You may be using the wrong size towel! Stay tuned to learn how to find your perfect size bath towel.
Have you ever wondered why towels come in so many different sizes? From small finger tip towels to giant bath sheets and everything in between? If you’re obsessed with luxury linen like we are, the answer is probably YES.
Today we’re taking a deep dive into towel sizes and giving you all the necessary intel to find your perfect size towel.
Shopping online is the norm, and it certainly is convenient. But good customer service is increasingly rare. That’s why our clients have counted on Fine Linen and Bath since 2004. With complimentary swatches, personalized product recommendations, and expert guidance, we deliver concierge service in an online environment.
We love helping individual clients understand and navigate their many options as they style a room. And when it comes to bath towels, the most frequent question we get, is “what size towel should I buy?”
Let’s look at the most popular standard towel sizes. These are just approximate, but you’ll find a version of each of these in most luxury towel collections.
Some luxury manufacturers offer additional sizes and types of towels that fall in between the standard sizing. Common examples of these are wash mitts, guest or fingertip towels, oversized hand towels, extra large bath mats, and European bath sheets
Let’s go through all of your options. Wash cloths are a standard offering and generally come in a 12 by 12 inch size. Some lines offer a bath mitt, which is essentially a washcloth fashioned as a wearable glove. These tend to be used for children’s bath time, but some adults are also fans.
In between a washcloth and hand towel, some luxury bath lines offer what is known as a fingertip towel, or guest towel.These serve the same purpose and the terms can be used interchangeably. Fingertip or guest towels are sized around 12 by 20 inches. They’re great for round or half-round hooks. These hooks can be installed over a vanity top and require less clearance space than hand towels.
Next up are hand towels which are around 12 by 30 inches in size. Some manufacturers offer one or even two sizes or larger hand towels. Some people use these towels for their hair because they’re less bulky than a regular towel. Larger sized hand towels are also good to use as a child’s bath towel.
When it comes to bath towels and bath sheets there are plenty of options. The standard bath towel is 28 by 54 inches. Bath sheet sizes will vary quite a bit from one brand to another. Some manufacturers even offer two different sizes: a standard large bath sheet and a slightly smaller “Euro” bath sheet. Choosing whether to use a bath sheet and in which size really comes down to personal preference. Some of our clients find bath sheets too big and bulky. For others, these oversized towels are the very definition of luxury. Keep in mind that bath sheets require more space when washing. Just a couple of these large towels can fill up a machine.
So what’s the perfect bath towel? There’s no one simple answer. We want you to be absolutely thrilled with the towels you buy from Fine Linen and Bath. That’s why we’ll ask you a series of very specific questions. Along with your towel size preferences, we inquire about other essential opinions like towel weight, feel, color preferences, and price range.
At that point, we’ll have a strong idea of which towel manufacturers and styles to recommend. We’ll even send you complementary swatch samples to help you narrow your choices and find the perfect towel for YOU. That’s what we mean by concierge level service.
