I agree. I like the cotton ironing board cover. I have 2 pads under it, but they are pretty old and packed down well so they make a solid foundation to press on.
When I want to press larger pieces of fabric, I clear off one of tables and put an old wool blanket I got from an estate sale over it and press there.
