Lyra Electric Recliner Nursing Chair Biscuit Boucle
A soft, durable, textured fabric made with tiny loops of yarn.
Timeless design, at home in both your nursery or living room
Gentle, infinite recline adjustment for customisable comfort
Comfort that asks less of you.
Designed for feeding, soothing and quiet moments together, the Gaia Baby Lyra Electric Nursing Chair combines intuitive movement with generous support, creating a comfortable place to care for your baby, day or night.
At the touch of a button, Lyra reclines smoothly and returns to an upright seated position without the need to pull a lever, push back against the chair or force a footrest closed. You can adjust your position gradually and quietly, even while holding your baby.
This ease of movement makes Lyra a particularly thoughtful choice during the early postnatal weeks, including following a caesarean birth, when you may want everyday movements to require less physical effort.
A gentle gliding motion and smooth 360° swivel help you move naturally through feeds and settling, while the supportive high back, deep cushioning and comfortably positioned armrests support your upper body during longer periods in the chair.
The soft, breathable Oat upholstery is made using recycled plastic, bringing together a tactile finish and a more considered use of materials. Removable, machine-washable armrest covers make everyday care easier, while integrated USB and USB-C ports keep your phone and other essentials conveniently within reach.
Finished with a real wood base and a clean, contemporary silhouette, Lyra is designed to feel at home beyond the nursery. From the earliest days with your baby to relaxed moments in your living space, it is a lasting piece created around comfort, ease and everyday family life.

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.
