Short answer: Cozey's Mira is the taller chair, with a steel frame, armrests and the higher seat. Cozey's Hubbel is the lower, more compact chair on Oak or Walnut legs. Choose Mira for a statement chair that is easier to stand up from, Hubbel for a tight corner.
Both have removable, washable covers, so the choice comes down to height, depth, frame and fabric. For each chair on its own, read our Mira chair guide and Hubbel lounge chair guide, and for the whole range see how to choose an accent chair.

Which is better for a small room?
Hubbel is the better fit for a small room, mainly because it is lower, at 70.5 cm (27.8 inches) against 84 cm (33.1 inches) for Mira. The footprints are close: Hubbel is 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) narrower and 2 cm (1.0 inches) shallower.
If footprint matters most, our Vela lounge chair is narrower than either, at 58.1 cm (22.9 inches) wide. As general advice, not a product specification, mark the footprint with painter's tape and leave about 76 to 91 cm (30 to 36 inches) beside the chair. Our guide to measuring stairs, lifts and doorways covers the path in.
Which has the more comfortable seat?
The two chairs sit differently: Mira has a higher, slightly deeper seat, and Hubbel a lower, shallower one. Mira's seat is 48.5 cm (19 inches) high and 51 cm (20 inches) deep, Hubbel's is 40 cm (15.7 inches) high and 48 cm (19 inches) deep, so Mira sits 8.5 cm (3.3 inches) higher.
Mira's seat is a fabric sling with two cushion inserts, and our product page describes it as cloud-like comfort with generous seating. Hubbel has a layered foam seat and back. A higher seat is often easier to get out of, and a lower one feels more relaxed.
To curl up, our Cassini lounge chair has our deepest seat, at 57.5 cm (22.5 inches).
Which fabrics and colours does each chair come in?
Mira comes in five fabrics and nine colours, and Hubbel comes in two fabrics and seven colours, with a choice of Oak or Walnut legs. A higher Martindale count means a fabric withstands more rubbing before it wears.
Which fabrics and colours does each chair come in?
| Fabric | Martindale | Mira | Hubbel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bouclé | 15,000 | Cloud | Not offered |
| Performance Chenille | 48,000 | Sage, Espresso, Bordeaux | Sage, Frost, Bordeaux, Espresso |
| Performance Plain Weave | 90,000 | Dream Grey | Not offered |
| Aquaforte | 78,000 | Sesame, Snowdrift, Basalt | Not offered |
| Aquaforte Velvet | More than 200,000 | Crumble | Chocolate, Aqua, Crumble |
Aquaforte Velvet is our strongest fabric for pets, in our own assessment. Hubbel is not offered in our newest velvet colours, listed in our guide to Aquaforte Velvet colours. Colours can change, so check each product page and order free swatches.
Which is easier to care for, assemble and move in?
Care and assembly are similar, because both chairs have removable, washable covers and are mostly tool-free to build. Hubbel's chenille covers wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry, and its velvet covers can be wiped or machine washed cold. For Mira, follow the care label and spot clean everyday marks with a damp cloth. Our guide to cleaning your sofa covers each fabric.
Mira arrives in one box of 90 x 78 x 24 cm (35.4 x 30.7 x 9.4 inches). Hubbel arrives in a chair box of 77 x 70 x 50 cm (30.3 x 27.6 x 20.5 inches), plus a cover kit box of 56 x 43 x 37 cm (22 x 16.9 x 14.6 inches). Mira's hardware is eight M6 hand screws and an Allen key, Hubbel's four handscrews and an Allen key.
Which goes better with my sofa?
Either chair works beside our sofas, so choose on seat height, wood tone and colour. Mira is the chair our pairing guide shows with Ciello, Atmosphere, Neptune and Gaia, and its walnut-toned armrests echo a wood coffee table. Hubbel lets you pick Oak or Walnut legs to match a table or shelf. Our guide to pairing a sofa, accent chair and coffee table covers scale, height and finish.
Our sofa collections are Ciello (deep, loose cushions), Gaia (soft seat, high back), Cassini (curved and low) and Atmosphere (medium-firm, with Storage and Sleeper versions).
In Cozey Studio, our online configurator, you can preview a sofa in a colour that suits your chair before you order.
Should I choose Mira or Hubbel?
Choose Mira if:
- You want a statement chair with a high back, armrests and a steel and ash frame.
- You want the higher seat, at 48.5 cm (19 inches), because it is easier to stand up from.
- You want more fabric choice, or the lower starting price.
Choose Hubbel if:
- You want a low, relaxed seat at 40 cm (15.7 inches) that keeps sight lines open.
- You want Oak or Walnut legs to match a table, shelf or floor.
- You are fitting a tight corner and want a shallower seat.
Our recommendation
Cozey's Mira is the chair for a statement piece with armrests and an easier stand-up, and Cozey's Hubbel is the chair for a low, relaxed seat in a tight space. If you are undecided, start with seat height: 48.5 cm (19 inches) for Mira or 40 cm (15.7 inches) for Hubbel. Then check the footprint against your lounge room and order free swatches.
