Best Extra Wide Ironing Board
I thought there must be an easier way to iron large bedsheets. I needed a larger ironing surface so I looked to find the best extra wide ironing board.
The additional width, and hence more working area, would speed up pressing larger clothes, towels, and the bed linen.
I wanted something that had a larger than average smoothing surface but was still portable and could be stored without difficulty. It was also important that the greater size did not compromise stability.
It must have a flat, capacious, well-padded top so that creases are easily removed from garments and linen. There must also be a secure rest for the iron, between pressings. The height should be adjustable to suit all users.
I chose the following for consideration, based on the above essentials and their individual features. Also on the comments and ratings from existing users.
It is 19 inches wide making it the widest in this selection. There are four available heights from 30 to 38 inches.
The top is metal mesh with a thick multiple layered covering of felt, foam and extra thick cotton.
It has robust T-shaped legs that provide a stable ironing platform and a safety lock to prevent accidental collapse.
There is an attached basket to store small items. This may be useful to someone who uses the surface as a worktable for sewing or quilting.
It has a perforated steel top with a cover of heat resistant cotton over a felt pad. A separate sleeve board is provided.
It adjusts to a maximum height of 34 inches which may make it ergonomically unsuitable for taller users.
It has an integrated iron rest, with silicone pads, and a handy linen rack. The legs lock in position for easy carrying and storage.
The height is adjustable to a maximum of 39 inches.
There is a child proof lock to prevent accidental folding and another to keep it folded for easy moving.
It comes with a 10 year guarantee.
