Luxury Bathrobes: The Perfect Gift for Every Occasion

While many towels are made from cotton, the material can vary significantly in terms of softness and absorbency. For example, Egyptian and Turkish cotton have long, extra-thick fibers that are soft, plush, and highly absorbent (though they may not dry as quickly as other options). Pima cotton is another option, which is sourced from the U.S. and has similar properties to Egyptian and Turkish cotton but can have a more slick feel.

Other fabrics to consider include bamboo and a blend of cotton with viscose or modal. The latter is eco-friendly and fast-drying, though it doesn’t feel as soft as cotton. Likewise, linen is ultrasoft and absorbent but can have a coarser texture. Lastly, combed and ring spun construction can make a difference, too. The former involves threading yarns through combs, which eliminates short fibers and creates a smoother towel. The latter involves twisting short fibers into a tighter weave to produce a denser fabric that can stand up better against wear and tear.
