How Heated Benches Change the Game

Outdoor sports, from collegiate to professional as well as the Winter Olympics, can be played in some severely cold temperatures. Having a means of keeping your players warm on the sidelines is critical to their performance and safety.

A heated bench from Dragons Seats not only provides an ergonomically comfortable seat for a player, they also keep a player’s muscles loose, flexible, and more elastic, thus helping the player perform at their highest level while at the same time reducing their risk of muscle-related injuries. This is backed up by research conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine. Simply put, warmed muscles lower the risk of injury.

The Perfect Heated Bench for Gameday

Dragon Seats is the one and only manufacturer of heated benches. Our benches are heated by a 120-volt portable heater and clean-burning natural gas or propane, which gradually warms the bench to a comfortable temperature. Our state-of-the-art benches also feature slide-out heated foot decks that direct warm air upward, so players are warmed from the front and back. For collegiate and professional football, our patented “Hot Hat” helmet-warming accessory is installed on our heated outdoor bench to keep the insides of helmets warm. This prevents the interior bladders from hardening in the cold. Unlike a cold helmet, a warm helmet fits properly and is much more capable of protecting players from head injuries in freezing temperatures.

Our heated outdoor bench is specially designed to provide the user with comfortable, ergonomic positioning. The user’s knees are slightly raised to allow the bench’s warmth to be absorbed by the body more completely and evenly, especially in the areas that are most susceptible to injury, like the hamstrings, calves, and back. Our benches also come with built-in rolling casters, which make them easy to move, so they can be stored away when not in use.
