I have one of those boards but not sure of the name since 1962. I had always stacked the covers, adding a fresh one as needed. But when I began heirloom sewing and then later quilting, I removed all of the old "packings" and started fresh. It was way too soft and cushy. I also have an old wooden ironing board that I picked up at a flea market. It came with an old quilt covering. When I use it I cover it with white muslin so that the old quilt will not be damaged (scorched, starched, etc).
