400 GSM Towels – Affordable Quality for Everyday and Institutional Use

Towels are an essential part of both domestic and commercial environments. Among the various towel options available in the market, 400 GSM towels strike a perfect balance between quality and affordability. At Absolute Home Textiles, we offer a wide range of 400 GSM towels in the UK, designed to meet the demands of both home users and professionals. Our 400 GSM towel collection provides reliable options without compromising on comfort or cost-efficiency.

What Does 400 GSM Mean in Towels?

GSM stands for “grams per square metre,” a unit used to measure the density and weight of a fabric. The higher the GSM, the thicker and heavier the towel.

  • 400 GSM towels fall into the medium-weight category.
  • They are lighter than plush 600–700 GSM towels, but still highly absorbent and durable.
  • These towels are ideal for high-turnover environments, such as hotels, gyms, and health facilities, where they need to be washed and dried frequently.

400 GSM towels are a smart choice for businesses looking to buy affordable towels in bulk without compromising functionality.

Benefits of Choosing 400 GSM Towels

There are several reasons why 400 GSM towels remain popular across various sectors in the UK:

Quick Drying Time: These towels dry faster than higher-GSM options. This makes them more energy-efficient when laundering in bulk and ideal for high-traffic areas.

Lightweight & Easy to Handle: Due to their moderate weight, 400 GSM towels are easier to fold, stack, and store—perfect for hotels, hospitals, care homes, and spas.

Economical for Bulk Use: They’re priced competitively and built to withstand regular commercial laundering. That makes them a favourite in the hospitality and institutional sectors.

Absorbent & Comfortable: Despite being lightweight, they still offer good absorbency and a soft texture, making them suitable for both commercial and personal use.

Materials Used in Our 400 GSM Towel Collection

At Absolute Home Textiles, our 400 GSM towel range is crafted using high-quality materials that ensure comfort, absorbency, and long-lasting use.

100% Cotton

Most of our 400 GSM towels are made from 100% cotton, offering natural softness and absorbency. Cotton is breathable, gentle on the skin, and highly efficient in absorbing moisture.

Ring-Spun Cotton

Our ring-spun cotton towels are especially popular for commercial use. This manufacturing technique twists and thins the cotton fibres, creating a stronger, smoother yarn. It results in durable yet soft towels that can handle regular washing cycles without breaking down.

Chlorine-Resistant Options

We also offer chlorine-resistant pool towels in this weight category—perfect for hotels, swimming centres, and spas. These towels are engineered to resist fading and wear caused by exposure to pool chemicals and sunlight.

Care Instructions for 400 GSM Towels

Proper maintenance ensures your towels retain their absorbency and lifespan:

  • Pre-wash before first use to remove any residue
  • Wash at 40°C for everyday cleaning
  • For deep sanitation, 60°C washes are suitable for white towels
  • Avoid bleach and softeners as they damage fibres
  • Tumble dry on low heat to maintain softness and avoid shrinkage
  • Do not iron – it crushes the loops and affects absorbency
  • Store in a dry, ventilated space when not in use

With the right care, your 400 GSM towels will maintain their performance for dozens of cycles.
