Kneeler is a piece of furniture used for resting in a kneeling position.
Prayer kneeler
In many churches, pews are equipped with kneelers in front of the seating bench so members of the congregation can kneel on them instead of the floor. In a few other situations such as confessionals and areas in front of an altar, kneelers for kneeling during prayer or sacraments may also be used.
A kneeler is also a part of the prie-dieu prayer desk.
Garden kneeler
A garden or gardening kneeler is a piece used for kneeling during gardening. Garden kneelers vary greatly, from simple pads to foldable benches.
