Find the perfect towels for your home. From everyday classics to a touch of luxury, our towel guide makes it easy to choose the right style, size, and colour.
Yes, the main difference is the size! A standard bath towel is perfect for everyday drying and wrapping up wet hair. A bath sheet is significantly larger, offering a more generous, cosy, spa-like wrap.
If you want towels that dry quickly on the towel rack, look for lightweight cotton, low-twist yarns, or textured designs like ribbed or waffle weaves. These designs allow more airflow, meaning they dry much faster between uses.
As a general rule of thumb for a busy household, we recommend having two to three bath towels or sheets per person. This allows each person to have one in use, one in the wash, and one clean in the linen cupboard so you're never without a fresh towel.
Absolutely Just like new clothing, a quick wash before first use ensures your towels are perfectly fresh and clean for your skin. It also opens up the cotton fibres, making them more absorbent right from the very first use.
We recommend replacing your towels every 2-3 years. Over time, fibres can break down, which can make them less absorbent. If your towels start to feel less fluffy or have a lingering damp smell, it might be time for an update.
GSM stands for 'Grams per Square Metre' and measures the density of a towel. A higher GSM (like in our Grandeur range) means a heavier, plusher, and more absorbent towel, while a lower GSM is lighter and quicker to dry.
To keep towels soft, try using a little less laundry detergent, as buildup can make them stiff. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can also help fluff up the fibres. Avoid using fabric softener, as it can reduce the absorbency of the towel over time.
