The chair that holds you like a hug for postpartum

The chair that holds you like a hug for postpartum

Why the right support during postpartum is everything


Picture this:
it’s 3 am. The house is quiet. Your baby is finally asleep on your chest, and for a moment, it feels like the whole world has paused..
 

This? This is one of those moments - the ones you’ll never forget. But your back, neck and arms? They’ll remember it too. 

Your cot mattress supports your baby. Your chair should support you. And during postpartum, when your body is healing and you’re often running on not much more than love and caffeine, the right support can make all the difference.  

Have you considered the role of your chair during your postpartum experience? It’s time you met the Celeste Electric Nursery Chair - the chair that holds you like a hug.
 

So... why not just use the couch? 

It’s a fair question, especially when you’re budgeting for all the baby essentials. But here’s the thing: your couch wasn’t designed for postpartum comfort. A proper nursery chair is. 

Here’s what you might not realise until you’re in the thick of it: even getting up can feel like an Olympic sport, especially after a C-section. And reclining? Let’s just say if your couch needs a core workout to recline - or get back up from the reclined position... it’s not postpartum friendly. 

The right nursery chair isn’t a ‘splurge’. It’s a support system. 

Postpartum recovery: It’s real and it’s rough (sometimes) 

After giving birth, regardless of how, your body is doing some serious healing work. Basic movements like sitting, standing, shifting positions or even holding your baby can feel harder than expected. 

The Celeste’s smooth electric recline means you don’t have to heave, push or brace your core to adjust positions. One-touch operation means pure bliss. And if you’ve had a C-section? It’s a game-changer. Glide gently, adjust slowly, and move without strain. 

Because recovering from birth shouldn’t require a workout. 


The Celeste Electric Nursery Chair is designed with the postpartum experience in mind

Feeding? Posture matters more than you think 

Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, pumping (or doing all three), it adds up to hours in the same position. And if your chair doesn’t support you properly? You may experience things like neck and shoulder tension, wrist and back pain, or even pins and needles. 

The Celeste is ergonomically designed to support your feeding posture with: 

  • Plush, cloud-soft headrest

  • Supportive armrests at just the right height 

  • A lower-back cushion for those extra-long snuggle sessions 

  • Comfortable yet firm enough to offer proper back support  

Your comfort matters. And when you’re comfortable, everything else flows a little better - feeds, naps and even moods. 

More than a chair: It’s where parenthood happens 

In the early months, your nursery chair can become your second home. It’s there for midnight feeds and 3am resettles, colic stretches and teething tears, pumping marathons and sleepy snuggles, bedtime stories, napping, snacking, crying, scrolling, recharging... you name it! 

It's not just about function. It’s about having a place that holds you, while you hold your baby. The Celeste Electric Nursery Chair is exactly that. A sanctuary. A hug in a chair.

 
Designed with postpartum in mind, the Celeste has all the features you need (and didn't know you needed) to make those endless nights more comfortable

So... are nursery chairs really worth it? 

Not every parent will use one. But if you’re someone who’s about to spend hundreds (if not thousands) of hours feeding, settling, and holding your baby, you deserve a chair that holds you too. 

Postpartum is beautiful, raw, exhausting and deeply transformative. You don’t need to do it perched on the edge of a hard couch. 

Choose a chair that’s designed to support your body, your comfort, and your new rhythm of life. Choose the chair that holds you like a hug.
