About HSL Chairs - Newcastle-upon-Tyne
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.

Had previously never come across HSL
Had previously never come across HSL. Initially we were interested in seeing/trying the ‘Stressless’ brand of which the showroom had 3 types. A warm friendly greeting was given on entering, Tim listened to our thoughts & showed us our options giving us sound knowledge of the product. Without any pressure at any point, he also showed us HSL’s own version/design, then left us alone to try everyone & discuss. We were given a choice of refreshments. Once we had made our decision, Tim dealt with the purchase efficiently. Disappointed America Express not accepted. Originally given up to 14 days delivery date, we were contacted the next day to say our 2 new chairs would be delivered in 4 days ! Excellent communication regarding time slot. The delivery was completed quickly , with no mess, by 2 friendly men who took all packaging away.
It gave us a warm feeling to support a family run Yorkshire business who produce quality furniture.
No pressure, just help and advice.
We recently visited the Newcastle upon Tyne store and received a very warm welcome from professional and knowledgeable staff. We made a purchase on our second visit and managed to meet every single member of the Team who could not do enough to help us. We appreciated the relaxed atmosphere and the fact that there is no hard sell and plenty of time to make your mind up.
Quality British manufactued furniture too!
We definitely recommend the store which has a good range of chairs to try along with great fabric selection and adjustable beds.
Thank you to the Team of Emma, Emma, Suzanne, Alison, Tim and Amanda for making our purchase easier.

I ordered the chair from the Newcastle upon Tyne store and was very impressed with Alison who handled the purchase.
HSL Blaydon (Newcastle)
Exceptional service from Suzanne and Amanda. Cannot fault the help we had. Chair delivered next day, and had a phone call to say they were refunding some of our money, as the chair was ex-display, which we didn't realise as the condition was excellent. We were happy with the initial price, but even more so with the refund. How many companies would do this? Cannot praise them enough. Thank you HSL, and especially Suzanne and Amanda from the Blaydon store.
Professional Company
Good customer service. Delivery as promised and very efficiently handled. A good, professional company.
Emma was really attentive
Emma was really attentive, knowledgeable and took her time running us through the options. She mentioned she had a background in occupational therapy and that really showed. Looking forward to my throne arriving.
Excellent service from start to finish.
Excellent service from start, Tim in sales, to finish, the delivery team of Danny and Terry. Very happy with our new suite.
Quality as standard
The whole experience with HSL from start to finish was exceptional. The salesman in the shop was courteous, professional, knowledgeable and not pushy at all. The communications from the company were informative but not excessive. Arranging delivery of the chair could not have been easier. And the delivery guys were brilliant.
And most importantly, the chair is superb.
HSL are obviously a company that cares about their customers by delivering excellent customer service and producing a quality product.

HSL are a brilliant company
HSL are a brilliant company. We had excellent service at the shop.The staff answered all our questions about the furniture and were very patient and knowledgeable.
The delivery team ( Carl and Damian) were excellent.
A very good retail experience
Pleased with the chair. Very nice company all round to deal with. Knowledgeable and professional showroom staff who could answer all questions. Emma and Alison gave lots of time and help, but without me feeling pressurised or rushed, so feel confident that right choice made.
Delivery staff (Carl and Damion) were very pleasant, competent and considerate.
Suggestions: I was only interested in the 'on offer' chairs which have a very limited fabric choice. It would have helped if larger pieces of these fabrics were available to help judge suitability.
Also, my two (separate) orders have been dispatched in different loads, even though all the chairs were ready to go.
