Description of the Related Art

United States Patent Application Publication No. 2009/0192028 which was published on Jul. 30, 2017, in the name of Shank, discloses a yoga comfort system wedge constructed of medium density, high quality, closed cell foam materials and adhesives comprised of layers and septums which create a uniquely flexible prop. The construction forms a triangularly shaped yoga, fitness, or therapeutic device in the form of a flexible wedge which allows users to achieve or maintain certain poses, stretches, exercises or therapeutic positions while improving tactile comfort and aiding range of motion. The yoga comfort system wedge has advantages over traditional types of yoga, meditation, fitness, or therapy devices. The yoga system wedge allows for users with specific physical limitations to comfortably modify and maintain desired poses or exercises, which would not ordinarily be possible, while at the same time provides for the advanced user to practice their highly skilled activities with greater comfort and ease. Two yoga comfort system wedges can be placed together with similar planar faces adjoining to form a comfortable block or comfort bolster, offering more versatility and applications. A variety of yoga comfort system wedges can also be stacked or arranged to provide additional methods for use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

There is provided an adjustable bench comprising a seat, a skirt extending from the seat, and a plurality of height adjustable leg assemblies coupled to the skirt. The seat is shaped to be selectively mated with the skirt to provide the bench with either a flat top surface or a sloped top surface. The leg assemblies of the bench may be slidably or telescopically adjustable. The leg assemblies of the bench may be pivotably coupled to the skirt. There may be a strap secured to the leg assemblies of the bench to restrict movement of the leg assemblies. The skirt may include a front apron, a rear apron, and side aprons. The side aprons may each have a respective top edge which slopes downwardly from the rear apron to the front apron. The seat may be generally wedge-shaped and have an apex. The seat may be mated with the skirt with the apex of the seat extending along the rear apron of the skirt or the seat may be mated with the skirt with the apex of the seat extending along the front apron of the skirt. The seat may be removed from the skirt to allow access to a storage compartment. The seat may be mates with the skirt.
