Quality Bath Towel Set - A Buyers Guide

Everybody wants that moment when you get to wrap yourself in a comfortable, relaxing, fluffy Towel right after that refreshing Shower. But, as you would know, not all towels are the same super soft and luxurious bath towels as others.

With the perfect Towel for your skin and hair, your skin could feel soft, and your hair could have a glamorous look. But with the wrong Towel, your skin could feel itchy and dry out. Ensuring you have the right Towel in the correct size is essential.

But how do you buy the ultimate towels for your home? Here is a guide informing you about all the different types and sizes of bath towel sets.

 Understand what a good towel is

Thicker, heavier Towels around 500GSM - 700GSM usually tend to be much more absorbent and luxurious compared to slightly thinner towels, which are anything below 500GSM.

However, the thicker the Bath Towels, the more time it takes to dry up, and that’s where the slightly thinner towels come into play as they have a comparatively quick dry technology.

So when it comes down to it, if you’re going for the heavy-weight, luxuriously plush towels, be warned that they will take a long time to dry out completely before you can use them again.

The Ideal range we’d recommend is anything between 400GSM and 550GSM, as this is the range where you can get quality, quick, dry, and luxury all in one.

Towels made of Pima or Egyptian cotton towels are super absorbent and can help in a severe mess.

 Material options for Bath Towel Sets

Organic Cotton towels are best for use on your hands and body. They are highly absorbent, lush, and softer than most cotton blend fabrics. Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, says that soft fabric fibers like Cotton are great for reducing harmful friction on the skin.

Cotton / Polyester Blend towels are generally made from 86% cotton and 14% polyester ring spun yards. It is long-lasting but yet soft to the touch. Cotton contributes to the softness and absorbency of the Towel. At the same time, Polyester is usually a thin, lightweight fabric that is surprisingly strong and durable. The natural breathability and beauty of Cotton and the durability and longevity of Polyester combined make a luxurious and durable towel.

Linen towels are most suitable for dishes and glassware as they are lint-free, streak-free, and dry the dishes quickly and efficiently. It can be described as super absorbent and strong. In addition to being natural towels, they can absorb up to 20% of their own weight in water, are naturally resistant to bacteria, and won’t leave lint on glassware.

Bamboo Bath Towels are generally made with 100% Bamboo. In Other variations, They are usually a blend of Bamboo and Cotton. It is also a natural, anti-bacterial, and super absorbent material with lush, supple, and color-fast qualities. They are the ideal option for environmentally conscious people who care for organic and natural materials.

Woven from Cotton untouched by unnatural fertilizers and pesticides are our Organic Cotton Bath Towels, which are certified Organic Cotton, grown and harvested to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint.

Microfibre is a mixture of Polyester and Polyamide used to make fabric. When multiple micro-fibers are woven into an ultra-fine fabric, they create a net-like surface that can absorb and trap moisture, dirt, and other particles. Microfibre has a static electric charge that attracts and traps dirt particles.

Terry Cloth is a cloth with uncut loops, or piles, deliberately standing away from its ground base. The Terry Cloth is a unique find in Bath Towels and Bathrobes. Terry is traditionally made from Cotton but can also be made using other materials such as Silk, Linen, and other natural and artificial fibers. Terry Cloth is almost always 100% cotton, but sometimes Polyester is added for more durability.

Zero-twist towels are one of the most popular types of towels you can buy. The yarns are twisted to provide fabrics with extra strength, and heavily twisted yarns are solid.
