One easy way to spruce up your bathroom and add some sense of luxury is by investing in plush bath towels. With so many options on the market, you are left wondering whether to choose the thickest, most expensive or softest towel. Your choice will depend on your needs and preferences.

At a minimum, every person needs at least two bath towels and two bath sheets to alternate between washes. Of course, if you have a large family, you'll need to invest in a number of towels. At Bed Bath & Beyond, we carry a variety of options in different colors, styles, and textures. Is your standard bath towel not doing the trick? You may want to consider grabbing a few bath sheets. As the name suggests, these options are larger than bath towels. While not exactly the size of a sheet, they typically measure 40 x 70 inches, which is about 70% larger than your average towel. These are a perfect option if you love wrapping your body with a towel after a bath. Bath sheets give you a more luxurious experience. Since they are large and fluffy, they quickly absorb water and remain dry even after use.

Bath towels, on the other hand, cost less than bath sheets. If you love to towel dry your hair, you can wrap it up in cotton bath towels after a shower. The bath towels are also easy to store. They fit perfectly onto your towel hooks, and you can store several of them in a shared bathroom. Plus, they dry more quickly and are lighter to pack up while going on a trip.

There are several things you should consider when buying bath towels & rugs. Start by checking the fiber content since it affects the towel's absorbency. Towels that are 100 percent cotton are usually more absorbent. Read through the production highlight before purchase to know the towel's texture. Note that the combed cotton towels are softer and more durable. Towels with a higher twist are more durable, but those with a lower twist are usually more absorbent and plusher. Consider the weight of the towel. The denser the towel, the softer it is and the more it can absorb. Anything between 500 and 700 grams per square meter will give you a balance in thickness, fluffiness, and absorbency. Pick the right color and style of towels based on your preferences. One creative trick is to stack the towels in your bathroom cabinets based on the season. For instance, you can use bright colors for spring and summer and dull ones for winter and fall. Fluffy white towels will go well in any style and setting.
