Our first thought upon trying thisPottery Barn towelis that it was the softest towel wed ever wrapped ourselves in.

Its a plush pick thats highly absorbent and lightweight, but at 550 GSM, its not too thick.

Its also a quick-drying optionit completely dried after 60 minutes in the dryer.

The 100% Turkish cotton is exceptionally soft, making the towel perfectly fluffy.

And with 14 soothing colors, there are plenty of options to match nearly any decor.

The towel is a bit thinner than other options on the list.

The affordable bath sheet offers just as much absorbency and softness as more expensive options we tested.

During testing, we found the bath sheet both super absorbent and quick-drying when properly hung up.

Its available in a total of nine different neutral colors, which we really appreciate for the variety.

That isnt necessarily a bad thing (its still very absorbent and soft!

), but it doesnt offer that luxurious plushness that we associate with bath sheets.

At 800 GSM, its a heavier-weight towel that feels quite plush.

Seven soothing hues are available, all of which are machine washable.

However, with regular use and washing, the towel overall lost some of its softness.

This option isnt as oversized as other bath sheets we tested.

For this reason, its the best bath sheet we tested for those with sensitive skin.

This option isnt the most absorbent when compared to similar styles we tested.

Unfortunately, these towels were not the most absorbent during our tests compared to other options.
