4 Factors to Consider When Buying Luxury Bath Towels
You come out of the shower looking for your towel but can’t find it. How do you feel? Disappointment is quite clear from your face! You start searching for your towel and try to remember where you’ve kept it. All this shows that your towel is more than just an ordinary item in your home. Wrapping yourself in a soft and absorbent luxury bath towel is one of the most comforting feelings that you experience everyday after taking a relaxing shower. But did you know that there are endless varieties of towels in the market? Practically, it is not possible to know everything about each kind of towel. For this reason, buying the best bath towel is often a daunting task since you don’t know which one will ultimately offer you the desired comfort everyday without any disappointment. But don’t worry! In this blog, we’ll tell you what to look for when buying a luxury bath towel.
Things to Consider When Buying the Best Luxury Bath Towel 1.
Fabric: Towels are produced from different materials. From linen to bamboo, you can find a wide variety of towel fabrics in any store. Surprisingly, the softest towels are made of cotton,
the most commonly used fiber that makes the towel super soft, highly absorbent and fluffy. When visiting a linen store, you’ll likely find towels that are made of two materials –
Turkish cotton: Grown exclusively in Turkey, Turkish cotton fibers are long and create luxury towels with dense loops. Towels made of 100% Turkish cotton yarn are extremely soft and plush, offering a high power of absorption and durability than many other fabrics. In other words, a Turkish cotton bath towel is just the kind of towel you would want to use everyday!
Egyptian cotton: Like the Turkish cotton counterpart, Egyptian cotton fibers are long and silky, producing towels that are strong and highly absorbent. Egyptian cotton towels offer a soft touch and feel to the skin, maximizing your after bath experience.
2. Towel construction: When checking the various online stores
or shops, you will come across dozens of luxury towels that look and feel so similar that it is hard to tell the difference. But where there is a will, there is a way! You will easily know the difference once you take a look at the number of loops on the towel. The number as well as the length of the loops decides how well-absorbent the bath towel is. The more the loop number, longer is the length of the loops. This means that if a luxury towel is composed of 1000 long loops, it has a better absorption power than any towel having less than 1000 loops. 3. Weight: Are you looking for a bath towel that you can wrap
around yourself yet feel like you’ve wrapped nothing? Well, then you must be careful about buying a luxury towel of the right weight. A towel’s weight is measured in grams per square meter (GSM). It is important to consider the weight of the towel since we know how much you’ll hate to drag yourself after having a heavy towel wrapped around yourself. Towels having a low GSM are less dense which means although they are lightweight, they don’t absorb much water. On the other hand, luxury bath towels having a high GSM are undoubtedly plush, offering superior absorbency. Not to forget, being thicker, managing such heavyweight luxury towels can
be a problem, especially after they get weight. The best way to tackle this weight problem is to purchase a luxury towel that is neither too heavy nor too light; that is, a bath towel that has a medium weight. Ideally, a Turkish cotton towel that weighs between 500-600 GSM is perfect to give you the comforting post-bathing experience without trouble you with too much of its weight! 4. Towel size: Perhaps you are searching for the perfect white
towels but you will be happier to know that there is still a better rendition of your regular-sized bath towel in the form of a bath sheet. Bath sheets are larger than bath towels and having a broader surface area, they never fail to offer better coverage and superior absorbency. If you often struggle to wrap a towel around yourself, buying a bath sheet can be the perfect solution! With a size of 100 x 150 cm, you’ll never find yourself struggling again and at the same time enjoying excellent absorbency and coverage. Conclusion: Buying the best luxury bath towels is indeed an overwhelming experience for many simply because they aren’t aware of the factors to consider before choosing one. But in this blog, we have discussed the four main parameters that help in choosing the best bath towels. So, what are you waiting for? Visit any leading luxury bath linen store and make the right choice!
