How much should a weight bench cost?

Weight benches can cost anywhere from around $75 to $700 and up. However, a higher price point doesn’t always mean a better bench. “You don’t necessarily need to break the bank for a solid option,” Betts says. Focus on finding a bench that meets your needs in terms of height, angle, and weight capacity. If you’re shopping on a budget, remember that you can start with something simple and build out your setup over time, Betts says.

What can I use as a weight bench at home?

In a pinch, many pieces of furniture—like chairs, couches, and beds—can double as a workout bench. Look for a piece of furniture that’s heavy and sturdy enough to support your weight, plus the weight of whatever you’re lifting. “Make sure the furniture is stable and does not slide around,” Betts says. Also, think about your form as you work out. A couch may be heavy and sturdy enough, but if the cushions are so plush that you can’t maintain proper posture, it’s probably not a suitable substitution for a weight bench.

How do you use a weight bench?

There are many different ways to use a weight bench. You can lie on your back to use it for upper-body exercises or core work. Or, you can lie on your stomach to use it for upper-back exercises. You can also stand over it for other exercises, like bent-over rows and squats. And you can sit on it for exercises like biceps curls . You can even use it to elevate your feet or hands during push-ups.

How do you clean a weight bench?

Weight benches are typically easy to clean, thanks to their durable upholstery and materials. Simply wipe down your weight bench using a disinfectant wipe or a paper towel and disinfectant spray after each workout, and you should be good to go.

The 11 Best Weight Benches of 2023, Tested in Our Lab

Verywell Fit Best Weight Benches Test — Verywell Fit / Conor Ralph

Weight benches can expand the options for your home gym by helping you tackle classic weightlifting exercises, like bench presses and bent-over rows. They can also add elevation to bodyweight exercises, including push-ups, crunches, and more. “A weight bench is a versatile piece of equipment for everyone,” Evan Betts, CPT, founding trainer at GRIT BXNG, says. “You can do a variety of bench workouts that target your back, legs, or chest—all from one piece of workout equipment.”

Weight benches have a range of different features, and it's important to find one that suits your needs. Betts recommends choosing a bench with an adjustable incline to tackle different muscle groups. One with built-in storage is good for those with minimal space. “There are solid options out there for every budget,” Betts says. “You can also find something basic to start and add on over time.” Sturdiness, a high weight capacity, and a non-slip base are safety features you'll also want to consider.

To select our top choices, we spent 16 hours testing 25 weight benches, completing five exercises on each bench, in The Verywell Testing Lab. We did so under the supervision of a certified personal trainer, Kern Alexander, NASM-CPT, who also tested a few benches himself.

Based on our test, here are the best weight benches on the market.

Pros

24 adjustable positions
Foldable
600-pound weight capacity

Cons

No decline positions

Our best overall pick is the Flybird Adjustable Bench because it's crafted with sturdy steel, can handle up to 600 pounds, and folds up for storage. We gave the bench a 5 out of 5 for adjustability, affordability, comfort, extra features, and overall value, making it an easy top choice. Our tester noted that the bench was simple to set up right out of the box. At only 21 pounds and with an attached handle, this bench is easy to move around, so you can take your workout almost anywhere.

The bench’s seat is filled with plush foam and covered in durable synthetic leather, which makes it both comfortable and easy to clean. The feet are lined with non-slip rubber, meaning the FLYBIRD bench is stable and safe to use on hardwood floors.

Testing Notes: “Highly recommend. It is fully adjustable, lightweight, portable, collapsible and comfortable—everything you could ever ask from a workout bench.”

We like that you can adjust the bench 24 different ways for a more versatile workout, thanks to the backrest with six different positions and the seat, which has four. This allows you to use it as an incline bench or a flat bench—however, the bench has no decline positions.

PASYOU's Adjustable Weight Bench is foldable and can be used as a flat bench, an incline bench, and a decline bench. This budget-friendly bench scored a 5 out of 5 for stability, portability, comfort, extra features, and overall value. With a backrest that can shift into eight different positions, this bench is versatile enough for all kinds of total body exercises.

Testing Notes: “This would be a welcome addition to a home gym. Very easy to adjust, and the extra features had me thinking the price point would be closer to $500.”

