Bench: the Sidea selection
A bench is one of the most commonly used pieces of equipment in any strength training setting — yet it is often overlooked when making a choice. The ‘Bench’ tag brings together all the benches in the Sidea catalogue: designs built to withstand heavy loads and continuous use, from the flat bench to Benches & Powerlifting from the functional bench – which can also be used as a step or plyo box – to specialised benches for exercises such as the seal row or for specific environments HomeGym. The range is completed by the spare parts original components, which are essential for maintaining the performance of heavily used structures over time.
Who is Bench for?
The ways in which a professional bench is used vary much more widely than one might think. Let’s take a look at the main contexts.
Gyms and fitness centres. In a weight room environment with multiple users each day, the bench must withstand repeated loading cycles without losing stability or suffering any sagging of the padding. The 9020 Flat Bench and the 9025 Professional Adjustable Bench with wheels are designed precisely for this purpose: structural strength, a non-slip surface and ease of movement between stations.
Personal trainers and PT studios. Those working in compact spaces with a high client turnover need versatile equipment. The 9024 Functional Bench — which can also be used as a step and plyobox — fits this bill: a single piece of equipment that covers bench presses, split squats, step-ups, box jumps and plyometric training.
Advanced home gyms and garage gyms. Enthusiasts who set up their own training space tend to make a single, well-informed choice. A professional-grade adjustable bench such as the 9025, combined with a Smart Rack, allows you to perform virtually all the basic barbell exercises in just a few square metres.
Powerlifters and strength trainers. For those who compete or train according to specific protocols (RPE-based, percentage of maximum), the stability of the bench during the bench press is a technical requirement, not an aesthetic one. The 9020 Flat Bench was designed with this in mind: the width of the bench surface, height from the floor and structural rigidity are all tailored to athletic performance, not recreational use.
CrossFit boxes and fitness trainers. The seal row bench (9021 and 9021V) is ideally suited to settings where the focus is on isolating the latissimus dorsi muscles for hypertrophy, without compensatory movements of the spine. It is a piece of equipment highly valued by those who follow training methods Strong fitness training and by trainers who incorporate rowing exercises into their general strength training programmes.
How to choose
Choosing the right bench depends on three main factors: the type of exercises you plan to do, the setting in which it will be used, and how often it will be used.
Type of exercise. For heavy barbell bench presses, the flat bench remains the most reliable choice: no adjustable joints means no critical points of failure under load. For those who want to cover incline, decline and flat bench presses with a single piece of equipment, an adjustable bench with multiple angles (typically from -15° to +85°) is more practical. The seal row bench meets a specific need — prone rowing on an inclined surface — and has no direct substitutes amongst standard benches.
Context of use. In a gym with many users, the weight of the equipment and the presence of transport wheels affect its day-to-day practicality. In a home gym, these factors are less important: what matters more is the compact footprint and whether it fits alongside the rack that is already installed.
Frequency and intensity. Professional-grade upholstery is designed to withstand dozens of sessions per week over several years. For high-intensity use, checking the availability of genuine spare parts is just as important a selection criterion as the initial technical specifications. Sidea supplies cushions, handles and componentSpare parts for all models in the range.
Additional versatility. The 9024 Functional Bench deserves a special mention: its design makes it suitable for plyometric and agility, categories that would normally require separate equipment. For gyms with limited space or for fitness trainers working with athletes in predominantly athletic sports, this versatility may justify the choice even where specialised benches are already available.
Sidea Products for Bench
The Sidea catalogue for the bench segment is divided into four main categories.
Flat benches. The 9020 Flat Bench is the benchmark for powerlifting and intensive use in the weight room. Rigid deck, dense padding, wide feet for stability under maximum load.
Adjustable benches. The 9025 Professional Adjustable Bench with castors covers all the working angles required for press exercises, rowing and supplementary exercises. The built-in castors make it easy to move without compromising its stability during use.
Specialised benches. The 9021 and 9021V Seal Row Bench is specifically designed to optimise the chest-supported row, eliminating the lumbar compensation typical of the traditional barbell row. The 9017 Flex Bench offers additional angle options for working Functional Training.
Multi-purpose functional bench. The 9024 and 9024V Functional Benches can also be classified as step platforms and plyoboxes: their structure can withstand dynamic loads and repeated impacts, a feature not typically found in a traditional bench.
Genuine spare parts. Replacement pads for the 9020 (R9020, R9020A), pads and handles for the 9025 (R9025A, R9025B, R9025C) ensure long-term performance without having to replace the entire unit.

Domande frequenti - Bench

The flat bench offers absolute structural rigidity, with no joints that might give way under heavy loads: it is the standard choice for the powerlifting bench press. The adjustable bench allows you to vary the working angle (incline, decline, flat) and covers a wider range of exercises, but requires a more robust construction to maintain the same stability under load.
-
Compatibility depends on the height of the bench and the width of the rack frame. Generally speaking, a standard bench with a seat height of around 42–45 cm will fit most power racks and squat racks. Before pairing a bench with a rack, it is worth checking the internal width of the rack and the height of the J-hooks relative to the bench top to ensure an ergonomically correct setup.
-
The inclined design of the seal row bench is primarily intended for the chest-supported row using a barbell or dumbbells, which allows you to isolate the latissimus dorsi muscles whilst eliminating lumbar compensation. However, the same piece of equipment can be used for exercises such as the face pull with resistance bands, certain curl variations and supplementary shoulder work in a prone position.
-
It depends on the intensity of use. In a gym with 50–80 visitors a day, a professional-grade cushion can last 3–5 years before showing signs of structural deterioration in the padding. The signs to look out for are: permanent dents, a noticeable loss of firmness and the cover coming away from the cushion. Sidea supplies original replacement parts for all models in the range, allowing you to extend the cushion’s useful life without having to replace it entirely.
-
The 9024 Functional Bench is also classified in the Step and Plyobox category, and its structure is designed to withstand repeated dynamic impacts. It can be used for box jumps, step-ups and plyometric work, as well as for pressing exercises. This dual functionality makes it particularly suitable for personal training studios and spaces with limited floor area.
-
For a correct biomechanical set-up during the bench press, the height of the bench should allow you, whilst seated, to rest your feet flat on the floor with your knees at approximately 90°. A standard height of around 42–45 cm works for most users. Very tall or very short athletes may benefit from benches of different heights or footrests.
