Best towels, compared

FAQs

What GSM should a bath towel be?
400–500gsm is the everyday sweet spot — absorbent but quick-drying. 600gsm+ feels hotel-plush but takes noticeably longer to dry; under 400gsm suits gym bags and travel.
Egyptian, Turkish or standard cotton?
Long-staple cottons (Egyptian, Turkish, Supima) make softer, more durable loops that improve with washing. 'Cotton-rich' blends are cheaper and dry faster but wear sooner.
