Choose Your Ironing Surface: Wider or Longer?
A wider ironing surface gives you more room to spread out shirts, bedding and household linens. A longer surface provides more length for positioning trousers and longer garments.
- 127 × 46 cm: the widest surface of these four models, with an adjustable height of up to 105 cm.
- 140 × 40 cm: the longest ironing surface in this comparison, with a narrower 40 cm width.
- 125 × 45 cm: a broad ironing surface with a lower minimum working height of 60 cm.
Before choosing, measure the floor space where you normally iron. Allow room for the board, its holder and comfortable movement around it.
The Two 127 × 46 cm Models
Both 127 × 46 cm models offer an extra-wide ironing surface, height adjustment between 80 and 105 cm, a steel frame and non-slip feet. Each weighs 10 kg and folds to 170 × 48 × 7 cm.
Their padded covers combine a cotton top layer, foam and felt to provide a cushioned ironing surface.
To.123: Extra-Wide Surface with Steam Unit Holder
The To.123 model includes a steam unit holder and a safety lock to help prevent accidental folding. Its broad surface and higher adjustment range are useful features to compare if you regularly iron larger items.

To.126: Steam Unit Holder with Hanger

Check Height, Storage and Iron Compatibility
- Working height: choose a range that allows you to iron comfortably without repeatedly bending or raising your shoulders.
- Storage space: measure your cupboard or storage area against the folded length, width and depth.
- Moving the board: consider the 8 kg or 10 kg weight if you regularly carry it between rooms.
- Steam unit holder: compare your iron or steam generator base with the holder dimensions and the model’s instructions.
- Setup: fully engage the height adjustment mechanism and place the feet on a level surface before use.
