About HSL Chairs - Taunton
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.

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 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.
