What are some common material in plush bath towels?

Here are some of the most common materials used to make plush bath towels:

Cotton

Fluffy, highly absorbent cotton is the classic material for bath towels. It’s breathable and durable.

Bamboo

Made from the bamboo plant, bamboo towels are incredibly soft, quick drying, and hypoallergenic.

Terry cotton

Terry cotton is a looped cotton weave that gives towels their characteristic plush, absorbent feel.

Microfiber

Ultra-thin synthetic microfiber makes towels that are lightweight yet quick drying. Less absorbent than cotton.

Cotton blend

Mixing cotton with synthetic fibers like polyester makes towels that are softer, more durable and quick drying.

Egyptian cotton

Extremely fine, long-staple cotton threads make plush, absorbent Egyptian cotton towels.

Hemp

Naturally antibacterial hemp yields soft, absorbent towels that are gentler on sensitive skin.

Chenille

A plush, tufted pile fabric that yields cushiony towels but may pill more over time.

Fleece

Thick, cozy fleece makes super plush towels that are cushioning yet less absorbent.

Cotton, either pure or blended, remains the most popular material for soft, absorbent plush towels.
