10 Best Towels on Amazon That Testers Say Are Soft and Absorbent
glamour.com, this is where you should consider the thread count, which for bath, face, and hand towels is measured in gsm, or grams per square meter.
The thread count is also indicative of weight and feel.As a general rule of thumb: The higher the thread count, the thicker, fluffier, and warmer your towel will be. (Most mid-weight options have 500 to 650 gsm, so if you want something lighter, you’ll want to look for styles with lower gsm, and vice versa if you prefer a chunky, hotel-like feel.) Towels with a higher thread count are also more likely to stand the test of time, since they tend to be more durable absorbent.No matter what kind of towels you buy, they all require proper care to stay soft over time.
Always read care instructions, as every fabric, even cotton, is different. (Pro tip: Adding baking soda or vinegar will help soften your towels even more than traditional fabric softener.)Whether you’re looking to revamp your bath-time ritual or are looking for towels similar to the luxe ones in five-star hotels, these tested and recommend options are some of the best towels on Amazon that money can buy.
