Short answer: Cozey's Mira is the steel-frame chair with a higher seat, a tall back and removable, washable covers. Cozey's Naos is the mid-century ash-wood chair with a deeper, firmer seat and fixed covers. Choose Mira for easy care, Naos for an upright wood look.
Both chairs sit happily beside a sofa, but they look, sit and wear differently. This page compares them on size, seat, covers, colours and fit with your sofa. For the full story of each, see our Mira guide and Naos guide, or how to choose an accent chair.

What is the main difference between Mira and Naos?
At Cozey, we built Mira around a steel frame and a relaxed sling seat, and Naos around ash wood and an upright foam seat. Mira has a black powder-coated steel frame, solid ash armrests stained a walnut colour, and a fabric sling attached with zippers, with two cushion inserts on top. Our product page describes cloud-like comfort and removable, washable covers.
Naos has armrests and legs in ash wood with a satin Oak or Walnut stain, a seat and back built on 13 mm plywood with dual-layer foam and a layer of fibre padding, and a mid-century shape. Its covers are not removable, and its foam can feel firm at first. Our guides to the Vela, Hubbel and Cassini lounge chair cover our other chairs.
How do Mira and Naos compare at a glance?
Mira has the higher seat and the taller back, while Naos has the deeper seat and wood legs. Depths are rounded to the nearest 0.5, and every figure comes from our product pages and guides.

How do the sizes compare?
Naos is the wider chair, and Mira is the deeper and taller one. Naos is about 11 cm (4.3 inches) wider than Mira, at 81 cm (31.9 inches) against 70 cm (27.6 inches), while Mira is about 4.5 cm (2 inches) deeper overall, at 85 cm (33.5 inches) against 80.5 cm (31.5 inches). Mira's 84 cm (33.1 inches) height is measured to the top of the back cushion, and its frame alone is 76 cm (29.9 inches). Naos is 76.5 cm (30.1 inches) high.
The seats differ too. Mira's seat is about 5 cm (2 inches) higher, at 48.5 cm (19 inches) against 43.5 cm (17 inches), and Naos's seat is about 4.5 cm (2 inches) deeper, at 55.5 cm (22.0 inches) against 51 cm (20.0 inches). Mark either footprint on the floor with painter's tape before you order, and read our guide to measuring stairs, elevators and doorways if the route in is tight.
Which is more comfortable to sit in?
It depends on the posture you like: Mira suits a relaxed, higher seat, and Naos suits an upright, supported one. Mira's sling seat with two cushion inserts is described on our product page as cloud-like comfort. You can fluff the inserts by hand now and then.
Naos uses dual-layer foam in the seat and the back, over a plywood base. The foam may need a short break-in period, and the cushions cannot be fluffed, so you press and smooth them by hand. At 43.5 cm (17 inches) high and 55.5 cm (22.0 inches) deep, the seat is supportive for reading, working or conversation. As general advice, a higher seat such as Mira's is often easier to get out of. Sit in a chair at a similar height if you can, and order free swatches to check the fabric feel.
Which is better for a small room?
Mira is the narrower chair, so it suits a tight corner or a spot beside a sofa where width is the limit, while Naos suits a squarer space. Naos takes a little more floor in total, though its 76.5 cm (30.1 inches) back stays moderate. Both are larger than our Vela lounge chair, our narrowest at 58.1 cm (22.9 inches) wide, so look at Vela first if the corner is very tight. As general advice, leave about 76 to 91 cm (30 to 36 inches) for a walkway beside the chair. Our guide to pairing a sofa, accent chair and coffee table shows how to space the three.
Which is easier to clean?
Mira is easier to clean, because its covers are removable and washable, while Naos is cleaned in place. For Mira, follow the care label for your fabric. Bouclé is machine washable, but we advise spot cleaning it, and for everyday marks a damp cloth and air drying work.
Naos covers do not come off, so vacuum with an upholstery attachment, blot spills right away with minimal water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner, and test in a hidden spot first. Dust the wood with a soft, dry cloth. In our own assessment, Aquaforte and Aquaforte Velvet are good for homes with pets, with Velvet the strongest. Mira offers both, and Naos offers Aquaforte Velvet. Our guide to cleaning a sofa by fabric type has more detail.
Which colours and fabrics does each chair come in?
Mira has the wider fabric choice, with 9 colours across five fabrics, and Naos pairs each fabric with a set Oak or Walnut frame, in 8 combinations. A higher Martindale count means the fabric withstands more rubbing before it shows wear. Our product pages group the three Performance weaves under one Performance Fabric heading, and the table separates them.
Which colours and fabrics does each chair come in?

Which goes better with my sofa?
Choose by finish and height: Mira echoes a sofa through its fabric colour, and Naos echoes it through its Oak or Walnut wood. Several chair colours, such as Sage, Espresso and Bordeaux on Mira and Mocha and Chocolate on Naos, are also sofa colours at Cozey, so you can match or deliberately contrast. Check Naos's fixed Oak or Walnut against your floor and tables first.
Seat height matters beside a sofa. Naos's 43.5 cm (17 inches) seat height is about the same as the 43 cm (17 inches) of our Cassini sofa, and Mira's 48.5 cm (19 inches) sits between that and the 54 cm (21.3 inches) seat height of our Gaia sofa. Our collections at a glance:
- Ciello: very soft, loose cushions and a dedicated chaise.
- Gaia: a soft seat with a high back.
- Cassini: curved, low and compact.
- Atmosphere: medium-firm and deep, with storage and sleeper versions.
- Neptune and Orian: our two sofa beds.
To see your sofa before you order, build it in Cozey Studio, our guided 3D configurator, then choose the chair colour beside it; our Studio guide explains the steps. Our Mensa side table is a natural neighbour for Naos, and Themis or Altitude can furnish the wall behind a corner chair. Our side table guide helps with heights.
Our recommendation
At Cozey, we suggest Mira if easy care and a high back matter most, and Naos if you want an upright, wood-framed seat.
Choose Mira if:
- You want removable, washable covers.
- You like a higher, relaxed seat and a tall back.
- You have a narrower corner, about 70 cm (27.6 inches) wide.
- You want the wider fabric choice, including bouclé, Chenille and Aquaforte.
Choose Naos if:
- You want a mid-century look with real wood arms and legs.
- You prefer an upright, supportive seat that is 55.5 cm (22.0 inches) deep.
- You have about 81 cm (31.9 inches) by 80.5 cm (31.5 inches) of floor to give.
- You are happy to spot clean rather than wash.
Neither chair swivels; if that matters, look at our Cassini lounge chair. Order swatches first, and compare the footprints against your room. Both ship in one box (Mira's is 24 cm (9.4 inches) high and Naos's 55 cm (21.7 inches)), which helps if the route in is tight.
