We have spent over half a century making it our mission to understand the different sizes, shapes and needs of our customers. We have learnt how people sit, rest and sleep; how their bodies bend and move; and where and why they ache. We call this knowledge CleverComfort™, and it goes into the design and manufacture of every chair, sofa and bed we make – ensuring that our furniture fits the bodies of our customers perfectly.


Award Winning

HSL has also been recognised by The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for one of our innovative designs, our wooden knuckle. The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is a prestigious award for recognising British businesses and other organisations who excel at promoting opportunity, sustainable development, international trade or innovation.


Made in Yorkshire

Whilst our roots still remain in Yorkshire, we have welcoming showrooms nationwide spanning the entire country and a national network of Home Visit Comfort Specialists performing consultations in our customers’ own homes.


Family Business

As we’ve grown, one thing that has never changed is the passion for comfort and furniture being at the heart of our business. We’re still family-run, we continue to hold traditional values in our hearts, and we have always been dedicated to providing a caring service and excellent value for money for all of our customers.

HSL redeemed themselves in the end

A very variable experience.

Due to disability I required a chair specifically to help with my back and various other difficulties. We chose a chair and all went well until it was delivered. It looked discoloured almost immediately, but I was having a bad patch and it took a while to notify HSL. Two independent reviews later and apparently they said it was "pile shading" and that it was worn out by my use. When I felt better we referred our complaint up the chain to another person who said, "I wouldn't accept that!"

We then chose a replacement chair, with the original payment refunded and paid a load more money, but we now have a splendid chair that meets my needs and does not look worn.

Great staff in store, who were very helpful. One very understanding and helpful member of staff in head office. Beware "pile shading" and being fobbed off for something that isn't right.!

*Update*
Thank you for providing me with your order details.
I have reviewed your account again in detail and am happy that the correct processes were followed in investigating your concerns regarding the fabric shading on your chair.
As a well-established family-owned business, HSL takes great pride in offering quality hand-crafted furniture alongside 5* customer service and I am happy that we were able to offer you a satisfactory flexible solution to your issue.
I do note that your replacement chair was offered with no penalty charges, and the extra cost that you subsequently paid simply covered the difference in price to upgrade to the new riser recliner chair.
I am pleased that this has proved a satisfactory outcome for you.
Kind Regards,
Simon Watson
Customer Care Team leader

Good afternoon,
Thank you for your review.
I am sorry to hear that your experience with your HSL furniture was variable.
As a family owned and run business, we are always keen to learn where our service falls below our 5* offering.
To allow me to look into this further, if you could email me with your order details, that would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Simon Watson

Due to unforeseen circumstances we decided not to go ahead with purchase that same evening. We were told we had a breathing space of 48 hours in which we could cancel with no penalty
However, 8 days have passed with no refund of deposit. We’re told it should take no more than a couple of days?
It can take 14 days to refund. Not told this at the time but now received today
Thank you. The showroom experience is very good.

Excellent experience

Great service in store from Richard plenty of information given and lots of questions were answered very patiently. No pushy sales just advice. Ordered my chair on Monday, it was in stock and delivery on Thursday. Kept well informed with regular phone calls from Carl and Lee. Arrived when they said and the put the chair together in the van so I didn't see any packaging. Then delivered it into the room. Very good experience and will definitely be looking to shop there in future.

I was looking for a comfortable chair for my mum who has advanced dementia and who has recently come home from a prolonged hospital stay due to a bad fall.
From the lovely, helpful and friendly staff in your Chester store to the very pleasant and helpful delivery and installation guys, the whole experience with HSL has been faultless.
Thank you so much!
