We've included table top ironing boards for those tight on space as well as larger boards if you're a hardcore ironer who can't bear a crease. Every cheap ironing board in our list can be found for £50 and under, so take a browse below, and keep your clothes looking smart without splashing out.

Best cheap ironing boards for 2024
Kleeneze Memphis Raspberry Print Ironing Board
This cheap ironing board from Kleeneze is a decent size, so it's one to consider if you get through lots of school uniforms and work attire in a week. We like the fun pink and grey pattern, and this ironing board is practical, too, featuring anti-slip foot caps for a steady base. There are also various height settings to choose from so you can find the most comfortable setting for a night of ironing in front of the telly.
Ideal for larger items such as bed sheets, shirts and dresses, and there's a foam padded top for extra comfort.

Minky HotSpot Ironing Board
The big pull factor with this ironing board is the silicone 'Hot Spot' rest. The heat resistant pad can be placed anywhere on the board, allowing you to iron from all angles - great for left handed ironers!
The contemporary black legs are a nice change from the more traditional silver models, and dark ironing board covers tend to keep their new look for longer.
Our team reviewed the Minky HotSpot and weren't disappointed. To read the full review and discover more ironing board options, read the best ironing boards - tried and tested by us.
Brabantia Morning Breeze Steam Ironing Table
We love the unique design of this ironing board cover - it's one you're quite happy to have propped against the wall on display. You'll find this particular Brabantia model at varying retailers and you'll find the price will vary too so it's worth scouting for a bargain. For a real steal, Dunelm is currently selling this model for £50.
With a trusty metal iron rest that's adjustable to suit both left and right hand users, and a protective child lock to prevent the table from collapsing, this cheap ironing board is packed with desirable features.
The board is over a metre in length, so you're in luck if you're a jumpsuit or flares fan.
Brabantia Tabletop Ironing Board
Another Brabantia ironing board, but this nifty design is well-suited to those quick crease fixes. The compact design is neat enough to be placed on a table, so it's less hassle than bringing out a large ironing board for one quick job. There's even a hook which lets you hang the board in a cupboard or rail making this cheap ironing board a space-saver too.
So not one for an hour's ironing session perhaps, but a great solution if you're in the middle of getting ready and spot a crease or two!
