These Are the 10 Best Bath Towels for 2025

Beloved for their superior softness and ultra-absorbent weave, you can’t go wrong with a set of Frontgate’s Resort Collection bath towels. Available in over 20 different colors and a variety of sizes (including matching hand towels and washcloths), these towels are made from high-quality Turkish cotton woven to 700 GSM for a thicker, more durable design than many other styles on the market. Bonus: Add a monogram for an added dose of luxury.

Matouk is a trusted name in bathroom and bedding linens. One look at these towels and it’s easy to see why they’re considered some of the most luxurious on the market. Made in Portugal, these towels are woven from 100% long-staple, zero-twist cotton that provides a plush feel while also keeping the towel light and airy. Even better, this style towel comes in a variety of other designs—including a bath mat and robe—so you can curate your entire bathroom for a posh hotel feel.

Sometimes, you just want a fast and easy option when buying home goods, and these towels from Amazon give you convenience without sacrificing quality. Made from 100% Turkish cotton and available in 14 different hues, this option boasts over 5,000 5-star ratings, with many happy shoppers calling attention to their absorbency, generous size, and distinct plush feel that remains even after months of regular use and washing.

If you’re someone who prefers to be cocooned in your bath towel post-shower picking out an outfit or getting ready, then a bath sheet might be the best option for you. Unlike a traditional towel, most of which measure around 27 x 52 inches, bath sheets are considerably larger, with many spanning as big as 40 x 70 inches, like this set of two from Quince. Even better, you’ll be wrapped in 100% long-stable Turkish cotton with a 500 GSM that dries fast and, according to one reviewer, “feels like a hug.”

Though many of the more plush towels on our list are made from Turkish cotton, traditional Turkish towels are thinner and feature a flat, tight weave (instead of the traditional loops seen on standard options). This makes them lightweight and slim (easy to store!), but they still boast a surprising level of absorbency. In fact, many shoppers who purchased DEMMEX’s version note that the towels absorbed water quickly on contact and dried far faster than some of their fluffier counterparts. Choose from over 20 different colors and stripe combinations.

We all typically fall into one of two camps: You either love a waffle towel, or you hate it. If you’re in the former group, you’re going to want to spring for the best-in-class waffle towels from Brooklinen. With a generously-sized waffle box design, these 290 GSM towels are decidedly less fluffy than a traditional towel, but what they lack in plushness they make up for in absorbency. They’re also enjoyably lightweight, making them a great option for anyone who lives in a warmer climate, or those who don’t like the wrapping up in a heavy, fleecy towel.

Your kiddos deserve a towel upgrade, too! In fact, we’d argue that absorbency and plushness are most important in the under-10-years-old category, and this Pottery Barn style provides both. Designed with 100% cotton terry woven into an ultra-plush 550 GSM weight, this colorful pick comes in several different prints and sizes, including a washcloth, hand towel, regular towel, and hooded towel. Each piece can even be personalized with a name or monogram, making these a great option for gifting or parents looking to upgrade their little one’s bathroom.

When it comes to quality bath towels, no one does basics-but-make-it-better better than Weezie. Known for their luxe 100% cotton designs that are woven in Portugal and hypoallergenic, low-lint, and OEKO-TEX certified, Weezie has some of the best bath towels for material quality and certifications. Kick things off with the signature starter pack, which will stock your linen closet with four stylish piped-edge towels and two hand towels. They can also be personalized for an extra special touch.

It’s a common gripe for many, but unfortunately, bath towels can start smelling musty after a while. Common culprits are moisture-related: remaining damp, mold growth, a build-up of detergent, or improper storage. So, choosing a towel that is known to dry fast is an easy way to help prevent odors and bacteria from taking hold of your linens. These Green Earth bath towels are made from trademarked Micro Cotton® fabric that provides a quick-drying, lightweight feel that’s soft as butter, with a slightly textured weave that allows it to suck up moisture in an instant.
