Mainstays Boucle Swivel Accent Chair vs Bristol Swivel Chair

The Mainstays is the bigger, softer chair: a wide boucle barrel seat with a deeper cushion and no assembly. The Bristol is smaller and firmer, with velvet, channel stitching and a higher weight rating. Pick the Mainstays for a roomy lounge chair in a textured fabric; pick the Bristol for a compact chair that holds more weight and looks more tailored. Owners rate the Mainstays highly, but its 250 lb limit and 57 lb bulk are real constraints.

• Choose the Mainstays Boucle Swivel Accent Chair if you want a wide, deep seat in textured boucle and want it usable straight out of the box with no assembly.
• Choose the Bristol Taupe Swivel Chair if you need a compact footprint, a 300 lb weight capacity and a firmer, more structured sit in velvet.
