Brabantia Replacement Ironing Board Cover | Top Layer Only | Fits XL Comfort Board (Size C) | Fairtrade Metalized Cover | 100% Cotton Cover for Your Existing Foam Layer Ironing Board C

This is a bit of an expensive ironing board cover, but it is made of exceptional quality, and once you get working with it, you can easily see the level of craftsmanship put into it. This is not a run-of-the-mill cover that you'll see in retail stores, but is rather an extremely well designed cover that should last a very long time while helping improve the ironing process. The cover is made of a semi-reflective outer surface with a substrate beneath it to give the cover a bit of body. The outer layer is designed to efficiently reflect the heat of the iron while also making the smoothness of the surface nice for sliding both the iron and fabric across it. The cover affixes to the board by use of a nylon string that runs around the perimeter of the cover. You simply lay the cover over the board, then gently pull the string until the entire cover is taught. You then use a supplied clasp to secure the strings in a taught position, and then use the supplied rubber strap to further secure the center of the the cover. It's not difficult at all, and results in a nice fit. You just have to make sure you are ordering the correct size for your board (I measured mine with a tape measure and then selected the model with the appropriate size for my board). One thing that you need to be aware of is that this cover is not sufficient to be used on its own. It is too thin and has insufficient padding to work alone. You will need to use a felt or similar pad beneath this cover. If you need a new one, Brabantia also makes a really great quality viscose pad that is specifically designed to work in concert with this cover. I would be tempted to give this four stars because the price is a bit high (especially when you add in the pad, if you need a new one), but the quality and performance of this item make it a five star rating in my thinking. (I had the same feelings for the pad, as well, and came to the same conclusion). Highly recommended.

I was wary from reading other reviews, but I was desperate to find a replacement cover for my no-name 2002 Walmart(?) wide ironing board. The original cover was a natural colored twill with a foam backing. However, the foam backing was dried out and falling through the surface's grids...had to find something but nothing in the stores fit my 48x18" board. Good ol' Amazon--I want to rename you Amazin'! This cover is superior to my original because it has the silvery slick surface for ironing and the padding is better than my original board's. I love my board because it's wide and very tall. This cover, although it fits up to 49", still adjusts snugly for my 48" board. The "shoulders" are at the exact right place--though because the cover has a drawstring closure, it should fit boards that taper at different places than mine. Note that the cover has little perforation holes which I didn't realize, but seems fine. I was certain from others' reviews that I'd need some sort of additional pad--but NO. This is fine all by itself to prevent any grid marks from coming through. (what are you guys ironing on--sheepskin?!) I was also worried that this "upscale" brand cover wouldn't work with my good old Walmart board--but it's perfect. It also comes with a little rubber band type bungee cord. I didn't really need to add it, but didn't want to just throw it out, so I did. I think most people will be very happy with this product and am SO glad I overlooked some of the negative reviews. (and it came in 2 days!)

One would think that if a person had invested in a wider than standard ironing board, they actually do some ironing. The fit of this cover IS very nice. The surface, too, is nice. But, I would have GLADLY paid another $5 for more padding...any padding really. This cover has virtually NO padding whatsoever. I can see the diamond grid marks of my ironing board through EVERYTHING that I have yet tried to iron, even cotton shirts. And, to iron anything even remotely related to satin, I need to put about 3 layers of padding on top of the board (making the surface of the cover....uh....useless). I really feel that I would get better results going the "college route" and ironing items on my bed. Now I have to find a non-standard pad to go under this cover. Shame on Brabantia for cutting corners to save a buck.

Warning seems a strange title for a 5 star review...but I must issue the warning nonetheless. My cover arrived with a broken adjustment cord, or it had never been secured, so when I began pulling the cords at the front of the board, they began sliding out of the cover altogether. Perhaps had I not been talking on the speaker phone I would have noticed the problem before the cords were almost halfway out. As it was I needed to dig out my knitting supplies and a large eye needle so I could re-thread the cord into the cover. Then I had to tie off the broken ends of the cord. When I tried to use the band that comes with the cover, it caused the cord to come undone and I had to re-thread a portion of it a second time. So be sure your cord is in one piece or has been tied off at the square back end before trying to fit the cover at the front. So why a 5-star rating you may ask...because this cover fits my board the way the Polder cover never did. Once the issue of the broken cord was resolved it was very easy to adjust the fit of the cover...which is wrinkle free and ready meet my iron. Rowenta DW9080 Steamium 1800-Watt Steam Iron with 400-Hole Platinum Soleplate Another great purchase from Amazon For any of you who may not have purchased a replacement cover for your European style ironing boards...they are not all shaped alike and the Polder cover does not have those "shoulders" near the front of the board so it never quite fits.

