1. Jacobson Products Chest And Sleeve

You'll always step out looking fresh after using the double-sided Jacobson Products Chest And Sleeve (appx. $46), which is especially good for the areas of shirts in its name. One side features a broad, standard shape, and the other has a long, slender surface.

Robust aluminum and wood build
Doubles as a pin board for tailoring
Handles necklines beautifully

2. Sunbeam IB01512

If the floral print on the cover of the Sunbeam IB01512 (around $24) doesn't make you smile, then the fact that your garments come off it looking flawless will. This compact model shouldn't bend if you apply a lot of pressure, and the pad won't get soft under high heat.

Favorite of quilters
Affordably priced
Works with legs extended or folded

3. Honey-Can-Do BRD-01435

The Honey-Can-Do BRD-01435 (appx. $20) includes a stable iron rest, so you don't have to worry about scorching if you need to take a break. It opens and collapses easily, eliminating any wrestling with it when it's time to put it away. All in all, it's a useful, simple option.

Ideal for a sewing and crafts space
Slides under a low bed when folded
Very sturdy on flat surfaces

4. Leyoujia Mini

No busy home with minimal space to spare should be without the Leyoujia Mini (about $20). It has legs made of high-tensile strength PVC that you'll feel confident pressing down on, and an anti-slip, soft silicone sleeve to prevent the cover from sliding around.

Great for ironing place mats
Fun puppy dog print
Shouldn't scratch counters

5. Household 131210

Constructed of steel, the Household 131210 (around $23) is certainly sturdy enough to last for years. It's not prone to wobbling, either, so you can use a heavier iron. Plus, it's a cinch to set up and take down, giving you one less reason to dread doing your chores.

Over-the-door hook for easy storage
Comfortable to use on the floor too
Retractable iron rest

6. Whitmor 6152

If you want something that will last, then get the Whitmor 6152 (around $11). Made from steel mesh, there is little chance it will warp or crack in the near future. It is equipped with a retractable hook, so you can just hang it up when you're done.

Ideal for touch-ups
Comes in a striped or solid pattern
Mat is durable and scorch-resistant

7. Storage Maniac STM100

The Storage Maniac STM100 (around $30) has a sturdy frame with non-skid leg caps to prevent it from slipping and sliding as you work. The porous pad is great for absorbing steam, and the cover comes off easily for washing. It's small enough to be a reasonable pick for travelers.

Cotton cushioning under pad
Rust-resistant construction
Awkward shape for slender items

8. Leifheit AirBoard

If you like more surface area to work on, then the Leifheit AirBoard (appx. $39) will give you lots of operating space. It uses Thermo-Reflect technology, which captures heat instead of letting it escape, giving you faster results. However, it isn't the most attractive choice.

Lightweight at just over one pound
End is shaped to fit shoulders
Soft nonslip feet
