Abstract An ironing board pad is provided having a cover portion, shaped and sized to cover the upper surface of an ironing board, and a skirt portion to attach the pad to an ironing board. The cover portion comprises an underlying resilient supporting layer, a portion of which is covered by layers to provide a good ironing surface and a portion of which is covered by layers to permit a hot iron to stand thereon for extended periods without a trivet. The layers of the ironing surface comprise an outermost stretchable knit material and an intermediate resilient flexible foam, the knit material being made of a blend of yarns, plated so that a heat-resistant yarn is predominant on its outer surface and a yarn of lesser heat resistance is predominant on its inner surface.
