About HSL Chairs - Poole/Bournemouth
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.

Poole/ Bournemouth branch …
Was impressed with the Poole/ Bournemouth branch of HSL. Was served by trainee James who managed the whole purchase of what I required very well indeed. There was no pressure, all my questions he answered very clearly. I did not go into the store with the clear intention of buying but in the end purchased a reclining chair. The whole experience was very good.

Excellent attention and help without being intrusive.
Good posture while sitting and relaxing
This is my second purchase of chairs from HSL Bournemouth showroom.
The staff are efficient and friendly and they observe how you sit while drinking a coffee. This is important in order to acertain the correct posture for the chair of your choice.
There is no sales pressure to buy, they prefere that you go away and think about it before making a purchase.
In my opinion
In my opinion, Mary was a first class saleswoman. I was extremely happy with her service. I would recommend any of my friends and family going to HSL to ask for Mary.

Purchase a 2 seater and chair from HSL…
Purchase a 2 seater and chair from HSL and was advised to take out the Gardsman protection plan which we did.
On delivery no cleaning kit,was told it would arrive in 1 week. 1 week passed no kit made phone call was promise kit will be with you within a week. No kit arrived.
Phoned yet again kit haven't been ordered but we will guarantee you will receive it ASAP and they are going to refund the kit costs.
After spending £4000 on 2 chairs lm not that concerned about a refund all l want is the cleaning kit or else the warranty is invalid.
Extremely poor service no one takes responsibility or ownership for the constant failure to supply what was sold.
My suggestion is save your money and don't take the cleaning/ protection plan.

Visited the Poole branch today to buy 2 rise and recline chairs. Mary meeted us as we entered and listened to the requirements we both needed. She then proceeded to show us all the chairs and try each one out to see whether it met our requirements. On trying all the chairs we decided on 2 Aysgarth chairs and then chose the fabric from a fantastic choice. Throughout the whole experience can't praise Mary enough for her knowledge of each of the chairs and her patience even offering tea an biscuits whilst we decided. Would definitely recommend this company and staff
Professional and supportive
We were most impressed by Emma’s professionalism and her supportive approach. We felt that she was committed to ensuring that the chair we chose was right for me.
First class experience
First class experience. We were looked after by Mary, who was knowledgeable, helpful, professional and friendly.
She made our visit very easy, taking the time to explain everything. The complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits were a really nice touch.
