Alan - the aforementioned felt pads work great, and are readily available
at hardware stores.  Another alternative is the nylon type, and one style
 of these has the added benefit of making the bench height somewhat
adjustable thru the use of a threaded rod screwed into a threaded insert.
 This is a very effective fix when the bench doesn't sit perfectly level
on the floor, causing it to rack when you sit on it.  They slide very
nicely on wood floors and don't attract dust and animal hair like the
felt ones.    They will raise the overall height a minimum of 1/4 to 3/8
" though.  These are also readily available at hardware stores.
