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.

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.

From first sight to sitting in it perfect

When we called into the showroom the gentleman was very knowledgeable. He pointed out aspects that we hadn’t thought about like husband needing a much bigger, higher backed chair than my petit one.
Would have liked a shorter delivery but as they say good things are worth waiting for. Delivery was also very good, nice lad to explain and demonstrate.
Since getting used to it I simply love it - thank you all.

5 stars for the Taunton Branch

Our experience at the Taunton branch of HSL was wonderful. The staff couldn’t be more helpful. It took about 2 hours to choose our chairs and the staff were very patient, laughed at husbands joke and supplied coffee and biscuits!

HSL Taunton the best :)

We were on a mission last Saturday to purchase one or two reclining chairs, as we are now finding our living room furniture uncomfortable, plus our aches and pains don’t help!
Our closest HSL is Taunton in Somerset and we rocked up there at 10am. Sue W opened the door for us and from that moment on we felt we were being well taken care of. Sue and her colleague were very knowledgeable about their range of suites/chairs and we found with their help the best chairs to suit our needs.
We realised when we left that we had been with them for over 2 hours. Lovely ladies, the tea, coffee and biscuits were an extra bonus!

Wonderful serice by Daryl and Lisa. Daryl took great care to ensure that my wife had the most comfortable chair, and was patient and friendly throughout our visit to the Taunton showroom.

First class service

First class service from start to finish. The staff in the Taunton store couldn’t have been more helpful. It was a pleasure to shop there.
Martin and Leon from the delivery team went out of their way to help my elderly mother when they delivered her new chair. They made the whole experience as stress free as possible for her.
Thank you to everyone involved

Plenty of choice, great customer service

We were made to feel very welcome when we arrived at the Taunton showroom. We were greeted and then given plenty of time to look at the sofas on show. The assistant was very knowledgeable regarding materials, etc and clearly explained the ordering and delivery process.

Impressive

I was so impressed with the undivided attention given to me by the Comfort Specialist. Her expertise and patience assisted me so much in my decision making for the furniture I needed and desired. I am thrilled with the pieces and fabrics I chose with her help. Her hard work, in all aspects of the experience, are deeply appreciated.

Sofa delivery…

We had our recliner sofa delivered this morning, by Connor and Ashton. What helpful your men. They rang 20 minutes before hand, to say they were on their way. They unpacked it in the van, and then carried it indoors. They assembled it, checked everything was working correctly. They explained all the workings. And before you could say "Jack Robinson", they were gone. Both young men were very helpful, and polite and efficient. Score them 100%. Very happy,
Our dealings with the staff at the local store here were also extremely helpful and informative. Very happy with our order, and delivered within the time stated. Well done to the entire HSL team.

Thank you HSL

Thank you so much to the team at HSL Taunton who were very helpful and came up with some good suggestions. I would also like to thank the two men who delivered our three piece suite who were very polite and respectful

Finding a contemporary looking manual recliner chair.

Friendly but clearly professional advice and welcoming atmosphere, especially given our problems finding the place.
( entirely our fault due to our lack of tech etc ability in following iPhone directions!)
Did not feel pressured, had I felt so I would probably have not remained. Overall a positive experience, especially given this was a pretty huge purchase for me.

Staff were welcoming and…

Staff were welcoming and knowledgeable.
Nothing was rushed and there was no hard sell. It was important to them that the chair was the right fit, the right style and in the right fabric.
Coffee and a Kit-Kat sealed the deal!!

Sue was so helpful and made me feel comfortable and not rushed. Strongly recommend HSL

Sue was really helpful, especially after I had sat in a couple of chairs. She showed me a catalogue that showed the dimensions for different types of chairs. It was so good to see the facts and how they felt in the seat. It was great to use the tablet and check how my elbows reacted.

Joanna Harrison, my occupational therapist comments. The chair:
• Needs to have low arms to allow him to use his communication aid
• Seat needs to be shallow
• Back needs to be upright
• Feet, knees, and hips need to be at 90 degrees
• Low arms of the chair would also allow his table to be pulled in front of his chair

The chair was perfect for me. I bought it straight away.
