HSL Chairs
At HSL, we’ve been supplying high quality, handmade furniture for over 50 years. We’re proud of our heritage, and like to think it gives our customers and employees peace of mind, too. Although our roots remain in Yorkshire, we now have welcoming and modern Comfort Stores throughout the country; but one thing that’s never changed is the passion at the heart of our business. We’re still family-run, and we’re dedicated to providing caring service and excellent value for money. What makes HSL different is that we don’t just sell chairs, we work tirelessly to guide our customers to the comfortable back-care furniture that perfectly meets their needs.
