Carianna Oversized Chair and Ottoman vs Stressless Mayfair Classic Power Recliner

Buy the Carianna if you want a wide, stationary chair-and-a-half with a matching ottoman for a living room or bedroom corner. Buy the Stressless Mayfair if you want a powered recliner with real lumbar and head support and a swivel base. The Carianna is a big, traditional upholstered piece with roll arms and nailhead trim; the Mayfair is a leather recliner with a motorized leg and back, a Plus support system and a 360-degree swivel. Owners of Stressless recliners tend to praise long-term comfort and build; the Carianna has few ratings, so judge it in person.

• Choose the Carianna if you want a broad, stationary chair and ottoman that seats two small people or one person with room to sprawl, in a traditional look.
• Choose the Stressless Mayfair if you want a powered recliner that lays flat, swivels and supports your lower back and head for reading or TV.
