Designing the perfect adjustable bench

Designing the perfect adjustable bench. Does the perfect bench exist? I don’t think so and here is how I would design it if I could!

This video goes through what I think the perfect bench would look like because currently I don’t think it exists. I do think there are many good benches out there though but none are perfect!

Here are some of the features I’d like to see and all are in the video.

Height: 17″

Width: 12″

Pad length: 38″

Angles: 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 85 at a minimum

Seat angles: 30, 20, 10, 0, -7, -15 at a minimum

Attachment ports on the front, back, and sides

Attachment ports to fit multiple size attachments both vertical and horizontal

Bench under $500 in 2026 dollars

Slim profile back legs

Stability bar for back pad that folds away

Small gap (no need for zero gap)

Ladders preferred but either would be ok
