What are the best towels?
When looking for a new towel set for your household, there are a number of important factors to consider. The purchase of new towels is often underestimated. And then there is nothing more annoying than having to dry yourself off after a lovely bath with bath towels that do not absorb moisture well enough or that your towels lose their colour after a few washes. After a busy day, taking a nice warm shower and drying yourself off with a thick , soft towel , how wonderful does that sound?
With our tips you will find exactly the towel that suits your needs! The quality of a towel is one of the most important aspects. Towels of good quality and with the right care will last for years. Often there is a certain price tag, but then you will not have to worry about your bath linen for years. Are you looking for a well-absorbent, soft material that is durable? Then choose 100% cotton bath linen. Cotton is almost always part of towels, but not always 100%. With that one hundred percent you ensure that you can dry yourself really well. And that your new towel does not lose its color after a few times in the washing machine (or dryer).

Tips for finding the right towel
- Size - Do you prefer a quick shower and a clean towel every day? Then a towel size of around 50x100 cm might be enough for you, so that more pieces can fit in the washing machine at the same time. If you prefer a total pampering experience with a bath and then wrap yourself in a large bath towel, then a bath towel of 70x140 cm is better.
- Design, luxury, aesthetics - How a towel looks is also very important. It gives your bathroom a cohesive look, if the pattern, colour and design fit well with your bathroom. That radiates peace, is aesthetic and every visit to your bathroom makes it pleasant. On the market today you can find all kinds of beautiful patterns and even more beautiful colours. Something for everyone. And at Handdoek .nl you will undoubtedly find what you are looking for.
- Thickness - We often associate the thickness of the towel with luxury and quality. And that is somewhat true. It is true that the closer the towel is woven, the thicker the towel is. If it is 100% cotton fiber, that means an extremely good absorption. But there are certainly also thin options in our webshop that have just as good quality. For example, hammam towels and foutas. 100% cotton towels known from the sauna world, but certainly also very popular in Dutch bathrooms.
- Material and environmental awareness - In these times it is certainly also important to make a sustainable and environmentally conscious choice. Think of recycled cotton, organic cotton or a bamboo fiber. Organically produced materials are often made with less or no harmful chemicals at all. That is why we are very happy with the Dutch brand WALRA with their Remade collection or also a Dutch brand Vandyck with their GOTS certificate ( Global Organic Textile Standard).
- Travel and sports - If you often do sports or are on the road with overnight stays, it is the right choice to choose lightweight towels. Such as hydrophilic or hammam towels . They do not take up much space, despite being thin, they absorb very well and they are dry again in no time and ready for the next use.
There are plenty of options at Handdoek.nl , it just depends on what you are looking for. Comfort, general well-being and durability together with the right price/quality ratio are our top priorities.
