I recently had an excellent few days away in a smart hotel - and amongst the manifold pleasures were the lovely fluffy towels - which managed the good trick of feeling soft and cuddly, but also being properly absorbent - so often the two seem incompatible.
My towels at home now feel a bit 'thin and scratchy' by comparison - which is odd because this time last month they felt fine :+(
I'm going to buy some new ones, but am so far out of my comfort zone on the 'towel buying expertise' front that it is barely visible with a telescope.
I'm assuming 100% cotton - but beyond that I'm at a loss - is there any fancy stuff like 'thread count' or 'fluffy quotient' to look for?
So - any handy tips and recommendations for good brands/retailers please?
I also echo John Lewis and Debenhams, though I also got some lovely ones from Next last year too.
You could have just pinched them from the hotel though( joking!)
Poppycock!.....As you were shouting and swearing at the rain I was getting my towels beautifully dry and fluffy in the tumble dryer.....
You wash your towels....bring half down the hill and I'll convince you to be sensible and buy a tumble dryer...... :-)
