What's a Glider Rocker?


Just like the name sounds, rocker gliders do just what they say: rock and glide. The "gliding" motion is what makes a glider rocker different from traditional rocker recliners. A glider rocker contains a stationary support, which allows the chair its back and forth glide. Unlike rocking chairs, the gliding motion is more front to back (horizontal) than up and down (vertical).

So What Is So Great About a Rocker Glider?
Rocker gliders:

  • have a smooth motion
  • are soothing and relaxing
  • are great for the indoors or outdoors
  • are great for parents or expecting parents

Inside Voice
Rocker gliders come in all styles, sizes, and colors. The basic frame of an indoor glider rocker is made out of wood, such as oak, maple or pine, and the upholstery on the seat and back cushions comes in different fabrics, fibers and textures. Rocker gliders make an excellent addition to your living room, bedroom, or nursery. You can even add a glider ottoman for ultimate comfort!

Let it All Out
Rocker gliders are equally popular outdoors. These glider rockers are made out of dark wood, light wood, or metal, and can contain all-weather seat cushions. These weather-resistant glider rockers are long lasting and durable. One-person or two-person gliders can make a great addition to your backyard or patio.
