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.

Absolutely excellent from the lady who dealt with in an honest knowledgeable way listening to our needs(sorry can’t remember her name in Henley). Delivery was sooner than expected and on the day both Martin and Jack could not be more friendly and helpful. Excellent customer focus from start to finish.

Easy to choose
We needed chairs to cater for our needs now that we are older. Ordered a catalogue to look at then visited the store in Henley. Good choice of chairs to try and fabrics to choose from. Samples available to take home. Staff very patient and helpful.
Jack and Martin delivered and assembled the chairs. Very efficient and helpful. Chairs very comfortable.

Great service from start to finish!
Great service from start to finish! The chap in the shop was extremely helpful and patient ensuring mum got exactly what she wanted/needed. The delivery guys let me know 20 before arrival so that I could get to mums before delivery. They were really friendly and explained everything so mum felt totally comfortable. Would highly recommend

Helpful staff
The staff at the Henley on Thames shop were very helpful and let me try out the chairs for a long time. Then some other staff from Milton Keynes came to the house to help me decide the fabric which I found most useful rather than choosing in the shop.

Professional, reliable company
We bought a dual-control adjustable bed with Hypnos mattresses. At every stage, interaction with HSL was good: in the showroom, by phone and email and finally when the bed was delivered and assembled by Edwin and Garry, who arranged for the replacement of a damaged slat. And the bed is lovely!
