Now let us look a little more in-depth at some of the particular types of gliders.
A mission glider allows you to rock back and forth much like a rocker, but because of its metal hinging structure, your feet never leave the floor like they would with a traditional rocker. The base never leaves the ground - only the top portion of the seat rocks back and forth. This helps avoid the unwanted accident of rocking on a child or pet. Also, mission gliders are much easier and comfortable to the body.
Mission gliders evolved from the Spanish areas in California in the early part of the last century. Just like the houses around the area, they are usually made with wood and stucco.
Now an Adirondack glider is a very specific type of glider. It was created back in the early 1900s in the Northeast area of the United States - particularly in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. These types of gliders have a tall back with lower seats. They are also noted for their wide armrests.
