Papasan Rocking Chair

Antique white corduroy papasan rocking chair with a solid wood base, someone reading in it
Solarie — Living Room

No Armrests. Just 41 Inches Of Cushion And A Gentle Rock.

Armrests are the reason you cannot sit sideways in most chairs. This one has none — so you can sit cross-legged, curl into one side, or stretch out with a dog across your knees, on a 6.7-inch corduroy cushion that rocks quietly on a solid wood base.

  • Armless and 41.3 in wide — sit any way you like
  • 6.7 in thick bubble corduroy cushion, soft but springy
  • Solid wood rockers with non-slip silent pads
  • Two-part assembly in 15–30 minutes

Why armless matters

Nobody Actually Sits The Way Chairs Are Designed

People sit sideways, cross-legged, with a leg tucked under, or curled into a corner with a book. Armrests stop all of that — they pin your legs and decide the one position you are allowed. Take them away and give the cushion a bit of width, and the chair stops arguing with how you want to sit.

41.3 Inches, And No Arms In The Way

The cushion runs the full 41.3 inches with nothing interrupting it, so the whole width is seat. Sit cross-legged, curl into one end, or share it with a dog that has decided the chair is theirs now.

A Cushion With Some Push-Back

The cover is a 3D bubble corduroy — soft and warm to the touch, with a texture that catches the light rather than looking flat. Underneath it is 6.7 inches of resilient fill that sinks when you drop into it and comes back up afterwards instead of staying dented.

The deep cushioned backrest and the curved solid wood rocker base

Solid Wood That Rocks Quietly

The base is solid wood with curved runners and non-slip pads on the underside, so it moves smoothly and quietly and does not skid or scuff a hardwood floor. The curve is shaped to keep the rocking gentle and to resist tipping back too far.

The chair used for working, reading, gaming and napping

One Chair, Several Jobs

It is low and wide enough to work from with a laptop on your knees, deep enough to read in for an hour, and soft enough that people fall asleep in it. In a small flat it does the work of a reading chair, a spare seat and a nap spot without taking the floor space of three.

Parts laid out and the assembly steps, from rocker base to finished chair

Two Parts, 15 To 30 Minutes

  1. Join the rocker base to the side frames with the fixings in the box.
  2. Lay in the support sling and line it up along the rails.
  3. Drop the cushion on and sit down. It arrives as one piece — there is nothing to stuff or inflate.

Everything you need is in the box, including the instructions. A second pair of hands makes the frame stage quicker but is not required.

Super comfy reading chair!

I ordered the cream white version and it looks great in my living room. Assembly was pretty straightforward, just attaching the wooden rocker legs to the base. The fabric is really soft and it's wide enough to curl up in with a book. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect for the nursery

We got the green one for our baby's nursery and it's perfect. The rocking motion is smooth, and the chair sits low enough that getting in and out is easy. The cushion is thick and supportive for late-night feeds.

My cat's new favourite spot

Honestly, I barely get to sit in this because my cat has claimed it. The textured fabric seems to be very appealing to him. When I do get a turn, it's incredibly comfortable. The width is great for lounging.

Sturdy and stylish

The chair feels very solid once put together. The wooden frame is a nice light colour that matches our Scandinavian decor. It's wider than a standard rocker, which makes it feel more like a lounge chair. Great value for the price.

Exactly as pictured

The colour of the green chair is exactly what I was hoping for — a nice, earthy olive. It arrived well packaged in a large box and took me about 30 minutes to assemble on my own. It's my new favourite spot to watch TV.

A very relaxing seat

This chair has a really nice lean to it — perfect for kicking back and relaxing. The bumpy texture of the fabric is actually quite nice and doesn't feel rough at all. The wooden legs have strips on the bottom so they don't scratch the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much space does it need?

38.6 inches deep by 27.8 inches wide, and 43.3 inches front to back once you count the rockers. Leave a few inches of clearance behind it so it can rock freely.

Will it mark or scuff my floor?

The rockers have non-slip silent pads on the underside, which is what keeps it from squeaking or sliding on hard floors. On a very soft finish, a thin rug underneath is still sensible.

How low is the seat?

12.6 inches off the floor — deliberately low and lounge-like rather than upright dining height, which is what gives you room to sit cross-legged.

How hard is it to put together?

Two parts and 15 to 30 minutes: join the rocker base to the side frames, lay in the support sling, drop the cushion on. Fixings and instructions are in the box.

Can the cushion be cleaned?

Spot clean it with a soft damp cloth. The corduroy is wear-resistant, so marks lift without needing to soak the fabric.

Can I use it outdoors?

It is built for indoor use — a covered balcony is fine in dry weather, but leaving a wood frame and a fabric cushion out in rain will ruin both.

Shipping and returns?

Free shipping. If it is not right you have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund — e-mail support@solarie.shop and we will sort it out.

Sit However You Actually Sit

Armless, wide, deep, and it rocks without making a sound.
