Discussed on this thread, along with alternatives that cost much less. No mention of lifespan, but I really can't see them wearing out. I don't use one. I have an old wool army blanket under my ironing board cover that works quite well.
Yes me too. I finally found a use for one of those 3 old army blankets I’ve been storing all these years.

I don't have a wool pressing mat. I have been told they are amazing. I had ordered one but it is on backorder. Someone on here made a large ironing station and topped it with a large wool pad. I was planning on ordering it, https://www.quiltingboard.com/missio...e-t298147.html

I use a felted wool fat quarter from the woolies section of my quilt store. It works great not to distort bias seams and edges. The seam just nests down in the wool and presses beautifully.

Wool has a smell, reminds me of the fairgrounds. LOL Doesn't bother me. Brings back memories of going to the fair with my kids. It's not overpowering and I only smell a few whiffs of it when I am pressing. I use linen setting on a 1800 watt iron but most recommends wool setting.
