I'm looking for a towel that's bath sheet size, 100% cotton and most importantly extra extra extra thick and plush. Any recommendations?

I was coming to ask the exact same question OP when I found this thread! I don't know the answer, but its a hopefully bump that someone else can help us both 😊

I like Margo Selby for John Lewis, but although they have the size, I am not sure of the thickness.

Can't help as I hate thick towels. Mine have to be 100% cotton but NOT thick. I think it's a British thing for thick towels. Why would you not have a towel that can dry quickly? I change my towels every 2-3 days depending on weather.

I love the towels I have :) and money is no object when it comes to towels.

TK Maxx is always worth a look.

Dunelm do an extra large bath sheet, t's massive! Larger than your everyday bath sheet I'd say 😆 It's lovely and thick, not sure of your standards tho!

@Changeeusername I'm more interested in your style of towel, can you tell me the make?
I have sets from Dip and Dose but they're too big and too thick for me so maybe you'd like them OP

I have a "snag" towel....its fabulous, it's huge (I'm rather large!) , goes round me twice, at least 6ft long and about 3 ft ? wide.

The White company do nice big fluffy ones. The secret to maintaining their fluffiness is vinegar in the wash..

I got a habitat one from Sainsburys that i’ve been very pleased with.

I have the John Lewis luxury spa towel. Love it, yes it’s thick and heavy but keeps me warm when I get out of the shower in the winter.

I bought a lovely one yesterday in tk maxx - think it’s Sony. Very plush and bath towel sized

Look for gsi (grams per square inch). The higher, the better.

Another vote for John Lewis, lovely thick fluffy bath sheets.

dollymixedup · 02/03/2024 22:17

Anorak do nice towels - bold designs if that's your thing.

I’ve got an xxl bath sheet from Jasper Conran. I’ve had it 7 years and it’s going strong :)

Twwodoorsaway · 02/03/2024 22:39

We have extra large bath sheets from Soak and Sleep. They are huge and very fluffy, even after a few years and lots of washes!

I'm plus size and the bath sheets from Asda and Sainsbury's are plenty big enough to go round me and I'm both tall and fat. 100% cotton and they wash up lovely.

ScabbyHorse · 03/03/2024 20:09

Yes, asda towels are lovely
