With so many ironing boards to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start. Here are some things to consider when making the right choice for you and your family: I have a Leifheit ironing board which I bought because it was lightweight” (Tried and tested by Mumsnet user FrogFairy) Our verdict For those of you who want to blitz your ironing in no time, this extra wide ironing board from Boardman is the largest ironing board on our list. Thanks to its extra wide, uniquely shaped design, it makes ironing shirts, sheets and bed linen feel less like a chore and dare we say it… almost enjoyable? Type of board - Is the ironing board a full-size, compact, tabletop or over-the-door design? If you iron regularly, especially larger items such as bed linen that require a more substantial flat surface, a full-sized board will be the most efficient choice. If you’re limited on storage space, however, or iron less regularly, you may choose to opt for a more compact model that is easier to bring out as and when required. Steam generator irons are relatively large and bulky due to their integrated water tank, and as such, you’ll need to choose an ironing board with a strong iron rest that can accommodate their additional size and weight.
