What Makes the Best Towels in the UK

Choosing the best towel isn’t only about appearance, it’s also about performance, fabric quality, and how it feels against the skin.

A towel’s density, measured in GSM (grams per square metre), defines its thickness and absorbency. Hampton and Astley towels are crafted at 650GSM, giving them the plush, velvety softness of designer hotel towels - perfect for those who value comfort as much as style.

Woven with tightly packed premium fibres, these also towels provide superior absorbency, drying you quickly and comfortably after every bath or shower. 

Why Egyptian Cotton Towels Are the Standard of Luxury

The world’s most coveted towels are made from 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton - and for good reason:

  • Naturally silky fibres that feel soft and smooth against the skin

  • Exceptional absorbency for a truly spa-like experience

  • Durable weave designed to age beautifully, maintaining quality over time

Hampton and Astley's pure Egyptian cotton towels are crafted to combine beauty and performance, making them a favourite among luxury bathroom enthusiasts and interior stylists alike. They are engineered to retain their shape, colour, and softness wash after wash, with minimal linting and no shrinkage, giving you enduring quality you can feel and see.
