Ideal Bench Height For Comfort And Posture
Normal bench height generally ranges from 16 to 19 inches (40 to 48 centimeters). This height provides adequate support for most individuals’ thighs while allowing their feet to rest comfortably on the floor. When sitting on a bench, knees should be slightly lower than hips, and thighs should be parallel to the ground. This posture promotes good spinal alignment, reduces pressure on the back and legs, and minimizes the risk of discomfort or injury.
