Pin bench is a fine substitute.

I understand that paused/spoto and pin variations are beneficial for developing isometric and concentric strength, respectively. But, is there really any difference you expect in adaptations between a board press, floor press and pin bench press for the same ROMs? Or are they highly interchangeable and just look different?

I don’t expect major differences in adaptation between these, matched for ROM.

I recently encountered this situation as well and what I found worked for me was putting 2 2x4s under a sweatshirt.

I used a foam yoga block. I’m not sure how links are treated here but you can google - foam yoga block board press reddit - for instructions. The block costs about $5.
