Your All­in­One Guide to Buying a Luxury Towel 1. Towel materials Some of the most sought after materials for a luxury towel are: 1. Turkish cotton: One of the most widely used towels today, there are plenty of good reasons why you can’t help but love Turkish

cotton towels. These towels are extremely soft and fluffy and this naturally renders them with a luxurious appeal. Besides, Turkish cotton towels are reputed for their quick­drying, endurance and great absorbing properties. Not only in white but these towels come in a wide variety of beautiful colors and patterns. The main quality that leaves a user satisfied is its softness. So, no wonder why people who buy Turkish cotton towels, literally believe in buying happiness!

2. Egyptian cotton: With its extra large fibers and high­absorption power, Egyptian cotton towels also make a good choice. Like its counterpart (Turkish cotton), these towels also form one of the top choices as a luxury towel primarily due to their softness, durability and trouble­free maintenance property.

3. Organic cotton: Are you hypoallergenic? Switching to organic cotton wouldn’t be a bad idea at all. These materials are obtained from crops that avoid the use of fertilizers and pesticides.

Consequently, towels composed of such fibers have the same features as cotton towels and in addition, they are skin­friendly too.

2. Spins and weaves Choosing the material is not enough. The quality and durability of the towel also depend on how it is weaved. The method of spinning can create a world of difference for the final product. Some of the common weaves are:  Combed: As the name suggests, the fibers are combed to take off the shorter threads. Combed towels come with the strongest, longest and best quality fibers.  Twist: Towels are composed of fibers that are twisted together rendering various outcomes. A smoother and softer towel comprises low­twist yarn while for a more durable and stronger towel, a high­twist yarn goes into the making.

 Ringspun: This method is considered to be the best of both the worlds – long and short fibers. Both of these fibers are twisted together to create a tougher and smoother yarn that finally bestows a more plush feel to the towel.

3. Towel size Do you need a bath towel? Should a hand towel suffice your needs? Or is there a requirement for bath mats? Towels come in various sizes and it is important to know which size and type are the best suitable for your purpose.

1. Bath towel: If you ask which towel size has the highest demand, bath towels would be the clear winner! These towels serve a whole range of purposes – whether you require it after your shower, for your spa session, by the poolside or in your hotel business. Bath towels wipe your body clean and dry as they generally come in a size of 70 X 130 cm. Such towels are convenient for users because on a practical note, would you like to use a teensy­weensy piece of a towel that doesn’t even wipe your whole body properly? Perhaps not!

2. Hand towel: You would be looking for the perfect hand towel, obviously not for meeting your after­shower purpose but to dry your hands or face. These towels are kept by the sink/basin so that everytime you wash your hands, you don’t have to run to your bath towel to do the job. The most common size of a hand towel is 50 X 90 cm. Besides in your home, hand towels are mostly used in spa centers, hair salon and of course, hotel bathrooms.

3. Bath sheet: Many people similarize a bath towel and a bath sheet.

But honestly, a bath sheet is larger than a regular bath towel. For this reason, expecting better coverage and higher absorption from a bath sheet wouldn’t be wrong as such. If you think a single bath towel is not enough for your purpose, go for a bath sheet instead and enjoy the power of a larger surface area. A regular bath sheet is of 100 X 150 cm specification and is enough to give you higher absorbency and area of usage.

Conclusion: Buying the perfect luxury towel that is soft, durable and highly absorbent, is sheer happiness. But with so many options to choose

from, selecting the best one is no less than a challenge. You are simply spoilt for choices! So, the next time you buy a towel that goes beyond the average, don’t forget to consider the three factors mentioned above.
