When looking for the right ironing board cover, all you need to do is check that the ironing board and cover have the same label – and a perfect fit is guaranteed. The Boardmann XL Steam Ironing Board with steam iron rest is the extra wide board designed to speed up ironing. The board itself is still a little springy but that is not too much of an issue, but I would prefer it if were a little more rigid. A generous amount of padding under the cover means the iron is able to glide nice and smoothly over its surface no matter where you use it.The underside of the cotton cover has a metalized foil layer that reflects steam and heat back into the clothes making it more efficient when steam ironing.

Whether you’re just looking for a new print or your old ironing board cover is in need of replacing – a new cover is sure to bring more fun to your ironing in no time at all.

We've found no noticeable difference between any of the ironing boards, even those that claim to have special heat-reflective covers. I read the info which said that but didn’t realise how effective it would be because I didn’t intend using it as an ironing board. It’s not the board on which to linger on very wrinkled items but not a problem if you’re quickly pushing the iron over the surface of a garment for a fast finish.If you love the look and feel of hotel room bedding, this board can help you bring that luxury into your own bedroom without getting tangled up in knots or unnecessarily hot and sweaty. Just one suggestion is that the iron rest could be made larger and even to accommodate a steam generated iron. If you’re limited on storage space, however, or iron less regularly, you may choose to opt for a more compact model that is easier to bring out as and when required. If you’re a dedicated ironer of everything, including large items such as duvets and sheets, then pick a board with as big an ironing area as you can. It’s worth noting that the lighter shade covers can discolour over time, so you may want to opt for a darker or patterned shade if you’re keen to keep it looking pristine.

Hanger space, usually under the board, where you can hang garments to keep items crease-free once you've ironed them.If you’re ironing regularly, most Mumsnet users agree that you get what you pay for, with the more expensive models generally offering improved efficiency as well as a more sturdy and robust design that will last the test of time. While the best steam irons can help you iron out the creases and help your collars stand to attention, they’d be nothing without any ironing board to keep them company. The four-leg frame is foldable and compact enough to slide under a bed and it offers a decent range of height adjustment to make ironing more comfortable. This powder coated steel ironing board has a large ironing surface, 110 X 32cm, allowing you to comfortably place your garments on the ironing surface. We found that it worked better with a corded iron than a cordless one which often has a base that will need storing, too.
