New Bath Towels

[WishICouldThinkOfACoolUsername]

Tell me where to look please!

Looking for huge fluffy bath sheets

They need to be in neutral colours (think oatmeal, beige, cream) please.

Any thoughts? Going to look at Dunelm, John Lewis and TK Maxx, but where else? Probably would like something a bit "nicer" luxurious so probably ridiculously expensive than Asda/Tesco.

I'm really disappointed with my JL ones I bought 6 months ago. I think they were called Prima cotton.
They've been washed together but the bath mat and hand towels have gone a completely different colour.

Do pass on your old towels to local cat or dog rescues. They are so grateful. My new ones are M&S, the dearer ones - can't remember name, and they are excellent.

I am a firm fan of Christy towels and I do think it's with spending the extra. Having said that I picked up some bath sheets in asda last week for £6 each and they are surprisingly good! Needed a few washes and tumbles to get them super absorbent but such a bargain.

My mum has Primark towels and they are lovely and thick. We have Bhs hand towels from the Ultimate range and they are lovely and fluffy (although wash label says to tumble dry them for best effects and having air dried them in the summerI have to agree they are fluffier tumble dried). Will be buying these when replace 'OK but not in the same league' Next towels. Daughter has a Dunelm bath towel for swimming and it doesn't seem to absorb water well. It's very strange. It is fluffy and it says Egyptian cotton on the label but is hard work to dry her off and get any water absorbed fast. I personally would not replace our towels with Dunelm's but maybe chlorine does something to the towel?!

I got some lovely ones from Matalan, the bath sheets were about £14 I think, but REALLY big, good quality, thick and fluffy, very impressed indeed.

And I have a bit of a thing for bath towels. I've found that sticking with white is the way to go though, much better to match and get properly clean. I leave the colour to the floor mats and other accessories.

DD1 is about to discard the Ikea towels I bought her to go to Uni in 2004 .not saying they are especially fluffy any more but they have worn well
Second BHS ...Lots of our towels are from there and they last well-have discarded some 12 year old ones recently but only because bathroom redecorated really. Was saving 'in case' but am being minimalist.Have found BHS colour range a bit limited in the past -wanted purple and teal towels to go in two redecorated bedrooms and ended up with Sainsburys.They are fine for occasional 'guest' use but dont think they would stand up to repeated washing in the same way J Lewis are good if bought in sales

I got these recently - they're lovely and fluffy, and so far are washing very well.

Primark do really good cotton sheets grumpy

[Madbengalmum]

I always think Christy towels are the best eygptian cotton and wash the best too.

I'm looking forward to a wee shopping spree at the weekend. Been online and so far Dunelm and White Company are coming out best in terms of colours/sizes/prices but will also have a look at Primark/Sainsburys etc

[Grumpyoldblonde]

Are the Primark ones really that good? I have heard good things about their Egyptian cotton bedding range, do they also have a luxury towel range? If so, I will give those a whirl, my towels are hard and scratchy although fairly new.

[SnakeWitch]

From Primark that should say, stupid phone!

MIL got me some lovely thick bath towels from when I asked for some. She made a point of saying she had been and felt towels in loads of shops and they were the best, I think she was worried I might think she was being cheap! They are lovely.

[SmallGreenBouncyBall]

for hair the mircofibre turbans from the pondshop are the best ever.

[SmallGreenBouncyBall]

I got surprisingly nice, fluffy 100% cotton light grey/beige ones af sainsbury's of all places.

[WishICouldThinkOfACoolUsername]

Loving all these suggestions, thanks! Also big thanks to Gas for the hair towel tip, I have very long hair and had totally forgotten that thick towels don't do too well with that - it's ages since I bought new towels hence the excitement!

[GasLIghtShining]

If you use the towels to wrap your hair up in the thick one are useless (my personal opinion). Can't get on with them as too thick. Bit of a Matalan fan for this reason. Although I do have nice thick ones as people seem to find it hard to understand 'can I have towels from Matalan' in reply the question 'what would you like for your birthday?' Apparently the thread on here somewhere says it's rude to give presents back because you don't want/like them!

[Nanasueathome]

Have to agree as above
White Company are excellent
Some of Mine are several years old, used a lot, and are still as soft and fluffy as new
Bath sheets are very large size
Usually get mine from the outlet at Bicester, slight seconds, half the price you would pay in regular store

[LordOfMisrule]

The only redeemable thing about BHS is their towels and bedding. Go to BHS!

[AddToBasket]

I have some gorgeous ones from the White Company. They are thick and delicious and wash really well. The downside is they take up so much room in the washing machine and take ages to dry that I basically just keep them for guests or special baths.

[Mumwithdilemmas]

Try Richard Howarth online we get all our linens from here.

[WishICouldThinkOfACoolUsername]

Thanks everyone! Will definitely report back although might take til the weekend!

[Borninthe60s]

Primark!

[Borninthe60s]

Primary bath sheets are unbeatable quality and wash and wash. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Our top of the range towels from john lewis have stood the test of time far better than our top of the range towels from Dunelm Mill. They were considerably more expensive however.
