In most nurseries there is one chair that only ever gets used with both hands already full — a bottle in one, a baby in the other. The Ava Boucle Rocking Armchair - Light Grey is light grey bouclé with the loops of the weave showing along the arms, on a base that moves when you do.

The clear width between the arms is 45.5cm, and that figure decides what comes into the chair with you rather than whether you fit. A feeding pillow or a folded duvet wider than that rides up onto the arms instead of dropping into your lap, holding whatever is on it a hand higher than you meant. An hour of that is an hour your shoulders do the work.

A footstool and a rocker cancel out: your feet on the stool are what stops the chair moving. The Emma Boucle Armchair with Ottoman - White is the same bouclé, standing still, stool included.
