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

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 store.
The store is beautifully set out. Greeted at the door by Kevin and was shown around. Kevin explained to my 92 year old Dad about the chair and how it worked. My dad ended up buying a three piece suite (we only went to look). Excellent service, thank you.
Such a lovely experience
Such a lovely experience, okay we were there to buy but nothing was too much trouble. The addition of a baby did not ruffle anyone's feathers. The knowledge of the assistant was excellent. After considerable discussion a decision was made. We could not have been looked after any better.

HSL Henley-on-Thames
We visited the Henley-on-Thames store about ten days ago to choose two new recliner chairs to replace an ageing settee. Kevin was very helpful, showing us the chairs we were interested in and offering a lot of information. We made some initial decisions and requested leather samples which were sent promptly by post.
We returned to the store having made up our minds over the colour and the style of the bases and Kevin placed the order quickly. Looking forward to our new chairs.
Received phone call confirming delivery…
Received phone call confirming delivery time. Martin and Leon set up the chair quickly and effectively. Very pleased with the fireside chair.
Absolutely amazing company
Absolutely amazing company. Needed a reclining chair very rapidly. Visited the store in Henley where everybody was extremely kind and there was a wide range of chairs. The decision was made very quickly with the help of Kevin.
The chair was delivered within three working days by Martin and Leon. It was assembled easily and all the instructions given. An extra touch was the addition of cleaning products for the chair.
I slept in the chair overnight and it was the best sleep I've had in three months. Thank you, everybody at HSL. What a professional group of people.
Kindness first
I took my 94 year old mum for a chair fitting. The lovely Anthony met us at the door and guided us through the process. So kind and patient. Thanks.
Great Service and Quality
My wife and I visited the Henley-on-Thames store on 21st July 2025. We had already done our homework with other stores also selling recliner chairs. From first entering HSL Henley, the aura was professional with Quality goods in settings very well displayed. Having worked in the trade on sales, gave me the edge over an average customer. I disclosed this to Katherine who welcomed the challenge. I sat back and let Katharine do her Pitch. Katharine went into detail gathering information on our needs, specially to my wife who required particular consideration regarding her health and comfort needs plus measurements, but within our budget. Taking all this on board we decided on a Ripley Powered Recliner and a Ripley Manual Recliner both covered in Pisa-Zinc fabric with Natural Oak Knuckles. The deal finally struck I am pleased to say was within budget-just. We took delivery today Thursday 28 August. the two chaps phoned in advance, were on time, again totally professional, installed, and explained the working details of the chairs and removed all packaging. All together a great shopping experience, we will certainly visit the store again, and would recommend HSL to anyone. Thank you all.
Good knowledge of products
Kathryn was very helpful to me today. She was able to get me into the best size chair for me and gave good advice on colours. Thank you
