This silicone coated ironing board pad makes ironing easier. When I would use steam on a fabric ironing board cover, the garment would often cling to the cover, and I would spend extra time moving the garment around and smoothing it out. With a silicone covered pad, the garment slides easily on it and makes the task not quite so difficult. In addition, since it is scorch-resistant, there are no unsightly steam stains that are left behind. I would order this product again and recommend it to anyone who irons frequently.

It fits well, is easy to put on the ironing board, but do be sure to smooth out the underlining as you put it on so you will not have wrinkles under the cover. Once this is done it will not have to be smoothed again.

Over 30 years ago, my mother, who prided herself on her immaculate laundry and ironing skills, introduced me to the benefit of buying a Teflon coated ironing board cover. It had a metal-like woven surface that was coated with a somewhat tacky surface, which held the garment in place and reflected the heat from the iron and heated both sides of the item at the same time. This speeded up the ironing process and resulted in a much nicer finished product. I loved how much better it performed over a regular cloth cover. I bought one for myself back then and have used nothing else, since.

As my old covers would wear out, I would go in search of another, identical cover as a replacement. Along the way, I learned that having thick padding underneath the cover enhanced the result and eliminated any marks from the metal board underneath. As one cover would wear out, I would simply layer the next cover atop the old to increase the padding.

For some reason, it has been difficult to find replacement covers like this in recent years. The local stores seem to only carry the cheap, cloth ones. Recently I found myself in need of a new cover, as my old one had developed a tear. I searched high and low and decided on the Kennedy Home Collection 2452 Scorch Resistant Silicone Coated Ironing Board Pad and Cover. HURRAH! It is perfection! It has everything I was looking for: the "Teflon" coating, a super thick attached pad (cannot bunch or move independently underneath), elastic around the entire bottom for a secure attachment to your board, AND two velcro straps in the middle underneath to further secure the cover to the board. It has the "tacky" surface which holds garments where you want them and heats evenly on both sides.I HIGHLY recommend this pad and cannot imagine that you could want anything more in an ironing board cover. The price is excellent and I may order a second one just to be sure I don't have trouble getting one in the future!

I desperately needed a new cover for my iron board and read through all the reviews to find a decent and affordable cover. This cover is perfect in terms of fit and smoothness. You just need to make sure that you smooth the lining so that there wont be any lines underneath. I took one star off for the ridiculous purple speckled color they sent me. I know that it says colors may vary, but I don't know why they would ever send out that color. I would rather have taken that neutral color they show in the picture. So, be warned that the color they send you might not suit your taste...

I was excited to receive this ironing board pad/cover based on the good reviews. It's worth the price, but I won't order another one. I received it in blue, which is okay. The package says: "frequent use, 1-2 uses a week; made in China. All Kennedy International board covers are warranted for 3 years. Just return the product with a letter of explanation and a check for $10 to cover fees", as stated on the package.

It fits my standard ironing board well and secures with two velcro fasteners underneath the board. I've been ironing for many, many years as I love to iron. This cover has a gripping effect to the garment. You literally have to peel the garment off the board to move it around. I've never had a silicone cover quite like this and don't like it. There's no difference in this silicone coated cover and the cotton cover I've purchased in the past for the same price. I thought the silicone would save a bit of time, but it doesn't at all. I think it may take more time to iron. I always make my purchase decisions from Amazon's informative reviews. This product was a let down. They just don't make things like they used to make them.

After looking at Target, Sears and Fred Meyer, no one carried a decent quality replacement cover that had a silicone treatment. The silicone does make a difference when you are using a quality steam iron. It helps the clothing to easily slide along the board and not stick (like it would if you had simply a cotton cover). This cover is great! Good construction, quality fabric, fits snugly on the board and nice silicone treatment for the money. I live in the Seattle area and the shipment arrived within 2 days. I did get the purple one that everyone seems to not like, but I will you - it's actually a light lavender pastel color and not bad at all. It has some gold/silver flecks but it's ingrained in the material. No big deal!

I was taught to iron at a very early age by a Leave It to Beaver homemaker perfectionist mother (so I know what I'm doing!) and this replacement cover is very good for the money. It's a great cover - I will not wear anything out of the house without having a crisp crease ;-) Definitely glad I purchased it and didn't settle for what I found in the local retailers!

love this padded cover. great fit, snug with no shifting even with the pressure from ironing. if you just have to iron your favorite shirt, this is the cover for you.

There isn't much to add to all the compliments this ironing board has earned except to punctuate the praise.

Sometimes in life, the smallest of conveniences make life more pleasurable. Such is the case here. The fit of this cover along with its 3-year guarantee makes me wish I had tossed my old covers years ago.

Others have commented on smoothing out the padding before installing, and I'll add this reminder: Do pull the velcro tabs on either side out from under the pad before sliding on the cover. From the moment you start ironing on your new cover, you'll find the task easier than ever before.

I love this ironing board cover. You can't beat the price. The one thing I don't like is there is a little excess fabric because I have a holder for my iron built in and the cover does not supply for that! Other than that, this has made ironing easier. The clothes come out very crisp! The lining is the thickest I have ever had on a pad. I can already tell that this pad will last a long time!

Have a regular full size ironing board that needed a replacement cover (and one of better quality than was originally on it).
This one arrived on time, and fit perfectly with the two Velcro straps.
What's odd is the package's description of "Frequent Use" being 1-2 uses a week. I don't have the expertise to know if that means 1-2 3 hour sessions of ironing per week or 1-2 shirts a week, but the quality seems to be durable enough for my use.
This thing does have a "3YR Warranty" sticker on the pad - which leaves residue on your hands and the cover after removal, but a damp cloth fixes that. Finally, as expected the color I got was not the one shown, but it was light blue - so certainly not complaining.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for an ironing board cover.
