You won't have to lower your ironing board to mattress level since your mattress would alleviate the weight/. You don't need a backache. I agree with the vinegar tip. I use it all the time.

\I have two plywood boards 4'by60" which I lay over my two ironing boards at my correct height. I can press anything I need to on this wide surface. I store one board under my sofa cushions and the other stands behind a door in my sewing room. I have sat and repaired antique quilts, put tulle over worn blocks and generally used it for a variety of other problems.

I would also suggest that if you have to fold it again before quilting it is something that I have done before. I place the batting on it and then fold, that way the fold will not be as sharp..

I would press it like explained already but I use pool noodles to wrap quilts around while waiting to be quilted so as not to get fold lines again. Works great!
