sheryl Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) What brand can you recommend? ALL cotton Big-sized (not skimpy) NOT the largest "resort towel" size but we have one that covers half our body lol Thick Ultra soft and absorbent Nice colors :) I know these aren't brands, but what's your experience between Bed Bath and Beyond and Department Store?

retiredHSmom Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Until nice colors I would have said Costco. Their towels are fabulous but the color selection is limited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 OK, that's ok. We need so many. I haven't bought in years - and I mean YEARS - LOL! Our current towels, b/c they are so old are rough. Like cardboard! Why did I wait so long! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Believe it or not, WalMart has a decent set. They seemed a little non-absorbent at first, but after a year, they've gotten nicely absorbent and are still soft. Maybe Better Homes and Garden brand? I picked them because they were the only yellow and green that looked good with the blue in my new bathroom, but they're nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) We personally like the towels from Macy's. I think we have the Hotel brand and combine coupons with sales since they're pricey. Edited September 23, 2017 by Artichoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I love towels from Lands End. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartlikealion Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I have some of the plush Better Gardens ones from WM. I even got a couple of the oversized ones for dh but they are all pretty big. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Thick-and-Plush-Jacquard-Bath-Towel-Collection/41159664 I got a couple colors and one is solid. Bought when my store marked them down to $4. Love them. We have a similar one but it is not from the same line I think. Not plush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 We have Lands End bath sheets. They are soft and absorbent. Their bath sheets are larger than most other manufacturer's bath sheets: 36 inches by 70 inches. https://www.landsend.com/products/supima-bath-towels/id_225485?sku_0=::A7J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalmia Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Here is another Lands End bath sheet offering that I haven't tried, but it mentions their softness. https://www.landsend.com/products/hydrocotton-bath-towels/id_289912_351 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The Costco ones are the best I've found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slackermom Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I tend to do a lot of my shopping at Target. I recently bought a few new fluffy "Threshold" towels there that I am happy with so far. At $9.99 for a bath sheet, these are an affordable way to get a towel that covers everything that needs covering. I picked a different shade of blue for each person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 costco's towels. don't use fabric softener with towels - it reduces absorbancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I also use Costco towels. TJ Maxx or marshalls is great for towels too. Department store brands. I like to buy all white towels so the don't bleed or get bled on, are easy to bleach if they smell or someone leaves it on the floor and walks on it. And you can buy whatever nice towels are on sale to rotate in without worrying about the colors working together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Thanks, all! I like all of these ideas. I just like fluffy towels and over-sized ones. Years ago my Dad bought towels from Sam's Club and they were quite good. I'll check in to Costco, Lands End. Walmart, Macy's and Target. To be honest, for the price and quality, I bet Costco will come in ahead. But, will consider all. Maybe I'll should buy a set from a few places to compare. :) Barb, that's creative! I do like color and will probably buy color but definitely see buying a "bright" white to use especially in the summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Costco bath sheets are great. I like their Champagne color. It's not as stark as white, but still light and clean-looking. More cheerful than cream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I have the big ones from Restoration Hardware, but they are $$$$$$. I have had them over a decade, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Also, my JCPenney towels that we got for our wedding eighteen years ago are still in good shape, maybe just fraying a tiny bit at the edges. They just didn't have the right shades for our new bathroom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionJack Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I was going to say the same! We've had a bunch for nearly 10 years. They are really soft, thick, and they last a long time. They're definitely an investment, though. I bought some Costco towels for a guest bathroom and they're great but pretty thin in comparison and aren't lasting as long. I have the big ones from Restoration Hardware, but they are $$$$$$. I have had them over a decade, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted September 24, 2017 Author Share Posted September 24, 2017 Plum Crazy, Yes! Fieldcrest is a good brand (or was). I'll check in to those at Target. Hmm, Restoration Hardware sounds great. Are they big and chunky? Oh who am I kidding - probably out of my price range. LOL! Another vote for Costco. Happypamama, your towels are 18 years old? That's impressive. They've held up? Mine are a little newer and rough as all get out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceseeker Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The ones from Pottery Barn have worked great for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are a little newer and rough as all get out! Yep, 18 years and have held up! Very soft. Just a tiny bit of fraying around the edges but still good. They haven't been our primary towels for about a decade, though, so they don't get used super often, but we can grab one and know it has no holes. Not relegated to rag status yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Costco towels were recently on sale and they don't have all the colors in stock in my store since then. Yesterday I ordered the bath sheets online. They have more color options online. There was a dollar shipping for two bath sheets, butmthe price was the same as in store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Ok, then, the bath "sheets" are the SUPER LARGE bath towels, right? The "towels" are the regular bath towels size? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth86 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Lol i was happy to buy 3 new towels at walmart. It just dawned on us that our bath towels were 11 years old. How bad is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) Wow, I went to our local RH store today. I'm willing to spend a little money (not a lot) and checked RH online but there is a membership fee of $100.00. What a bummer! if you're a member, it's actually not a bad price. Back to the drawing board. After looking at the size today, I'd be buying bath "towel" size (not sheets).

sheryl Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Yes, Monique, it's on their website. ??? Pay $100 annual membership fee to get the "lesser cost" member price. Did I not read this right? LMk if I'm mistaken. Ouch to the towel budget. You and the other PPs are right....they are gorgeous quality towels.
