How this list is chosen

Every adjustable bench in our index whose brand states how many backrest positions it has (two or more).

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 position count tells you how many stops a backrest has. This list includes every adjustable bench in our index whose brand states how many backrest positions it has.

A count doesn't tell you which angles the stops reach or whether one is a decline. Where a brand gives angles, they're worth reading alongside the count.

Before you buy

The position count tells you how many stops the backrest has. More stops give finer control over incline angles.
A count doesn't tell you the angles or whether one of the positions is a decline.
Some benches also adjust the seat, which helps keep you in place on steep inclines.
The adjustment mechanism, such as a pin or a ladder, affects how quickly you can change position between exercises.

What this list doesn't check

A position count is not a list of angles. Read the brand's angle claims, where there are any, alongside it.
A count doesn't establish a decline, seat adjustment or what the load limit covers.
Position count is not a quality or comfort ranking.
