We have learnt how people sit, rest and sleep; how their bodies bend and move; and where and why they ache.

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 .

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.
MRS RUTH BULLMAN
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.

From the moment we walked into the store, Lisa was and her colleague were very welcoming. Taking my mother in to look at fireside style chairs to help with her posture and a list of ailments, Lisa took her time to show options available and choices of fabrics and colours. She was caring enough to listen to my mother’s responses to each chair trial. Also discussed discounted promotions into consideration which most chain stores would neglect to inform you of. My mother is looking forward to taking delivery of her chosen chair, at which point we will provide further testimony. Thank you.
Emma at the Rayleigh branch
Emma at the Rayleigh branch, with Lisa, was great with my mum. She took the time to make sure mum understood the difference between different types of rise/recliner chair and how they worked, ensuring she got the right size.
Emma was relaxed and never 'pushy'. Mum was completely at ease. All this with a nice cup of tea! Many thanks!
The lady Tracey was very helpful
The lady Tracey was very helpful and had a Good knowledge of the products. She wasn't pushy and pleasant to deal with.
I can not praise this company enough
I can not praise this company enough from Debbie in customer services to the really lovely Jasmine at the Rayleigh/Southend branch. I needed replacement foam cushions for two of my chairs and when they arrived I couldn’t fit them in the covers, but Jasmine struggled and did them for me! Thank you so much.

Good service
I reviewed HSL as excellent when I visited this store at Rayleigh.
I cannot fault their service, my chair was delivered early this morning by two chaps who were very obliging.
