Cotton Types We Stock
100% Cotton — our core range. Soft, breathable, naturally absorbent. The standard material across bath towels, hand towels and tea towels.
Egyptian Cotton — longer fibres than standard cotton, producing a softer, more durable towel. Our 700 GSM Royal Egyptian range uses double yarn construction for maximum density and longevity.
Bamboo & Cotton Blend — our softest material. Naturally antibacterial, quick drying and eco-friendly. Available in our 700 GSM Ultimate Bamboo Collection.
Ring-Spun Cotton — used in our institutional range. The ring-spun process removes short fibres, creating a stronger, smoother yarn that holds its softness through commercial laundering cycles.

FAQs
What are the best towels for everyday home use?
For most UK home bathrooms, 500 GSM 100% cotton bath towels or bath sheets give the best combination of softness, absorbency and practical drying time. If you want extra plushness, our 700 GSM Royal Egyptian range is our thickest and most luxurious option.
What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
A standard bath towel is typically 70 x 130 cm. A bath sheet is larger — usually 90 x 150 cm or more — providing better full-body coverage and a more comfortable wrap. Bath sheets are the better choice for most adults.
Do you sell towels wholesale?
Yes. We supply hotels, gyms, salons, care homes, schools and trade buyers across the UK with no minimum order. See our wholesale towels page for the full trade range and bulk pricing.
What GSM is best for towels?
500 GSM is the most popular for everyday home use. 400 GSM is best for commercial environments needing fast drying. 600-700 GSM is for premium luxury use. See our GSM guide above for the full breakdown.
