About HSL Chairs - St. Leonards on Sea
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.

Janet was great
Janet was great. I had an idea of what I wanted and she took me through some options. She was patient, discussing various sofa sizes and materials. She was very knowledgeable and took time with me. Having decided on a sofa we went through everything and I now await my new sofa
Professional, friendly and relaxed way to buy a chair
My wife has had several lower back operations so wanted to buy a new Stressless chair to give her the comfort and support needed. HSL has a good reputation so visited their Hastings location where we found a small but exclusive Stressless range to try. Lesley, the manager, gave us her full attention and professional advice - we didn't know that HSL trains its staff in aspects of occupational therapy, so her advice turned out to be very useful. There was no 'sales patter' or push to make a decision; we could take as much time as we needed (coming back for a second visit was also welcomed). We were able to buy our preferred chair in a really relaxed, friendly, professional and efficient environment - did I mention the coffee and biscuits too?
great customer service
Veronica greeted us warmly into the shop. Listened to our request and showed us exactly what we wanted. She gave us all the information and all the different chair coverings available. Veronica also advised on the most suitable height of chair for my husbands needs. Veronica explained everything thoroughly with a friendly and professional manner.
Exceptional Service
From start to finish the service was FLAWLESS. Excellent, high quality product; modern and extremely comfortable. Incredible, friendly and helpful customer support in store and on the phone. Easy and effortless delivery and assembly thanks to Martin and Leon. Not a single bad thing to say. Would 100% use them again!

Brilliant service from your assistant Andrea. Explained everything clearly and offered good advice. Price very competitive , better quality than other high street retailers.
Good buying experience
Liz was very helpful and not at all pushy and overbearing which is a welcome relief after looking around other furniture stores.It can make a purchase rather an ordeal if the customer is not left alone for more than a few minutes. So far so good!
HSL recliner chairs
I was impressed with the level of knowledge and training that gave me the confidence to purchase a chair for my wife, after being enlightened by all of the options available to me.
Excellent service
We bought the chair at your St Leornards branch. Excellent service from the staff, they were very knowledgeable and gave good advice on the appropriate choice for my mother
Comfortable chair
Friendly helpful delivery operatives Wayne and Andy set chair where I wanted it and connected to power supply ready to use. Completely satisfied
Very happy with the staff
Very happy with the staff, who helped my wife and I chose the chairs that best suited our particular needs.
Thank you.
Bums on Seats, a new perspective!
First class showroom experience, no rush, no pressure, with experienced guidance for what we required.
Follow up likewise.
Delivery guys, ANDY & WAYNE were also very professional with set-up and advice.
All good. Thank you
Great products, Great company.
The staff could not have been more welcoming or helpful and I was given a very detailed explanation of their extensive range of chairs, as well as having plenty of time to try them out. The chair I ordered was delivered on time, I was given detailed instructions on how it worked and it is very comfortable.
HSL getting better
From entering the shop in Hastings, ordering and delivery excellent service. Ashley and Jason were great - no faff just got on with getting the bed in and setting it up. This is our third purchase from HSL and can see a distinct improvement in their focus on quality and customer service.
Great personalised experience with HSL
Great experience with HSL thus far. (We are due our delivery of the chair in the coming weeks). Liz looked after us and was very patient with all our questions. Liz was very knowledgeable with the types of chair available, their benefits and the best one for us. I didn’t realise that my feet should be on the floor when sitting on an armchair! Great she had all this postural knowledge, as per their training with an occupational therapist. Liz explained everything clearly and we were surprised to get all the professional paperwork that went with our quote and final order. It’s great you have time to think about the product and can then make changes before you definitely decide what you want. Really pleased with HSL. It’s such a personalised experience that you just wouldn’t get from a normal furniture shop. Can’t wait for our comfy armchair to arrive.
