How To Choose Bath Towels

Step 1:

When choosing which bath towels are right for you and your family, consider the following attributes:

Texture

Absorbency

Weight

While weighing your options, take into consideration that a heavier towel may be preferable, but will take longer to dry. All towels that weigh over 550 grams are considered high quality in the industry.

Step 3:

Choose Towel Size

The following is a list of standard measurements for our towels. Sizes may vary depending on which towel collection you select. See individual product pages for precise measurements.

Washcloth - 12" x 12"

Fingertip Towel - 12" x 20"

Hand Towel - 20" x 30"

Bath Towel - 30"x 56"

Bath Sheet - 39" x 70"

Bath Mat - 28" x 35"

Bath Rug - 24" x 39"

Consider the following when choosing towel sizes:

Bath Sheets are extra roomy and easily wrap around most people

Bath Towels take up less room and fold neatly on most towel racks

Bath Mats are typically used in front of the tub and are thinner, to dry more quickly

Bath Rugs are typically thicker and have a rubber coating on the bottom to prevent slips

When purchasing a set of towels, we recommend that you select a Bath Mat, two Bath Towels, two
      Hand Towels and two Washcloths.
