Bath Towels

Q: What size is a standard bath towel?

The standard size of a bath towel in Australia is around 75 cm by 145 cm.

Q: What is a good quality towel made out of?

This depends on personal preference somewhat but Egyptian and Turkish cotton are often seen as luxurious choices for bathroom towels. Some people prefer lighter microfibre or bamboo options though so it really depends on you.

Q: What GSM is best for towels?

The higher the GSM rating, the more absorbent the towel will be. A good place to start when picking out your bath towel is 400-600 GSM and see how that works for you.

A cosy, fluffy towel is an everyday staple. Though primarily functional, there’s no reason they can’t be decorative.

Types of bath towels

Turkish cotton bath towels

Turkish towels are made with 100% cotton, which means they're incredibly absorbent and soft enough that they feel like velvet against your skin. A very popular choice in Australia.

Egyptian cotton bath towels

Egyptian cotton towels are the perfect addition to any bathroom. Their absorbency and softness make drying off after a shower a breeze, while their luxuriousness makes it feel like you're being treated to a spa experience every time you wash your hands.

Linen bath towels

Linen towels dry quickly, look elegant against a contemporary decor, and are easily washable. Unlike cotton, linen is known to be a “natural exfoliator,” which can help smoothen and rejuvenate your skin.

Bamboo bath towels

Bamboo bath towels are highly resistant to shrinking or piling, and they’re also a great option for those sensitive to other fabrics. Bamboo towels are also antibacterial and antifungal.

The advantages of high-quality bath towels

Bath towels are a necessity in any household in Australia. The right towel can make all the difference and not just in terms of comfort either. The main advantage of high-quality bath towels is that they're more absorbent than lower-quality ones. This makes them more comfortable to use and reduces the need for multiple towels at a time. High quality bath towels are also sturdier and longer-lasting than cheaper towels. Superior fabrics like Egyptian cotton are softer and will retain their characteristics even after multiple washes. They won't pile up or fade quickly as lesser fabrics do, which means you'll save money in the long run too.

How to choose a bath towel that’s right for you

First, think about how much space you have in your bathroom. Do you have a towel rack that can hold multiple large towels? If you have limited space, try to stick to lightweight towels like bamboo or cotton. Next, think about how often you use your towel and how long it takes to dry after washing it. Bath towel density (GSM) determines how quickly the towel dries and how fluffy it is. If you want a towel for the gym, a low density towel (around 300 GSM) won’t be as fluffy, but it’s incredibly lightweight. Alternatively, if you’re looking for an incredibly luxurious experience, choose towels around 600-900 GSM. Lastly, make certain that your bath towels not only match the rest of your decor but also harmonize seamlessly with your bath mats, bathrobes, face cloths, and hand towels. This attention to detail will elevate the overall aesthetic of your bathroom space, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere.

How many bath towels do I need?

The number of towels you will need in the household depends on a number of factors including the number of people in the household and how often you change or towels on a weekly basis. Generally speaking, four towels per person should be plenty as it allows you to have two in the wash and two that are clean, if you’re doing the washing a couple of times a week.
