They have several good options and I never would've checked there, do they carry any of them in store? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028673 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 17:01:48 +0000 winniebee 2028673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have something similar to #1 for DS1- it's a Flexsteel swivel glider. <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>We loved it so much that we got the same one in another color for DS2. I wanted something that we could repurpose for another room when the boys are older, which you really can't do with #2. You might also look at Best Chair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028667 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:56:05 +0000 marionberry 2028667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: Yes it is. They're a bit on the spendy side but much cheaper than PBK and others. Our chair was $625. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028588 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:04:56 +0000 Boopers 2028588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: we saw some different brands that were around $1000 and we quickly walked away from those :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028585 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:04:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2028585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: Thank you for the info! That's about the price we were thinking. I was afraid it was going to be 1,200 or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028584 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:03:07 +0000 Boopers 2028584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: it definitely was a huge splurge for us, but it's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. The model on the floor with piping was $589, but we ordered ours without piping and it was $539 without the coupon. After the coupon and taxes (Texas) we paid $467. We got it in a color that we hope will go with living room furniture when we are done using it with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028582 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:01:00 +0000 simplyfelicity 2028582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: Nice! Thanks! Ok, so are these chairs super expensive? My MIL offered to buy us a chair and I don't want to seem like I am taking advantage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028580 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:59:54 +0000 simplyfelicity 2028580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: Walmart of all places! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028579 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:59:12 +0000 Boopers 2028579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: you can sign up for email and mail coupons on their website. It takes 6-8 weeks for the Best chairs to come in once you order. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028574 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:52:58 +0000 jetsa 2028574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have #2 now.

How do you get a 20% off coupon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028571 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:50:26 +0000 Tidybee 2028571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a dutalier glider from BBB. I recommend sitting in them when you're good and round. I found that I had trouble getting up from the recliners and thought I'd have trouble doing so with a newborn. My glider is perfect...it rocks and glides. It was a nice small fit for our apartment and now for the smaller bedroom<br /> In our house which will be the nursery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028525 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 13:52:05 +0000 Boopers 2028525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: I got the same chair from Buy Buy Buy that @marionberry got. We used a 20% off coupon which saved us a lot of money! If you have a BBB around you I recommend looking around and using a coupon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028501 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 13:15:39 +0000 simplyfelicity 2028501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Is the one you ordered also from Best Chairs? If you don't mind my asking, how much are the recliners from Best Chair? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028483 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 12:51:04 +0000 Ash 2028483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: ours has a really deep seat (best chairs) so it was hard to get situated and it was really really hard to nurse in... And now that ds is 13 months old, it tips when we get out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028479 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 12:37:47 +0000 BSB 2028479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend has a recliner and I thought it was such a good idea but she said the recliner didn't give her as much support during breast feeding days. So she recommending getting a traditional glider or rocker. She uses the recliner for her oldest to have a comfy place to sit and read books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028431 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:24:36 +0000 LindsayInNY 2028431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ordered #3! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028430 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:23:55 +0000 simplyfelicity 2028430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! We are now looking into a rocking recliner...not the most beautiful but perfect for sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028412 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:04:39 +0000 hilsy85 2028412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just get something that you would be able to sleep in!!!

We are looking at a style like number one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028382 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 10:04:13 +0000 photojane 2028382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have something like #1, and I still love it 2 years later. Easy to rock, love the swivel, and very comfy. I don't like the look of #2, and I find gliders much easier to use than rockers (that's important in the middle of the night when you're exhausted!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028293 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 07:07:35 +0000 meredithNYC 2028293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a glider from West Elm this time around (didn't do a rocker or glider for first LO and regretted it). It's so comfy and I love that it fits in with our living room decor, as well. Because of fears about stains we went with a neutral grey in an easy to clean fabric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028280 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 05:59:08 +0000 Ash 2028280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a style like #1 and we both hate it. Looking at getting a recliner type rocker/glider this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028261 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:51:01 +0000 FannyMae 2028261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a lazyboy rocker recliner in a grey floral pattern. It suits our living room (which is where it is at the moment), but also matches the carpet and curtains in our bedrooms.</p> <p>love that it reclines when you want to get reaaal comfy (great for watching a movie) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028258 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 01:35:47 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2028258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We opted for a leather upholstered glider like #1, by Best, ordered through a local furniture store. We plan to move it into our office/library once we are done with it as nursery furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028240 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 00:13:32 +0000 Espion 2028240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dream glider would allow me to sleep comfortably sitting up.

I have to put a folded up blanket in the seat to make it more comfortable. So if I were to be buying another, I would go for something more like the 1st, or even just a rocking recliner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028224 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 23:30:30 +0000 Torchwood 2028224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read that the padding on the wooden rockers can wear out, and in nannying I've noticed that it definitely isn't as comfortable for me. We're going with something like #1. I considered a recliner, but I need to be able to put my feet up even when not reclining (my knees start to hurt really badly if I sit too long without my feet up), and when I was nannying for a family that had one it was hard to get up from it without waking the baby (if I had it reclined). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-type-of-glider-would-you-choose#post-2028205 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 23:11:41 +0000 marionberry 2028205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first was an upholstered swivel glider from Best Chairs. We loved the chair but wanted a new one for the twins that was wider and had a higher back to it. We ended up stumbling upon their recliners which also swivel and glide - I can't wait to be able to sleep in the chair with the babies if I need to. We picked the bilana (which isn't my favorite from a look standpoint but was wide enough for the twins) and I'm really excited for it to get here. </p>
