600 GSM Towels
600 GSM Towels – The Perfect Balance of Luxury and Everyday Functionality
Towels are a fundamental part of daily life, but not every towel provides the same level of comfort, absorbency, or durability. For those seeking a towel that combines plush softness with long-term performance, 600 GSM towels offer an ideal solution. At Absolute Home Textiles, our 600 GSM towels are manufactured in-house using the finest quality cotton. This direct control over the production process ensures consistency, excellent value, and superior performance. Our collection offers dependable luxury built to last.
Understanding 600 GSM Towels
GSM stands for grams per square metre and is a measure of fabric density. A 600 GSM towel is denser and heavier than standard towels, making it thicker, more absorbent, and softer to the touch. This weight category is considered mid to high-range and strikes a perfect balance between plushness and practicality. Unlike lighter towels, 600 GSM towels do not lose their shape easily. They maintain their structure after repeated washes and continue to feel soft and luxurious. While they may take slightly longer to dry due to their thickness, they offer unmatched absorbency and warmth, which makes them ideal for colder climates and high-use environments.
Face Cloths
Face cloths are a small but essential part of every bathroom or skincare routine. In a 600 GSM weight, these cloths become incredibly soft and effective. Their dense cotton loops gently exfoliate while absorbing water efficiently, making them a great fit for both home and professional settings.
Hand Towels
Hand towels are used more frequently than any other towel type in both residential and commercial spaces. A 600 GSM hand towel offers a premium drying experience every time. Its thickness allows it to absorb moisture quickly, while its softness ensures a pleasant feel on the skin.
Bath Towels
Bath towels in a 600 GSM weight offer the perfect level of comfort and practicality. They are generously sized to wrap around the body and thick enough to absorb water quickly. These towels create a warm feel after a shower or bath, mimicking the experience of a spa or luxury hotel.
Bath Sheets
Bath sheets are larger than standard bath towels and are designed to offer full-body coverage and exceptional comfort. In a 600 GSM construction, their thick weave provides warmth and high absorbency. These are suitable for those who value extra softness and size.
Towel Bale Sets
Towel bale sets offer a cost-effective solution. These sets typically include a combination of face cloths, hand towels, and bath towels, all matched in colour, texture, and quality. In 600 GSM weight, bale sets provide a complete package of luxury that suits everyday needs.
Hotel / Institutional Towels
Our 600 GSM hotel and institutional towels are designed for exactly this purpose. Made from high-grade cotton and reinforced with strong stitching, these towels stand up to industrial laundering without losing their softness or shape.
Material Quality – What Sets Our Towels Apart
The quality of any towel starts with its fabric. All our 600 GSM towels are double-stitched for durability and finished with a neat hem that resists unraveling. The colour-fast dyeing process ensures that your towels remain vibrant even after multiple washes, whether you choose classic white, warm neutrals, or bold colours.
100% Cotton
Most of our 600 GSM towels are crafted from 100% cotton, often in the form of Royal Egyptian-quality fibres. These long-staple fibres are known for their strength, softness, and breathability, making them ideal for high-quality towel production.
Combed Cotton
Some of our towels also feature combed cotton. This technique removes the shorter fibres from the yarn, leaving only the strongest and smoothest strands. Combed cotton towels are particularly well-suited for hospitality use due to their longer lifespan and consistent texture.
Care Instructions
600 GSM towels are dense and luxurious, requiring proper care to maintain their softness and absorbency. Follow these steps for long-lasting quality:
- Wash towels before first use to remove manufacturing residues.
- Use warm water and a mild detergent for regular washes.
- Avoid fabric softeners as they reduce absorbency.
- Tumble dry on low heat to preserve fibres and fluff.
- Do not bleach or iron the towels.
- Wash dark and light colours separately.
