A resilient pad for resiliently supporting a felt cover on a rotatable drum of a flat sheet ironing machine, comprises a plurality of helically wound coil springs having an inner end adjacent to the drum and an outer end adjacent to the felt cover, a backing strip windable about the drum and a plurality of plate-like elements connected respectively to outer ends of the coil springs. The inner end of each coil spring is supported by the backing strip with the coil springs spaced apart along the longitudinal extent of the backing strip. Each coil spring has two helically wound portions joined at the outer end of the spring by a transverse portion which is connected to a respective plate-like element, by crimping lugs on the element to the transverse portion or by welding, and each plate-like element has one or more claws on its outer surface for making catching contact with the felt cover to ensure that, in use, the felt cover rotates with the drum.
