The White Company when in the sale. Not cheap even then but last for years , fluff up and really absorb moisture.

My husband has very sensitive skin and was complaining about our towels.
After using a quantity of towels to mop up a bit of a flood from a burst pipe, I got my daughter to launder them and they came back super soft from her tumble dryer.
We don’t have a tumble dryer and I have no intention of getting one, so I bought some bamboo towels. They are the softest ever and he loves them. One lot came from Allure, another lot from Thetowelshop. Not the cheapest, but I got a bundle of 6 items: 2 facecloths, 2 hand towels and 2 bath sheets for £45. I can recommend them. The one from Allure was about £18 I think.

I have found the towels in Primark to be great value for money. I'm referring to the dearer towels that they sell which are still quite cheap. They are very thick and last well. I bought white bath towels for my new grand-daughter 8 years ago and they are still going strong. I had bought some previous to that I still use.
I second going to look in TK Max, they also sell very good quality towels at a reasonable price.

I got some really nice ones recently at Next Home.
I also like Sainsbury's and IKEA.

The majority of our towels are John Lewis own brand and we have got some from Sainsbury’s which are equally as good.

White Company towels are luxurious, and they are mine, all mine ??

I'm a fan of fluffy BTW but not too thick.
Ideas welcome!

Christy is now an Indian company. I think they are manufactured in Gujarat now.

My daughters have M&S, Dunelm, Sainsbury's and Ikea. They are all ok but nothing special.
I'd like to know where to buy some lovely towels too

Dunelm, every time. I’ve had mine getting on for 12 years now, and they are still thick and fluffy.

The last lot I bought from Dunelm are lovely, thick and have washed well, although the colour did come out a bit.

Do you have a TKMaxx near you. They often do hotel quality towels

Dunelm and M+S are both nice and wear well.

One of the best ones I have is from Sainsburys, 80/20% cotton modal. Dries very quickly and stays soft.

I have a few old Christy hand towels which I keep meaning to throw out because they are old and scratchy but just keep them on the back of the kitchen door. M and S bath towels and sheets also stay soft and dry quickly on a blowy day.

Another vote for dunelm towels

kittylester Sat 29-May-21 10:58:59

I think I might have bought Christy at Dunelm.

I have found Sainsbury's very good.

The White House Towels are lovely Shandy, but l think expensive.
My personal choice is Dunelm. Great quality & they launder well.
I shall be interested to read other recommendations.

MawBe Sat 29-May-21 10:53:15

M&S, John Lewis, Waitrose, Sainsbury - and not such eye watering prices as Christy!

Morning everyone, I've got friends coming to stay later in the year and having looked at my towels, they are a bit like Gwen's out of Gavin and Stacey!

I've always bought Christy in the past, has anyone found another brand that washes well? I haven't got a tumble drier now and will have to line dry them.
