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.

Excellent Service

Sales person gave us time to tryout nearly every chair in the shop, only to come back to the very first chair we tried. They went through the whole process of ensuring the chair fitted correctly.

There was a slight delay in delivery due to a fault being found on one the chairs. This was a quality control check by HSLbefore it was delivered to us. Kept well informed of the problem and a new date was set for delivery.

The Delivery men Edwin and Garry were amazing. They rang to say they were going to be earlier than stated. I explained I hadn't moved the furniture to accommodate the new chairs. Told me not to worry, they would do it when they got here.

I would recommend this company as the service from start to finish was excellent.

Very good service at the hedge end branch. The team where brilliant with their knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. Would have given them five stars but the delivery dates need a bit more flexibility (ie) not just one delivery date a week

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. 👏🏽😊
