About HSL Chairs - Bathgate
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.

Thank you for all the excellant advice and care shown to me this morning. Fiona was very professional and helpful, making sure I was comfortable and taught me how to use and care for my new chair. This is the third time I have purchased from HSL, each time I have enjoyed the experience.

Everything was fully demonstrated and explained.
I was very happy with their visit.
Helpful and cheerful
Fiona arrived on time in the van as promised. She had all the relevant information on hand and told us all we needed to know in a cheerful and friendly way. She could not have been more helpful and we are now hoping for a delivery of our order as soon as possible,

Very friendly staff
What a great experience visiting HSL Bathgate was, the staff was very friendly. Julie let us look at the reclining chairs and found the one we were looking for then Julie came and spoke to us about the chair. I think my mum is going to like it.
Great service.
From first contact with knowledgeable and friendly staff at my local HSL showroom to ordering and ultimately receiving my new bed was a great experience. The quality of the furniture is excellent too. You are given a real phone number to call if you have any questions about your furniture which is actually answered by a person. Overall a very pleasant experience.
Exceptional customer service and product range
Thoughtful and thorough customer service during an unscheduled showroom visit to consider riser recliner for my elderly mother with complex needs. Julie in the Bathgate showroom was superb, backed by the Home Demonstration team booking a visit and then Karen from the Southampton team who brought the selected options and did the fitting. HSL were diligent, responsive and knowledgeable at every stage. Excellent customer service all round.
A Happy Shopping Experience
Busines was done professionally, efficiently and pleasantly from beginning to end. It was like welcoming a friend to your home. Fiona took me through all the facts I needed to know about the chairs they had brought and so decision making was easy. I didn't feel at all rushed or pressurised. I had bought HSL chairs before from the Edinburgh shop which is sadly closed now so I knew the quality was good. The experience there was equally good. An excellent firm to do business with.
The HSL experience was first class from start to finish
First class service from the start to the end of Fiona’s visit to our house. Fiona our Comfort Specialist Andy the driver plus one other person arrived on time. All were very friendly and nothing was a bother. They brought 2 riser recliners a standard and a grand for us to try. We are now looking forward to the delivery of new chairs and sofa.

I accompanied David to purchase his new chair. The saleswoman was very informative and gave us time to look around the showroom. David was given the chair remote and tried out all the different positions in the rise and recliner chair. He was so comfortable he fell asleep while the paperwork was being prepared. He was advised that he would need the extra petite chair ( they only had petite in stock in the style he had picked) and the saleswoman brought a little ledge to put under his feet which made the chair the perfect height. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend HSL Bathgate to family and friends looking to purchase a good quality chair.

Rise and recline
From the first phone call to John coming to our home can’t be faulted, we were not hurried or pressured into making a decision.
Fireside chairs
Staff friendly and helpful. Disappointed that the chair i had picked wasn't in the showroom for me to try. Also found out it wasn't in any of the shops in scotland or Ireland. Maybe shouldn't be in the brochure if not able to try it.
Home visit from Andy and colleague…
Home visit from Andy and colleague (can’t remember his name) who brought two different chairs for my husband to try. We felt very happy and confident to go ahead and order one of the chairs. Andy did a thorough check with my husband to make sure it was a good fit for him and explained everything to us clearly. I felt he had great product knowledge and gave us time to consider everything. it was good to hear someone speak so highly of their company and it gave us further confidence. We now look forward to the chair coming. Huge thank you to both men who worked very hard and couldn't have been more helpful.

Reference I49688
Reference I49688. The home appointment was booked very soon after the request. Julie brought several chairs with her, but quickly identified the one which she thought would be most suitable. Her assessment was accurate. Julie was very pleasant, professional in her approach, and very knowledgeable about the product. We had previously purchased a chair from HSL & had a very high opinion of the company. Our experience on this occasion enhanced that.
Review of visit to Bathgate Branch
The lady assistant who dealt with us was marvellous. It was worth the trip if only to meet her. She was also efficient, helpful and knowledgeable
Great Experience
Visited Bathgate shop on Saturday and was greeted by Fiona, I was looking for a stressless chair, ordered one but when I returned home my Husband did not like the chair or colour I picked, so phoned Head Office on the Monday to let them know that I wanted to change my order. Fiona sorted everything out and redone my order, not many places would have done that and Fiona was very patient and understanding.
