Delta Children Mercer Power Recliner

In this delta children mercer power recliner review, the Delta Children Mercer is the best budget power recliner in our 2026 nursery gliders guide at $399.99, ranking fifth of nine. It is a full-size swivel glider with push-button recline, a 240-degree swivel, and both USB and Type-C ports built into the side. The 4.2-star rating comes from 110 Amazon ratings, which tells you most buyers get what they expect at this price. At 26.5 inches wide it has the slimmest footprint in the guide, so it fits small nurseries where wider chairs do not. Buy it if you want power recline without a $700 price tag, and hold off if anyone using it weighs more than 250 pounds.

In practice, the day-to-day feel of the Mercer comes down to a few numbers. The seat cushion is 6.5 inches thick, and the seat measures 19.75 inches wide by 22.5 inches deep, with 19 inches of height from the floor and a back that rises 24 inches above the cushion. Tall parents may find that back short. On top of that, the LiveSmart performance fabric repels moisture, so spilled milk beads up on the surface until you gently blot it away. Meanwhile, the wood frame, metal glider base, and sinuous steel springs keep the gliding and reclining whisper quiet. Built-in USB and Type-C ports keep your phone charged through long nights, and the padded armrests give you somewhere to rest during a 2 a.m. feed.

By contrast with the $700-plus power recliners in this guide, the Mercer saves you hundreds while keeping the push-button recline and the swivel. It also weighs 103.8 pounds, so once assembled it stays where you put it, and assembly instructions are included. Even so, the 4.2 rating from 110 ratings is one of the lower scores in our list, and the 250-pound weight limit is modest. The 34.75-inch depth also needs clearance behind it, so measure your nursery before you order. If budget and floor space are your two biggest concerns, this is the power recliner to get.
