Great question, and one we hear more often than you might expect. Yes, many of our standard park benches do include armrests. That is partly because city and park contracts often request them—armrests provide support when sitting down or standing up, and they help define individual seating areas.
However, you can absolutely get several of our bench models without armrests. We offer armrest-free configurations for open seating, stretching out, or creating a cleaner visual line. If easier sleeping access is your goal, ask about our open-slat benches with no center dividers and request a no-armrest version when you ask for a quote. In most cases this is available at no extra cost and with minimal change to lead time.
One practical note: many public parks and property owners have their own rules about lying down or sleeping on benches, so if this is for a public space, check local guidelines first. But if you are ordering for private use, an armrest-free bench is a straightforward option. Just let us know the model you like, and we will confirm the best configuration.
