About the Business

Chairs Built To Suit the Person Sitting in It

Hetleys was founded by David Devoy in 2012. From day one, the focus has been on solving real problems. Most office chairs are built for an average person who does not actually exist. Our chairs are built around the person sitting in them.

We make our custom seating ranges right here in the UK. Every chair carries at least a five-year guarantee. We work closely with Access to Work, occupational health teams, DSE assessors and the NHS. Our customers range from people working from a home office to public sector buyers fitting out hundreds of staff.

We are not the biggest name in ergonomic furniture. We do not try to be. We would rather be known for getting it right than for shifting volume.

About David

40 Years in the Chair

David runs Hetleys. He is the person who picks up the phone, works on assessments, and answers your emails. After 40 years working in ergonomic seating, he has seen more problems than most and built solutions for the ones he had not.

David always says he is not interested in selling you a chair that won't do the job. If your back, your hips or your work pattern need something different, he will build it. 

His approach is simple.

  • Listen first
  • Measure properly
  • Recommend honestly
  • Adjust until it works

The right chair should solve problems, not create them. I'd rather tell someone a product isn't right for them than sell them something that won't do the job. We start by listening, measuring properly and understanding how they work, then we tailor the seating until it feels right.

Hetleys Chair Clinic

Our Facility

The Chair Clinic

The Chair Clinic is where we sit down with you and work out what you actually need. It is not a showroom. You do not wander between rows of chairs hoping one fits.

  • We assess you and talk through your workday
  • We look at any pain or medical issues
  • We trial chairs that are likely to suit
  •  We have a ‘build your own chair’ facility in our clinic where we can match any seat base with any back and try it right there and then.

We then order your specific chair and have it built to your specifications in around 2 weeks. No big shipping delays and weeks for an appointment.

You leave with a clear recommendation. We have chairs that can suit 99% of the population and if not, we will measure you and quote you on the spot.

Our Specialism

We have spent years building chairs for people who do not fit a standard office chair. These ranges are not add ons. They are a core part of what we do, and we keep developing them based on what our customers tell us they need.

Menopause & Temperature

Women navigating menopause and managing temperature regulation during long working hours.

Medical & Post-Surgery

People with prostate issues, piles or those recovering from surgery who need specialist support.

Disability & Mobility

People with disabilities who need to transfer from a wheelchair or require a motorised seating solution.

ADHD & Sensory Needs

Adults with ADHD or anyone who struggles to sit still and needs movement-friendly seating.

Plus-Size & Bariatric

Users who need a chair engineered to take the load, with robust frames and generous dimensions.

Complex Postural Conditions

Anyone with complex back, hip or postural conditions requiring a fully bespoke seating solution.
