Lyra Rocking Chair FAQs

Is a nursing chair worth it for breastfeeding or bottle feeding?

A nursing chair is not essential, but a dedicated, supportive place to feed can make breastfeeding, bottle feeding and settling your baby more comfortable. Features such as a high back, cushioned armrests, gentle movement and an adjustable recline can be particularly useful during longer or overnight feeds.

What should I look for when buying a nursing chair?

Look for comfortable back and arm support, a smooth and stable movement, easy-to-clean fabric and a design that suits your available space. An electric recline can also make changing position easier, while practical features such as washable armrest covers and charging ports are useful for everyday life with a baby.

Is an electric nursing chair better than a manual recliner?

An electric nursing chair requires less physical effort to operate than a manual recliner. Lyra allows you to recline and return the chair to an upright position using electronic controls, without pulling a lever, pushing back against the chair or forcing a footrest closed.

What is the best nursing chair after a C-section?

There is no single chair that will be right for everyone following a C-section. However, an electric nursing chair can be a thoughtful choice because it removes the effort involved in operating a manual reclining mechanism. Lyra can be adjusted at the touch of a button, making it particularly considered for the early postnatal weeks. Always follow the advice of your maternity team or healthcare professional.

Is the Lyra a rocking chair, glider or recliner?

Lyra combines the benefits of an electric reclining nursing chair with a gentle gliding motion and smooth 360° swivel. This allows you to recline, glide and turn while feeding, soothing or settling your baby.

How does the Lyra Electric Nursing Chair recline?

Lyra uses a smooth, quiet electric mechanism controlled by buttons on the side of the chair. You can gradually adjust the recline, stop at your preferred position and return the chair to an upright seated position without operating a manual lever.

Is the Lyra Nursing Chair comfortable for long feeds?

Lyra has a supportive high back, deep cushioning and comfortably positioned armrests designed for feeding, soothing and spending longer periods in the chair. Its wing-back shape also provides a comfortable place to rest your head.

What is the Lyra Oat nursing chair fabric made from?

Does the Lyra Nursing Chair come with washable armrest covers?

Does the Lyra Electric Nursing Chair have USB charging ports?

Yes. Lyra has integrated USB and USB-C charging ports, allowing you to keep your phone and other compatible devices powered and within easy reach during feeds and quiet moments with your baby.

Can an electric nursing chair be used outside the nursery?
