The Best Towels On Amazon

Made from 100% cotton with a density of 600 GSM, these stylish towels are soft and absorbent — and you get six in each set: two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths. They’re available in a variety of chic colors, including neutrals such as flax (pictured here) and silver, bright aqua, and more. And if you don’t need a full set of six, you can opt for a four-piece bath towel set instead.

Buyer review: “I really love the design on these towels. I wanted something with a little more visual interest and these hit the spot. I originally ordered one set in the gray color for my master bath, and I’ve subsequently replaced all the bath towels in my home with these, in the gray and dusty blue colors. They are very soft and absorbent.”

These cotton bath towels are one of Amazon’s best sellers, boasting more than 13,000 five-star reviews. The set featured above includes four towels, each measuring 27 by 54 inches — though you can also choose from 13 by 13-inch and 35 by 70-inch sizes. Plus, there are 11 color options ranging from classic white to vibrant coral and more, so there’s sure to be a set that matches your bathroom decor.

Buyer review: “The towels are so soft! My old towels had seen their better days so when I saw the price of these I had to try them. I was blown away by how soft they are! [...] Overall with the price and the quality I am very pleased with this purchase and I will definitely be purchasing again.”

Brooklinen is known for its comfy sheets, but the cult-favorite brand also makes soft, plush towels that Kate Miller, an Elite Daily editor, loves. “This towel is so thick and plush — a total must for those cold-weather days,” says Miller. “I like a lighter Turkish towel in the summer but as soon as the temperatures start to drop, this becomes my go-to. And it's held up to washings really well.” Sold in a set of two, the towels come in four sizes and two colors: navy blue and white.

Buyer review: “Plush, soft, wash and dry beautifully, incredibly expensive, but such an indulgent towel!!”

This four-piece bath towel set is well-loved by Amy Biggart, an Elite Daily editor, who says: “I've used these towels for three years, and they are super absorbent and durable, even after countless trips through the washing machine and more uses than I can count. They feel nearly as fluffy as they were the day I bought them, years later, and they are a generous size for a bath towel." Choose from seven colors, including sage green, electric blue, and classic white.

Buyer review: “Bought a set back in May, it is now November and they are just as soft, fluffy, and bright as when they arrived. I wash weekly with bleach and they are holding up great. These are everyone's favorite towels in this household. Would make a great gift.”

Not only have these lightweight, 100% cotton towels earned raves from Elite Daily editors, but they’re also backed by a 4.6-star overall rating after more than 3,000 Amazon shoppers weighed in. “I bought a couple of these towels in 2018, and they're still going strong,” says editor Wesley Salazar. “They are absolute must-haves for small-space living. Not only does their lightweight design make them more compact for storage, but it also makes them super quick-drying — which means they stave off odors longer than fluffier towels, and you can sneak in a couple more uses before rushing off to the laundromat. Plus, they're great for trips to the beach or travel.”

They’re also well-loved by editor Chelsey Conroy, who says: “I have several of these towels and I often give them as gifts. They come in several beautiful colors and get softer with every wash, but my favorite thing about them is their large size — they’re 37 by 70 inches compared to a standard towel with is 30 by 38 inches. I tie mine around my neck like a sarong and it makes a great summer alternative to a bathrobe.”

Choose from over 30 colors, including yellow, orange, and white.

Buyer review: “We use these everyday. We've had ours for over seven years and they've held up really well. The more you launder them the softer and more absorbent they become. They hang dry significantly faster than the typical thick towel. They're generous in size, but because they're thin they require little space in the cubbard, washer and dryer. Also, they're ideal for traveling and camping. They come in different sizes (even hand towels) and many colors and I think they're beautiful.”

This single bath sheet is made of luxe, 100% Turkish cotton, and it measures 40 by 80 inches.

While $40 might seem like a steep price for a single towel, fans are quick to say that this is one of the best towels they've ever used. Over 2,600 Amazon reviewers have weighed in and given this bath sheet an impressive 4.6-star rating on Amazon. Bonus: It has double-lock-stitched hems for more durability, and is dyed in a vat to ensure the color of your towels remains vibrant for years to come.

Buyer review: “Sooooo soft and absorbent! These are hands down the best towels I have ever owned.
