Soft Baby Towels – Hooded & Cotton Terry Towels for Newborns
Every detail matters in baby products—especially when it involves your baby’s delicate skin. One of the most important essentials in a nursery is a high-quality baby towel. Whether you're drying your baby after bath time or wrapping them up for comfort, the towel you choose plays a key role in maintaining hygiene. The Towel Shop provides premium baby hooded towels made from soft and absorbent terry towelling cotton. These are designed for safety, comfort, and long-lasting use.
Why Baby Towels Are a Nursery Must-Have?
Babies have soft, sensitive skin that is more prone to irritation and dryness. Using a standard adult towel can be too rough and oversized, which may not provide the snug feel a baby needs. That’s why soft baby towels are designed to be:
- Smaller in size to wrap your baby securely.
- Extra soft to gently dry their sensitive skin.
- Highly absorbent for quick drying and warmth.
- Safe and breathable, reducing the risk of overheating.
A quality baby towel does more than just dry. It provides warmth, protection, and a sense of comfort during and after bath time. For new parents, it’s an item that brings both practicality and peace of mind.
Our Baby Towel Range: Terry Towelling with Hood
At The Towel Shop, our featured product is the Baby Hooded Towel – Terry Towelling. The soft towel is available at an affordable price and made from 100% cotton terry fabric. This towel includes a soft, attached hood to keep your baby’s head warm. The gentle texture and snug design make it a parent-favourite for everyday use and a thoughtful gift for baby showers
Why Is Terry Towelling Ideal for Babies?
Terry towelling is a fabric woven with many small loops that can absorb large amounts of water. It’s made using pure cotton, which is natural and non-irritating—making it the perfect material for hooded baby towels.
- Superior Absorbency – dries skin quickly without rubbing.
- Ultra Soft Feel – gentle enough for baby’s sensitive areas.
- Long-Lasting Fabric – withstands frequent washes.
- Hypoallergenic – safe for babies with allergies or eczema.
Terry towelling is the gold standard for bath towels, and when sized and sewn into a baby towel, it delivers the comfort and effectiveness new parents look for.
Understanding GSM in Baby Towels
GSM is the measurement that indicates a towel’s weight and thickness. It directly impacts how soft, absorbent, and durable a towel is.
- 300–400 GSM – Lightweight and quick-drying, good for travel but may feel thinner.
- 400–600 GSM – Ideal for baby towels; soft, absorbent, and easy to maintain.
- 600+ GSM – Extremely plush and warm but slower to dry.
Our hooded baby towels sit at around 500–600 GSM, giving the perfect balance between comfort and usability.

Caring for Baby Towels
Keeping soft baby towels clean and fresh is simple:
- Wash at 40°C using gentle, baby-friendly detergents.
- Avoid fabric conditioners, which can reduce absorbency.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry naturally.
- Do not bleach or iron, as it can weaken the cotton fibres.
With the right care, our baby towels will stay soft, fluffy, and absorbent wash after wash.
