Recommend me some new fluffy towels

The time has come to replace the old towels that we have had for years.
Anyone recommend the best place to buy lovely soft fluffy towels that will stay soft and fluffy.

We don't have a tumble drier as I know in previous threads that's been the overwhelming response to keeping towels fluffy.

I'm thinking something like Egyptian cotton towels would be good?

We stayed at a boutique B and B recently with lovely fluffy towels. I looked at the label. It said Dunelm 100% Egyptian cotton.
I keep meaning to get some.

In a clearance sale at a bathroom company, I got some boxes of soft fluffy towels which have fur-like threads rather than twists, gave them to friends and family, they wore out quickly and went bald in the middle.

I just bought some lovely Christie ones from just linen, at 70% off, otherwise pricy. Other than those, my softest towels are tesco finest. I did read some reviews somewhere recently - good housekeeping or prima probably - and Bhs came out top. Can't remember which ones precisely though.

The best quality towels will be a high thread count, the heavier the better. Cheaper towels won't tell you the thread count, so avoid.

Very good, high thread count towels will last for years - 10 or more - so it is worth the investment IMHO.

these look good for the money but I've not bought from the company. My last towels came from Tk maxx and a great weight but I couldn't get a full set in one colour Sad

I love my bhs ones! Although I have to admit I do tumble them after line drying

www.kingofcotton.co.uk/product.php/28/luxury_650gsm_modal_towels I bought these about six years ago, I do tumble dry but they are by far the softest, fluffiest towels even when line- or indoor-dried. Excellent value for money, and really good customer service ime.

Tesco finest.

CountessRosinaAlmaviva · 24/09/2014 23:36

I've had the same John Lewis Egyptian cotton towels for years and they are still good.

Greenrememberedhills · 24/09/2014 23:40

Don't get the ones with a self stripe a few inches before each end; they always pucker.

Dunelm Hotel Range. Stay away from Christy ones - we put some on our wedding list last year and although we've used them loads, they are fraying already. Hoped they'd last 5 years +

madamemuddle · 27/09/2014 19:07

John Lewis egyptian cotton.

MrsPnut · 27/09/2014 19:09

I have loads from Next, some are nearly 16 years old and are still going strong. I also have some from John Lewis that are almost as old.

Another recommendation for BHS, lovely thick fluffy towels.
