Abstract: We establish the higher fractional differentiability of bounded minimizers to a class of obstacle problems with non-standard growth conditions of the form �egin{gather*} min �iggl{ displaystyleint_{Omega} F(x,Dw)dx  : w in mathcal{K}_{psi}(Omega) �iggr}, end{gather*} where $Omega$ is a bounded open set of $mathbb{R}^n$, $ngeq2$, the function $psiin{W}^{1,p}(Omega)$ is a fixed function called extit{obstacle} and $mathcal{K}_{psi}(Omega):=win{W}^{1,p}(Omega):wgeqpsiexta.e.inOmega$ is the class of admissible functions. If the obstacle $psi$ is locally bounded, we prove that the gradient of solution inherits some fractional differentiability property, assuming that both the gradient of the obstacle and the mapping $xmapsto{D}_{x}iF(x,xi)$ belong to some suitable Besov space. The main novelty is that such assumptions are not related to the dimension $n$.
