The Rocking Chair

Be At Ease Co. loves a good, old fashioned rocking chair.

There is a reason we made it the focal point of our logo: It personifies who we are.

The rocking chair is a simple idea that has helped people since the 18th century be at ease.

Studies have shown that the subtle rocking back and forth in a rocking chair can actually reduce anxiety and depression, as well as provide other health benefits.

It can help adults relax after a long, hard day and can also put a crying baby right to sleep. A very small alteration, like adding rockers to a chair, has had a major impact on the way people live. 

Another aspect of rocking chairs that we love is that they also have a way of bringing people together. It is rare that you find one sitting alone, which immediately makes it a gateway for inviting someone to join you. 

Rocking chairs offer an opportunity to slow down the pace of the world, observe your surroundings, and maybe even get to know someone.

My great-grandfather, who always told us to "be at ease," was known for sitting in a rocking chair just about every day. The front porch was his spot to get away and rest, even during the hottest Georgia summers. It is amazing how many photos we have of him in a rocking chair surrounded by people he loved.

This is why the rocking chair is such a major part of Be At Ease Co.

We want to be a community of people making a similar impact.

We want to provide reminders to be at ease and help you slow down the pace of the world when everything else around you is telling you to speed up.

We want you to take some time to observe what’s going on around you, soak up the sights and sounds, enjoy good company, and relax.

That is why the rocking chair is so important to us.

It’s more than just a chair.
