There’s a reason our furniture is ‘feel good’.

We are proud to have worked with the University of Leeds to undertake a research study looking into the physiological impacts of sitting in a HSL chair that fits you.

Our findings offer the peace of mind that the right chair not only contributes to your comfort but will also look after your health and wellbeing for years to come.

Sitting in a HSL chair that fits you:

Reduces heart rate

Increases oxygen flow

Lowers blood pressure

Introducing Dr Andrea Utley.

Dr Andrea is a Reader in Motor Control and Learning in the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Leeds. Dr Utley leads Human Performance at Leeds group which uses a variety of methods and techniques to explore all aspects of human movement and performance.

We've done the research for you

Scientifically proven

“Research conducted at the University of Leeds has shown that sitting in a chair that is an appropriate size for an individual has a number of benefits. Even sitting involves physical effort and if the chair is the right size the physical effort is reduced. This results in a number of physiological benefits and ultimately a restful sit and reduction in fatigue.”
