Time and patience taken

Just had Ian and Paul deliver my new knaresborough suite and rise recliner chair, both were brilliant,- polite, friendly and obliging, great ambassadors for HSL, so I will be back for a new mattress soon, many thanks to all concerned from first contact to end delivery, this is the way to do business, other dealers could learn a lot about customer satisfaction from HSL.

Efficient and friendly

The whole experience from purchase and advice from David in the store to delivery was almost perfect. Ian and Paul delivered my chair with professionalism, cheerfulness and efficiency. They arrived when they said they would, fitted the chair together and gave a demonstration as to its working. Doing their final check it was discovered that two bits of Velcro had not been fixed to the back. A telephone call to the office was made and I received a further call from HSL to arrange a technician to complete the work

Visited my local HSL showroom in ST5 on 22/02/2026 to purchase a riser-recliner chair. I was greeted by the lovely Julie and a hot drink and biscuits were provided for me! I was in the store for approx 1hr. I was shown all of my options. At no point was I rushed. I felt listened to - and that made a big difference. There was no 'hard sell'. I came away from the store happy with the chair I had picked. Thank you very much for the kindness and patience shown.

We have just placed an order at the Newcastle under Lyme store for a sofa and chair. The customer service was excellent - John was extremely professional and helpful with many suggestions to enable us to purchase the appropriate furniture for our needs.
He gave us plenty of time to try out the furniture but was on hand to answer all our queries- overall a very good experience - excited now for the delivery - thank you John.

Friendly comfort specialists

I have just had a visit from the company for a consultation and have decided to purchase a chair. I think it is a great deal and value for money. The people that attended were Julie and Mike and they were incredibly helpful, they were friendly and made the process quick and easy. I would recommend this experience as I got to see the chair in my own living room, and try it for size and comfort. I am now looking forward to my chair arriving!

we attended the HSL store in Newcastle under Lyne last Friday and we served by David. He was very informative, pleasant and patient. There was no hard sell and all the options we requested were happily accepted.

Good service at the Newcastle-under-Lyme branch

We visited the Newcastle-under-Lyme branch of HSL to choose a riser recliner chair. David was very knowledgeable, thorough and patient. There was plenty of choice of chairs and we were advised to take our time to try each one properly before choosing. David explained everything during the purchase and we were very happy with the service. Glad that there was no high pressure sales.

An ideal riser recliner

We have been looking for a riser recliner chair for a few days, and have visited several shops. None of the chairs we tested in shops we visited previously were suitable. Most were uncomfortable and/or too small. However, When we arrived at HSL it was clear that this shop was well run, tidy and clean, in contrast to other shops we had visited. We were welcomed by a sales person, and asked what our needs were. Once explained, the salesman showed us what would be suitable. The chair we tested was superb - really comfortable, in complete contrast to the chairs we had seen in other shops. It was just what we wanted, so we bought it. A bit expensive, but ideal for our purpose.

I visited the Newcastle store after trying other brand furniture stores and the difference was obvious from being greeted by David at the door to my purchase, it was really helpful to try different chairs to find one that fitted my aching back whilst sitting on the sofa I chose it was obvious I'd made the right choice as I was feeling no pain or having to move about to get comfortable. I view my purchase of a sofa with matching chair and riser recliner as an investment in health and to obtain a substantial 45% discount on the recliner was a welcome bonus. I cannot praise David enough for his help and for sharing his wealth of knowledge, if only all sales staff met your companies obvious high standard.
