If you're comparing "Egyptian cotton" towels across different sellers, it's worth knowing exactly what that phrase means here first: Royal Egyptian is our own name for this collection, not a claim the cotton is grown in Egypt. It's genuinely 100% cotton, ring spun for softness, and reactive-dyed — a dyeing process that chemically bonds colour to the fibre at 60°C rather than just coating the surface, which is why the colour holds through years of washing rather than fading within months.
Institutions and households alike tend to land on 500gsm for the same reason: it dries faster than our heavier 600 and 700gsm ranges while still feeling like a proper towel, not a thin substitute. One returning reviewer put it plainly — a towel bought over a year earlier was still soft and absorbent, which is really the whole test for a mid-weight everyday towel. Our towel sizes guide shows how each size compares.

FAQs
Is this Egyptian cotton?
Royal Egyptian is our own name for this collection, not a claim about growing origin — it's 100% cotton, ring spun and reactive-dyed for lasting colour. Call 01204 653023 if you'd like more detail on sourcing before ordering at scale.
What does "reactive-dyed" mean for how long the colour lasts?
It's a dyeing process that chemically bonds colour to the cotton fibre at 60°C rather than coating the surface, so it holds up to years of regular washing far better than a surface-dyed towel.
How does 500gsm compare to your 600 and 700gsm ranges?
500gsm dries faster and suits everyday use in guest rooms and households. Our 600gsm and 700gsm ranges add thickness and wash life at a higher unit cost.
Do you stock matching hand towels, face cloths and bath sheets?
Yes — 500gsm Royal Egyptian hand towels, face cloths and bath sheets are all available in the same colour range.
What pack sizes are available for a bulk order?
