About this deal
Our testers also found no difference in how fast they could iron, or how non-creased the laundry was, when using a board with a heat-reflective cover versus a standard one.
We are committed to offering the best value to our members, with a satisfaction guarantee on both your membership and merchandise. To tweak the height, all you have to do is press a lever to raise or lower it, releasing it when it’s at the preferred level.Not all ironing boards are created equal and with so many to choose from, it can be hard to make your choice, especially as they vary so significantly in cost. If you ever get annoyed by the iron cord getting jammed between the iron holder and the board itself, this one might be for you as it features a pull-up cord holder that prevents that from happening. The surface is padded and layered over a mesh metal surface so when you're ironing, especially when using steam, the heat diffuses through these layers and doesn't get trapped on the surface. Smaller, compact ironing boards can be picked up for less, however, these models are better suited to more occasional use.
Whilst ironing larger items like sheets can be a bit tricky on it, it’s great for occasional school uniforms and shirts. There are many other things to consider when purchasing a cover for your ironing board, including ensuring that it is the right size to fit your board. We measure the force needed to drag each board along a smooth floor, and how much the height of the board drops with a heavy load placed on it.I have one of the Brabantia Boards and its great, very strong and sturdy - you can tell it's built to last, reaches a great height so absolutely no stooping no matter how tall you are, and nice and wide so ironing is quicker as you can cover more area without having to constantly readjust things on the board. Also, the cover wasn't staying on well enough for me and all my big sheets, so I asked Boardmann what I could do about that given that I'd tried tightening the periphery strings underneath, but it didn't help - and they sent me some elasticated bands to connect to the cover under the board to keep it in position.

The cover is nicely padded and although we wouldn’t recommend it for larger families with heaps of ironing or if you’re wedded to ironing your duvets, it’s perfectly acceptable for t-shirts and jeans. These can be a great space-saving option, but are usually more expensive and are fixed in one place.
