Product Overview
The Home Genie Ironing Board Cover is made to upgrade an average ironing board into one that has a more padded smooth ironing area. A heat reflecting top layer is used in order to help reflect heat from the iron back onto clothing so you can get the job done faster. The cover has cushioned padding on all sides of it as well as elastic edge material. These two features will allow this cover to be able to stretch and wrap around your standard size ironing board.

Bottom Line
The Home Genie Ironing Board Cover is an economical way to improve your experience with a smooth, clean ironing surface that doesn't require replacement of the entire board.
