You might consider the Euro that is sold at a discount at quilt shows. It sits flat like the Oliso but does not raise up. It comes with a silicone pad to rest it on, but the person who demonstrates it at the shows leaves it on her ironing-board surface all day without damage.
They say it will not damage any fabric. I've sewn filmsy silk scarves with no problem. When she ironed a balloon without popping it, I was sold. I wouldn't use anything else now.
