Backless Benches

A backless bench is a bench with no backrest, so it tucks under a dining table, sits low at the foot of a bed or fits an entryway without blocking the view. These are upholstered in linen, boucle and chenille, from a 47.24 inch dining bench to a 77.2 inch bench with arms.

Backless dining bench sizes

A backless dining bench slides fully under the table when you are done, which keeps a small dining room open. The tufted linen dining benches here are 47.24 inches long, 14.37 inches deep and 20.08 inches high, in beige or gray on black solid hardwood legs, and they arrive ready to use. At that length a bench seats two adults along one side of the table. Pair one with chairs on the opposite side, or set two benches facing each other for a casual, family-style table.

Backless bench for the foot of the bed

At the end of a bed, pick a bench close to the mattress width. The 48 inch light gray boucle bench sits low at 16.7 inches on two fluted wood pedestals, a good match for a full or queen bed. For a king, the 69.7 inch black chenille bench curves down into two block supports in a channel-tufted waterfall shape, and the 77.2 inch beige chenille bench adds curved end arms, two bolster pillows and a foam and pocket-spring seat.

Backless bench for an entryway

The 52.17 inch cream chenille oval loop bench is made for the door: one continuous oval with a padded top and an open lower deck for shoes or baskets. It seats two, holds up to 300 pounds and needs no assembly. At 15.94 inches high, it also works as a window seat.

Backless benches: materials, weight limits and care

Every bench here is upholstered in linen, boucle or chenille, on frames built around solid wood, with plywood, iron or wood panels on select models. Weight limits run 250 to 450 pounds. Vacuum boucle and chenille with an upholstery brush, blot spills on linen right away, and leave about 24 inches of walkway around a bench.

Frequently asked questions

What is a backless bench called?
A backless bench is usually called a dining bench, an end-of-bed bench or an ottoman bench, depending on where it goes, and one with arms at each end can pass for a settee. The backless benches here are upholstered in linen, boucle and chenille for a dining table, an entryway or the foot of a bed.
How high should a dining bench be?
A dining bench should be about 10 to 12 inches lower than the tabletop, which means 18 to 20 inches high for a standard 30 inch table. The tufted linen backless dining benches here stand 20.08 inches high, so they suit a standard dining table and slide under its edge when you are done.
How long should a dining bench be compared to the table?
A dining bench should be about 6 to 12 inches shorter than the table, so it fits between the legs and leaves room at the ends. The 47.24 inch linen backless dining benches here suit a table about 54 to 60 inches long. Allow about 24 inches per person, so each bench seats two adults.
How deep should a dining bench be?
A dining bench is usually 14 to 18 inches deep, enough to sit comfortably without crowding the table legs. The linen backless dining benches here are 14.37 inches deep. The other backless benches run 16.34 to 30.5 inches deep, which suits an entryway or the end of a bed better than a table.
Are dining benches comfortable?
Dining benches are comfortable for everyday meals when the seat is padded and sits 10 to 12 inches below the tabletop. The tufted linen backless benches have a foam-filled cushion at 20.08 inches high. A backless bench gives no back support, so for long dinners mix it with chairs or put it against a wall.
How tall should an entryway bench be?
An entryway bench should be about 16 to 19 inches tall at the seat, so it is easy to sit on while you put on shoes. The cream chenille oval loop bench here is 15.94 inches high, with an open lower deck for shoes or baskets, and it seats two and holds up to 300 pounds.
