Boardmann Ironing Board - Extra Wide, Blue/Orange/Black, Mesh Back, 3 Year Guarantee (Boardmann Regular)

Product Information

Our testing found that larger ironing boards tended to be more stable and easier to iron on, especially for larger items, such as suits and dresses. As Head of Reviews, her job is to test all the wackiest product launches, whether they're air fryers, bread makers, or juicers, and give you her honest experience. The ironing surface itself is plenty big enough to cope with sheets and duvets, and the iron support is shaped to accommodate both a steam iron and a steam generator. It’s a good width for pressing my craft projects, folds away easily and neatly and seems solid and durable. Just one suggestion is that the iron rest could be made larger and even to accommodate a steam generated iron.

Assembly was easy thanks to a lever on the underside of the board, and this locks which kept us confident that this is a great board for the safety-conscious. 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. A wider design helps you iron more fabric in one pass, no shuffling around saves you time whilst ironing. A 100% cotton lining, strictly made in Italy, and a cover also made in Italy to make the ironing surface smoother.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. It’s height adjustable too, with a secure close system to ensure it stays secure and sturdy, no matter how long you’re using it.

There are two horizontal struts rather than four separate legs, meaning its weight is distributed evenly.So if you want to reduce the amount of time you spend on it, or at the very least, make the process slightly more enjoyable, choosing the right ironing board could make a massive difference. Sturdiness was a big factor, and we also took a close look at any additional features that might make a certain board better suited to different iron types, such as steam generators or cordless irons. A metalised foil layer on the underside of the cover helps to reflect steam and heat back into the laundry, making it easier and quicker to iron pretty much anything. Two questions I constantly asked myself as I effortlessly steamed through the school uniforms on Sunday night. 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.
