Shopping For Towels
The three most
common grades of cotton are: Egyptian, Supima and Standard. Most
towels will be Terry, which simply means it has loops. The most
absorbent towels will be made of cotton with loops across the entire
surface. The longer and denser these loops are, the thicker and more
absorbent the towels will be. If the towel has a pattern or design
printed on it, it is called a Print towel, and if it has decorative
designer embroidery it is called Embellished.
An important
consideration when choosing towels is the frequency of their use. If
they are used everyday, you are better off with a higher quality
towel. They will last much longer and be able to withstand lots of
use and abuse by the washer, dryer and you.
SIZING:
Wrapping yourself in a thick oversized bath towel is one of
life's luxuries. Since manufacturers may vary their towel size
specifications slightly, these dimensions are approximate
measurements and may not be exact to every towel line. Note that
Bath Towels can come in a range of sizes.
Also note
that not all towel lines carry these sizes:
- BATH SHEET: 35 x 60
inches (What's a bath sheet you may ask? Larger than a bath towel,
it's a more luxurious size towel that you can really wrap yourself
up in)
- BATH TOWEL: 27 x 52 to
30 x 58 inches (includes Oversized Towels)
- HAND TOWEL: 16 x 30
inches
- WASH CLOTH: 13 x 13
inches
- FINGERTIP: 11 x 18
inches
- TUBMAT: 22 x 34 inches
