Changing Room Benches – Types, Materials and Solutions

Changing room benches are an essential part of locker room equipment in gyms, schools, and industrial facilities. There are different types of benches designed for specific needs, from simple seating to models with hooks, storage, or space-saving layouts. Choosing the right option depends on the type of facility, available space, and expected usage. 

IPCOM-Group supplies locker room benches built with durable materials and robust construction for high-use environments. In this guide, we explain the main types of benches and how to choose the right solution for your facility.

Types of Benches for Changing Rooms

Depending on your layout and user requirements, you can choose from several bench configurations:

• Benches with coat hooks – A perfect 2-in-1 solution for schools and sports clubs. These units include built-in hooks, eliminating the need for additional wall hangers and keeping the space organized.
• Seating with lockers – The most functional choice for modern gyms. This design integrates secure storage compartments with comfortable seating, providing a compact footprint for personal items.
• Double-sided benches– Engineered for large-scale locker rooms. With seating available on both sides, these robust islands maximize capacity in open floor plans.
• Freestanding backless models – Our most versatile option. Their simple, lightweight design makes them easy to move, fitting perfectly into narrow hallways or small changing zones.
• Benches with shoe racks – These models include a lower shelf to organize footwear, keeping floors clear and making cleaning much more efficient.

IPCOM-Group supplies changing room benches in all of these options.

Choosing Your Changing Room Bench Material

Different materials suit different environments and usage conditions. The right choice depends on humidity, load, and maintenance requirements.

• Wood with metal frame – a durable solution for gyms and general-use changing rooms. Combines seating comfort with stronger structural support for higher loads. When properly treated and coated, these benches can withstand humidity and regular cleaning. This makes them suitable for both dry and moderately humid environments.
• Plastic benches – commonly used in wet areas such as pools and spa facilities. Lightweight, water-resistant, and easy to clean, but less suitable for heavy-duty use.
• Upholstered benches – provide higher seating comfort and a more premium look. Best suited for low-traffic areas where appearance is a priority.

In short, the right material depends on your environment. For pools and spa areas, plastic benches are the most practical choice. For gyms and workplace changing rooms, wood and metal combinations offer the best balance of durability and comfort. Upholstered benches are more suitable for VIP areas, lounges, or reception spaces where comfort and appearance matter most.
