Correct Towel Selection: 7 Essential Tips You Need to Know

Choosing the right towel can dramatically improve your everyday comfort.

When it comes to enhancing your bathroom experience, selecting a high-quality towel matters more than you think. The right towel should feel soft, absorb moisture quickly, and maintain its structure after every wash. At Salbakos, we craft our towels with 100% premium Turkish cotton, offering luxurious softness and exceptional durability.

Below are 7 essential tips to help you choose the perfect towels for your home — along with helpful product suggestions you can explore on salbakos.com.


1. Choose High-Quality Cotton

The foundation of a premium towel is the cotton quality.
For superior softness and durability, look for:

- Turkish Cotton

- Long-Staple Cotton

- Combed or Ring-Spun Cotton

These fibers create fluffier, stronger, and more absorbent towels.

2. Consider the GSM (Weight) of the Towel

GSM (grams per square meter) defines the weight and density of a towel.

- 300–400 GSM: Lightweight, fast-drying

- 500–600 GSM: Soft, absorbent, ideal for everyday use

- 700+ GSM: Ultra-luxury spa-quality towels

At Salbakos, many of our towels are crafted in hotel & spa-quality GSM ranges, giving you the perfect balance of coziness and performance.

3. Look at the Weave Type

The weave impacts texture, absorbency, and longevity.

Common high-quality weave types include:

- Terry Weave: Thick loops, maximum absorbency

- Ring-Spun Cotton: Smooth, durable fiber

- Zero-Twist Cotton: Airy, ultra-soft feel

Salbakos towels are woven to maintain softness and structure, even after repeated washing.


4. Check Absorbency Levels

A great towel should absorb water quickly without feeling overly heavy.

High-absorbency towels typically:

- Become softer after the first wash

- Absorb moisture instantly

- Dry quickly without retaining odors

Salbakos towels are known for their fast-drying, highly absorbent structure thanks to premium Turkish cotton.


5. Choose the Right Towel Size

Different towel sizes offer different comfort levels.

Popular Towel Sizes:

- Bath Towel: Standard everyday option

- Bath Sheet: Extra-large for full coverage and luxury

- Hand Towel: Perfect for bathrooms and kitchens

- Washcloth: Gentle for face and body

- Bath Mat: Adds safety and absorbs bathroom moisture

Neutral tones—like many found in our collection—bring a clean spa-like feel to your home.


7. Focus on Durability and Care Instructions

Long-lasting towels should withstand frequent use and washing.

To keep towels in top condition:

- Wash at 40°C

- Avoid heavy fabric softeners

- Use low heat in the dryer

Salbakos towels are built to maintain softness and durability for years.
