Which is better for a small apartment?

The Korser. It is built and marketed as a small-space recliner, and it costs less. Check the dimensions against your wall space before ordering, since the listing does not give a full footprint here.

Which holds more weight?

The Verve. It is rated to 300 lbs. The Korser does not state a weight capacity, so treat it as suited to average adult use only.

Is the Verve worth about $118 more?

Yes if you need the 300 lb rating, a wipe-clean surface, or a chair for someone taller than about 5'7". If none of those apply, the Korser does the same push-back job for less.

Which is easier to clean?

The Verve. Faux leather wipes down with a solvent cleaner (cleaning code X). The Korser's linen fabric will absorb spills and needs spot cleaning.

Do both recline without power?

Yes. Both use a manual push-back motion with no buttons, levers or electricity. The Korser states a 95° to 155° range; the Verve does not publish an angle range.

Hard to say from specs alone. The Verve publishes a metal-reinforced seat and a 300 lb rating, which suggests heavier-duty construction. The Korser has a metal frame but no published capacity.
