Quick Towel Answers

What is Turkish cotton?

Turkish cotton is cotton grown in Türkiye and widely used in towels and bath textiles. A towel’s performance also depends on yarn construction, weave, pile, finishing and GSM, so material should be considered together with the full product specification.

What does GSM mean in towels?

GSM means grams per square meter. It describes fabric weight per unit area. Lower GSM towels generally feel lighter, while higher GSM towels generally feel more substantial. GSM is useful for comparison, but it is not a complete quality score.

Is 630 GSM good for bath towels?

630 GSM sits in a plush, substantial towel range. SALBAKOS uses 630 GSM in its Cambridge hero towel products and Jumbo Bath Sheet.

What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
