Brooklinen Super Plush Turkish Cotton towels
Really good towels. Wait for the sale.
Gilden Tree Classic Waffle Bath Towel
I like waffle towels because they take up less space in my cabinet, but I cannot stand the flimsy, stretchy texture popularized by brands like Onsen. I came across Gilden Tree via a Reddit rabbit hole and their towels are perfect: no stretching or warping even after years of use, sturdy, absorbent, space-efficient.

100% cotton, so squishy, perfect size. And sometimes on sale for like $10

LUDDVIAL bath towel, white, 22x47"
these hold up shockingly well. I am someone who needs my towels hotel white and they tolerate me bleaching the hell out of them. they dry fast in between uses and take up hardly any room in the wash.

land's end supima cotton bath sheet
you should be using a bath sheet (bigger than a towel) and these are fantastic. I've had them for a few years and they still feel nearly new
The B E S T towels. I had to get mine monogrammed so my family would stop stealing them.
Boll & Branch Plush Bath Towel Set
These towels are both plush and water absorbing. I also love that the hand towel and bath towels have hanging loops.
Autumn Sonata "Hanna" Bath Sheet
After an exhaustive search (you can read up on what I learned here), this towel was the winner.

coziest bath towels — you won’t wanna get dressed
Fog’s linen bath towels take some getting used to if you’re used to terry, but I’ll never go back. They are highly absorbent, dry quickly, and leave me feelin extra special clean. I love em!!

My husband had these before we got married and it converted me real quick. It will ruin you for most other towels though lol. But they are the best, and big enough for any tall people in your life.

They are so soft, killer colors and hold up after washing/ drying. Gorgeous!
I got my first Turkish towel 10 years ago in Lisbon, then another on the beach in Camogli, Italy. Such a nice souvenir that you can use in your daily life. I’ve ordered so many of these in different patterns & sizes. You can get them personalized with monograms, names or anything! I’ve given them for gifts, I have them for bath towels, tea towels and throws.
Premium organic cotton. We spin our long-staple Turkish cotton into a lightweight yarn, then weave it into narrow channels for enhanced drying power. Where conventional towels made with chemical softeners can be waxy to the touch and actually repel water, ours are naturally soft, plush, and absorbent without feeling thick or heavy. GOTS Certified. I prefer undyed, less intervention & I love the subtle warm color tone- AK
every other towel brand I've tried in this mid tier-ish price range loses it's softness, and texture is a huge thing for me, this one stays soft! I actually just had someone over who commented that we had nice hand towels and I got them maybe 6 months ago.

I started using these and I’ve literally never looked back. They’re so much more absorbent than plush towels, so you can scrape the water off your body in seconds. And they last a really, really long time. ps Onsen generally has good sales so don’t pay full price!

I featured these striped towels ages ago on TCM, and at the time it seemed no one offered anything like them, however simple they may be. I still think they’re beautiful—classic, but unexpected. You’ve been tapping on the chocolate and white stripes, but you can also find the black and white here.

My first true adult purchase. It’s as if God themself wove this sheet. Towel not covering your whole body? Bath sheet. Feeling cold after your shower? BATH SHEET. Wanting a towel that’s like a blanket and a towel had a glorious child? BATH! SHEET! You are literally being wrapped entirely in a nice soft bundle. Truly a gift. I can’t tell you enough how life changing bath sheets are. Just get them. Get one. I have two, but just try it out! I promise you won’t want to go back to whatever “bath towels” are. Miss me with that nonsense.
