Looking for a warm dressing gown not fleece

7 replies

I have spent the the past several years loving my fleecy dressing gown. Unfortunately, I now have a dust mite allergy and even though I wash on 60 degrees and tumble dry weekly, I can only wear it once before I start to itch and sneeze. So I am looking for a natural fiber, warm cozy dressing gown that I can regularly hot wash. Does such a thing exist? Towling ones just don't look warm and all other cotton ones tend to be thin summer types. For now I am wearing hoodies on rotation, but it's not the same. Any ideas?

I bought a gents towelling robe.

Much thicker than those for us, and the longer length is lovely for tucking round your feet.

Thank you @Blastandbollocks are they warm?

I have a gent’s towelling robe which I wear to and fro hydro, lovely and thick and warm.

It is, but not uncomfortably so; I can wear it in summer too. It was a couple of years ago from John Lewis, but they seem to do a similar one here.

I'm about 5ft 2" and mine is about lower calf length on me.

You can get decent quilted ones which I think would fit the bill

@Pyri that is a bit eye wateringly expensive. M&S is more like my budget.

@Blastandbollocks @shewhomustbeEbayed looked lime mens toweling with hood is a good idea then, thank you
