Replacement for Ironing Board Pad

Does anyone know what I can use to replace the pad that's under my ironing board cover? It's gotten thin on one end where I do the majority of my ironing. The cover is still in fine shape, so I'd hate to buy an entire cover and pad.

I'd use an old worn out mattress pad cut to fit. Look at the thrift stores.

I would buy a yard of Warm & Natural quilt batting and cut it to shape. A yard on sale would cost about five dollars but since it's 90" wide you could double or triple the thickness.

Thanks everyone. I'll think I'll give the towel and sheet a try - cover the towel with the sheet and then the cover.

I use old sheets under the cover, good luck.

And maybe add a sheet of foil on top of the towels or blanket to reflect the heat of the iron. I'm going to try that the next time I change my ironing board cover. I saw several tips regarding that here at TF.

A towel worked for me.

Use one or more layers of old towels to achieve the thickness you need.

Try using a baby's flannel blanket as padding under the ironing board cover.
