Mainstays Studio 66 in Convertible Futon vs Anpport 3-in-1 Convertible Sleeper Sofa

The Mainstays Studio is the safer pick for most shoppers: a wider 66-inch seat, a split-back that lets two people recline separately, and a large base of owner ratings. The Anpport is smaller and narrower, but its adjustable back reclines to 105, 135 and 180 degrees and it includes two toss pillows. Build is comparable on both, with wood frames and foam cushions; the Anpport claims a 500 lb capacity, while the Mainstays relies on its much larger review history. Pick the Anpport only if you want a velvet look and a reclining back in a tight room.

• Choose the Mainstays Studio if you want a wider two-seat futon that folds flat into a single bed and has a split back so each side reclines on its own.
• Choose the Anpport if you want a compact velvet loveseat with a back that adjusts to three angles and a pull-out sleeper.
