Shop Affordable Rocking Chairs

Our range of cheap rocking chairs covers three distinct styles suited to different rooms and uses, from nursing rocking chairs with built-in footrests to lounge-style recliners with a gentle rocking motion and curved accent chairs designed around aesthetics as much as comfort. Our cheap rocking chairs are available in fabric, velvet, bouclé, linen and corduroy upholstery across a spread of neutral and statement colours, with bentwood and timber frame options throughout the range. Whether you need a dedicated nursing chair for a nursery setup or a relaxed reading chair for a living room corner, the collection covers both. For a broader look at seated furniture options, explore our armchairs range, or browse our accent chairs collection for curved and statement styles alongside the rocking chair range.

Nursing chairs, lounge recliners and accent rockers: the types in our range

Our rocking chairs span three main styles, and knowing which one suits your intended use helps narrow the choice considerably. Nursing rocking chairs are designed around sustained sitting during feeding, with a smooth and consistent rocking arc, padded armrests at a height suited to holding a baby, and in many cases a matching footstool to support the legs during longer sessions. Lounge-style rocking recliners offer a broader seat and a more adjustable back position, making them a comfortable choice for reading, casual television watching or daily lounging well beyond nursery use. Accent rocking chairs take a more design-led approach, with curved silhouettes and statement upholstery that prioritise how the chair looks in the room alongside how it sits. For fixed seating with a similarly supportive profile, our recliner chairs offer a useful comparison, and our high back armchairs collection covers structured seating with a taller back profile for those who want upper back support without the rocking motion.

Upholstery and frame: what the materials mean for everyday use

The upholstery on a rocking chair determines both comfort and how well the piece holds up over time. Fabric options such as linen and corduroy are breathable and suit cooler rooms or households where a casual, textured look is the priority. Velvet and bouclé upholstery adds a more refined appearance but benefits from regular brushing and is less forgiving of spills, making it better suited to lower-traffic rooms or households without young children and pets. The frame material shapes how the chair moves: bentwood frames produce a fluid, consistent arc that suits the rhythmic motion of a nursing chair, while heavier upholstered frames with a timber or metal base feel more grounded and are better suited to relaxed lounging. Pairing the chair with a complementary textile underfoot helps anchor the piece within the room, and our rugs range covers a broad selection of textures and sizes to work alongside a rocking chair. For those deciding between a velvet rocking chair and a fixed option with the same upholstery, our velvet armchairs collection is a helpful point of comparison.

Nursery vs living room: how the intended use shapes the right choice

A nursing rocking chair and a living room rocking chair serve different purposes, and that distinction shapes what to prioritise. For a nursery, the rocking motion should be smooth and quiet, the seat height should allow both feet to rest flat on the floor during feeding, and a footstool adds meaningful support for longer overnight sessions. For a living room, the visual fit with existing furniture matters alongside comfort: the chair colour, frame material and silhouette all need to work within the broader aesthetic of the room rather than functioning in isolation. A side table positioned within easy reach adds useful utility in both contexts, keeping a drink, book or phone accessible without leaving the chair. For living rooms where a second relaxed seating option is also needed, our papasan chairs offer a casual alternative silhouette that pairs well alongside a rocking chair without duplicating the same form.

Colour, scale and fitting the chair to the room

Rocking chairs occupy more visual space than a standard fixed armchair because the arc of motion requires clear floor space at the front and back of the base, which means colour and scale relative to the room need more thought than with stationary pieces. Darker upholstery in charcoal, black or grey tends to anchor the chair in a larger room and creates a more deliberate focal point, while lighter tones in beige, white and linen work better in smaller or brighter spaces where keeping the room feeling open is the priority. For a cohesive look across the whole space, our living room furniture range gives a useful reference for building surrounding pieces around the chair rather than selecting them separately. If a footstool is not already included with the model you choose, our ottoman range covers standalone options that pair with most chair styles to add foot support and complete the seated arrangement.

Which rocking chair style best suits the way you want to relax at home?

Start by choosing the chair style that matches how you plan to use it. This page shows nursery-style rocking chairs with footrests, wingback-inspired designs, and simpler upholstered rocking chairs in several colours. A chair with a matching footrest can feel better for longer lounging, while a more compact design may suit a smaller corner or reading space.

What should you measure before choosing a rocking chair for your room?

Measure the floor area first, then compare the overall width, depth, and height on the product page so the chair fits comfortably without crowding nearby furniture. It is also important to allow extra space for the rocking motion, especially at the front and back, so the chair can move freely in everyday use.

What are the most useful details to compare between rocking chair listings before you buy?

Focus on the chair shape, upholstery style, and whether a footrest is included. This range shows charcoal, beige, white, blue, green, and pink options, along with both softer lounge-style silhouettes and more structured wingback looks. Those visible differences can affect comfort, support, and how easily the chair fits into the room you are styling.

What should you keep in mind for comfort, daily use, and assembly?

Think about how you are most likely to use the rocking chair and how much support you want during longer sitting sessions. A higher back, padded arms, and a footrest add comfort for reading, feeding, or relaxing, and it is worth checking the rocking arc suits the space around the chair before buying. Most rocking chairs arrive flat packed with instructions and hardware included, and two people makes assembly easier for keeping the frame aligned. If you'd rather have it put together properly from the start, our partnership with Airtasker makes finding a local tradie to handle it simple.
