Sunday Power Recliner and Swivel Glider

There are nursery chairs, and then there are chairs that happen to be in the nursery. The Sunday Power Recliner and Swivel Glider designed by Nursery Works belongs firmly in the second category. The oversized silhouette, hand-upholstered Chai Shearling fabric, and dark wood base give it the presence of a living room investment piece. The fact that it glides, swivels 270 degrees, and power-reclines at the push of a button is the practical story underneath.

For the long overnight feeds and the slow mornings and the story-time stretches, this is a chair designed to make those hours feel like something other than endurance. The plush cushioning and supportive backrest are built for an adult body spending real time in a real position. The USB-A/C charging port in the armrest keeps your phone alive through all of it. And at 57" fully reclined, you have a genuinely flat surface to settle into when the baby finally goes down.

GREENGUARD Gold certified, CertiPUR-US® certified foam, FSC® certified wood frame. No tools required for setup. The ottoman is sold separately — it's the Kiwi Gliding Ottoman, and it pairs well.

Best For / Not Ideal For

Best For

•       Parents who want a chair that functions as a genuine piece of furniture — the oversized silhouette, Shearling fabric, and dark wood base are designed to anchor a room, not recede into it

•       Those doing the overnight hours: the full power recline to 57", the glide, the 270-degree swivel, the USB charging port — all of it is designed for a parent who is actually spending time in this chair

•       NYC apartments where the nursery chair has to hold its own as room decor — a Nursery Works design is a different tier of aesthetic intentionality than standard nursery seating

•       Parents who want a wider, more oversized seat: at 22"W and 21.5"D, this is a roomier sit than many nursing chairs

•       Families prioritizing material safety: GREENGUARD Gold, CertiPUR-US® foam, FSC® certified wood — all three major certifications present

 

Not Ideal For

•       Very tight rooms: at 35.25"L × 35.5"W upright and 57" fully reclined, measure your clearance before purchasing — this is a larger-footprint chair than most nursing options

•       Tablet users: the USB-A/C port is rated for phones only; using it for a tablet can damage the motor and permanently disable the charging and reclining functions

•       Buyers expecting an ottoman included: the Kiwi Gliding Ottoman is sold separately

•       Those who prefer a stain-resistant or water-repellent fabric: the Chai Shearling upholstery is luxurious but not treated for spill resistance

•       Those who want more fabric options for a specific design aesthetic

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Nursery Works, and why does the design collaboration matter?

Nursery Works is a design studio known for elevated, considered nursery furniture that prioritizes aesthetics without sacrificing function. The Sunday is the result of that design sensibility applied to a nursing chair — which is why it has the proportions, materials, and visual weight of a proper piece of furniture rather than something that looks like it belongs in a waiting room.

How does the power recline work? Is it quiet?

The push-button control panel operates a smooth, quiet reclining mechanism that lowers the headrest and raises the footrest simultaneously. It's designed to operate without startling a sleeping baby.

Can I charge my tablet with the USB port?

No. The USB-A/C port is rated for small devices like phones only. Using it for a tablet or other large device can damage the motor and permanently disable both the charging and reclining functions. Use it for your phone.

How much clearance do I need behind the chair to recline?

The Sunday extends to 57" in length when fully reclined. In an NYC nursery, measure the clearance behind the chair before purchasing — you need enough room for the chair to extend fully without hitting a wall or other furniture. This is a larger-footprint chair than most, so it's worth confirming the floor plan works.

What is the weight limit?

300 lbs.

Is the Shearling fabric easy to clean?

The Shearling is a texture-rich, hand-upholstered fabric that prioritizes comfort and aesthetic. It is not water-repellent or stain-resistant in the way performance fabrics are. If spill resistance is your top priority, the Kiwi Glider's eco-performance fabric options may be a better fit. If material luxury and design presence are the priority, the Sunday delivers.

Note: Stock is in a constant flux. Some options may be 1 to 2 months or more out of stock. If you need the chair sooner than later, please call for updated stock levels.
