I did up until my overgrown cat jumped on it.

I've always loved rocking chairs and swings...very soothing. Ironically I was just thinking the other day what I wouldn't give if I could afford another one.

Can't seem to keep still in a solid chair or couch.

I feel sorry for you if the cat had done that to you.... You know when the cat sleeps, try and sneak on it

Does she actually sleep on it ?

No but she loved pushing with her paws once she'd land on it and then using it as a scratching post.

Broke the part that supports your back by tipping it over and falling through it.

That was the end of my chair....

I wish i had an adult size swing. Something about having my legs off the earth is just so relaxing.

Rock, roll, swivel, glide, swing!! topic

Been aware of doing this for fifty two of my fifty five years, on swings, rockers, gliders, teeter totters (see-saws), hammocks, and computer chairs.

In elementary school, that was why I loved recess so much. I would just run to get on the swing. I just don't have a rocking chair because I don't have room for one. I settle for using the swivel chair, though. :lol:

I only have a rolly desk chair in my room and a camping chair on the deck.I am renting a room and I dont think my landlady want a swing put on her deck or a rocking chair in her living room...I do like to sit in the recliner though with a warm cup of hot apple cider or tea or coffee or hot chocolate on a cold winter day and listen to my iPod or watch dvds on my little dvd player.

As a child I would spend entire summer afternoons on the swing. Now I have a rocking chair.

I grew up with rocking chairs, but haven't found one yet as an adult that's 1. cheap and secondhand yet 2. has decent lower back support.

My mum had one and I loved the damn thing! I always went in and kept rocking on it for whole mornings while the whole family was in the room.

Unfortunately she's now sold it

I couldn't survive without a rocker/recliner. It sucks too because I'm a big guy 6'6" and wear them out. When I was a kid, I loved swinging, but haven't been on a swing in many, many years. My mom used to think my love of rocking came from when I was a baby. She said she rocked me a lot. The best motion is a boat on the water however. My dad's friend has a big fishing boat with a small cabin. We'd be out on the ocean fishing and if I got tired or started feeling sea sick, I'd go lay down on the small bed. When I'm laying on my back, I don't get or feel sea sick anymore and the motion of the boat rocking is heavenly.

I'd like one, but I don't have enough room. The "SVÄVA" one from IKEA looks nice.

Do they actually sell them in IKEA the adult versions of one?
