Bath Towels

Premium Bath Towels UK – Wholesale Towels in Cotton, Bamboo, and Luxury Blends

Bath towels are the everyday essentials that define comfort and absorbency in bathrooms, hotels, spas, gyms, and homeware stores. At Absolute Home Textiles, our comprehensive range of bath towels is designed for both commercial and personal use. With GSM options from 400 to 700+, and materials including Egyptian collection, zero-twist cotton, Bamboo blends, organic cotton, and more, our collection offers premium softness, quick drying, and long-term durability.

Material Types: Which Fabric Suits Your Need?

The type and quality of fibres directly influence towel feel, durability, and hygiene. Here are the most common options available in our collection:

1. 100% Cotton – Standard & Combed

Classic cotton is breathable, absorbent, and soft. Combed cotton, where fibres are pre‑aligned and short strands removed, results in improved softness and less pilling. Suitable for home use, care homes, and budget hotels.

2. Egyptian or Turkish Long Staple Cotton

Long staple cotton yields stronger, smoother yarn. Egyptian or Turkish cotton towels are ultra-soft, highly absorbent, and durable—favoured by premium hotels and spa users.

3. Ring-Spun Cotton

Ring-spun cotton is created by twisting long and short fibres, producing denser, stronger yarn and a plush finish that improves with wash cycles. Great for commercial use.

4. Zero Twist Cotton

Zero twist towels use minimal or no twisting in the pile loops. This produces a lightweight yet super-soft and absorbent feel, ideal for sensitive skin and luxury use. They may shed slightly more and dry a bit slower than ring‑spun but offer unmatched plushness during use.

5. Bamboo or Bamboo-Cotton Blends

These blends combine absorbency and softness with bamboo’s natural antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties. They’re eco‑friendly and feel silky smooth—great for wellness and spa environments.

6. Organic Cotton

Our 100 % organic cotton towels are GOTS‑certified. They contain no harsh chemicals, making them ideal for eco-conscious retailers, spas, and baby‑care use.

Each material brings a unique combination of softness, absorbency, and durability to meet different business and consumer needs.

Choosing the Right Bath Towel for Your Setting

Selecting the right bath towel depends on where and how it will be used. At Absolute Home Textiles, we understand that every setting demands different towel qualities.

For Hotels & Guest Houses: Guests expect soft, absorbent towels that feel fresh and inviting. Our recommended towels are 500–600 GSM ring-spun or Egyptian collection.

For Spas & Wellness Centres: Clients look for a luxurious, pampering experience. Towels should be thick, plush, and skin-friendly. Our 600–700 GSM zero-twist or bamboo-cotton blends are suitable for spas.

For Homes & Personal Use: Home users want a balance between comfort, drying speed, and affordability. 450–550 GSM in combed cotton or bamboo blends are quick to dry and gentle on the skin.

For Care Homes & Healthcare: Hygiene and durability are top priorities. Towels must handle frequent industrial washing. Recommended option is 400–500 GSM open-end or ring-spun cotton.

For Gyms & Sports Facilities: Fast-drying, lightweight towels are essential for high turnover and frequent use. 400 GSM cotton or cotton-rich blends are quick drying and require low-maintenance.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Avoid fabric softeners—they reduce absorbency over time.
• Tumble dry on low or air-dry to maintain softness and shape.
• Pre-wash new towels separately to reduce shedding (especially zero twist).
• Replace towels every 2–5 years depending on usage and care.

FAQs – Bath Towels

Q1. What is GSM and why does it matter in bath towels?

GSM (grams per square metre) is a standard measure of towel thickness. Higher GSM (500–700+) means denser, more absorbent towels. Lower GSM (300–400) offers lighter weight and faster drying.

Q2. Which material is best for bath towels?

Egyptian or Turkish cotton offers softness and durability. Zero twist cotton provides a premium plush feel. Bamboo blends are hypoallergenic. Choose based on your towel’s intended use and budget.

Q3. What GSM should I choose for hotels?

Hotels often choose 500–600 GSM towels in Egyptian or ring‑spun cotton for durability and guest comfort. Spas may opt for 600–700 GSM zero twist or bamboo blends.

Q4. How do zero twist towels compare to ring-spun towels?

 Zero twist towels are supremely soft and plush, but slightly more delicate and slower to dry. Ring-spun towels offer superior durability and moisture control, ideal for gyms and frequent use.

Q5. Are your towels suitable for commercial use?

Absolutely. We supply institutions such as hotels, gyms, care homes, and salons with durable towels designed for frequent washing.

Q6. What are care instructions for bath towels?

Wash with mild detergent at 40–60 °C, avoid fabric softeners, tumble dry low or air‑dry, and wash towels separately especially for zero twist types.
