Minky Homecare SmartFit Supersize Ironing Board Cover

I purchased this because my ironing board has a very thin pad. This resulted in waffle-like marks on my clothes when using my steam button. As a child, my mother used to use felted material to place under her ironing board cover's pad in addition to the original pad, so I decided to look for something similar.I am glad that I purchased this product. It was a good size: (About 3/4 sized for an average, cheapie ironing board.) It was thick and easy to put under my 'top' fabric. I kept my original 'pad' which came with the board and just put this new product on top of it.I would buy this again as well as recommend it to others.

Love how big it is! I have one of those big old school ironing boards that it's hard to find a cover to fit. Well this one fits the board and the old cover underneath. The circle pattern isn't as big as they appear on here which is great. So far so good.

My ironing board is 25 years old. It's longer and wider than the boards sold today. This cover is a great fit both for length and width. It's not very thick, but I placed it over my current cover so it's got enough thickness for me.

I have a huge ironing board set up, because I sew. Its one of those Italian boards, and I could not find a cover that fit, until now.This one fits and it does not cost a fortune. However, you will need some really strong cords to purchase separately to pull it tight, otherwise it is lumpy. Really, really lumpy. I do have wool pads under mine--I don't know if that is why, its so lumpy, you would think it would make it more smooth..but I need them in there to steam the fabrics properly, so they are staying on.I paid $7 for it here. Its $15 or 16 at Home Depot. Same exact one.

I was annoyed with my ironing board because I could feel the metal grid thru my iron board cover. After researching what was out there in ironing boards, I thought I would try putting a felt pad under the cover before spending $100 on a new board. I'm glad I did. It was easy to cut the pad to size and put the cover back on. Now I have just the right amount of padding.

It added thickness to my current ironing board cover so I didn't feel the ironing board beneath the cover when I ironed. The directions to cut it to fit were very easy to follow.

I purchased this felt pad as an add-on to the ironing board cover I ordered for my Barbantia board. The added thickness makes a huge difference in the ironing process and the time it takes to achieve a clean, crisp finish for clothes and linens. I would highly recommend this pad!

It was easy to cut to size which was the only thing I needed to do to put it back on the ironing board. I have been using it for a few weeks, and the added thickness has made the steam vent pattern from the ironing board disappear. There is enough padding now my shirts don't show any ironing board pattern in my dress or heavier pullover shirts. Nice work Minky!

I bought this as it was described as 145 x 54cm . However that size includes the over the edge measurement. Actual board size is 140cm by the time it is hooked over the board. I assumed it was the measurement of the top of the board, not the sides as well. So it is 5cm too short and doesn't fit my board. It was fairly padded and would have been nice. except is is useless. So If your board is 140 x 49 then its a great cover. I am really disappointed. Total waste of money, and misleading sizing

Although this was one of the cheaper covers available, it seems a good quality product. We have a large ironing board, 145 cm long by 46 cm wide, and bought the 154 x 54 cm size cover, which just fitted at the widest point (the board is about 2 cm thick and I left the old cover in place for extra padding). The elastic works well, and it took less than a minute to fit. For extra security we got some 'Ironing Board Cover Fastners' (separate review) as cross straps under the board. Have not used it enough to comment on durability, but it seems strong, and I was impressed by (a) UK manufacture (b) Minky are suppliers or ironing board covers to to HMQ :).

I have literally received this within the last hour & as I already had the ironing board set up I decided just to put this on. I followed the intructions to run a hot steam iron over it before use only to find that the large red spots printed on the design were transferring colour to my iron and to the board.Not impressed. Have written to Minky and await their response. The cover will be returned.

I have been wanting to buy a new cover for ages, I have a larger than standard board and was worried about ordering one that didn't fit right.The minky one just arrived and we really did fit it quickly, the elastic is super tight, so it does fit quite well and there is still lots of room for a larger board.I need to do the hot steam iron before i use it but my initial reaction is that it is a good product and at a reasonable price. It also feels nice and thick.

I purchased this minky smartfit felt pad because my iron board was quite uneven, making ironing a huge pain.Now this felt pad changed the game. It made the board really smooth and even, making me super happy, as I do enjoy ironing clothes.My ironing board is a regular sized one but I didn't have to cut to shape the felt pad, the iron board cover hides the extra. I'm glad I went for it ;)
