Is the padding thick? I am looking to replace my current cover because its thin and when I iron, the diamond pattern of the board itself irons into my clothes.

The padding is adequate. I use a metallic pad next to my ironing board to reflect the heat from my iron, then cover that pad with a cotton cover (also comes with padding). My old metallic pad lasted 40+ years, but I change my upper cotton pad about every two years. I am a quilter and like the extra "cush" for opening up seams. I am also old school enough to iron some of our clothes...

Yes, it is. I was also ironing my board's pattern into my shirts before I replaced it with this cover!

No! No! Triple No! I thought that it was thick, but it's really thin. When I iron clothes, the ironing board print gets on my clothes.

When I replaced my cover, I left the foam from the old cover (which was very thin) on the ironing board and slipped this cover over. What I have now is plenty thick enough.

To date, this has not happened. I did add additional padding to the ironing surface. I like the spacial ironing surface andadjustable height. The metal work on the one end seems superfluous; the cord often gets caught on it.

The outer cover is a nice, smooth cotton/muslin type of material. It doesn't move or shift when you are ironing. Underneath the outer cover is nice, thick padding. The whole thing is substantial, very well constructed.

The area that you iron on is wood. I bought a cover with thin pad for the ironing area and am very satisfied with its durability. The supportive structure under the board is metal.

It's definitely not as thick as an ottor box. It is slim which is why I chose it. I like the logo on the back and the color. I've dropped it several times, no problem. I hope that helps.

Our old board is 54" long and the cover fits with room to spare. The cinch cord makes it snug, so it should work on slightly smaller board just as well. The pad is not very thick, but so far it works well for ironing dress shirts, pants, etc. We've had the cover for several months and are happy with it.

Cameron, The padding in my case is very thick. I have a Norman guitar as well and the case is the same construct as the one I purchased for the Seagull Mini Jumbo. I am very pleased with it. Frank

Yes I would say the covering feels thick. I would be surprised if the cover material pealed off.

Your question is about the board itself and not about the blue ironing board cover which is what I purchased here. However, (and your board may be a little different), my board has a round, smooth button at the bottom of the outer frame, on the right hand side (it kind of blends in with the look of the frame, but it IS a button). If yours is the same, press it in with your right thumb, and maybe use your left hand to kind of guide the board down, and you should be all set. That's all I can tell you about that. Hope it works for you. : )

Mine fit both my iron w/ retractable cord and a Y-style board. I have to put the iron in at a particular angle, but it is secure in there. I wouldn't trust a very heavy Y-style board on there, but your average board is fine.

It's a thick pad that goes between a regular sized ironing board and the cover. My cover has a built-in string that cinches tight. The pad is not a rectangle; but shaped like a standard ironing board. It was a little long but was easy to trim with scissors. I am very happy with it. This pad would be especially good if your ironing board surface is metal mesh instead of smooth flat steel. I hope this was helpful.

I don't know if these are compatible or not. I am from Canada and they sell the iron board here but there is no replacement pad for them. I will say that the cover I ordered is an awesome pad. It has steam holes in it and it gives a beautiful pressing job. Sorry I couldn't help you. Good luck.

The pad is about 1/2" thick and measures 15 1/2" x 62.5". It is a rectangle and fits on my ironing board under the regular cover. There is enough of the pad to be wrapped around the edges of the ironing board under the cover. It fits nicely and does make ironing easier. Hope that helps.

I've had mine since April of 2013 and it as only just now started to peel the outer textured cover off. The padding is still intact. If I can get the padding off, I 'll buy another set for it.

Hi, I'll be honest, I think it's too thin. In my opinion this is more like the weight of card stock. I had bought it thinking it was going to be a bit heavier. I envision tagboard as being weightier than this.

why yes it is... I love this ironing board, it is wider than the usual... It is heavy, but that keeps it from tipping over. Love mine
