Ease of Use
The Gripper Rocking chair cushion is made in the USA. The back cushion measures 17 x 23 x 3 inches and the seat cushion measures 17 x 17 x 3 inches.
This particular cushion is comfortable and attractive with heavy and quality-constructed cushioning. While an overall high-quality product, whether this would be a good cushion for you or not depends on how well you measure your own rocking chair prior to purchase to ensure that it would be a good fit.
(Check out the measurement explainer video below this review to see how to beat measure your chair.) It has been designed to fit most standard-size rocking chairs.
The primary issues this cushion faces besides general sizing concerns is that the colors in the product photos do not always look the same in person and sometimes the cushion ties need to be reinforced after extended use.
Pros
- Quality construction
- Range of color options
- Easy returns online
Cons
- There's no one size fits all option
How to measure
What are customers saying?
- A rocking chair pad or cushion is a great way to refurbish the appearance of an older-looking rocking chair.
- It's important to gather some initial measurements prior to purchasing one of these chair cushions to ensure that it is a fit.
- It's impossible to create a one-size-fits-all cushion- so as the saying goes, measure twice cut once!
- The bottom cushions are frequently coated with an anti-skid grip. Along with the ties this will help to keep the cushions in place while rocking.
- There are a variety of different color and material cushion types available for purchase, which will help you to customize the look and feel of the rocking chair cushion that you eventually select.
- If you are looking for a comfortable gel cushion to supplement any other style of chair- check out our gel cushion reviews!
- One of the most common complaints besides sizing issues is that the colors on the website do not match the colors of the actual product- this does require some study to ensure that what you are purchasing will be color-coordinated to your desired environment.
