Brabantia Size D (53 x 18 in) Replacement Ironing Board Cover, Heat Resistant Zone, Thick Foam & Felt Padding (Spring Bubbles)

Purchased to replace a very sorry looking original cover on my Brabantia ironing board. Simple to install and fits snuggly in place so ironing board looks brand new again. Definitely worth the extra $ to have the brand name replacement cover.

A few years ago, I traded in my wobbly ironing board for a heavy, sturdy and EXCELLENT one from Brabantia. Of course, it needed to be properly outfitted with a pad and a cover. The first one I purchased has now worn out and I replaced it with another from Brabantia, only this time I added a thick polyester felt pad. You cut it to fit your particular board (by tracing it) and secure it by tightening the cover. Fits like a dream and really improves the ironing experience and outcome. Call me a nerd; I don't mind.

This fit my ironing board perfectly with very little cutting to size. It is nice and thick. High quality materials!

Bought a decent ironing board (not at Amazon, elsewhere), it suffered from having a thin, flimsy cover and a thin pad. My mom taught me to press hard with the iron, "smash the wrinkles out", so I do. That caused the pattern of the ironing surface of the board to come through the original thin cover and pad , transferred onto my clothes, giving them small waffle/ fish scale indentations.This is a very reasonably priced cover so I took a gamble. Happy I did. It's made of aluminized cotton which reflects the heat back into the garment and gives it a tough, non-stick surface and it's perforated so the steam escapes easily. It's slightly over-sized for my 49x18 ironing board, so there's plenty of material to wrap around and securely fasten it.The best part is the way that it attaches to the board. It has a strong nylon string stitched into it's perimeter that you cinch down tightly to hold it on. Included is a small plastic piece that grabs the two ends of string allowing you to cinch it even tighter, then the excess string wraps around it. THEN, there's a taught rubber bungee type cord that goes towards the wide end of the board, underneath with hooks on each end that grabs the string on each side (you have to pull on it pretty hard to get it clasped on each side), that further tensions the string and really pulls out all of the wrinkles and holds the cover on tight (see the photos above if my description lost you).I retained the thin polyester mat/ pad that was under the original cover and used that in addition to this cover. This cover has a thin layer of foam bonded to the underside, but by itself, it's not enough of a pad- you need a layer of felt or polyester- i.e., an ironing board pad. You can't use just this cover by itself, it'd be too thin. The instructions included do say that, BTW, so any other reviewers here whining that it's too thin should RTFM (read the freaking manual).I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, because it would be perfect if they included a second rubber bungee for the thinner end of the board as well. It's nice and tight at the wider end with the included bungee, it'd be perfect if it were that tension the whole length. I can get one for a few $$ at a local shop, which I will.Update June 22 2013:I use this cover 5~6 mornings per week to iron work shirts, also to iron regular clothes as well and have for over 1 1/2 years now. It is still going strong!!! No obvious signs of wear. I use heavy spray starch when I iron which builds up, but a spray of warm water and a terry towel wipes it right off. I've worn out the pad liner underneath it so I am back on Amazon to buy a replacement (found a heavy duty cotton pad which should last longer). This cover is still solid and performing.The price of this has gone up $4.00 since I bought it but it is still well worth it. Get it.

It fits well on my Brabantia ironing board.Installation was easy and it looks and feels sturdy. As for durability, I'm unable to judge as I just got it, but seems well made.

Easy to change out, great instructions included.

Been using Brabantia for years and never failed to meet my expectations. I bought the complete replacement set. Product is the same one I bought in UK. Excellent quality.

Amazon reacted incredibly quickly!!!! I have just got the second replacement tonight. Again, many thanks Amazon. I greatly appreciate your efforts.However, it’s nothing to do with Amazon though, this product is just bad and looks terribly cheap so that we would only waste our money on nothing. If it were like 10 bucks, I think I would compromise it’s quality though.The first one was simply defect and the second one was with big brown stains.I leave my review about the first review. Hope it will help you:I have just got a replacement. And this time there are BIG DIRTY STAINS!! How disappointing!!!The first one was defect and another string didn’t move at all. It took me more than 30 minutes to give it a try. In the end, I figured out that it WAS kaput from the very beginning.The second one looks like used for ages and there are huge, looks-like-burned dark spots.The product seems like as if it had been stocked for decades.At least, Amazon reacted immediately after complaining about the first one. And the new one was delivered two days later and I was very happy about their quick reaction. Amazon does care about us!! Well done!However, it makes me extremely frustrated and disappointed that even the new replacement was not in a perfect condition to offer consumers in general. I have never experienced something like this before.I have been using Brabantia products for uncountless years and was always completely satisfied with them. Indeed, I am one of their loyal customers. They used to symbolize “QUALITY”.However, this product itself is poor. The material is super thin and looks cheap. BUT it’s all about good wills and sincerity. Those represent the entire company, which are more important than just its quality.It took me a plenty of time, money and above all huge disappointments after being delivered twice in a row. Time is money and we cannot buy time.Nevertheless, all the bad experiences now, big thanks for your efforts, dear Amazon!

this did not fit my board...!!

The original ironing board cover that was sold with the actual Brabantia ironing board was poorly made. This replacement cover fits securely as the foam is stitched into the cover and does not shift. The outer material can be wiped clean.

I tried 2 different ironing board covers before this one and they were both too narrow for my 18” wide ironing board.This one fit perfectly and is a high quality product all the way around.Top marks for this product…it was about $10 more expensive but well worth the additional cost!

Produto de excelente qualidade. Vale cada centavo do valor. Satisfação completa!

Le queda perfecto a mi burro de planchar, es de muy buena calidad.
