Use bench:type in combination with amenity=bench to specify the kind of bench you are mapping.
Common values
- bench:type=seated (meaning unclear - see discussion)
- bench:type=stand_up for benches that only support you while standing but don't have a wide enough seat to fully sit down (e.g. intended for young people on playgrounds and sports fields).
- bench:type=block for massive blocks that serve as a bench or are suitable for sitting (often made of stone or concrete).
- bench:type=lounger for benches that allow to lie down. In this case, check whether amenity=lounger fits better.
- bench:type=platform for large seating areas, usually without backrests. Consider to map these as areas with area=yes.
- bench:type=swing for hanging benches that allow the user to swing. Swing benches differ from playground=swing as the latter is designed for play. Swinging benches are designed to sit in with another person.
- bench:type=log for logs intended to be used as benches.
