bench size?

This is a bit of a crossover post.
I’m building a mold for concrete benches and I want to be sure I build them long enough and wide enough for the more extended bipods I now see. I don’t shoot much prone but I want to work up loads on the bench with bipods as well as my rest. Any good foot prints you like? Also, I could mold in a rubber matt if a softer top (might not slide well) thoughts?
 
To me size is up to you, I would cut a top out of plywood and decide what works best for your application before you pour. If you want a rubber top, I like Horse Stall mats. You can get them in different thickness, they are dense and heavy.
Horse stall matts are already on site. Since I only plan to build two, I will build the mold 2” wider than a matt to leave an inch of concrete on each side.
