Hollow Knight | Silksong |
Benches are checkpoints throughout Hallownest that the Knight can sit on to perform several actions:
- Respawn at the Bench after quitting the game or dying
- Replenish all health (including Lifeblood masks granted by Charms, but depleting all Lifeblood masks from Cocoons)
- Equip and unequip Charms
- Fill out the Map with places already explored (requires purchasing a Quill)
- If Salubra's Blessing has been purchased, the Knight will slowly replenish SOUL
- Respawn enemies (not in the bench room) that were defeated prior to sitting
- Respawn Lifeblood Cocoons
In some cases, Benches must be unlocked by paying a toll machine with Geo.

Bench Pin
The player may purchase a Bench Pin from Iselda for 100, which reveals the locations of every Bench in the Area after that area's Map has been purchased.

- Quirrel in the City of Tears
- Tiso in the Forgotten Crossroads Stag Station

- The Crystal Guardian boss is first encountered sitting on a Bench. Attacking it will start the fight and it is not possible to rest at the Bench before defeating it.
- A fake Bench found in the Distant Village is set up by Distant Villagers to trap The Knight to bring them into Beast's Den.
- The bench in Leg Eater's location is actually a corpse that can be dream nailed, revealing the dialogue: "Why ?"
- A cut bench called "ancient_bench" comprised of the bodies of dead Vessels existed in game files at one point, but it was later removed.
- Another cut bench named "Hornet_room_bench" also existed in the game files upon release. It was part of an unused room that was inaccessible and cannot be found in the game anymore.