Since the bench boasts a 500-pound weight capacity, we like that you won't have to swap it out when you start tackling heavier lifts. We also love that it’s foldable and only weighs 26 pounds, making it easy to move and store. Our tester noted that the bench felt very stable and that the padding and added neck pillow were firm, but comfortable.

Pros

Cons

Height isn’t adjustable
No decline positions

The Zeno Bench PRO has a large weight capacity and comes with three pairs of 15-pound, 30-pound, and 50-pound resistance bands, making it an all-in-one option. The bench also comes with two handles, an ankle strap, and an accessory bag that can all be stored inside, while the attached wheels make it easy to move around.

This bench is simple to set up using the included instruction booklet, and the accessories easily clip onto the sturdy, attached D-rings. Our tester noted that while the backrest is easy to adjust, the bench is low to the ground and the height can’t be adjusted. This could make it harder to do certain exercises, like incline rows, or make the bench more difficult for taller exercisers to use. But it is ideal for other exercises, like weighted hip thrusts, that require a bench that's lower to the ground for optimal form.

Testing Notes: “It's sturdy, lightweight, and includes a lot of accessories. It’s also easy to figure out—perfect for someone who doesn't do a lot of bench exercises, but who would like to try them.”

This bench scored a 5 out of 5 for comfort thanks to its sturdy but plush seat. We also like that it is padded all the way around the sides for added comfort and safety. It's a great option for those looking to introduce some weight-training to their fitness routine in addition to cardio and stability training (like exercising on balance boards).

This bench scored a 5 out of 5 for stability, adjustability, comfort, and extra features. It's our top pick for best adjustable, not only because the back has six different angles, but also because the seat and ankle supports can be adjusted independently. Our tester noted how easy it is to make adjustments using the knobs and levers, and how stable the bench felt in each position.

Testing Notes: “It's a great bench that's easy to adjust and incredibly stable, with extra features that make it a really versatile piece of equipment.”

The heavy-duty bench is crafted from commercial-grade steel and boasts a 600-pound weight capacity. While it’s heavier compared to other benches on our list, the Bowflex Stowable Bench has built-in wheels on one end to make it easier to move. Our tester did note that setup could be challenging, especially without an extra pair of hands. But we love that the bench can be stored upright in the corner of a room if you’re short on space.

Pros

800-pound weight capacity
Tall backrest
Easy to set up

Cons

Leg hold isn’t padded

This sturdy bench has an 800-pound weight capacity, a 33.5-inch tall backrest, and can fold up to a slim 9-inch depth for easy storage under a bed or cabinet. Our tester noted that this bench was very easy to set up, with only one piece to attach, and it scored 5 out of 5 for stability, adjustability, portability, and overall value.

Our tester also said that she felt safe and supported on the SuperMax bench during seated and supine exercises, and even during step-ups. It’s also easy to move the bench around when it’s folded, meaning you can conveniently stash it away when you’re not using it.

Testing Notes: “I don't think you can beat the value for such a stable and easy to adjust bench. I really enjoyed using it, more than the more expensive models.”

We also like how versatile this bench is. The backrest has six adjustable positions, the seat has two adjustable positions, and the bench can be used flat, on an incline, or on a decline. The detachable leg hold bar is not padded but can be adjusted three different ways.

Pros

Legs fold for easy storage

Sturdy

Expensive

Rogue’s Fold-Up Utility Bench is a solid bench with a large, flat surface for exercises like step-ups and chest presses. The wide angle of the legs provides a solid base of support, so the bench won’t wobble, and pins keep the legs locked securely in place for added safety and stability. The legs are also hinged, so you can fold the bench up for storage.

We like that a steel, wall-mounted hanger is included, earning this bench a 5 out of 5 for extra features. When the bench is hanging, it extends only 8 inches from the wall. Our tester noted that the hanger may not be ideal for apartments, but the bench is still slim enough that it could easily slide under a bed or other furniture.

Testing Notes: “Super comfortable cushioning. It has a wide surface that supports my entire torso.”

The Rogue Bench is simple to assemble, but you will need your own tools. While it’s at a higher price point for a non-adjustable bench, it’s worth the investment for its sturdiness and ease of storage.

Taller than other benches

This Flybird Weight Bench can be used as an incline bench, a decline bench, or a flat bench—meaning it gives you the flexibility to tackle a number of exercises, like decline chest presses and angled sit-ups. The seven-position backrest and three-position seat combine to create a total of 21 workout positions, including two declining positions below horizontal.

