John Lewis.

But.

To keep the nice fluffy feeling you have to use conditioner IMO.

To keep absorbency you don't, however then they're not as fluffy.

It's a minefield, it really is

it is!!

I like a nice stiff crispy towel straight from the line....

kids are begging for fluffiness!

thanks for the john lewis recommendation...is it their own brand you mean?

Dunelm do nice towels. We have a set in the guest room which are nice, with large bath sheets too.

Unless anyone suggests better, I am off to buy a load this weekend to replace our 15yo wedding present towels too!!

I can't stand crispy towels, I tumble dry them all year to get them nice and fluffy!

John Lewisand tumble dry every time

Yes the Egyptian cotton ones. Don't get the matching flannels though as they are very heavy and bulky. Which is a strange thing to say about a flannel!

I like a nice light cloth for my bits

Gorgeous quality towels which really last. With excellent customer service and very reasonable prices. (No, I don't work for them! )

Ours are from Dunelm. I like theirs because they do lovely colours which means we can all have our own colour, so no-one ends up using each other's towel. Plus the fact that they wash and last really, really well.

Most of mine are John Lewis heaviest weight, but the nicest ones I have come from the white company

I find tumble drying them keeps them super soft.

Do ensure you buy them at a time when you have plenty of spare time, I bought gorgeous towels 2 months ago and the fluff it created in the bathroom involved a good clean every other day. It was everywhere. Though thankfully my towels were in a delicate light duck egg blue where my dear friend had a bathroom full of black fluff for a month.

TK Maxx for v fancy ones at half the price.

I also recommend John Lewis. The Pima ones (Egyptian cotton) seem to be the nicest at the moment; they keep changing the names which doesn't help....

Oh god. Decisions decisions.

Have yet to choose a colour! It's a minefield eh?

Who knew?!

Got to go to a shitty work meeting now. Will enjoy perusing this evening!

Thanks everyone btw!

I second TK Maxx. You might have to have a root around but really good prices.

White company without a doubt best towels around by miles.

Another vote for White company. Wait until they are on sale / you have a 30% off code.

I prefer crisp off the line but tumble dry also good!

Tried tkmaxx yesterday. Not much choice really. Nothing that I really liked.

When do white company have their sales? Amy idea roughly?

Thanks again for all of your replies.

I am off today to see if John Lewis Egyptian cotton is that much nicer than Dunelm Egyptian cotton to merit £25 per bath sheet instead of Dunelm's £15 each.

Haha, we could spend hours and hours deciding and in reality all are probably fine!

We have nice BHS ones, still going strong after 13 years of marriage.

Primark always come out well in Which/WI/Good Housekeeping type reviews!

Ours are from m&s,jl and tkmax but had fab towels in holiday apartment from dunelm so def will look there next time I'm buying some

I have lovely fluffy set of John Lewis Egyptian cotton ones (pure white, natch) but was in Dunelm the other day and their Egyptian ones seemed just as 'naice'! I'll probably go for Dunelm for when I need some more.

Got to be careful with the white company, I've stopped shopping there now.

Our towels are 7 years old, posh Christie ones I got water damaged in the sale.

Aunts lovely towels are Primark.

Why be careful with white company????

Am shaking thinking they are going into administration or something!

Someone please tell me????
