A warm welcome to HuntChat.
Shoting from a bench does seem to make a gun kick harder. Your body is more constrained, and you gave "give" less. So it hits you harder. It's even worse if you're hunching down and forward to get your body down to the gun.
As an extreme example, imagine how hard you'd get hammered if you were leaning the back of your shoulder against a tree when you shot. That'd be like getting hammered on an anvil.
The best way to reduce the recoil is to make sure you're sitting as upright as possible and use a good recoil pad on the gun. You can also put an additional pad between it and you. A rolled towel is okay, but a bag of lead shot is even better because it adds to the mass as awell as spreading out the area of the blow.
