Obaby Madison Manual Recliner Chair

The BubsNest Verdict

This glider looks gorgeous and assembles easily, but you'll need to put some muscle into getting it to recline fully. Perfect for average-height parents who want a stylish nursing chair that swivels smoothly; skip it if you're tall (you'll feel cramped) or need something that wipes clean easily.

⚠️The boucle fabric is a magnet for spit-up stains and extremely difficult to clean, so consider whether you're willing to deal with permanent marks or invest in a washable cover.

BubsNest expert analysis of 3 parenting forum discussions

“Stylish, swivelling, gliding, and reclining nursing chair”

7.8

Solid Choice

Parents appreciate the Obaby Madison's sleek, neutral design that complements various nursery styles. They highlight its smooth 360-degree swivel, gliding motion, and recline function as very useful features for comfortable feeding and bonding. A few note the recline can be stiff to operate, and the chair's size and weight make it less portable. Overall, it's seen as a high-quality, versatile nursing chair well-suited for most homes.

What parents love

Stylish designThe chair comes in a range of neutral, on-trend fabrics that blend seamlessly into different nursery aesthetics.
Swivel, glide, and reclineParents love the chair's ability to swivel, glide, and recline, making it easy to get comfortable during feeds and soothing baby.
Easy assemblySetting up the chair is straightforward, with just two main pieces to connect.

Worth knowing

Recline can be stiffSome parents report needing to put significant effort into reclining the chair, which could be difficult for some.
Size and weightThe chair's large size and substantial 42kg weight make it less portable and harder to move around the nursery.
Expensive price pointAt nearly £500, the Obaby Madison is one of the pricier nursing chair options on the market.

Best for

  • Larger nurseries with ample space
  • Parents seeking a high-quality, stylish nursing chair for long-term use

May not suit

  • Families with limited nursery space or who need to frequently move the chair
  • Budgets under £400

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Measure your nursery carefully to ensure the chair's sizeable dimensions will fit comfortably.

Getting the Most Out of It

Consider adding a small footstool or ottoman to further enhance the chair's recline and comfort.

Shopping Tip

Check for sales and discounts, as the RRP of nearly £500 may be out of reach for some budgets.
