Do note that when you set it up for use, you must make sure it’s laying flat. If not, the middle fold line of the board can imprint on the clothes when you iron.

Hanger space, usually under the board, where you can hang garments to keep items crease-free once you've ironed them. The worst moved like jelly on a plate with the lightest of touches. Some even had wonky feet straight out of the box. Ease of useFinally, for the cover, Sattler recommends wool and cotton. One that’s washable and easy to remove is also important (so you can get rid of those unsightly brown spots).

Ironing isn’t exactly a favorite chore, but the look of a freshly pressed shirt or smoothing the wrinkles out of a favorite dress can be extremely satisfying. If you’re tired of pulling out your old, heavy ironing board for the task, just know that having a great ironing board that fits your needs can really make a difference. 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. Scorch testThere are a few things to look for here when choosing the best ironing board. If you’re concerned about weight, look for an ironing board made of alloy steel or lightweight wood. Also, the material on the board itself is important, says Kraus, explaining, “The more padding in the ironing board cover, the easier it is to press.” This ironing board is an average size board at 42 inches in length and14 inches in width which is perfect for small and large garments. The type is the first thing you should consider when choosing an ironing board. Depending on the available space in your home and your needs, you can either get a traditional folding type, a wall-mounted one, or something portable. Prepare the garment: Ensure the garment is clean and slightly damp before ironing to steam out the wrinkles. If the garment is fully dry, you can use a spray bottle to lightly mist it with water or use the steam function on your iron to add moisture. We tested ironing boards with adjustable height at their lowest and highest levels to see if they are comfortable to use both when seated and standing. In addition to this, we compared the ironing boards, taking into account the surface area of the ironing surface. Ironing Boards: Buying Guide

A door-hanging ironing board folds up against the door when you’re not using it anymore. It doesn’t have legs, since the door supports the door ironing board. They are still very sturdy though, so don’t worry about that! Here’s another board from Sunbeam. The Sunbeam SB7400 Chic Ironing Board with Steam Generator Iron Tray is lighter and cheaper than the Sunbeam SB8400 and offers great value for money. Aside from keeping your clothes wrinkle and crease-free, ironing boards can be used differently as well. For one, it can be used as a food station when you have a small party. Just cover it with cloth and load it up with food and drinks. Since it is durable and able to handle the weight of books, laptops, and other items, you can use it as a shelf or table as well. The key factors to consider for the durability of an ironing board are how easy it is to maneuver and set up, how much it weighs, and how often you’ll use it. Daily setup and breakdown for storage can be hard on the mechanics of this tool, so if you’re planning to use it daily, you’ll need one that’s well constructed and potentially heavier. For more occasional use, a lighter weight, lower-cost ironing board will probably serve your needs. Size, storage, and material are also great features to look out for when shopping for an ironing board. “It’s important to consider the amount of space you’ll have when shopping for an ironing board," says Michael Garvey, Merchant of Household Organization at The Home Depot. “Some popular features for ironing boards are collapsible, indoor, and hanging.”We also 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. This is a full-size ironing board with a machine-washable cotton cover that's easy to remove (and you can replace it if needed). It’s relatively lightweight at 9.6 pounds, so you won’t have trouble moving it around. It’s made from durable alloy steel, and the frame has four supportive legs that won’t wobble. You can look into getting a tabletop ironing board, which is usually small and can easily just be placed on top of a table or counter. A tabletop ironing board (or a similar type of compact ironing board) can be a great option for small spaces. You can easily store a tabletop ironing board under a bed or dresser or on a storage shelf when not in use.

Even with its small size, it still has ample ironing space (32 x 12 inches), so you can use it to freshen up any wrinkled clothes or even larger items like sheets. It’s also padded to help evenly press your clothes. It includes a rest for your iron, keeping the heat away from your clothes and the board when not in use. In terms of storage, the cabinet is capable of housing a small or large iron and a cord cover. Another cool feature is the direct electric hook-up with a 60-minute timer, meaning you can leave your iron plugged in when you’re not using it. The hanging board includes a foam pad and cotton ironing board cover that will protect the board and your clothes from the heat and steam of the iron. Measuring 42 x 14 inches, this isn’t the largest ironing space available, and it tends to bang against the door while in use. However, we like this board because it is space smart and a sturdy over-the-door model. Do you prefer a wall-mounted ironing board? If so, then you can’t go wrong with the Duwee (37x98cm) Wall and Door Mounted Ironing Board. It is ideal for small apartments or for those with limited space in their homes as you only need to hang it against your wall or behind your door.Bigger ironing boards typically extend to a taller maximum height. Our tallest tester was 6ft 1in and found that ironing boards with a maximum height greater than 95cm were noticeably more comfortable to iron on. The best ironing boards have a nice amount of padding on the surface. Having an ironing surface with padding is important because that padding will help you get a nice even and flat surface when you press clothes. You don’t want to feel the metal frame of the ironing board under your clothes when you’re ironing them! What type of ironing board should I get? Also, consider getting on with an iron rest because an iron rest can really make ironing easier. Some also come with other accessories like a heavy-duty cover that you can cover your board with when you’re not using it to protect the surface and padding. So you can keep a lookout for a cover or other accessories if that’s important to you! The Benefits of Ironing Boards That Can Hang The worst have controls that are difficult to reach, folding mechanisms that are unintuitive, and surfaces that are a pain to iron on. Heat test
