Joann's, and other places probably, carry something called a Quilter's cut & press which is a cutting board on one side and pressing board on the flip side. I keep one next to my sewing machine along with my iron. I've attached a picture of it. Comes in two sizes.
I have that and love it. It sits on my dining room table and I sew in the corner of the dining room. My chair has wheels so I just scoot over to press.
