Rocking chairs are interactive chairs introduced in The Sims 3: Supernatural. In Supernatural there are three different designs which are wooden, antique, and modern; all of which can be found in Living Chairs under Comfort in Buy mode. Another style of rocking chair is available in The Sims 3 Store. They take up a 2x1 area of space and can not be blocked by an object in front.
Rocking chairs enable a Sim to rock while sitting, restoring both energy and fun slowly. Instead of having the "Sit" interaction like any other chair, rocking chairs have the "Rock" interaction. Sims can read a book or take a nap while rocking, and they can also hold babies or toddlers.

Notes
The "Nap" interaction may be more efficient than most beds' "Sleep" interactions in some cases, taking two naps to fill up a Sim's energy.
Taking a nap will not remove the "Enjoying the Late Night" moodlet from the Night Owl trait.
Rocking chairs give players a method to combat the fun drop from reading a skill book.
A rocking chair can be unlocked in The Sims FreePlay after the player builds a children's store.
