Checklist for Choosing the Best Towel

　　Here’s a quick recap with a simple checklist to help you find the bath towel that’s best for you:

　　Material: Choose 86/14 cotton-polyester blend or 100% cotton. Pima or Turkish cotton is the best material for bath towels because Egyptian cotton has a prolonged drying time.

　　Weight and density: This is measured in GSM. It ranges from 300 to 900. The ideal range is between 400 to 600 as it has a nice balance between soft and absorbent. They’re gentle to sensitive skin and fast-drying preventing mold and mildew buildup.

　　Absorbency and construction: Choose a slower absorption rate to use your towel longer. The fabric will have a lower retention rate, creating a fast-drying process. For the best bath towel, pick one that’s less dense and more absorbent. You can identify it by a zero- or low-twist.

　　Size: Find a bath towel that’s around 22 inches long and 44 inches wide. Anything smaller is a hand towel and anything bigger is a bath sheet.

　　Color: Choose either light or dark colors. Lighter towels will help you identify messes, while darker towels will hide any stains. Pick a color that aligns with your brand. Homeowners can pick colors that complement their bathroom interiors.