This bench received a 5 out of 5 for comfort for its plush cushioning. With a 700-pound weight capacity, it’s very sturdy, and our tester felt safe and confident while stepping on the bench. There is an automatic, spring-loaded locking pin that keeps the seat and backrest safely in place. Plus, the bench folds up for easy storage.

Testing Notes: “I would gladly use this bench again (and I've never used a weight bench before!). It’s great for beginners and intermediate exercisers, but it might not have enough features for advanced lifters.”

We like that there’s no assembly necessary for this bench—just unfold it and insert the locking pins. The bench folds up to a compact 9 inches high, so it can easily slide under a bed or couch. But measuring 34.5 inches when set up, this bench is taller than others on our list, so it may take up more space in your home gym.

Narrow backrest

The SuperMax XL bench is specifically designed for taller users, with a 37-inch backrest that can accommodate exercisers up to 6 feet, 4 inches, and help reduce neck and upper back strain. The seat adjusts to three different positions and the backrest adjusts to seven different positions. This bench also has detachable, padded leg rollers that can be adjusted to three positions.

The SuperMax XL bench scored a 5 out of 5 for adjustability and overall value. It boasts no gap between the seat and backrest in all positions, so there’s no pinching or discomfort during exercises like bench presses. Our tester especially appreciated the sliding seat, which most weight benches don’t offer.

Testing Notes: “I would recommend this bench to any intermediate exerciser wanting a wider range of positions that most benches don't offer.”

Assembly was easy with the provided wrench, but the parts are heavy, so it may be easier with two people. The legs are wide and sturdy, and the whole bench folds up for storage. The backrest is narrower than other benches at only 10 inches, but our tester noted that it still allowed a full range of motion for their shoulders.

May not be long enough for taller users

Escape Fitness’ Deck V2.0 Workout Platform is a compact bench that can double as a stepping platform and a plyo box when flat. It's also adjustable and can serve as an incline bench or a decline bench. It can fold down for storage and is lightweight enough to move easily, meaning you can easily tuck it away (earning it a 5 out of 5 for portability)—ideal for home gyms that are already occupied by other fitness equipment like treadmills and elliptical machines. It also has a built-in storage compartment for loose equipment like bands or dumbbells.

The bench can be adjusted to two different heights and the backrest has three adjustable positions, plus channels for resistance bands so they don’t slip. While this bench doesn’t have padding like others on our list do, the surface features an anti-slip rubber tread for added grip and stability.

Our tester felt this bench was sturdy for step-ups, particularly at the lower height. She did notice that the angled legs caused some bowing during our test, but this design also provides shock absorption during high-impact exercise.

Testing Notes: “I think this is great for small spaces or for shorter people. If you're tall and want more of a true workout bench, you'll want something else. But if you don't have much space or really like incorporating more cardio/step moves into your workouts, then this is a great option.”

We like that the Workout Platform comes fully assembled, so the setup is simple. Adjustability is easy, but not as smooth as some other benches on our list. Our tester also noted that the bench may not be long enough for taller users.

Heavy

The Adjustable Bench from Prime Fitness is the heaviest bench on our list, at 94 pounds—but this extra weight makes it extremely sturdy. Our tester felt secure when stepping on it and was comfortable leaning all their weight on the bench. The padding is thick and made from moisture-wicking material. These features helped the bench earn a 5 out of 5 for both stability and comfort.

The seat can be adjusted five different ways, while the backrest can be adjusted ten ways. A slot and bar system makes switching positions a breeze, compared with the pin system that many other benches have. We especially like that you can adjust this bench with just one hand.

Testing Notes: “Great bench with many features that are straightforward and easy to use. It’s very sturdy and durable compared to other weight benches—definitely worth the price.”

Since it’s so heavy, this bench isn’t very portable, even with the attached wheels. Assembly was difficult, and our tester felt the included instructions were not very helpful. But Prime Fitness does offer optional add-on arm supports and an ankle support, sold separately.

If you’re looking for a complete home gym set-up and have the space, the Weider Platinum Strength bench with rack will do the trick. While this set is bulky and not portable, it has everything you need for a full body workout at home, including preacher curl and leg developer attachments.

The bench is adjustable and can be used as a flat bench, an incline bench, or a decline bench, with a 610-pound weight capacity. We like that the rack and bench are independent, so you can use one without the other. This bench also comes with adjustable uprights and a weight plate storage peg.

