Ironing board covers...What size and where to get????
So I've had this ironing board which has been good to me over the years which I intend to keep for many many years to come but it seems it is time for me to replace the cover for it. The current cover for it has gotten soo thin that, when I iron clothes, the mesh of the board comes straight through to my clothes. Very irritating indeed. Also it is heavily stained/lightly burned and just about to tear...
Anyways, I've been looking around for a decent thick cover for my beloved ironing board that, for the love of me, cannot find the exact size to match the board. I've measured the board to be 124cm in length, 46cm in width, and 2cm in depth all the way around. Also, it is tapered at the end.
The question is, do I need to shop around for that exact measurement (i.e. 124cm x 46cm) or do I need to add a couple of cm on the length and width because of the depth (i.e. 128cm x 50cm) and look for that measurement? I can't seem to find either of these sizes but if I do, which one do I get?
I'm looking for precise exact fittings so that it is neither too much or too less.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated

Yeh currently at the moment I'm improvising with different types of cloths including towels but ironing at the edges of the ironing board (especially at the tapered end) becomes very annoying
I was looking for exact size (124 x 46), but I'm coming across a lot of 124 x 45 measurements only. Thing is tho, if I do get the 124 x 45 would that fit precisely...
Something like this , sure you will find cheaper, just for illustration.
yeah was looking at them for a replacement for my massive board beldray cover (147cm).
the aldi ones were only 122cm long though
I'm assuming this can be cut to size to fit underneath or is it a fold-over-to-under kind of thing?
Yes these can be cut, know I paid a lot less than this for mine, but to be honest too tired to search tonight because they are literally just a large felt pad they are easy to trim to size, then I use a drawstring cover over the top which holds it all in place.
I'm sure this will do the job... if your a guy .................I am so impressed that you even know what an ironing board is... heat given!
OK, cool. I'll see what I can find regarding this. I'll probs just end up creating my own cover with padding underneath if I can't find my exact size
Something like this should work, the size quoted is for the board size , so at 125 by 47 it should give you enough to go around the edge. Sorry only plain , but should serve it's purpose.
lol thanks, we are living in the 21st century after all
I know, try telling that to my husband! He also does not know about the washing machine!
Thanks, worth a punt for a fiver I might just get this one and see how it goes
Yeah, it is an unusual size although the board is probs over 10-15 years old, give or take a cupla years. Still standing strong and sturdy though mind you. I did contemplate this issue that's why I've held off not buying the 1st thing I see. I will check those sizes you mentioned preferably with drawstrings. Also, I measured the board with a workers measuring tape
Sorry , didn't check the image , just the product description 'DLUX METALLISED HEAT REFLECTIVE IRONING BOARD DRAWSTRING COVER FITS 125x47CM' . PS not shouting , just knackered copy and pasting. So assumed they had correctly described the ironing board size it was for .
