Bath Sheets & Luxury Bath Towels

What Is a Bath Sheet?

A bath sheet is a large bath towel, typically measuring 90 × 165cm or larger, designed to wrap fully around the body for a more luxurious drying experience. Compared with a standard bath towel, which measures around 68 × 137cm, bath sheets offer greater coverage and a more indulgent, hotel-style feel. Luxury bath sheets are ideal for taller adults, anyone who prefers a full-body wrap, and bathrooms where the towel is part of the styling. MyHouse, Bambury and Alex Liddy all offer cotton bath sheets in soft neutrals, classic white and statement colours to suit every bathroom.

Choose Bath Sheets by Cotton Quality and GSM

The quality of a bath sheet comes down to both the cotton and the GSM. Combed cotton bath sheets are made from the longest, finest fibres, creating a soft, plush and durable finish. Zero-twist cotton is even softer and dries more quickly because the fibres are not tightly twisted. Bamboo-blend bath sheets from Algodon add exceptional softness and natural antibacterial benefits. GSM stands for grams per square metre and measures the towel’s density. Bath sheets between 400 and 550 GSM are lightweight and quick-drying, while 550 to 700 GSM offers the most popular balance of softness and absorbency. For a true hotel-style finish, choose a 700+ GSM bath sheet with a deep pile and maximum absorbency.

Bath Sheet Sets or Individual Towels?

Most MyHouse bath sheets are available as part of a matching towel set, making it easy to coordinate the entire bathroom in one purchase. A typical set includes a bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel and face washer, all in the same colour and fabrication. This is ideal if you are updating the whole room or furnishing a new home. Individual bath sheets are also available if you only need an extra large bath towel, a replacement piece or a thoughtful gift. Complete the look with coordinating bath mats and browse the wider bathroom collection.

FAQs

What is a bath sheet?

A bath sheet is a large bath towel designed to wrap fully around the body after a shower or bath. Most bath sheets measure around 90 × 165cm or larger, making them significantly bigger than a standard bath towel. Bath sheets are popular because they provide more coverage, more absorbency and a more luxurious, hotel-style feel.

What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?

The main difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet is size. A standard bath towel is approximately 68 × 137cm, while a bath sheet is around 90 × 165cm or larger. Bath sheets offer more coverage and are ideal for adults who like to wrap the towel completely around themselves. Many households use bath sheets in the master bathroom and standard bath towels for children and guests.

What size is a bath sheet?

A standard Australian bath sheet measures approximately 90 × 165cm, although some extra large bath towels can be even bigger. By comparison, a standard bath towel measures around 68 × 137cm. If you are buying a towel set, you may also receive a hand towel measuring around 40 × 70cm and a face washer around 33 × 33cm.

What is the best material for bath sheets?

Cotton is the best material for bath sheets because it is soft, absorbent and durable. Combed cotton creates a dense, long-lasting finish, while zero-twist cotton feels even softer and dries more quickly. Bamboo blends are also popular because they are naturally antibacterial and very soft. Most MyHouse luxury bath sheets are made from high-quality cotton or cotton-rich blends.

What does GSM mean on a bath sheet?

GSM stands for grams per square metre and refers to the weight and density of the towel fabric. A lower GSM, between 400 and 550, creates a lighter and quicker-drying towel. A medium GSM, between 550 and 700, gives a plush feel that is ideal for everyday use. A high GSM above 700 creates a thick, luxury bath sheet with maximum softness and absorbency.

How do you wash bath sheets?

To keep bath sheets soft and absorbent, wash them in warm water on a normal cycle and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce absorbency over time. Tumble dry on low or line dry in the shade. Washing new bath sheets before first use helps improve their softness and absorbency. With proper care, quality cotton bath sheets usually last for several years.
