For best accuracy, measure your ironing board top with your existing cover removed. If your ironing board measurements fall outside these dimensions, or you're unsure about what size will suit you best, shoot us an email at info@boredhome.com
If you need to wash your cover, the cotton ripstop may soften slightly. This is normal and won't affect performance. Refitting your cover while the fabric is still slightly damp will ease it back into shape as it dries.
- DO NOT WASH FELT UNDERLAY (it won't end well)
- Cold hand wash separately with mild detergent
- Do not dry clean
- Do not bleach or soak
- Do not tumble dry
- Dry flat in the shade
- Iron cotton side only
Materials Built to Last
Carefully selected for the task.
Faster, More Satisfying Ironing
Smooth, supportive, and no shifting while ironing.
Australian Owned
Designed & developed in Brisbane.
The difference?
Fits Better
A rear pocket wraps around the board rear, and a load rated braided nylon cord pulls it drum tight. The result is a firm, secure fit that stays put, press after press.
Lasts Longer
Every material is designed to withstand extreme heat and repetitive abrasion, creating an ironing board cover that provides consistent results for years rather than months.
Smoother, Faster Ironing
Our padding smooths out your ironing boards lumps and bumps, allows steam to permeate, and creates a supportive surface that speeds up your ironing time.
How to fit your cover.
Every material, chosen for a reason.
100% Cotton Ripstop
Responsive to heat, gentle on fabric, naturally breathable so steam passes through cleanly. The ripstop weave adds structural resilience. A tight grid construction that reduces the risk or tears and prevents them from propagating, even under years of sustained use.
Open Cell Silicone Foam
A premium, industrial grade alternative. Open cell silicone foam maintains its structure, tolerates heat that would degrade conventional foam, and allows steam to move freely throughout the cover. No compressing over time, no crumbling under extreme heat.
100% Polyester Felt
Lines the steel mesh frame, and prevents the diamond perforations from working their way into your clothing. Creates an insulation barrier, trapping the heat in while allowing moisture to escape.
550 Paracord + Locking Toggle
A simple drawstring but not as you know it. Braided nylon 550 Paracord built for load-bearing applications. It's probably overkill, but it holds tension without stretching, fraying, or gradually loosening. A dual button toggle clamps each cord end independently, ensuring secure fit.
One cover, any board.
We tested MELIA on a wide range of popular (and unpopular) ironing board shapes and sizes to ensure we achieve the best fit possible. Square nose, round tail, pull out iron rest, we've got you covered.
What's in the box?
One cover, one underlay, zero single use plastic.
Each MELIA cover arrives securely packaged in 100% recyclable packaging that includes simple fitting instructions and useful tips and tricks to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
What our customers have to say.
Quality is amazing - makes ironing much more pleasant.
I genuinely cannot remember the last time I was this excited about a home product! My ironing board cover from Bored is beautifully designed, incredibly high quality and has transformed something that was once an eyesore into something I’m happy to leave on display when I don’t have time to pack it away.
The customer service was warm, thoughtful and genuinely personal from beginning to end. I also love that Bored is a local Brisbane small business creating practical products that make everyday chores feel that little bit nicer.
My cover was kindly gifted, but this is my completely honest experience. I would happily recommend Bored to anyone wanting to give their ironing board a beautiful and functional upgrade!
The product feels high quality and well made. It made ironing feel easy without the lumps and bumps of my old cover that caused creases and burn marks on my clothes.
I couldn’t be happier with this ironing board cover from bored home!
After my previous cover rusted the board from water leaking through, I wanted a cover that would properly protect my ironing board. The quality is excellent – the materials feel durable, it’s comfortable to use, and the dark green colour is beautiful. The Medium size was also a perfect fit for our ironing board.
Customer service exceeded my expectations. Delivery was exceptionally fast, and I loved the thoughtful packaging, especially that it arrived without unnecessary plastic wrapping.
I’m confident this cover will last for many years, and I’m proud to support an Aussie-owned business that clearly values both quality and customer experience. Highly recommend!
Honestly didn't think I'd ever be this excited about an ironing board cover but here we are.
The quality is next level. I've bought plenty of covers over the years and nothing even comes close to this. It feels so well made, fits perfectly, stays put and just makes ironing so much better.
You can tell there's been a huge amount of thought put into every little detail. I'm seriously impressed and can see this lasting for years.
If you're on the fence, just get one. I never thought I'd rave about an ironing board cover, but this one has absolutely won me over!
So easy to fit my new cover and being nice and snug on the board straight away is impressive. I love that is so easy to iron on as it's not my favourite activity and the green colour is just beautiful!
As a person who wears dark colours most days, I am a big fan of the Melia cover. Speeds up the process of ironing each morning and no more waffle marks on my clothes.
