What can small swivel rockers be used for?
Most people make use of small swivel rockers in very specific ways:
- Child Care - A small swivel rocker is great for childcare as it rocks a baby to sleep. In addition, a good unit paired with a nursing stool will provide a nursing mom all the support she needs while feeding a baby. A small swivel rocker doesn’t look much, but it helps a child and the mother relax and bond. If you are thinking of getting one for you or for a new mom, then get this type of chair that also has some cushions and the best back support.
- Stress and Pain Relief - According to myriads of studies including one conducted by University of Rochester, spending some time relaxing in a swivel rocker helps in releasing endorphins, which help manage and relieve pain while improving a person’s mood. The findings of the studies also proved that this type of seating is useful even for people dealing with chronic pain including those suffering from depression, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. If you’re thinking of getting a swivel rocker for pain relief, then make sure you prioritize comfort. Add fitted cushioning to get the maximum benefit.
- Socializing - The relaxing and soothing motions of this type of seating solution help people enjoy long, enjoyable talks on the porch or by the fireplace, rocking the hours away. It helps people speak face-to-face rather than through cell phones or computer screens, taking them back to the era wherein Wi-Fi was non-existent. If you have a vacation cabin, you can make a set of small swivel rockers as one of the amenities your cabin boasts of!
What's the best type of wood for a small swivel rocker?
If your new chair will be used indoors, then you probably want classy hardwoods. North American ash, teak, and cedar are very nice choices. They look just right by the fire, regardless of whether the swivel rocker is stained, finished, or painted with a smooth and clear lacquer for natural color preservation.
For outdoor use, you’d have to think about the chair’s durability. Although teak and cedar weather well, they do need extensive maintenance as they lose their rich color profile. A good material is synthetic resin wicker as it is virtually indestructible. It doesn’t require a lot of maintenance as well aside from wiping it down from time to time.
