There are many reasons as to why we think the Naomi Home Odelia Swivel Glider Rocker Recliner is the best all-in-one glider amongst the many strong competitors in the market.
As you can probably tell from its name, this glider here does it all - it swivels, glides, rocks and reclines.

What We Love
First of all, it is of course its multi-functionality that we love about this chair.
Full Range Motion
Aside from the usual forward and backward gliding motion, the Naomi Home Odelia swivels, rocks and wait for it - reclines.
There isn't many glider recliner in the market that does this (this being another excellent option) because usually, they either glide (or swivel at most) or they recline only.
However, this one here allows you to recline up to 135 degree backwards so you won't be restricted to just one position, and therefore maximise your comfort level.
Which is really a great feat because more often than not, you will be spending quite a considerable amount of time in it, be it breastfeeding or rocking your little one to sleep.
Having the option of laying at a comfortable position therefore really makes all the difference because you do not have to only sit straight. Simply nurse in an upright position or relax in a more reclined angle, whatever suits you best.
The lever to do this is placed right at a convenient position to give you complete control over the movement of this swivel rocker chair.
And the best thing? It will still glide when in reclined position and this, is a huge selling point to most parents.
In terms of its swivel motion, like the DaVinci Olive and Baby Relax Mikayla, an enclosed ball bearing mechanism allows the Odelia to do both a 360 degree rotating swivel and smooth rocking motion.
The movement of the rocking motion includes a full range and is highly convenient.
Spacious & Comfortable
One of the very first thing you will note is that the Odelia is very spacious. With a width of 30" and depth of 37", it probably is the roomiest glider recliner we have ever came across.
This has to thank the square silhouette design it employs because there is no corner-cutting curve. The back is tall at 41.8 inches so if you're after a high back glider, this will not disappoint.
The whole of the chair is upholstered with soft-to-touch high quality plush fabric and the button tufting on the backrest as well as elegant welt trim detail add a touch of classiness to the glider overall.
Not just that, but the Odelia has a track arm design and supportive spring core foam filled seat that won't go thinner after a few sits (or if you're heavier) like some others so it is one of the most comfortable glider recliner ever.
Of course, if you're on the plus side, a wide glider like this will be more comfortable but overall, the Odelia will fit a good range of people we'd say.
Space-saving
You'd probably notice that the Naomi Home Odelia doesn't come with an ottoman.
Yes, a glider recliner with ottoman will take up too much space because you will need allowance both at the back (for when it reclines) and in the front for the ottoman.
This probably explains why manufacturers do not really make glider recliner with ottoman nowadays because really, not many people have that amount of space at their home.
Instead, the Odelia uses a retractable footrest that you can pull out when you need to kick up your feet and tuck back in when not in use. This design is no doubt more space-savvy than a glider rocker with ottoman set.
Sure, it doesn't have a footprint as small as this nursery glider here - it wouldn't be, given its spaciousness - but it certainly takes up less floor space than a glider and ottoman set.
And in line with its high comfort level motto, the footrest is padded to add an extra layer of comfort to your rocking chair.
It is also adjustable length-wise so that you get greater flexibility while using this recliner chair.
Easy to Assemble
Last but not least, the Odelia is very easy to assemble. While it may not be fully assembled like this one here, the majority of it has been put together so it arrives in just a few big parts.
All it takes from your side is to slide them in place to piece it together. The necessary tools required to do that is all provided so just follow the instruction closely and it'll be up in no time.
It is so easy, even a pregnant mother is able to do it without any help. That's saying a lot!
Thing to Note
To be honest, there isn't much we can fault the Naomi Home Odelia.
If we are to nitpick though, it will be that the footrest can be a bit tight when you want to tuck it back down.
Also, the angle of the reclining function has to be manually controlled via a lever instead of adjusting it electronically.
By no means are they deal breakers in any way, just something to keep in mind of if you're particular about these things.
Pros
Cons
Conclusion:
The Naomi Home Odelia Swivel Glider Recliner may not be one of those cheap rocking chairs for nursery, however, for what it offer, we think it is very reasonably priced.
Sturdily build and has everything you need for a glider, it glides, rocks, swivels and reclines and it is super comfortable. It also comes in a variety of colours to match with different interiors:
You can be sure this glider rocking chair is worth every penny spent on it.
