Comfortable seating for maternity, hospital and parent rooms
Novamed Breastfeeding Rocking Chair
Designed to support new mothers through one of life’s most important bonding experiences, the Novamed Breastfeeding Chair range by Novacorr delivers comfort, safety and functionality without compromise. Proudly made in Australia, these thoughtfully designed chairs cater to the diverse needs of maternity units, postnatal wards and parenting rooms, offering both non-electric and electric models. Each chair is upholstered in durable, easy-to-clean vinyl or premium Warwick fabric, available in a wide selection of colours including custom options to suit any environment.
The range includes three models: the Standard, the Wide and the Electric Breastfeeding Chair, each with specific features to meet different care requirements. From the gentle rocking motion of the Standard model to the spacious design of the Wide version, and the powered recline and optional wheels, Novacorr ensures every mother has the support she needs. With soft armrests, stable construction and a focus on user comfort, with optional backrests, the Novamed Breastfeeding Chair range reflects Novacorr’s commitment to quality, maternal care and Australian manufacturing.
The same qualities that suit a maternity unit have made the range a fit well beyond it. Special care nurseries and neonatal units use it for parents sitting for long periods beside a humidicrib. Aged care homes use it for residents who need supported seating through the day, including in dementia and memory support units. And the growing number of parent rooms being fitted out in airports, shopping centres, universities and public buildings need exactly what a ward needs: a chair that is comfortable enough to use and cleanable enough for the next person.

Why Novacorr
Novacorr proudly manufactures the NovaMed Breastfeeding Rocking Chair in Australia.
Designed for maternity, neonatal, hospital, aged care and clinical environments, the chair provides a supportive and comfortable seating solution for breastfeeding, bonding, recovery and extended seated care. It is also specified for the public parent rooms operated by airports, shopping centres, universities and councils.
Built with a strong steel frame and high quality clinical components, the chair is designed for daily use in demanding healthcare settings. The gentle rocking motion supports comfort and relaxation, while the recline function allows users to find a more restful position when required.
The chair is available in standard and wide sizing, with optional electric recline to suit different care environments and user needs. Supportive cushioning, including lumbar and head support, helps improve comfort during longer periods of use.
Finished in hospital grade vinyl or healthcare suitable upholstery, the NovaMed Breastfeeding Rocking Chair is easy to clean and suitable for infection control requirements. With durable construction, smooth functionality and a choice of colours, it offers a practical, comfortable and Australian made seating solution for maternity wards, breastfeeding rooms, recovery areas and care facilities.
Where the Novamed Breastfeeding Chair is used
Any space that provides seating for feeding, settling or extended sitting has the same two problems. The chair has to be comfortable enough that people actually use it, and it has to be cleanable enough that the next person can use it safely. The Novamed range is built for both.

Fitting out an airport or shopping centre parent room?
Public parent rooms carry a heavier and less predictable load than a ward. The chair is used by strangers back to back, cleaned by contract staff rather than clinical staff, and left unsupervised between uses. The Novamed range answers that with hospital grade vinyl that wipes down, a steel frame built for daily use in demanding healthcare settings, and no complex mechanisms on the Standard and Wide models to maintain or break.
Minimum order is five units, which suits multi-room and multi-site fitouts. Colours can be matched to your interior scheme.
Built for infection control
A feeding chair sits at the point where a cleaning regime is most likely to fail. It is soft, it is used for long periods, it is used by people who are recovering or immune compromised, and it is used with infants and newborns. Fabric that cannot be wiped, seams that trap fluid and frames that cannot be reached under all create the same problem.
Hospital grade vinyl. The chair is finished in hospital grade vinyl or healthcare suitable upholstery, selected so surfaces can be wiped down between users rather than laundered or removed.
Easy to clean surfaces. The chair is easy to clean and suitable for infection control requirements, which is what allows it to be used in maternity, hospital, aged care and clinical environments.
Durable steel frame. A strong steel frame with high quality clinical components, designed for daily use in demanding healthcare settings, so repeated cleaning does not degrade the chair.
Simple mechanisms. The Standard and Wide models use a non-electric rocking base with no complex mechanisms, which means fewer joints and cavities in high-use areas.
Colour choice for zoning. A wide range of vinyl colours, including custom options, so chairs can be colour coded by room, ward or cleaning zone if your facility works that way.

Product highlights
Key features of Breastfeeding Rocker Chair:
The Novamed Breastfeeding Chair range has been carefully designed to prioritise comfort, support and ease of use for mothers and carers alike. Each chair features soft armrests and a stable, ergonomic structure to encourage relaxed feeding and bonding. Upholstered in high-quality, easy-to-clean materials, with optional backrests, these chairs are ideal for high-use clinical environments. With both manual and electric options available, the range supports a variety of needs across maternity and postnatal settings.
Gentle Rocking Motion
The Standard and Wide Novamed Breastfeeding Chairs feature a smooth, non-electric rocking base that helps create a calm and soothing environment for both mother and baby. This gentle motion supports relaxation during feeding, promoting bonding and reducing physical strain. The sturdy base ensures controlled movement for added safety in clinical settings. Designed without complex mechanisms, it’s a low-maintenance solution perfect for high-use areas.
Spacious Comfort
The Wide model has been thoughtfully designed with an extended seat width to provide additional space and comfort for users. This makes it ideal for postnatal recovery, allowing mothers to shift positions with ease or accommodate a nurse or support person alongside them. The added room enhances usability in diverse clinical and residential care settings. Upholstery and cushioning have been selected to support long periods of seated comfort.
Electric Recline
The Electric Breastfeeding Chair features a whisper-quiet motor that allows users to adjust the backrest and leg position at the touch of a button. This model is perfect for mothers who require additional support when reclining or repositioning, especially post-surgery or during recovery. Optional rear wheels make it easier for staff to move the chair within rooms or wards without compromising stability. It combines accessibility, safety and comfort in a stylish, clinical-grade design.
