Believe it or not, your bath towels touch your body more times than any piece of clothing that you would ever put on in your lifetime. Just based on that fact alone, I know for me, when it comes to purchasing my bath towels, I go first for feel, quality, and then price. Just as with bed linens, there are levels of quality that you look for when purchasing bath towels. And as luck would have it, while shopping for new bath towels in Dillard’s, I came across this great source of information on how to purchase bath towels.
Most towels are made of cotton, but the quality of cotton will determine the feel and look of the towels. There are five different types of cotton: Egyptian cotton, microcotton, Supima, rayon from bamboo, and Turkish cotton. Let’s break it down.
- Egyptian cotton is considered the king of cotton. Its characteristics are extra-long staples, and highly absorbent fibrous threads. It is grown along the fertile Nile River Valley
- Microcotton is the trademarked cotton from India. Its characteristics are high-quality, long-staple fiber with superior absorbency. Its soft and plush fibers, create a fluffy towel with suede-like texture.
- Supima is the trademarked superior version of prima cotton. It is grown exclusively in the U.S. by certified farmers.
- Rayon from bamboo is blended with cotton for extreme softness, superior absorbency and has a luxurious drying experience.
- Turkish cotton is a long-staple cotton that is grown exclusively in Turkey. It is considered premium cotton noted for its natural sheen and extra durability.

Thanks Tamela – you sent me to this article in response to my question on HomeTalk about where to find durable towels.
