I bought the Brabantia Titon ironing board 20 months ago. My previous Brabantia ironing board had lasted years so I thought I was buying a decent product. 
The Titon doesn't have a felt pad and the foam started moving around underneath the cloth cover a few months ago. I tried straightening it but it has worked loose and is very lumpy and the foam is now about 2" away from the end of the cover. I wouldn't have expected to need to replace the foam before the ironing board cover has worn out before 2 years is out!
