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.

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.

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.

After 15 years of use I wanted a new cover for my Brabantia ironing board and thought the grey one might be better at hiding future stains. The stain-resistant part of this review will have to wait a while, but in the meantime I'll give my thoughts about the rest. First of all, the grey cover initially had a funny feel to it...kind of a tacky rubber-ish feel, and my iron didn't glide over it the top of it like the old ecru cover (which was a muslin type fabric). I think it may have just needed some breaking in though, because it seems to be getting less 'tacky' the more and more I use it. Yes, the foam padding is quite thin, but I use an added cotton pad that I made from quilt batting so it's not an issue for me (it may or not matter for this review but I rarely iron clothes, 99% of the time I use an iron only when pressing fabric when making quilts). The cover fit perfectly and was easy to put on, even with my extra pad under it. I like the plastic clip that makes it easy to tie off, and the additional clip that makes it fit tight near the center. All in all I like the Bratantia covers though they really do need thicker pads, or ones made of cotton instead of foam. I would probably buy one again, but only time will tell if it would be an ecru or grey one.

I was concerned about this cover but figured that I would give it a try-especially since the price was so reasonable. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It fit perfectly, was very easy to install and I love the silver material. Early reviews had complained about the thinness of the padding so I just left my old cover on and put this new one over it. It worked like a charm! I am so glad that I didn't splurge on the $50 one from a well know retailer. Ironing is a breeze with my new cover and my Rowenta steam iron. Don't hesitate to order this from Amazon!

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.

Buen producto pero la atención al cliente de Amazon es pésima !!!

Nice colour and timely delivered

Excellent quality jut a bit fiddly to install

The item delivered was a thin material cover with no foam or padding. Very disappointing. The predict didn’t match the description.

Gutes Material und neutrales Muster.
