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

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.

Superb
The service we have received from HSL has been superb from start to finish, culminating in a timely delivery by Paul & Ian. They were friendly, accommodating & helpful.
I would recommend the company wholeheartedly. Thank you to all involved.
Delivery and assembly of adjustable bed
Bed delivered and assembled today by Craig and Jed. They arrived when promised; went out of their way to prepare the room; were very careful negotiating narrow doorways and stairs, such that there was no damage; were polite; worked quickly and efficiently; explained and demonstrated the features of the bed. Excellent service. Nothing to fault.
Excellent chairs
We arrived at the york shop and was shown around by Diane. She showed us all the chairs with different combinations of fabrics and leathers, also all the movement the chairs were capable of. We were very grateful as she made us feel very welcome and we would definitely recommend the store to friends.

Poor quality Chairs
In September 2022 I bought two Hamilton Swivel Recliners (£2000). On my chair the cushion collapsed so that it is like sitting on a piece of wood. The cushion has a 5 year guarantee but HSL say that its natural settlement and don't want to know. So even though its only two and a half years old (and with a 5 year guarantee), they have washed their hands of it. They tell me I can get an independent assessment from a firm that they recommend (yeah right) and if they find the cushion is faulty they will refund the £85 for the assessment. Fat chance of a firm that works for HSL, gets most of their business from HSL, finding in my favour. I wouldn't touch HSL with a barge pole. Following further email conversation with Simon Watson of HSL Customer Care, he says the cushion would be expected to settle over several years. I've had the chair for 2 years and 4 months, so basically paid £1000 for something not fit for purpose. I would recommend avoiding HSL, especially if you want furniture that will last.

Great from start to finish!
We actually (and actively) enjoyed each aspect or phase of our purchase. Each of the members of your team that we interacted with was polite, good natured and helpful.
Ian and Paul - who delivered our chair today were, like all of your staff, friendly and efficient. They arrived exactly when they said they would, screwed the feet on and carried the chair in to the room safely and carefully.
Positive and cheerful delivery
Phone call in advance with accurate arrival time. Cheerful friendly men called Ian and Paul coped with an awkward entrance and hallway with a bend without fuss or issue. Furniture set up, checked and rubbish removed all whilst having a humorous chat
Excellent delivery service
We ordered the chair three days ago and today it has been delivered. We are delighted with the delivery service. Craig and Terry arrived at the time agreed, they were friendly and efficient. The chair was built and demonstrated very quickly and we couldn't be happier. the chair is exactly what we were looking for and looks good in the room with our other furniture.
Personal attention
Personal attention, and good delivery, they even moved my old chair for me

HSL York - excellent
We visited HSL York on 3rd March. The Client Consultant, Diana, who dealt with our enquiries was incredibly professional and very welcoming. She helped so much and nothing was too much trouble. We got a quote on the 3rd, had decided upon a Helmsley armchair for my husband, and returned on the 4th to place the order. It was a very good experience visiting the store and this was all due to Diana’s expertise and kindness too. There’s an excellent range of furniture to choose from at HSL. Look forward to the delivery of the armchair. Many thanks.
