Very professional help from Eric. He knew what he was speaking about and helped me buy the most comfortable chair. I would definitely recommend him to friends.

About HSL Chairs - Southampton

Written by the company

HSL is an award-winning family furniture business with stores nationwide. We’ve been handcrafting and delivering beautiful furniture to provide true comfort for over 50 years. Making people comfortable is part of our DNA and that is why we do it.


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.

Outstanding knowledge and patience of…

Outstanding knowledge and patience of the staff at Southampton, with special thanks to Brian. The quality of the armchairs is outstanding...minor quibble..head office initially had not applied my payment of the balance..ahead of time..and initially said that I still owed it. One chair ( Aysgarth ) was delivered without the protective arm sleeves which are still awaited

A very pleasant experience!

From the assistant in the showroom to the lovely delivery guys, Jason and Ashley, the customer experience and quality of products would take some beating. Very courteous, understanding and knowledgable. I'm feeling envious of my mum's new adjustable bed already!

Fantastic. First class service.

Botley, Southampton store. Fantastic. Star of the show was Eric, lovely young man and made our visit very enjoyable. He certainly knows his stuff. We spent a very informative hour and a half and made our choice and are looking forward to our new sofas arriving in a few weeks.
The sofas they have in the showroom are lovely. They cater for every whim. Modern or traditional.
Thank you HSL and especially Eric. Though you need to practice making your coffee a bit hotter! Ha ha! Keep up the good service. 👏🏽😊

Express delivery needed

I needed a recliner chair with some urgency and HSL provided an excellent service. Eric and Valentine came to my home and demonstrated possible chairs. The decision was easy to make and the whole buying experience seamless. Delivery was spot on and I now have a comfortable recliner which absolutely fits my needs.

Valentine & Eric arrived to show

Valentine & Eric arrived to show, demonstrate and advise on the best chair for my situation / condition. Nothing was too much trouble and their concern was clearly to make sure that I had the opportunity to choose the right chair at the right price. Also excellent order management when the material I had chosen was no longer immediately available and would add a further 12 weeks to my order. So with some assistance a different material was chosen that did not require a delay to the order. Great service.