The bedding process took a couple of days for the cover to form to my very narrow ironing board, even during that time it still worked a treat. Just gave the cover an iron before I started and didn't think twice.
I never thought I'd be writing a glowing review for an ironing board cover yet here I am. (My twenty year old self is crying right now.) But seriously, this product is brilliant.
I somehow ended up with a built-in, fold-out ironing board -- the kind that only an architect would think is a good idea -- and in seven years I never found a decent quality cover I could take on and off with ease. So I just kept using the big ole heavy wooden ironing board my mum gave me when I first moved out (last century).
The Melia Ironing Board Cover is elegant, simple to use and is exceptionally high quality. It's basically the Ferrari Purosangue of ironing board covers. It's the ultimate upgrade for a Gen Xer who isn't in the luxury car market. You're welcome.
I bought covers from Spotlight and Bunnings and had to return them due to poor fit, not decent padding etc. So I looked online and ordered a cover from Bored. It’s perfect. Fits well. Stays in place. Helps with ironing (not that there is anything good about ironing!!) and looks pretty good!! Highly recommend.
Really impressed with this ironing board cover. The quality feels premium from the moment you unpack it, and it’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the overall design and user experience.
It was easy to put onto the ironing board, fits really well and feels like a genuinely well made product. Most importantly, it gives noticeably better results than other covers I’ve used previously - the iron glides nicely and clothes come out looking much smoother.
It also looks great in the home, which is a nice bonus. Rather than something you want to hide away, it actually feels like a considered, well designed product.
Overall, a really well executed product. Highly recommend.
What a great cover! Fits like a glove and works exactly as described. Quality workmanship and attention to detail that you certainly won't find at Kmart - very glad someone finally created an ironing board cover that doesn't look cheap and nasty. Highly recommend this product, it's worth every dollar! And it also comes with fabulous customer service and super fast delivery. Thanks!
Perfect! That's all I need to say
Absolutely loving our new ironing board cover! It fits perfectly and looks great! I would highly recommend this product.
It's awesome when you finally find a product you wished you had decades ago.
So much better than the standard cover that came with my ironing board. 10/10 would buy again
Very happy - looks great, very smooth sliding cover with no problem areas making for lumps and bumps under your clothes.
The quality is next level. We’ve been putting up with horrible covers for years now. This cover is in a league of its own.
You don’t need a new ironing board you just need a new cover! What a difference. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of a new board, just replace the cover first!!
FAQ's
We’ve put together a sizing chart to make finding the right cover as simple as possible.
With your existing cover removed, measure the length of your ironing board top from the nose to the rear. Then measure the ironing board top width, ensuring this is taken from the widest point. Using the sizing chart, determine which cover size will best suit your board.
If you’re still unsure about which size to pick, or your ironing board size falls outside this range, send us an email at info@boredhome.com.
We’ve built our cover range around the most common ironing board shapes and sizes. If your ironing board falls between these size ranges, get in touch with us before ordering. We’d much rather help you make the right call than have you deal with a return.
MELIA is designed to fit standard rectangular, tapered, and most free standing ironing board profiles in between. The drawstring tensioning system has been designed to accommodate varying widths and profiles without bunching or gaping. The most important factor when selecting a size is to measure your boards length and width. The shape will look after itself.
This is what sets us apart and you won't find it anywhere else. Three material layers, each chosen for a specific reason.
- Top - 100% Cotton Ripstop Breathable, heat-responsive, and resistant to tearing under sustained use.
- Padding - Open Cell Silicone Foam Holds its structure over time, where conventional polyester wadding compresses and degrades.
- Underlay - 100% Polyester Felt Smooths out diamond perforations and insulates the cover.
- Drawstring - 550 Paracord Braided nylon cord built for load-bearing applications. Tensioned by a locking toggle.
Longer than any cover you've owned before, if you treat it reasonably. The cotton ripstop is designed to resist tearing under normal use, the silicone foam won't compress and lose its resilience, and the paracord won't fray or snap.
The design brief was to make the last ironing board cover you'd need to buy. Great for you, bad for us.
Currently available in Canteen Green and Boring Beige. Additional colourways and sizing options may follow.

We've tried to keep things simple and familiar. However, there are some techniques that will help achieve a better fit out of the box.
We've put together a short video showing how to fit your cover on our product page which can be viewed here.
If you're having trouble fitting your MELIA cover, please don't hesitate to email us at info@boredhome.com so that we can help.
Most ironing board covers rely on an elastic hem, thin cord, or some combination of both. This works adequately until it doesn't, then fails gradually until you've stopped noticing how frustrating it's become.
The MELIA cover uses a 550 Paracord drawstring tensioned by a strong toggle. It doesn't migrate, it doesn't loosen mid-session, and it doesn't snap. Fit it once and it stays fitted.
