Bath Sheets
A bath sheet is an oversized bath towel. Most bath sheets here measure 34 x 68 inches, against 30 x 54 inches for a standard bath towel, so one wraps fully around the body. Most are sold in pairs, in Egyptian, Turkish and zero-twist cotton, textured cotton and rayon from bamboo. Because a bath sheet is bigger, the fibre matters more: heavier ones take longer to dry.
- Egyptian cotton bath sheets (Madeline, Kendell) — the heaviest, plushest option — Buy for maximum absorbency and a heavy wrap.
- Turkish cotton bath sheets — long-staple cotton in a lighter weave — Buy for faster drying on the rail.
- Zero-twist cotton (Smart Dry, Chevron, Sadie, Brea) — soft, light and quick-drying — Buy for a big towel that doesn't stay damp.
- Ribbed, jacquard and viscose blends — textured and lighter — Buy for a patterned bathroom.

How to Choose a Bath Sheet
Bath sheet or bath towel? A bath sheet suits you if you are tall or like to wrap up fully. If rail space is tight, a standard bath towel is easier to live with.
Pick a weight you can dry. A 34 x 68 inch towel in heavy Egyptian cotton holds a lot of water and dries slowly in a small, humid bathroom. Zero-twist and Turkish cotton bath sheets are lighter and dry faster.
Match the rest of the room. Most lines here also come as bath towels and hand towels in the same colours, so a bath sheet can join a set you already own.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a bath sheet and a bath towel?
Size. A Superior bath sheet is 34 x 68 inches and a standard bath towel is 30 x 54 inches, so a bath sheet wraps fully around the body.
How big is a bath sheet?
Most measure 34 x 68 inches. Check the product page for the exact size of the set you are buying.
Do bath sheets take longer to dry?
A larger towel holds more water, so heavy Egyptian cotton bath sheets dry more slowly. Zero-twist and Turkish cotton bath sheets are lighter and dry faster.
Are bath sheets sold individually?
Most bath sheets in this collection are sold as sets of two.
How do I keep bath sheets absorbent?
Wash before first use, skip fabric softener, avoid overloading the machine, and dry them completely.
