Towels

Just wondering if I could have some recommendations please for bathroon towels. I usually buy from M&S who have lovely colours but their absorbency is really poor. It's their top of the range selection. The ones we're using at the moment are only about two months old, take ages to dry on the towel rail. They are washed once a week (only 2 of us) and I never use fabric softener. Would really love thick luxury feel and for them to last. Any advice where I might find these would be great.

I would recommend Heal's towels. I wanted to buy some more and accidentally bought some Habitat ones - they are nowhere near as good

I'm sorry- I'm sidetracked by you mentioned there is only 2 of you as being significant in how often you wash them.
You don't SHARE them do you????? 😮

No, no, no, no sharing here!!!!

Yves Delorme Etoile Towels, pricey though. King of Cotton do something similar (Modal Luxury Towels).

I got a bale of white bathtowels x6 and white handtowelsx12 from Costco (just looked up the name Grandeur Hospitality) years ago .

And a couple of bathsheets from Amazon - no particular brand .

They've done well , no shredding or that horrible puckering that some towels do at the short edges .

We have John Lewis Egyptian Cotton towels. They are 8 years old (wedding gift) and still like new.

We have lovely soft and fluffy ones from John Lewis

Each one of us has an individual colour so they never get mixed up

They fluff up beautifully in the tumble dryer
