Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Everything was explained by Jason in a professional but friendly manner. He was courteous and patient. Although the final cost is higher than i budgeted it's worth it for the quality product.

Helpful and friendly staff

Phil who served us was very helpful and gave us all the advice needed. He took time to demonstrate the functions of the different chairs we were looking at in order for us to choose the right product for my elderly mum.

I visited the Portwood (Stockport)…

I visited the Portwood (Stockport) store with my mum who’s in her eighties. We were greeted by Jason who immediately engaged with my Mum to find out what she wanted. None of this was pushy or overbearing and put us both at ease. We identified the right size of chair and Jason took mum through the options. He also tried different sizes with her to ensure that the fit was correct.
Before she selected her options Jason also showed her a different range to ensure that she’d chosen correctly. Mum’s feedback was that his service was 11/10!

Excellent Experience - Home Visit.

We arranged a home visit from HSL. The appointment was set up within days. The representatives turned up on time and gave updates prior to arrival.
The client is 95 years old with mobility issues. Philip Clarke from the from the Stockport branch was very professional and personable. He took time to ensure the best fit and gave clear concise advice on the product ( Helmsley Grande).
It was a lovely stress free experience. The chair is beautiful and a purchase was arranged.
Thank you HSL and thank you Philip
Clarke.
All communication from making the initial phone call to arrange a home visit was really good.

Very disappointed.

I ordered a sofa in October 2025 from hslchairs. As I hadn’t heard anything after 5 weeks, I called to see when I should expect my furniture, I was informed that it was ready and I should expect a call soon. I then received a call a few days later with a delivery date.
The delivery drivers, Gordon and Assad, were very friendly, polite and professional. They had assembled my furniture in around 10 minutes and demonstrated how to use it. They removed all the packaging and left the area clean and tidy. My new furniture looked amazing.
Unfortunately within weeks of using the furniture, which is claimed to help with back support, I have been unable to sit on it due to severe neck and back problems. A few years ago I had 2 spinal surgeries, one in my lower back and one in my neck and I saved up for years to buy a specialist piece of furniture to help with recovery, but there doesn’t seem to be enough lumbar support and the head rest is too bulky, which pushes my neck too far forward where I have a metal plate in my spine/neck. It’s even worse in recliner position.
I haven’t been able to sit on it for the last 3 months, I have complained to HSL as I feel it’s not lived up to expectations, but they say they aren’t obligated to take any action as they sent a technician out, who reported there were no manufacturing issues.
The manufacturing issue is…. the furniture has caused further neck and back problems when it was designed and recommended for posture support, which it has failed to live up to.
I am in my 60’s, with multiple health issues, having spent my savings on a piece of furniture that was meant to relieve my pain, but has left me with nowhere to sit as it’s caused more spinal problems and more hospital appointments and HSL have completely disregarded my concerns, leaving me with nothing to sit on and no funds to replace it with something suitable. I am really disappointed that such a big company can do this to trusting customers and reading through some of the other poor reviews, I know I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Recliner chair purchase

Salesman Richard at the Stockport showroom was really helpful in explaining the various “Stressful” recliner chairs available and in placing our order and keeping us updated on that.
Delivery by Lee and Graham was nice and easy with no issues. First class service.
