Review on ๐Ÿงบ Ecru Brabantia Thick Foam & Felt Padding Ironing Board Cover, Size C (49 x 18 in) by Doug Cardello

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Brabantia quality isn't what it used to be and false advertising

Firstly the advertised product is 'very thick foam and felt backing'. This was for my original cover. Now there is only a cheap foam layer, but no felt. Initially there were separate layers, but now the foam is sewn to the cover so the lack of a felt layer is not visible. The product information on the package shows that it is only cotton cover and polyester foam --- no felt. It's not particularly thick. Second, the design has changed. The sewn-in foam now creates a seam at the edge of the board, while the original cover had no such seam. The seam is poorly sewn, which is why the fabric of the cover has many folds on the surface of the board, and it is impossible to fully stretch the cover, leaving the whole thing ill-fitting and uneven. In general, the cover is an excellent disappointment. Next time I will consider other options - other brands are the same size.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Big and bulky
