Buying bathroom towels isn't as easy as walking into a store and buying them, well you can do that if you wish, but you don't have any idea on the quality of the product you are purchasing and may find that your towel only lasts a few months, rather than a few years.
With the majority of homeowners taking extra care when making purchases on their bathroom linens these days and trying to design sophisticated and luxurious bathroom spaces, it's no surprise that you want the highest quality bathroom towels that are soft, luxurious and made to last, which is why you need to take some factors into consideration to ensure you buy the best of the best.
Quality is probably one of the most important factors that you can take into consideration, especially if you want to purchase a product that will last for years.
At this point paying a slightly higher price can offer you years of use, rather than paying a low price and having to replace the product in a few months, costing you much more in the long run.
Quality is usually easy to determine and this can be based on material and thread count.
The reputable suppliers, whether online or in-store will be able to provide you with the thread count.
Look for products on less than four hundred gsm count, these are the lowest range of high quality that you want to go, ideally up to six hundred and fifty gsm, which is probably the best you can buy.
Material is the next decision you want to make.
Bathroom towels come in a choice of materials, all of which will involve cotton, which is a breathable, durable and highly absorbent material.
These options range from poly-cotton blends to one hundred percent cotton options to the luxurious Egyptian cotton choices.
You may have to decide based on your budget, but remember nothing less than a four hundred gsm count should be considered.
Absorbency is another major consideration.
There is nothing worse than getting out of the bath or shower, drying yourself off only to find that you are still wet when trying to get dressed.
You expect a certain absorbency from your bathroom towels and the best material is cotton.
Cotton is highly absorbent and can soak up all the water, leaving you bone dry, which brings you to your next important consideration, drying time.
Chances are you don't use a towel once and then throw it in the washing basket.
You probably use a towel at least twice before putting it in the washing machine, but you don't want a wet towels musking up your bathroom.
It is important to ensure any linen you purchase for your bath space is not only absorbent, but also dries quickly, having it dry for your next bath or shower.
This is also useful when washing, ensuring they dry quickly, so you can fold them and pack them away ready to be used.
In addition to these important considerations, it is also important that you purchase bathroom towels which are durable and will last a long time.
This comes down to price and quality.
Paying for cheap towels doesn't ensure that they will last, where paying slightly more for a good quality towels means you will have that towel to use for a very long time, saving you money in the long run.
Your final consideration when choosing bathroom towels is colour.
You may want to mix and match your colours adding splashes of colour in an all-white bathroom.
Whatever colours you choose they should enhance the room, add that touch of personality and style and brighten up the space.
