If you’re looking for a compact, easy to store board, then this one probably won’t be for you as its sturdy construction XL size – 124 x 45cm – and solid steam generator holder means it’ll take up a fair bit of space whether up, or folded down. It has 7 height adjustments from 75 to 98cm, great for even the loftiest of ironers and our testers felt it was one of the most stable and sturdy boards they tried. It’s safe to say that one of the best ironing boards is essential for the home. While some people absolutely hate this chore and will avoid it at all costs, there are others who love the fact that this quiet task can help them let off some steam (quite literally).
Although our key focus in the development process was on creating a large ironing board, they have been designed in such a way that you can easily reach from one end of the board to the other without having to take a step. This type of obsession and attention to detail has enabled us to develop and create what we believe to be the best ironing board that money can buy. Any ironing board needs to be sturdy, so a solid frame and well-designed feet are a must. If you frequently carry your ironing board to and from its storage space, then you need to find a balance between sturdy materials and weight.’

Iron type: Your choice of board will also depend on what kind of iron you are using. Most boards happily accommodate steam irons these days, but not all of them will hold larger steam generators, which can be annoying if you then have to place them on an alternative surface or actually on the board, using up precious pressing space. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ There’s a huge safety aspect when you’re dealing with something that holds a hot iron. If a board tips over or collapses while ironing it might damage a carpet and at worse burn you or someone else. Boards need to be tough and sturdy and have rubber or plastic-tipped legs to ensure there’s no slipping, particularly when you’re ironing items that require more pressure such as jeans.
Height and material: Firstly, make sure the board is a metal mesh construction below the cover, as this allows steam to pass through and evaporate. The size you buy will depend on how much space you have. In smaller homes, where space is a premium, you might want to invest in a smaller, or even table-top board, while if you have plenty of space – or even a dedicated laundry room where you can leave your iron up – you can go for something with more surface area. Is my ironing board safe? 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. But how do you choose the right ironing board for your needs? With so many different styles, sizes, and price points out there, knowing which one to buy can be a minefield. We have two ironing boards in our range the original Boardmann, which measures 137 x 51 x 8 cm when folded and the Boardmann XL, which is 162 x 51 x 8 cm folded. Unlike ironing board covers, which should be replaced every 2 - 5 years, ironing boards can last a lifetime if they’re properly cared for. However, there are some characteristics of an ironing board that mean general wear and tear can appear a few years into ownership.
Why Is a Large Ironing Board Better?
We know that there’s much more to an ironing board than its cover but we also realize that often people buy them because of the way they look as much as how big – or not – they are. There’s something about the range of covers available for this board that makes us feel a little more stylish when ironing.
