Towels – How to Choose Quality Towels for Every Use

Material as the foundation of quality

Cotton remains the most popular material thanks to its absorbency and softness – check whether it's 100% cotton or a blend. Bamboo fibers offer natural antibacterial protection and exceptional softness, while microfiber dries quickly and takes up minimal space. Quality brands like BENETTON and KRONBORG use premium materials that withstand frequent washing without losing absorbency.

Thread density – GSM value

GSM (grams per square meter) determines the thickness and absorption of a towel. Values of 300-400 GSM are ideal for everyday use, while 500-700 GSM indicates luxury, spa-quality towels that are thicker and more absorbent. Lower GSM (below 300) works well for the beach or gym because it dries faster.

Weave and edge finishing

Ringspun cotton produces a softer and more durable towel than standard cotton. Pay attention to edge finishing – double-stitched or bordered towels maintain their shape even after numerous washes. JYSK and PS FASHION offer a wide selection with quality finishing touches.

Sizes and purposes

Hand towels (30×50 cm) and face towels (50×100 cm) are basic staples for every bathroom. Bath towels (70×140 cm) are the most popular for daily use, while beach towels (100×180 cm) provide enough space for lounging. For sauna or spa sets, choose extra-large formats.

Care and longevity

Wash new towels before first use to remove excess dye and activate the fibers – avoid fabric softeners as they reduce absorbency. Wash at 60°C without excessive detergent and air-dry or tumble dry on low heat. Quality towels retain their softness and color for years when properly maintained.
