James: a Chair and a Half - Gliding Swivel Nursery Recliner
Handmade in the USA by Skilled Craftsmen
Our dual-motor — the James: a Chair & a Half Swivel Nursery Glider is designed to help you find your perfect position with personalized comfort and support. While the footrest is closed, you can enjoy a smooth gliding motion and independently adjust the backrest to your preferred recline angle with a plug-in motorized recline. A separate plug-in motorized motor controls the footrest, allowing you to customize your level of comfort and support. Once the footrest is engaged, the chair locks into place, providing a stable reclining experience and suspending the gliding motion.
Surrounded by plush cushioning and supportive pillows on all sides, the James creates a cozy retreat for feeding, relaxing, or soothing baby. As one of our widest and tallest chair designs, its extra-generous seat comfortably accommodates your growing toddler for story time, snuggles, and quiet moments together. Combining exceptional comfort, thoughtful functionality, and sophisticated style, the James is designed to support your family through every stage of parenthood!
Available in a wide variety of fabrics and colors. More details below.

Independent Back Recline + Separate Footrest Control
Experience customized comfort with our advanced dual-motor reclining system. Unlike traditional recliners that move as a single unit, this innovative design gives you independent control over both the backrest and footrest, allowing you to find your perfect position with ease.
One motor operates the backrest, letting you recline to your preferred angle while continuing to enjoy the chair's soothing gliding motion—a unique feature that provides relaxation without sacrificing movement. Whether you're feeding your baby, reading, or simply unwinding, you can comfortably lean back while maintaining a gentle glide.
A second motor independently adjusts the footrest, allowing you to elevate your legs to the exact height that feels best for you. This personalized control creates virtually endless seating positions, offering enhanced support, improved circulation, and all-day comfort.
The result is a truly tailored seating experience that adapts to your needs, providing the luxury of a nursery glider combined with the flexibility and comfort of a premium power recliner.
Extensive Fabric Selections
We want you to love your chair. This is why we highly recommend ordering fabric swatches, as digital devices and multiple light sources in photographs can alter color and perception of texture. Plus, your first 5 swatches ship free!

Our Favorite Features
MADE IN THE USA
Our frames are built by local craftsmen using high-quality, durable lumber for a sturdy foundation, ensuring long-lasting support and reliability. Each piece is then upholstered by hand with precision and care, using high-performance fabrics that are both stylish and offer a luxurious feel. All right here in the USA!
BACK RECLINE & SWIVEL FEATURE
The James with a plug-in smooth motorized back recline feature has a 180º swivel motion and parallel rocking motion that gently glides, even while the back is reclined, allowing you to easily turn toward anything you might need to reach.
Separate Footrest Control FEATURE
A second motor independently adjusts the footrest, allowing you to elevate your legs to the exact height that feels best for you. This personalized control creates virtually endless seating positions, offering enhanced support, improved circulation, and all-day comfort.
STAIN RESISTANT FABRIC
Our High Performance fabrics are one of our favorite fabric choices. They are water-resistant, so liquid will pool on the top, giving you time to hurry and soak up the spill before it soaks into the fibers.
WATCH TUTORIAL VIDEOWHAT ABOUT CUSHIONS?
We work really hard to make sure your cushions are made from the best possible material and don't slide out of place. Our cushions are filled with a non-absorbent, mildew-resistant polyester fiber that is lofty, lightweight, and soft. Thus giving you true comfort you can sink into, along with peace of mind.
WOOD BASE ADD-ON FEATURE
We love the look of our wood bases. It adds the perfect touch to our chairs so you can move this chair from your nursery, to master bedroom, or living room for a lifetime of use.
