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.

Very helpful informative staff

The staff made our experience in the Southend store very enjoyable . Anne was very knowledgable about the different chairs that Dad was encouraged to try. Special attention was given to ensure Dad was matched to the correct chair for him.

Reliable with good quality

Emma and Julie were very patient and understanding as we talked through different options for my mother. They were clear about the pros and cons for different chair formats, highlighting things we had not considered. There was no rush or hard sell, plenty of time to look at different options and ask questions. Returning customers and was nice to see Emma again, she is a credit to the store. Wishing Julie lots of luck in the Lakeside store.

Friendly and efficient service at Rayleigh store

Not received the chair yet (due in a few weeks) but the sales team in Rayleigh (called the Southend store) were superb. No hard sell but there to give friendly assistance. Furniture is top end, great quality so try to buy something when it's in the sale! Recommended 😀

Today I went to HSL to look at their Fireside chairs, i brought my last one over 8 years ago and it is now wearing out . Anyway I met a lovely lady called Lisa.she was really knowledgeable about chairs/materials.etc we were offered tea/ coffee, biscuits.
She talked us through everything about the chair and was very professional throughout. But put us at ease
She was happy and nothing was to much bother what a lovely lady.and what a great company lots of choice of chairs and settees they also sell beds .
If you go in ask for Lisa , you won't regret it.

Made to feel most welcome from the start. Nothing was to much trouble. Emma and the Rayleigh Store team were most helpful with trying different cushions (foam and spring based), picking fabric, legs etc. Would definitely recommend

Emma at Rayleigh showroom in Essex was excellent she explained everything that I needed and asked including different quality of leathers. I didn’t feel pestered when I went into the showroom but she said let her know when I needed help. Nice touch was we were offered coffee and biscuit before she knew I was going to make a purchase. The showroom is very well laid out and not too overpowering with furniture crammed in.

The Southend staff

The two ladies in the showrooms at Rayleigh made us feel very welcome. They were a great help without putting pressure on us, gave us all the options available and completed a sale professionally. The sort of experience you would always like when buying goods.
