Here it is essential to make sure that they are breathable pads and they should also be fire retardant. This is already common practice for almost all shoulder presses and other sports equipment today.
So that several people can use the not quite cheap equipment, there should be a seat height adjustment and a visual rest indicator.
A good shoulder press offers even an inexperienced user the possibility to use the equipment. Technology and comfort must go hand in hand in a good device, this of course includes cleaning, all points must be easily accessible and must not pose a risk of injury.
