:20:57 +0000 birdofafeather 430422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hm, mine was pricier, but I got the graham glider from west elm. Waited for a sale and ordered it from the store so I didn't pay for shipping. LO isn't here yet but I sit in it all the time and love it thus far. You'll need an ottoman of some sort, since I'm short too and my feet need something to rest on. But otherwise, it fulfills most of your requirements! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430193 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:03:34 +0000 aprk 430193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered the Sona Glider from Best Chairs. It's not the most stylish piece, but from what I've heard and tried, it's the most comfy. Definitely tall enough to lean back and fall asleep in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430189 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 21:02:37 +0000 MamaBehr 430189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a "Best Chair" and I love it! It even leans back so you can put your feet up (perfect for sleeping in!) This is a link to what I think is my exact chair at my local furniture shop, and the upholstery options are endless. <a href="http://www.babys1st.com/products.php?idprod=342&#038;idcat=142" rel="nofollow">http://www.babys1st.com/products.php?idprod=342&#038;idcat=142</a></p> <p>I highly recommend trying the "Best Chair" brand.... :) Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/glider-advice#post-430175 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 20:54:50 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 430175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done tons of research and cannot decide on a glider.</p> <p>My priorities are:<br /> 1) super comfortable<br /> 2) high back (can rest your head) - I'm only 5'4<br /> 3) charcoal color<br /> 4) around $500</p> <p>Most reviews are not good for any glider. I've sat in the ones at my nearest BRU and Pottery Barn and am not satisfied yet.</p> <p>Some specific gliders I've looked into are the Luca Glider and Babyletto. I'd consider the chair type too, but would prefer an upholstered one.</p> <p>Please give me the good and the bad on your glider! </p>
