Alma Nursing Chair

The BubsNest Verdict

The Alma Nursing Chair earns praise for its plush, cocoon-like comfort and stylish, transitional design that works well beyond the nursery. Parents highlight the supportive armrests, rocking motion, and soft boucle fabric. However, some note the chair's bulk and weight can make it tricky to move, and the lack of a recline or swivel function. Overall, the Alma seems best suited for larger nurseries or living rooms where it can remain in one spot.

“Cosy, supportive nursing chair with a modern, versatile look”

7.6

Solid Choice

The Alma Nursing Chair earns praise for its plush, cocoon-like comfort and stylish, transitional design that works well beyond the nursery. Parents highlight the supportive armrests, rocking motion, and soft boucle fabric. However, some note the chair's bulk and weight can make it tricky to move, and the lack of a recline or swivel function. Overall, the Alma seems best suited for larger nurseries or living rooms where it can remain in one spot.

What parents love

Cosy, supportive comfortParents love the Alma's rounded, enveloping shape and plush, removable cushion for relaxed feeding and soothing.
Stylish, versatile designThe Alma's modern, boucle-upholstered look is seen as a great fit for both nurseries and other living spaces.
Optimum height armrestsThe chair's armrests are positioned at an ideal height for comfortable breastfeeding and cradling.

Worth knowing

Bulky, heavy designSome parents find the Alma's size and weight make it difficult to move around, especially in smaller nurseries.
Lack of recline or swivelA few parents wish the chair had a recline function or the ability to swivel, for more flexibility during feeding.
Expensive price pointAt £450, the Alma is one of the pricier nursing chairs on the market, which may be a barrier for some families.

Best for

  • Larger nurseries or living rooms with ample space
  • Parents seeking a stylish, transitional nursing chair

May not suit

  • Smaller nurseries with limited floor space
  • Those needing more adjustability, like recline or swivel

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your nursery or living room carefully to ensure the Alma's size will work in the space.

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the removable cushion to customise the chair's comfort level for your preferences.

Shopping Tip

Check for sales or bundle deals to help offset the Alma's premium price tag.
