This is what I did as well, when I put mine back together earlier this year. -- Used the ironing board silver fabric from Joann's. -- I thought it would help with distributing the heat on both sides of the fabric I was ironing since it is reflective. I like that it is 59 x 22. I put 4 layers of quilt batting for padding under the fabric as well, which helps protect the board as well.
It is actually the Sullivans Board Overlay. I used to have it on top of an actual regular ironing board when I had a smaller room. Then with the move, I was able to move it on top of the 6 foot banquet table for my ironing station in my larger quilting room. DH took off the hardware so it would lay flat. I like how heavy it is.
I am so glad I got it when I did, several years ago. I can't believe how much it went up in price.
