Choosing Your Perfect Bath Towel Materials

Choosing the right fabric composition for your bathroom towels depends on your lifestyle and needs. Consider the following when deciding on your new towel fabric.

Cotton Towels:

Prized for their durability, softness, versatility, and superior absorbency, cotton bath towels like the MyHouse Arlo Bath Towel Collection are a bathroom staple perfect for every home.Cotton towels are available in a range of styles and sizes, including single towels and towel sets. Here’s our breakdown of what to consider when shopping for cotton towels.

Egyptian Cotton: Known for extra-long, strong fibres, resulting in superior softness, absorbency, and durability. Egyptian cotton bath towels like the MyHouse Celene Egyptian Loop Bath Towel Collection are perfect for guest bathrooms or those looking for a little hint of luxury in their daily routines.
Turkish Cotton: Made with long-staple fibres, Turkish cotton towels like the Neale Whitaker Turkish Bath Towel Collection are known for being soft, sleek, and quick-drying, making them excellent for humid climates.
Zero Twist/Low Twist Cotton: Made with long, untwisted cotton fibres they offer exceptional softness, fluffiness, and absorbency. They’re another great option for luxurious bathroom towels.
Combed Cotton: Made with fibres that are combed to remove short strands and impurities, this composition results in a stronger, smoother, and softer towels.

Bamboo Blend Towels:

Bamboo towels like the MyHouse Riley Bamboo Cotton Bath Towel Collection are a great alternative to traditional cotton towels. They’re exceptionally soft and durable making them a fantastic choice for long-lasting everyday towels. They’re also naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and sustainable, and fast-drying.

GSM (Grams per Square Meter):

GSM refers to the density or weight of the towel fabric. When shopping, understanding what a towel’s GSM indicates makes it easier to find your perfect bath towels.

A higher GSM number typically means the towel is made from a thicker, more plush, and absorbent fabric and vice versa. But don’t be fooled - a lower GSM doesn’t always reflect an inferior towel as they’re often lighter and quicker to dry.

We recommend the following GSM ranges for your needs:

300-400 GSM: Lighter, quicker drying, good for gym or beach.
400-600 GSM: Medium weight, good everyday bath towel.
600+ GSM: Heavier, more luxurious, highly absorbent (often considered premium or hotel quality).

Sizes and Sets: Curating Your Bathroom Towel Collection

When shopping for new towels, choosing a bath towel set or a single towel depends on your needs. Are you looking for a complete refresh, or just a single addition to your bathroom towel collection? Take a look at our bath towel size guide to find your perfect fit.

Towel Sizes at MyHouse:

Face Towels: Commonly known as Face Washers, these are the smallest bathroom towels and are ideal for face cleansing.
Hand Towels: Like their name suggests, these are the perfect size for drying hands and can often be a decorative touch.
Bath Towels: The standard size bathroom towel for everyday use.
Bath Sheets: Larger than bath towels, they offer more coverage and luxury.
Bath Mats: Often matching your chosen towels, bath mats and contour mats are an important addition for bathroom hygiene and safety. MyHouse offers a variety of coloured bath mats to match your towels and bathroom decor including white, blue, green, black, and more.

Consider a wooden bath mat for another hygienic, non-slip alternative.
Adding a bath runner to your space is an effective way to keep larger spaces safe from splashes and slips.

Towel Sets:

Buying a set of bathroom set towels is a convenient way to purchase coordinating towels for a cohesive look. Towel sets often include a mix of bath towels and bath sheets, hand towels, face towels, and a bath mat. Consider buying a bath towel set if you're looking to style a cohesive bathroom, or include a contrasting pattern or colour in a single towel for a fun focal point.

Avoid excessive fabric softener which can reduce absorbency over time.

Replace your towels if you start to notice a loss of absorbency, fraying edges, or persistent odour even after washing, roughness.
We recommend always draping your towels over a towel rack to allow them to properly dry between uses - never leave your towel in bath or on flat surfaces.

FAQs:

Q1: What is the best quality of bath towels to buy?

The best quality bath towels are typically made from long-staple cotton (like Egyptian or Turkish cotton) or luxurious bamboo blends, often with a GSM (Grams per Square Meter) of 600 or higher. These characteristics indicate superior softness, absorbency, and durability. MyHouse offers a premium selection of such towels.

Q2: What towels are used in 5-star hotels and why are they so nice?

Five-star hotels typically use durable, absorbent bath towels made from 100% long-staple cotton, often with a GSM between 500-700. They are prized for their softness, absorbency, and ability to withstand frequent high-temperature washing, maintaining their plushness and crispness.

Q3: How can you tell if a bath towel is high-quality?

Look for bath towels made from premium materials like Egyptian or Turkish cotton, or dense bamboo blends. Check the GSM (Grams per Square Meter) – higher numbers (600+ GSM) usually indicate a thicker, more luxurious towel. Quality stitching, particularly on the hems, is another indicator of durability.

Q4: Are expensive towels worth it?

Generally, towels at a higher price point are often worth the investment. They are typically made with superior materials and craftsmanship, resulting in greater absorbency, lasting softness, and increased durability. This means they perform better and last longer, providing better value over time. However, at MyHouse we have a range of high quality towels at various price points to suit any budget without compromising on performance or style.

Q5: How often should I replace my towels?

The lifespan of towels varies, but generally, you should consider replacing them every 1 to 3 years. Signs it's time for new towels include reduced absorbency, fraying edges, a rough texture, or a persistent odour even after washing.

Q6: How do you fold a bath towel?

Folding bath towels can be challenging, but it’s important for organisation and space-saving. Start by folding the towel in half lengthwise and then fold it into thirds. You can also hang the towel on a hook or towel bar to save space and add some style. We find that folding towels uniformly makes our bathroom look neat and inviting for ourselves and guests.
Q7: How often should I wash and change my bath towels?

Ideally you should change your bath towel at least once a week. Having more than one towel also means you can swap them out when your other one is in the wash. Regularly washing and changing your bath towels helps prevent bacteria from growing on your towel, which can cause unpleasant odors and skin irritations. And, don't forget to wash your towel before using it for the first time.
