Does anyone use a steam press for sheets?

I hate ironing sheets, but love the way they look and feel. I've tried an ironing service but felt it was quite expensive and I had to be way more organised than I am, re pick up / drop off. I am sure I could get into a routine, but it got me thinking about whether I could make it easier at home.. Also, what do B&B owners do?

At the moment I use a steam generator iron and large board. It's brilliant, but super king sheets are a juggle and they end up on the floor as I fold / move them. I use clothes pegs to keep ends together.

Anyone used a heavy duty steam press? Would you recommend? Any recommendations or tips? I have a space I could put it, but wondering if it's worth the investment. I have 2 /3 sets of sheets a week.

Thank you

Have you got a staircase? DM does hers by quarter folding the width while damp, hanging the folded sheet over the banister so gravity helps. Then take the folded dry sheet which is now long but quite narrow and iron it folding as you go. Iron on both sides and again as it gets smaller. You’re effectively ironing in the creases.
