How this list is chosen
Every bench in our index whose brand-stated length is 1.3 m or less.
The list is not ranked: products with photographs come first, then each group is in name order. We haven't tested these products; every figure comes from a checked product page, linked from each product profile. How we build shortlists.

About this list
A shorter bench is easier to fit into a small room and to move or store. This list includes every bench in our index whose brand-stated length is 1.3 m or less.
Bench length is the frame only. Lying on the bench with a barbell or dumbbells, placing your feet and having a spotter behind you all need room beyond it.
Before you buy
- A shorter bench is easier to fit in a small room and to move or store.
- A short bench may not support your whole back and head when lying flat. Pad length is worth comparing with your height.
- Lying on a bench with a barbell or dumbbells needs room beyond the bench at each end and to the sides.
- A folding bench is shorter when folded. The open length is the one that matters in use.
Notes on the list
- BodyMax CF325 FID Utility Weight Bench

- BodyMax CF412 Folding Flat Weight Bench
1.28 m from BodyMax's open dimensions, '128x42x43 cm (LxWxH)'. No folded dimensions are used here.
- Gym Gear Sterling Series Flat Bench
1.28 m from Gym Gear's 'L 128 x W 64 x H 43 cm'. Its 150 kg loading capacity doesn't say whether the user is included.

What this list doesn't check
- Bench length is not the room a bench needs: allow for a barbell, a spotter and your feet on the floor.
- A folding bench's open length is used here; folded size is a separate check.
- This is a catalogue screen, not a survey of the market.
