I made a "Big Board" with plywood (22" X 48"--should have made it 24" X 55"). It had guides under the board to keep it from moving. I covered it with a layer of 1. old wool blanket, 2. layer of flannel and topped it with a decorative fabric (that has a casing with elastic in it) The fabric matches the one that I made a window valance with, covers for my machines and a cover for my chair. I suppose you could put the reflective ironing board fabric on, but it is rather pricey. I made mine pretty cheaply.
