As I'm redoing thisnew garden, I built a run of raised beds last year - similar to Bob - but varying heights. I used fencing timber, lined, and with a ledge round the top. Around eighteen inches is the ideal height to double as seating so you could always incorporate a few sections which have a wider 'top' to use as seating MrT. You can see the longest bed in this pic - it's about that height and I often perch on it with a cuppa!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I have raised beds made out of railway sleepers supposedly to stop my sons football flattening my plants!! Not sure that it works for that purpose but I do sit on it to have a cuppa and plan what to do next! did try to post pictures but it didn't work for some reason.

We have 2 raised bed which are 3 sleepers high and that is more than enough for a seat height.