Bought a decent ironing board (not at Amazon, elsewhere), it suffered from having a thin, flimsy cover and a thin pad. My mom taught me to press hard with the iron, "smash the wrinkles out", so I do. That caused the pattern of the ironing surface of the board to come through the original thin cover and pad , transferred onto my clothes, giving them small waffle/ fish scale indentations. This is a very reasonably priced cover so I took a gamble. Happy I did. It's made of aluminized cotton which reflects the heat back into the garment and gives it a tough, non-stick surface and it's perforated so the steam escapes easily. It's slightly over-sized for my 49x18 ironing board, so there's plenty of material to wrap around and securely fasten it. The best part is the way that it attaches to the board. It has a strong nylon string stitched into it's perimeter that you cinch down tightly to hold it on. Included is a small plastic piece that grabs the two ends of string allowing you to cinch it even tighter, then the excess string wraps around it. THEN, there's a taught rubber bungee type cord that goes towards the wide end of the board, underneath with hooks on each end that grabs the string on each side (you have to pull on it pretty hard to get it clasped on each side), that further tensions the string and really pulls out all of the wrinkles and holds the cover on tight (see the photos above if my description lost you). I retained the thin polyester mat/ pad that was under the original cover and used that in addition to this cover. This cover has a thin layer of foam bonded to the underside, but by itself, it's not enough of a pad- you need a layer of felt or polyester- i.e., an ironing board pad. You can't use just this cover by itself, it'd be too thin. The instructions included do say that, BTW, so any other reviewers here whining that it's too thin should RTFM (read the freaking manual). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, because it would be perfect if they included a second rubber bungee for the thinner end of the board as well. It's nice and tight at the wider end with the included bungee, it'd be perfect if it were that tension the whole length. I can get one for a few $$ at a local shop, which I will. Update June 22 2013: I use this cover 5~6 mornings per week to iron work shirts, also to iron regular clothes as well and have for over 1 1/2 years now. It is still going strong!!! No obvious signs of wear. I use heavy spray starch when I iron which builds up, but a spray of warm water and a terry towel wipes it right off. I've worn out the pad liner underneath it so I am back on Amazon to buy a replacement (found a heavy duty cotton pad which should last longer). This cover is still solid and performing. The price of this has gone up $4.00 since I bought it but it is still well worth it. Get it. Update April 2024. I've now bought a few of these, and I've tried others to save money. These are worth the extra money. Others burn and crack, these last. Others are ill-fitting, these fit. Once you have them attached snugly you run a hot iron over the entire surface and it'll shrink slightly to a tight fit. You can't iron a shirt flat if the surface is not flat. The coating is good, etc. This is the one.

This is the best ironing board cover I have had in a very, very, long time. I have an oversized ironing board, and this one fits like a glove. No gaps or pleats, perfect lenght/width, stays snug at the tip. It has 100's of tiny dotlike impressions the reflect the heat/steam back at the garment taking a lot of work out of ironing an item. Takes the wrinkles out in one pass vs. repeatedly covering the same area. You can complete ironing in half the time.

What can you say about this pad, the quality is good. Its a teflon covered with micro perf holes throughout the pad. I actually was not aware that it was micro-perfed. I ideally I would have preferred it to be fully teflon less the perforations. I do have to say that it is holding up well and allowing the steam to penetrate through the item being ironed instead of being reflected off the cover up toward the iron and ultimately your hand. I think its fine, hope it lasts at least a year.

Nice and cushiony. Easy to put on. I installed it over the old one for extra padding.

Nice colour and timely delivered
