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.

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.

Took elderly parents to Stockton shop to look for chairs today. Ali & Steph (who was training) were both amazing, understood needs of both Mam & Dad quickly, made them feel at ease, taking lots of time to explain the options of chairs on offer and what each could do, allowing them to time to try each so they could make the right choice. They worked out best deal and explained cost, delivery times etc…great service by two lovely, knowledgeable ladies would definitely recommend HSL Stockton to all.

HSL Stockton are Great!
I was looking for a riser Recliner chair for my Partner and after seeing an advert on TV, I decided to give HSL at Stockton a go. On atrival, I was greeted promptly by Wendy and made to feel very welcome. She introduced me to her colleague Jackie and advised us to have a look at their range. I felt quite overwhelmed by the choice and I was unsure of what I even wanted. Both Wendy and Jackie were brilliant, showing me what was available, what offers were on certain chairs and explaining different motor specs and how they matched my needs. Within half an hour, they'd convinced me what to buy and explained the whole process from purchase to delivery. Afterwards, I felt very confident in my purchase and reassured that I'd bought what I needed. The complimentary biscuits and tea were a lovely touch. Wendy and Jackie are an absolute credit to HSL Stockton, both are knowledgeable, friendly and extremely helpful. I felt in very safe hands with both of them - excellent customer service.

Quality and service excellent
Nothing was too much trouble when my Aunt's furniture was delivered. Fantastic service, very pleasant.
Quality as expected. Brilliant!
Excellent service, great staff
John and Luke (Stockton branch) were excellent today. They explained everything in great detail, answered all my questions and helped me choose the right furniture for me. They were extremely professional, caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. All in all a very positive, pleasurable experience. Being able to test and choose furniture in my own home was fantastic!
John and Wendy from the Stockton Branch
John and Wendy from the Stockton branch were awesome when they did our home visit. No hard sell just fabulous professional advice. Brought the swashes and chairs in with care and gave great advice. Thanks for the help guys. My mam has medical issues and they were great with advice and guidance.
John & Jacque a credit to your team..
From the moment we met John & Jacque they were professional, efficient, caring and knowledgeable. Nothing was a trouble even suggesting a second visit to get the correct fit. They are a credit to your team. Thank you

Ease of order & delivery
Ease of order & delivery. All round excellent customer service, delivery drivers included.
Highly recommend. Mum loves the chair!
The staff at Stockton,Allison and co…
The staff at Stockton,Allison and co were very welcoming,not at all like most furniture saleroom staff. They are not pushy and in fact they make a good cup of tea! I have made three visits, one with my wife who has dementia,and she was treated very well. I originally intended to get two fireside type chairs but after considering everything i have ordered two riser recliners.These have cost a pretty sum but I think they will be worth it.
