Width of bench

Hey I was just wondering if anyone could tell me the width of a typical powerlifting bench?
Looking at getting one for my birthday in a couple of months and just wanted to make sure I end up getting one that I don't roll off (like my current flat bench).

30cm rings a bell but I'm not 100% sure
 
Hey HB,

From the ipf rule book:

Bench
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]The bench shall conform to the following dimensions:
1. Length - not less than 1.22 m and shall be flat and level.
2. Width - not less than 29 cm and not exceeding 32 cm.
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]3. Height - not less than 42 cm and not exceeding 45 cm measured from the floor to the top of the padded surface of the bench without it being depressed or compacted. The height of the uprights, which must be adjustable, shall be a minimum of 75 cm to a maximum of 110 cm measured from the floor to the bar rest position.
4. Minimum width between insides of bar rests shall be 1.10 m.
5. The head of the bench shall extend 22 cm beyond the center of the uprights with a tolerance of 5 cm either way.

Not sure of other feds.. ?
