Hilson Nursing Chair - Feather Sherpa

The BubsNest Verdict

The Hilston nursing chair from Mamas & Papas is a well-reviewed option that balances form and function. Parents appreciate its modern, non-institutional look and comfortable, ergonomic design, which many find supportive even after a C-section. However, some caution the chair is quite large and heavy, making it less suitable for smaller nurseries or frequent moving. Overall, it seems a great choice for those seeking a quality nursing chair that can transition to general living room use as their child grows.

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your nursery carefully to ensure the Hilston's size will work in the space.

Getting the Most Out of It

Consider using a nursing pillow for added back and arm support during feeds.

Second-hand Savvy

Check the fabric condition thoroughly if purchasing a used Hilston, as it may show wear over time.
