Choosing the right changing room bench is not only about picking a style you like. The best bench depends on where it will be used, who will use it and what the space needs to achieve each day. A bench that works well in a dry school changing room may not be the right choice for a wet leisure facility or an industrial staff area.

Locker room benches need to do more than provide a place to sit. In many changing rooms, users also need somewhere to place shoes, bags, towels, kit or workwear while they change. That is why benches with storage underneath are such a practical option. They combine seating with extra storage capacity, helping the room stay tidier and easier to use.

Changing room benches are high-contact surfaces. In schools, workplaces, gyms and leisure facilities, they are used by multiple people throughout the day. That is why hygiene is such an important part of bench selection and maintenance. One option that often comes up is anti-bacterial or anti-viral bench coatings.