Testing Notes: “This bench is underpriced for all the additional functions it offers. You can do so many exercises on this bench that can’t be done on most benches at this price point.”

The back support is tapered for a comfortable fit, but our tester noted that the bench may not work well for taller exercisers. Our tester also found that this set was difficult to assemble, with lots of individual pieces to keep track of.

How We Rated the Best Weight Benches

4.8 to 5 stars: These are the best weight benches we tested. We recommend them without reservation.

4.5 to 4.7 stars: These weight benches are excellent—they might have minor flaws, but we still recommend them.

4.0 to 4.5 stars: We think these are great weight benches, but others are better.

3.5 to 3.9 stars: These weight benches are just average.

3.4 and below: We don't recommend weight benches with this rating; you won't find any on our list.

How We Selected and Tested the Best Weight Benches

To narrow down the best weight benches for home gyms, we asked Evan Betts, a certified personal trainer, for his expert advice on what features set certain weight benches apart. Then, we tested 25 different benches from trusted brands in The Verywell Testing Lab under the supervision of certified personal trainer Kern Alexander, NASM-CPT who was in the Lab helping facilitate our test.

Nine testers, ranging in exercise experience level from beginner to advanced, tested each bench by completing sets of eight to 12 repetitions of bench presses, dumbbell incline rows, chest flys, lying tricep extensions, and dumbbell step-ups.

Verywell Fit / Conor Ralph

Our testers scored each weight bench on a scale of 1 (would not recommend) to 5 (highly recommend) for the categories of adjustability (for adjustable benches), stability, portability and storage, durability, comfort, extra features, and overall value. We also gave each weight bench an overall star rating that reflects whether or not we would recommend it to a friend or family member.

What to Look For in a Weight Bench

Style

There are three different kinds of weight benches: incline benches, decline benches, and flat benches. Incline benches are ideal for strength training exercises, while decline benches are best for core work. Flat benches are great for more traditional weight lifting exercises, like bench presses and bent-over rows.

Many weight benches are adjustable, so they can accommodate all kinds of workouts. Consider which kinds of exercises make up most of your workout routine and make sure your bench can support them.

Verywell Fit / Conor Ralph

Weight Capacity

Any time you’re buying a piece of fitness equipment, you need to make sure it’s sturdy enough to support you and all the weight you’ll be lifting. Double-check a bench’s weight capacity before purchasing, and factor in the total weight you'll be putting on the bench—meaning your body weight plus the weight of your barbell, weight plates, or dumbbells.

Special Features

Style and stability should be your key considerations when buying a weight bench. But depending on your needs, you may also want some special features. If you’re navigating a small space, consider investing in a foldable weight bench or a bench with built-in storage. And if you want to use your bench to accommodate a wide range of exercises, look for an option that has a built-in curl bar, leg extender, or squat rack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much should a weight bench cost?

Weight benches can cost anywhere from around $75 to $700 and up. However, a higher price point doesn’t always mean a better bench. “You don’t necessarily need to break the bank for a solid option,” Betts says. Focus on finding a bench that meets your needs in terms of height, angle, and weight capacity. If you’re shopping on a budget, remember that you can start with something simple and build out your setup over time, Betts says.
What can I use as a weight bench at home?

In a pinch, many pieces of furniture—like chairs, couches, and beds—can double as a workout bench. Look for a piece of furniture that’s heavy and sturdy enough to support your weight, plus the weight of whatever you’re lifting. “Make sure the furniture is stable and does not slide around,” Betts says.
Also, think about your form as you work out. A couch may be heavy and sturdy enough, but if the cushions are so plush that you can’t maintain proper posture, it’s probably not a suitable substitution for a weight bench.
How do you use a weight bench?

There are many different ways to use a weight bench. You can lie on your back to use it for upper-body exercises or core work. Or, you can lie on your stomach to use it for upper-back exercises. You can also stand over it for other exercises, like bent-over rows and squats. And you can sit on it for exercises like biceps curls. You can even use it to elevate your feet or hands during push-ups.
How do you clean a weight bench?

Weight benches are typically easy to clean, thanks to their durable upholstery and materials. Simply wipe down your weight bench using a disinfectant wipe or a paper towel and disinfectant spray after each workout, and you should be good to go.
