What size should my ironing board be?

The size of your ironing board depends on various factors, including the type of clothing you usually iron, the available space in your home, and your comfort.

Consider the size of the clothing

• If you often iron large items, such as bed linen and tablecloths, a larger ironing board would be beneficial. A board with a length of 135-140 cm and a width of at least 45 cm should be sufficient.

Consider the available space

• If you live in a small apartment, a compact ironing board may be a better fit. Ideally, boards with a length of 110-120 cm and a width of approx. 40 cm are suitable here.

Comfort

• Also consider your personal comfort. A board that is too small may take up less space, but if you have to bend or stretch while ironing, it can be uncomfortable and even harmful to your back. In this case, a larger size is recommended.

Overall, you should choose an ironing board that best meets your needs while also allowing for comfortable ironing.
