The Top 5 Very Best Bath Towels

Have you ever purchased bath towels that were soft and fluffy…until after a few washes? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of choices of towels on the market? I have been buying towels for my clients for years and I’ve become somewhat of a towel geek in the process.

Here are my top recommendations for the most luxurious, longest lasting, softest towels. And I’m going to do a countdown, just to be dramatic.

#5 Hydrocotton Organic Towels by Pottery Barn

Organic cotton towels by Pottery Barn

I was surprised to come across this line of towels several years ago at good ‘ol PB. They are made with organic, long staple (that’s good) Turkish (also good) cotton. Supersoft and fast-drying, they weigh in at a fluffy 550 GSM (grams per square meter). They currently come in 13 fashion colors. And they’re available in 4 sizes, plus a bath mat. This is also my budget pick on the list.

#4 Spa Towel Collection by Riley Home

These can be described as “modern towels” because they are thinner, have rounded corners and a binding along their edges. They’re made of a silky soft Egyptian cotton and woven with more texture than a traditional terry towel. They also have a handy locker loop for hanging on hooks. They come in 10 colors and 4 sizes. Sidenote: men tend to like these towels.

#3 Super-Plush Bath Towels by Brooklinen

Soft and luxurious, these extra thick and absorbent towels come in at a whopping 820 GSM. Being this weight, they aren’t super quick to dry. They’re 100% Turkish cotton and come in 5 standard colors plus 5 limited edition colors. And they have a matching bath robe, which is enough to convince me. At this time, there is only one size and they sell in sets of 2.

#2 Resort Cotton Bath Towel by Frontgate

This towel appears at number 1 on a few top towel lists that I’ve seen. And for good reason. It’s extremely soft, plush and substantial. Each size towel is oversized. And at 700 GSM, it’s super absorbent. It comes in 23 colors and 4 towel sizes, plus 3 bath mat/rug sizes. Even with that amount of colors, I don’t find them to be as fashion-forward as even the Pottery Barn towel though. But thousands of happy customers beg to differ, just read some of their reviews.

#1 Twill Towel by Abyss

Where do I start? This is the proverbial Cadillac of bath towels. It’s ridiculously soft, absorbent yet lighter than most terry towels. Made from 100% Giza Extra Long Staple Egyptian cotton, it is uniquely woven to have a stripe effect so it appears highly textured. As a designer, I truly appreciate that these come in 30 beautiful colors and an impressive 10 sizes, one of which is a bath mitt. And it comes in 2 sizes of bath mats. Get these for each bathroom!
