What to Look Out For When Shopping for Chairs While Pregnant

Before we get into our list of chairs, there are some important factors to consider while shopping for chairs while pregnant.

Firstly, one of the main factors is making sure the size and dimensions of the chair match your unique body shape and height. Although it is important for everyone, it is especially important for those who are pregnant to ensure your furniture complements your body type.

Magaly notes the best way to see if a furniture frame compliments you is if your feet are touching the floor and that your legs are at a 90-degree angle. “That way, you know that your furniture frame isn’t too small or too big,” she says.

Since this article mostly focuses on recliners, you might find our article, How to Find a Recliner That is The Best Fit For You, helpful as well.

She also notes that the right recliner or chair helps determine if you have the right headrest and lumbar support. 

If you feel uncomfortable when sitting on your furniture, it might be because you might not have the proper support. “Making sure that your lower back is supported when your pregnant is key,” Magaly says.

Because of this, you might also consider upgrading your chosen recliner to include an Adjustable Headrest & Lumbar Support if your recliner is a Power Recliner.

Lastly, if you plan to add this new furniture piece to a nursery or use it when your baby is born, there are bound to be accidents that occur. These accidents may include situations like spitting up or uncontrollable bladders. 

If you’re worried about your furniture staining, consider Leather Furniture or specialty fabrics like iClean or Pet-Friendly Fabrics. These upholstery covers are easy to clean and do not permanently stain your furniture. 

With leather specifically, your furniture also has the added bonus of lasting five times longer than fabric furniture. If you’re interested in a comparison between Fabric vs Leather furniture, take a look at this article.

 

Top 8 Chairs for Pregnant Women at La-Z-Boy Ottawa & Kingston

Now that you know what to look for, here is our list of stationary and reclining chairs best suitable for those who are pregnant. These furniture items are listed in no particular order.

 


1. The Addison Recliner

The first furniture piece mentioned by Magaly as a “must have for any pregnant woman,” is the Addison Recliner.

Addison recliner

The Addison Recliner, specifically the rocker and the glider, features clean lines, rolled arms and welt trim for that extra flair of contrast. 

This chair has a more traditional look than the other chairs mentioned below, but with the enhancement of being a recliner. Magaly also notes that the added swivel base to the glider or rocker is a great addition if you’re looking for that extra range in motion.

It is also great for those who are not very tall, particularly individuals between the heights of 5’3” and under.

The Addison Rocking Recliner is also available in power, which might be more beneficial for pregnant women who may want to use less energy.

The Addison is also available as a wall recliner. You can learn more about the Addison Recliner by checking out this article.

 


2. The Finley Recliner

Next on our list is the Finley Recliner, which is considered to be a La-Z-Boy Best-Selling Recliner for 2022.

Finley ReclinerShown with a Modern style, the Finley rocker or gliding recliner is perfect for any pregnant woman who’s looking for a sleek look. The Finley also features sleek track arms and a tall foam back that emphasizes its neat and structured design.

What’s more, the plushy chaise seat and legrest help cradle your body in a continuous zone of comfort.

Magaly also notes that the Finley is more narrow than other recliners, which means it can be perfect for a Smaller Space.

The Finley Rocking Recliner can also be upgraded to include power, as well as an adjustable headrest & lumbar support.

The Finley is also available as a wall recliner, a wall reclining loveseat, and a wall reclining sofa. You can learn more about the Finley Furniture Family by checking out this article.

 


3. The Rowan Recliner

With an exquisite combination of style and comfort, it comes as no surprise for the Rowan to be added to this list. The Rowan is another furniture piece that includes both a Rocking and Gliding Recliner, which can also include a swivel base if requested.

S85g_ROWAN_010-765_LB174654 (2)The Rowan Recliner features unique symmetrical arms and back cushions that stretch outward, giving a welcoming appearance for those needing to relax. “It’s like it’s giving you a big hug when you sit down,” says Magaly.

With these features, the flared arms help maximize the seating area of your recliner, while the back cushion offers a padded headrest and lumbar for seemingly instant muscle stress relief.

The Rowan Rocking Recliner can also be upgraded to include power, as well as an adjustable headrest & lumbar support.

The Rowan is also available as a wall recliner.

 


4. The Ferndale Chair

Our first stationary option on this list, the Ferndale Chair, is a stylish and comfortable chair that is a convenient addition to any home.

Ferndale ChairWhile the Ferndale can be stationary, it is also known to have the option to swivel, glide, and include a matching ottoman. Magaly notes that any of these options are perfect for those who are pregnant due to the range in motion, like the previous selections, or because of the matching ottoman.

“If you’re not a fan of the swivel or gliding options you can just kick your feet up with the ottoman instead,” she says. Since the Ferndale Ottoman is large, it can also be used as an extra seating space if you run out of seating options.

The Ferndale Swivel Chair can also have the option to combine a swivel gliding chair for those looking for more movement in their chairs.

5.  The Leah Chair

Another unique furniture item on our list is the Leah Stationary Chair, which not only acts as a stationary piece but also as a twin sleeper bed.

Laurel Sleep ChairWith its sleek profile, the Leah Twin Sleep Chair is perfect for anyone looking to turn their living room into a temporary guest room. The Leah also features curved rolled arms, welt trim, and  La-Z-Boy’s Supreme Comfort quilted innerspring mattress that measures 5.5” in thickness.

 

Since the twin sleeper chair is small, Magaly says that this chair might also be good for your baby as they get older when they want to invite friends over for sleepovers. “Since the chair is gonna last a long time, might as well take advantage of it as your child ages,” she says.

The Leah is also available as a full or queen sleep sofa. You can learn more about the Leah Twin Sleep Chair by checking out this article.

6. The Liam Recliner

If you’ve enjoyed the framing of the Finley and the comfiness of the Rowan, you might also find the Liam Recliner enticing as well. The Liam Recliner is, according to Magaly, the perfect in-between of The Rowan and the Finley mixed into one furniture frame.

Liam reclinerShowcasing perfect harmony between comfort and style, the Liam features a shorter back than the Finley, an inviting chaise seat like the Rowan, and a smooth and graceful motion on the rocking and gliding recliners.

The Lumbar support is also more pronounced in this recliner, making this a unique feature that might stand out from the Finley and the Rowan. After all, lower lumbar support is important when referring to pregnancy.

The Liam Rocking Recliner can also be upgraded to include power, as well as an adjustable headrest & lumbar support.

The Liam is also available as a wall recliner, a wall reclining loveseat, and a wall reclining sofa. You can learn more about the Liam Furniture Family by checking out this article.

Another choice for smaller users looking to recline is the Casey Recliner, which suits those between the heights of 5’3” and under perfectly.

Casey ReclinerThe Casey combines a contemporary style with classic reclining comfort. It features clean, modern lines, making it also ideal for smaller spaces and contemporary decor. 

The Casey also features a multichambered back and gently rounded arms that “hold your body comfortably without feeling too big or bulky like other recliners,” according to Magaly.

The Casey Rocking Recliner can also be upgraded to include power.

The Casey is also available as a wall recliner. You can learn more about the Casey Recliner by checking out this article.

 


8. The Morrison Recliner

Last but not least is a recliner that contrasts the smaller recliners in a Big way. If you’re looking for big recliners that are both plush and durable, you might enjoy the Morrison recliner.

Morrison ReclinerWhile known to be one of our Best-Selling Power Recliners, the Morrison is a family favourite that’s designed to keep you comfortable for a long period of time. This is especially good for those who are pregnant if you’re advised not to move around too much.
