About HSL Chairs - Southend
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.

Excellent service
We visited their Southend branch this weekend. Emma was incredibly helpful, patient and kind with my elderly mother and me.
She was very knowledgeable and we are very happy with the chair that we have chosen.
There was a great selection and we did not feel under any pressure to make quick decisions.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for or assisting an elderly relative/friend in buying a new chair/sofa.

HSL Furniture
Tracey & Jasmine, at the Rayleigh branch, were really helpful, knowledgeable and were not pushy at all, they left us alone to look around the showroom to try all the chairs and settees. Very efficient and made sure my husbands rise & recline chair was the correct size for him. We went in for a chair but in the end decided to buy 2 chairs and a matching settee as they were so comfortable. Thank you ladies.

Excellent and warm service
We received wonderful service from Emma and her colleagues at Southend in choosing a suitable chair. It was evident that Emma's prime interest was our wellbeing. The staff were efficient and professional at the same time as being charming. We felt relaxed and able to take our time in coming to a decision and are delighted with the comfort of the chair. We highly recommend this store.

The customer service we received was…Second to none!!
The customer service we received was second to none. We were offered tea and biscuits and felt like we had known the sales staff for years. I want to thank Emma and Tracey at the Rayleigh branch for their outstanding customer service and support. I was in the shop for at least an hour and all of it was amazing. Thankyou ladies.
