Detailed Product Description

Buying Bath Towels

Size

Bath towels come in two general sizes: standard bath towels that measure about 52 inches in length and larger bath sheets that measure from 60 to 70 inches in length. Bath sheets typically cost more than standard towels. Some people prefer the overall coverage afforded by bath sheets, which give a sense of luxury and warmth due to their size. Other people prefer the standard sized bath towels because they are easier to store and they dry faster than bath sheets.

Style

When you select bath towels, consider the color and style of the bathroom where they will be used. It's best to choose towels that will match or coordinate with their surroundings. If your bathroom floor, wall paint and tiles consist of muted colors, you may want to buy bath towels that contain those colors. You may also want to buy towels that have busy patterns on them if your bathroom decorations consist mostly of solids. A bath towel that has complementary colors but a counterintuitive design to the bathroom's style will actually draw more attention to the bathroom walls and floor.

How to Pick Bath Towels

There are two main considerations to picking the correct bath towel: the purpose of the towel and the degree of absorbency desired. Absorbency is directly related to the type of fabric from which the towel is made, while purpose is dictated by your lifestyle and preferences. For instance, if you are looking for the best towel to dry your hair after shampooing it, you want a lighter weight towel than if you need to dry off after a luxurious bath or shower.

Natural Fibers

Bath towels are generally made from one of three types of cotton: Egyptian, Supima and standard. Egyptian cotton produces the longest threads and is the softest and most absorbent. It is the most expensive option, but it has the most luxurious feel.

Supima cotton is grown in the United States. While it produces shorter threads than Egyptian cotton, it is a bit more durable and does not cost quite as much. Standard cotton is of a lesser quality than the other two types, but it is absorbent and lasts a long while. It is also the least expensive option. Bamboo, another natural fiber, is the perfect choice if you are looking for towel with a high mildew-resistance.

Bath towels and bath sheets made from Egyptian and Brazilian cotton or Supima have the softest feel and the highest absorbency. These are the towels to choose when stocking the bathrooms for everyday use.
