Knew what we wanted but needed professional advice before choice and purchase. Came from Jon at the Orpington branch who was informative without being pushy. Simple - deal done - thanks Jon.

About HSL Chairs - Orpington
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.

Quality is never an accident
Hello, today I visited Orpington branch. We bought 2 armchair with footstool. Our comfort specialist Jon. He said every single detail for us. I fell like diamonds shop. When I went Amsterdam I visited Royal Coster Diamond factory people like Jon tell every detail and check which color which size which look is true …. I’m so happy buy my armchair HSL and meet with Jon thank you soo much . Quality is never an accident
Good experience

HSL excellent, Burrows not so sure.
HSL store and staff excellent. A relaxed, friendly and pleasant purchasing experience.
I bought a Burrows relax chair, Model Dual R&R. I was told these chairs are made to order hence the waiting time and they are certainly not cheap so I was dissapointed to notice that I appeared to be leaning to the right when I sat down. On close inspection it is quite obvious that the seat cushion is leaning to one side.
HSL put me in touch with a third party company who deal with problems and they are booked to visit.
It is a concern to me that a new chair costing more than £2,000 is immediately in need of remedial work and I question if thorough checks are carried out before dispatch. On delivery the guy who installed the chair commented that he needed to check the cables because sometimes the factory staff are less than careful with routing the cables away from the mechanism.
A couple of points to note that would improve the user experience.
1) The on/off switch on the side of the remote control is very hard to slide to the point that it would prove difficult to operate for someone with frail hands.
2) A memory function on the remote control would be a real bonus so the seat could automatically be restored to the previous seating position.

Staff at show room were patient with me[a very old lady with hearing problems].I was able to take home fabric samples to see what would meld in with present furniture.
The men who delivered my chair were patient too.

Ros quickly worked out what we needed and guided us to making a very nice 3 piece suite.
We wanted seats with high backs but did not realise that seats had a choice of heights.

So nice to get such great customer service - very rare these days. A lot of time was spent ensuring that the footplate was the correct length for my husband. Thank you

Relaxed and easy bed purchase.
We visited the Orpington branch today to buy an adjustable bed. Christine and John were very welcoming and made the whole experience relaxed and easy. They explained the options and did not pressure us at all. They even provide coffee and biscuits. Excellent service.
There was a small car park at the back of the store which was very helpful.

I purchased a Glenmore…
On 11.02.2026 I purchased a Glenmore armchair. This was on my second visit. The first visit, the week before, I called in the view and seek assitance and that is what I got. 5-star assistance. I was met by Ellie, who enquired what I was looking for, and she eventually showed me the type of chair I should consider, given my height. I was left to sit in the 4 styles shown to me to make up my mind. I was offered tea and biscuits as well. I made some enquiries of Ellie, who answered them without issue. When I had to leave to attend another appoinment I did so and returned later. I was seen by Christine, who was equallt and as helpfull. She provided a quote, and I went off to consider this. On 11/02/2026, I returned to purchase mt chair. Christine was present and sevred me. She answered a few questions and them the deal was done. The whole experience was (excuse the pun) comfortable. Both ladies were professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They made me feel like I was the person who needed help and assistance, something not often felt in high streets these days. All in all, a truly pleasant visit and purchase. I shall now wait for delivery.
Excellent service by Ros
