Hilston Nursing Chair & Stool Set - Silver

The BubsNest Verdict

The Hilston nursing chair and footstool set from Mamas & Papas is a well-reviewed option that parents find both comfortable and attractive. Many appreciate its modern, non-institutional look that can work in living rooms beyond the nursery. However, some caution the chair is quite large and heavy, making it less ideal for small spaces or frequent moving. Overall, it seems a solid choice for those seeking a dedicated nursing spot, especially if size and portability aren't top priorities.

“A stylish and comfortable nursing chair that works for non-parents too”

7.6

Solid Choice

The Hilston nursing chair and footstool set from Mamas & Papas is a well-reviewed option that parents find both comfortable and attractive. Many appreciate its modern, non-institutional look that can work in living rooms beyond the nursery. However, some caution the chair is quite large and heavy, making it less ideal for small spaces or frequent moving. Overall, it seems a solid choice for those seeking a dedicated nursing spot, especially if size and portability aren't top priorities.

What parents love

Stylish designParents praise the Hilston's modern, non-clinical appearance, saying it looks great in living rooms rather than feeling out of place.
Comfortable seatingThe ergonomic shape and padded cushions provide good back and leg support during long feeding sessions, with the rocking motion helping soothe babies.
Versatile useWhile marketed as a nursing chair, many non-parents also find the Hilston comfortable for general relaxation and even occasional napping.

Worth knowing

Large sizeSeveral parents caution the Hilston is quite bulky and heavy, making it less ideal for small nurseries or homes where the chair needs to be moved frequently.
Expensive priceAt nearly £800 for the chair and footstool set, some feel the Hilston is an investment purchase, though most consider the quality justifies the cost.
Limited mobilityThe lack of wheels or swivel makes the Hilston less flexible for positioning during feeds compared to some glider-style nursing chairs.

Best for

  • Spacious nurseries or living rooms
  • Parents seeking a stylish, dedicated nursing spot
  • Families who don't need to frequently move the chair

May not suit

  • Small nurseries or homes with limited space
  • Parents who want a highly mobile nursing chair

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your space carefully to ensure the Hilston's large size will fit comfortably.

Shopping Tip

Consider buying the chair and footstool separately if the full set is out of budget.

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the footstool to prop up tired legs during long feeding sessions.
