Storage Bench With Cushion (2023)

FAQs

Can you sit on a storage bench? ›

The perfect dual-purpose furniture, a storage bench offers both streamlined storage and seating. Whether it's for storing shoes, toys or accessories, storage benches are designed with storage space underneath and a seating area on top (sometimes with a cushion for extra comfort).

On average, bench length can range from 42 and 60 inches (107-152 cm). A bench within the 42 to 50 inch (127 cm) range is able to seat two people. How tall are benches? The height of a bench is typically between 18 and 20 inches (46-51 cm).

The size of an entryway bench will depend on the type, style, and purpose you are looking for. Generally speaking, most entryway benches measure between 45-60 inches in length and 16-20 inches in width.

Whether you want a chiseled six-pack or simply want to improve your core strength, a sit up bench is a fantastic option to help you reach your goals.

This means a 75mm bench cushion plus a normal height bench gives you a good, balanced height, whilst also being a comfortable solution. If you are taller you might consider a 100mm or even a 150mm custom made bench cushion for greater comfort and protection from the hard bench underneath.

The standard bench width is between 42" and 60" and depends on the number of people you are looking to seat. For reference, a 42" – 52" bench can accommodate two adults comfortably. A bench between 53" and 80" wide is typically for three adults, and a bench more than 80" wide tends to accommodate four.

For a larger number of people, you will have to go with a bench that measures up to 80” wide. Height is another dimension to consider. Counter height benches are typically 24 – 27” measuring from the floor to the seat. For a standard dining table, you will want the ideal bench height to be 16 – 23” high.

If you are installing a built-in bench into your entryway, mix different finishes—such as natural wood and paint—for a more custom, designer-like look. If you use a bench with a simple design, pop it with pillows that have an interesting print, add some whimsical artwork, or use a patterned floor tile.

We've teed up attractive, storage-savvy benches for every entry spot in the house, from the foyer to the mudroom. By. Jilli Cluff.

A bench or accent table is always my starting point when designing the decor in an entryway or foyer. A bench allows a place to sit and is very usable within this area. Normally, this is where you will put on and take off your shoes, so a bench not only looks good, but it is functional and just makes sense.
