Quality Bath Towel Set - A Buyers Guide

Everybody wants that moment when you get to wrap yourself in a comfortable, relaxing and 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 to it. But with the wrong towel, your skin could feel all itchy and dried out. So it is really important to make sure you have the right towel with the right size.

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


Understand what a good towel is:

Thicker, heavier Towels around 500GSM - 700GSM are usually and 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 be able to use them again.

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

Towels made up of Pima or Egyptian cotton towels are Super Absorbent and can help in a serious mess.

Cotton contributes to the softness and absorbency of the towel while Polyester is normally a thin and lightweight fabric, that is surprisingly strong and durable.

When multiple micro-fibres are woven together 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 is traditionally made from Cotton, but can also be made using other different materials such as Silk, Linen and other natural and artificial fibres.
