gemütlich: immaterial state; giving a good and calming atmosphere (like a comforatable looking flat)
bequem: for physical things like a pair of trousers, a couch or things like that.
You feel comfortable, when you use them.
So, if you look at a pair of jogging pants and start to feel comfortable, it looks "gemütlich".
If you put it on, and you really feel comfortable, then it's "bequem".
Keep in mind: Most Germans use those words without making a difference.
Just use the one, that is easier to pronounce for you :)
