About HSL Chairs - Southampton
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.

I purchased a chair from HSL and was…really impressed with the choice and the advice given
I purchased a chair from HSL and was delighted with the chair. I took my husband in to the shop to buy a chair.Once again the customer service was outstanding,Patricia .our Client consultation was so helpfuland did not pressurize us at all .We were given plenty of time to make our choice and Patricia helped guide us on the colour and choice of leather as well as advising on the best size of chair.
I highly recommend this company
Patricia was great
Patricia was great. Very knowledgeable throughout the whole process. There was no rush and at no point pushey. Thank Patricia . 5stars from me.
Valentine & Eric arrived to show
Valentine & Eric arrived to show, demonstrate and advise on the best chair for my situation / condition. Nothing was too much trouble and their concern was clearly to make sure that I had the opportunity to choose the right chair at the right price. Also excellent order management when the material I had chosen was no longer immediately available and would add a further 12 weeks to my order. So with some assistance a different material was chosen that did not require a delay to the order. Great service.

Staff was knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. She was very professional and approachable, we were very impressed with the approach to our questions and the empathy shown. All in all a nice experience.
All round great experience
Valentine was on time and extremely courteous. He was very careful and respectful of my property. All of my questions were answered to the best of his ability. His knowledge of what he was showing me was very thorough. The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because there seemed to be a little uncertainty as to when I could place my order.

Good service from a charming sales woman
We liked that Germaine came to the door to welcome us and guided us to a chair that she anticipated would be a good fit for my husband. She clearly explained the features of the chair whilst also covering features of other ones. She also went through the various coverings available We did not feel pressured to make a decision and were left to ponder in peace. Germaine was knowledgable, patient and charming. We bought the chair on the spot.h
Both my husband and myself felt as…
Both my husband and myself felt as though we really mattered to Brian the person that served us. There was no pressure to buy anything it was all about what our personal requirements were. I did notice that if another customer came into the showroom while we were being served one of the members of staff made sure that they felt they were important even if there was nobody to deal with them immediately. That sort of customer care is very important . Brian explained the 7 points that are important when choosing new furniture.
Hopefully the furniture we have chosen will fit our purposes. 10 out of 10 for your excellent service.
Thankyou
Valentine was a great ambassador for…
Valentine was a great ambassador for the company. I have bought chairs from you for the last 12 years, and as a result can live more comfortably with much less backache than before.

Mixed customer service review
Two store staff, Lydia and Michael, provided a very good customer service (Hedge End).
E/gmails responses were not good.
Also, on the 12th February, I phoned and asked for fabric samples of two colours. I was warned that I would have to wait between three and five days. I'm still waiting...

Reply from HSL Chairs - Southampton
HSL are a very professional company to deal with
We visited the store at Hedge End and were greeted by Beth who made us feel very relaxed and welcome. She suggested we look around at the various styles and ask any questions regarding the choice of chair. The whole process was very relaxed and we were under no pressure to purchase. Having made our choice of chair Beth talked us through the style, fabric etc. The whole process was excellent.
Purchasing new furniture from HSL
Friendly courteous and caring. They even allow dogs into the showroom and do not rush or pressure you. One very minor criticism. The delivery charge which is reasonable should be explained earlier.
Great store.
Would like to thank Lydia in the Southampton branch for helping us to choose the right furniture for our needs.
We are both very pleased with our chairs and are happy to recommend this store.
The delivery men were also very good and very professional too.
The service was impeccable
The service was impeccable. Our individual needs were assessed and very helpful guidelines were offered when trying out individual chairs. Germaine spent a lot of time with us talking us through each type of chair until we found the one suitable for our needs. It is great that there is a place still available that you can buy really good quality furniture that is ergonomically sound. So much furniture today is very bad for posture and no thought is given to this on their designs. Well done HSL and Germaine .
