About HSL Chairs - Stockton-on-Tees
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.

Used Stockton Portrack branch
Used Stockton Portrack branch, staff very helpful , very knowledgeable of products, and made us feel very comfortable.
Our 2 Sofas delivered by Paul & Ian, no problems at all.
Gave us all the information we needed, and very pleasant to talk too. Placed furniture exactly where we wanted it.

John and Wendy Stockton branch arrived for an home visit on time. I tried the Aysgarth 4 motor riser recliner and found it exceeded my expectations. Both John and Wendy were so nice patient and helpful no pressure to buy lovely people. Anyway I placed my order and now look forward to delivery, highly recommend.

The two Stockton branch staff Wendy and Steph were excellent in helping us arrive at a decision that met our requirements in terms of their knowledge and helpfulness with regards the chair fitting and colour coordination for our room decor. No pressure sales, just honest information delivered in a supportive and friendly manner.
Buying a recliner and sofa
John and Ali from Stockton were both very friendly, efficient and explained everything very clearly so we knew exactly what we were buying. Nothing was too much trouble and my husband was able to sit in a chair and try it out.
Fantastic service & product
Everything from start to delivery was fantastic, staff in the shop were very attentive, nothing was too much trouble for them. Checking to make sure the chair met my mams needs and getting them a cuppa tea, it's the small gestures that make all the difference. Delivery lads Alex & Asad were lovely, making sure it worked and trying different areas of the room to see where was best. Thanks to all and she is very pleased with the chair :-)
Home demonstration
The appointment was arranged through a telephone conversation with staff at the York showroom who were extremely helpful. Wendy and John arrived on time and both were very knowledgeable about the products and the history of HSL. I was nervous when using the chair to recline and stand but they guided me in a friendly, professional manner. The Ripley chair was extremely comfortable and I’m now waiting impatiently for my own to arrive!
Very helpful

Craig and Jed delivered my chair today 21st April. They rang to say the time they would be with me. They were polite, friendly and very professional in their job. They were nice guys.
Along with the girls in the shop my experience with HSL was extremely good. Thank you all concerned.
A successful and satisfying visit
We initially visited the Stockton-on-Tees branch to view the furniture on display. We were assisted by Luke, who was very helpful and left us alone to try out a number of suites that we liked and discuss our findings with each other, but being there whenever we sought further information. We left with brochures etc to peruse at home.
We revisited the store on 7 April 2026 where we were met by Allison, who again helped us with further queries and guided us into making our final choice, result: 1 x 3-piece suite purchased.
Both members of staff were very knowledgeable about the various styles, sizes and options of furniture and their coverings and were courteous throughout.

Jacqui and John from the Stockton store…
Jacqui and John from the Stockton store came to demonstrate the chairs. They were both extremel pleasant and helpful , Jacqui going above and beyond helping with the samples of fabric. After much consideration I placed my order for a three piece suite .I have now taken delivery after slight problems removing my old suite which the delivery men took in their stride! I am 100% pleased with my furniture and the service received from all the staff, including very helpful customer services, including Chantelle who very kindly sent me a birthday card following me mentioning in passing that the furniture was going to be a birthday present to myself!!
