Ironing boards are as essential as irons in order to get the wrinkles out of your freshly washed clothes and linens effectively and efficiently. Matching a board to your height is vital for comfort or, for some, being able to position it for ironing in a seated position could be a requirement. The board also needs to suit the items you iron, and it should fit your storage space as well. The best offers are right here.

Super sized
You can iron linens easily on this board which has surface dimensions of 135 by 45cm. A shoulder shape is incorporated to cope with shirts, and a pointed side makes ironing trousers hassle-free. The board is suitable for those who need to iron sitting down, and, for standing use, can be adjusted between 61 and 102cm.

If you live in a small house or flat, this compact ironing board could be a brilliant choice. Choose from two ironing heights with a maximum of 33cm.
