The ironing boards in this category: one design in three lengths
All ironing boards in this category are the same model of folding standing board, differing only in overall length. The length is measured including the iron rest, so the working surface itself is slightly shorter than the number. The cover, iron rest and metal legs are identical in all three versions.
Ironing board 120 cm: the long version, with the largest working surface. Suited to anyone who irons a lot of long garments, dresses, curtains and tablecloths, and to a workroom where the board stays open permanently.
Ironing board 110 cm: the medium version. Saves space compared with 120 cm while still offering a surface for most jobs, and suits small rooms and crowded workstations.
Ironing board 90 cm: the small version, which takes up the least space. Handy next to the sewing machine, for pressing seams and hems as you work, and for small pieces.
What the three boards have in common
100% cotton cover in gray: cotton breathes and lets steam pass through, and fabric glides over it without catching. The gray shade hides signs of use and gives good contrast for both light and dark fabrics.
Dedicated iron rest: a frame with grip pads at the wide end of the board. Between passes the iron stands on it instead of staying on the fabric.
X-shaped metal legs: a structure that keeps the board stable when you press down while ironing thick fabric. The ends of the legs have protective caps against slipping and floor scratches.
Folds to a flat profile: after work the board closes and fits behind a door, beside a wardrobe or in a corner of the sewing room.
Good to know: these are standard ironing boards, not an active ironing table with surface heating, vacuum and blowing. Such a table is needed mainly in industrial sewing workshops and laundries. For everyday ironing at home, in the studio and in a small sewing workshop, a board with a cotton cover and a stable iron rest is enough for most jobs.
How to choose an ironing board
Experienced seamstresses know that much of a finished garment's look is decided on the ironing board, not at the machine: a seam pressed open, a hem pressed before sewing, interfacing fused with even pressure. So the choice is not just about what fits in the closet, but about how you work. Three questions help you decide:
What you iron: long garments, fabric before cutting, curtains and tablecloths need a long surface so you move the fabric fewer times. Seams, hems and small pieces work fine on a short board too.
Where the board stands: a long board suits a permanent workroom. In a small room, a sewing corner or a crowded workstation, a 110 or 90 cm board is more convenient.
How long it stays open: a board that is opened and closed several times a day next to the machine needs to be easy to move. A board that stays open all day can be the longest one that fits in the room.
The right working height
When standing, the board surface should be at about hip height or slightly above. At that height your arms do the work, your elbow is slightly bent and your back does not bend. A board that is too low tires your back after a short time, and one that is too high makes it hard to press down on the iron.
Pressing in sewing: a few rules
Press, don't glide: in sewing you set the iron down, press and lift, rather than sliding it back and forth. That way the seam doesn't stretch and the fabric doesn't distort.
Press every seam before sewing a seam that crosses it: once the pieces are joined, some seams are no longer accessible.
Pressing cloth: with wool, velvet and dark fabrics, place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent shine and seam impressions.
Remove pins before pressing: plastic pin heads may melt, and even metal pins leave an imprint in the fabric.
Set the iron down only on the iron rest: even a short pause with a hot iron on the fabric leaves a mark.
Ironing board and ironing hams
A flat board suits flat pieces. A sleeve already closed into a tube, a sleeve cap, a dart or a collar point gets creases and fold lines on it. That is why seamstresses keep one or two ironing hams next to the board. The long sleeve board, about 56 cm long, slips inside a sleeve or trouser leg, and the mushroom ham suits curved areas. All the hams are in the parent category Ironing hams.
Ironing board covers: when to replace
The cover is the first part to wear out. Scorch marks, a torn cover, or padding compressed to the point where you can feel the board's structure underneath are signs it is time to replace it. A worn cover transfers the board's structure to the fabric and leaves marks on delicate fabrics. To extend the cover's life, fold the board only after the cover has cooled and dried.
Pressing as part of the sewing process
In the studio, the board works together with the rest of the equipment. After pressing the seams, check how the garment drapes on a dress form, and find the rest of your tools in the Sewing supplies category. A pressed, finished garment is best hung on a suitable hanger and kept in a dress and suit cover, so it reaches the client just as it left the board. In clothing stores, the board is also used to smooth items before they go on display or are photographed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 90, 110 and 120 cm ironing boards?
The only difference is the length. The gray cotton cover, the iron rest and the X-shaped metal legs are identical in all three versions. The 120 cm board suits long garments and large pieces of fabric, the 110 cm board suits small rooms and most jobs, and the 90 cm board suits a sewing corner next to the machine.
Does the board length include the iron rest?
Yes. The overall length of each board, 90, 110 or 120 cm, is measured including the iron rest at the wide end. The working surface on which you lay the fabric is slightly shorter than that figure.
What is the ironing board cover made of?
The cover is made of 100% cotton in a gray shade. Cotton breathes, lets steam pass through, and fabric glides over it without catching. The gray shade hides signs of use better than a white cover.
Is the board suitable for ironing with a steam iron?
Yes. The cotton cover is suitable for steam ironing, and the iron rest holds the iron between passes. If you have a steam station with a separate tank, send us its dimensions on WhatsApp and we'll check together whether it fits the iron rest.
Is this an active ironing table?
No. These are standard ironing boards, without a heated surface, suction or blowing. An active ironing table is needed mainly in industrial sewing workshops and dry cleaners; for ironing at home, in a studio or in a small sewing workshop, a board with a cotton cover is enough for most jobs.
How high should the board surface be?
When standing, the surface should be roughly at hip height or slightly above. That way your elbow is slightly bent, your arms do the work and your back stays straight.
How do you iron a sleeve without a crease down the middle?
On a flat board, the sleeve gets pressed into two layers and picks up a fold line along its length. A sleeve board slides inside the sleeve, so you press one layer at a time and open the seam without marking the other side. You'll find these in the pressing tools category.
When should you replace an ironing board cover?
When scorch marks appear, when the cover tears, or when the padding compresses and you can feel the board's structure underneath. A worn cover leaves marks on delicate fabrics and makes ironing take longer.
How do you store an ironing board?
Fold it only after the cover has cooled and dried, and store it standing or hanging in a dry place. Before folding, remove the iron and let it cool in a safe place.
Can I buy ironing boards at wholesale prices?
Yes. HaBayit LaBubot is a direct importer, and wholesale pricing for businesses, studios and design schools is set by quantity. For details, contact us on WhatsApp at 055-2473993 or by phone at 03-9444226.
