The 6 best bath towels, tested and reviewed
- The best bath towels should be warm, cozy, absorbent, and durable. Business Insider tested 14 bath towels for absorption, durability, and comfort.
- The top pick is the Kassatex Atelier Bath Towel known for its plushness and absorbency, featuring a classic dobby border. The Riley Home Spa Towel is a close runner-up with a modern design.
- Other top picks include the Target Threshold Antimicrobial Towel for budget-friendly options, Pottery Barn Hydrocotton Organic Bath Towel for quick-drying, and Coyuchi Mediterranean Organic Towel for Turkish towels.
- The Onsen Waffle Weave Bath Towel is recommended for its waffle design that is lightweight, absorbent, and quick-drying.
- Factors to consider when purchasing bath towels include material (gsm, long-staple, extra-long staple cotton), absorbency, size, and certifications like Oeko Tex and GOTS.
- It is advisable to wash bath towels every three to four uses, hang them to air dry, and fold them when storing in linen closets. Mildew growth can cause towels to smell.
- Regular cleaning with warm water and vinegar/baking soda can help maintain towel quality. Towels made from long-staple and extra long-staple cotton are more durable.
- Overall, the best bath towels are those that offer a balance of absorbency, drying time, and durability, tailored to individual preferences and needs.
