Bath Towels

Our bath towel collection runs from weighty 700gsm Egyptian cotton bath sheets to quick-drying organic Turkish cottons and fine-loop guest towels. Each set is chosen for the weave density, absorbency and how the feel softens with washes rather than breaking down, so the towel gets better over its first year, not worse.

    Grams per square metre measures the weight and density of the towel fabric. Lightweight towels of 300 to 400gsm dry quickly and suit gyms and guest bathrooms, while hotel-weight towels of 600 to 800gsm give the plush, enveloping feel most people associate with luxury but take longer to dry on the rail.

    A towel in daily use is best washed every three to four uses, or weekly, so bacteria doesn't build up in the loops. Hang towels fully spread after each shower rather than folded, and they'll dry completely between uses and stretch further between washes without losing freshness.

    Egyptian cotton has longer fibres and produces the softest, most absorbent towels at the luxury end, with fibre length giving strength that holds up over years of washing. Turkish cotton's flatter weave dries faster and feels less weighty, making it the better choice for warmer bathrooms and shorter drying rails.

    Wash white towels separately from coloured linens at 40 to 60 degrees with a non-bleach detergent, and avoid fabric softener, which coats the loops and reduces absorbency over time. A monthly white-wash with a cup of white vinegar in place of softener refreshes the fibres and keeps the pile from matting.

      Create A Home Spa This International Bath Day
      Celebrate in your own way this International Bath Day with your favourite scents, soaps and accessories. With help from buyer Emily Dunstan, we’ve compiled some of our favourite ways to transform your bathroom into a home spa. Create the perfect home spa As spas and salons are still closed, it’s more important than ever to transform your bathroom into a home spa. If your bathroom is in need of a bit of TLC, make some small additions to enhance the space. We recommend items like a bath bridge or new shelving unit. These are ideal for arranging your favourite toiletries, candles and perfumes on. “I’d start with a bath bridge which is perfect for layering on both your decorative and practical pieces.” Emily Dunstan, Heal’s Buyer That’s the scent A unique feature of spas and beauty salons is the beautiful smells you encounter. To create your home spa, we recommend finding a relaxing fragrance. This can be a candle, reed diffuser or essential oil. Use these aromas to create a home spa ambience at very little cost. Pus, the flickering of candles will make your bathroom feel even more spa-like. “For the at-home spa experience I’d recommend our Elm Rd Relax and Reset. Each candle also comes with a complimentary essential oil. Add 2 or 3 drops of these into your bath for extra indulgence.” Emily Dunstan, Heal’s Buyer Stylish storage Part of the beauty of visiting a spa is that everything is so calm and tidy you can’t help but unwind. We believe proper storage is essential for this. By adding some simple baskets to your bathroom, you’ll wave goodbye to clutter and say hello to your home spa. These are particularly useful when tidying away children toys or surplus shampoos. “These Vitra toolboxes are great for storing your beauty products whilst also looking stylish.” Emily Dunstan, Heal’s Buyer Time for new towels There’s nothing quite like stepping out of a relaxing bath and being enveloped in a luxuriously soft towel. Invest in some premium towels that you use especially when you’re treating yourself to a spa day. This will make your bath feel extra special and differentiate it from everyday bathing. “Our waffle collection would make a charming, sophisticated addition when creating your own spa sanctuary at home.” Emily Dunstan, Heal’s Buyer Why do we celebrate International Bath Day? On the 14th June every year, bath lovers across the world come together to celebrate International Bath Day. Originally, International Bath Day was created to celebrate the Greek Scientist and Mathematician Archimedes. It’s said that the day marks the anniversary of Archimedes’ discovery that an object’s volume can be determined by immersing it in water. He discovered this whilst bathing and as such the day has gradually become known as International Bath Day. Find everything needed to create a home spa here.
