I don't think MDF will stand up very well. It will asorb the steam and possibly weaken and I don't think it is strong enough to begin with for ironing.
But if I cover the mdf with foil would that be okay? This is Half inch thick so I think it would be strong enpogh, I was just worringing about the moisture.
My ironing surface is MDF with just a layer of cotton batting and a cotton canvas cover. I've been using it for over 5 years. It's strong enough and has held up to tons of steam. It's not warped or damaged in any way.
Guess since you have experience with the MDF it is good to know that it could possibly be used!! :)
