Towels

Adairs towels are OEKO-TEX certified and woven from Egyptian cotton, Turkish cotton or a cotton-bamboo blend, each suited to a different balance of softness, absorbency and dry time. Egyptian cotton uses a low-twist yarn for exceptional softness and absorbency, Turkish cotton adds a textured weave for a more casual look, and bamboo cotton blends add natural antibacterial properties. Choose a bath sheet if you want full-body coverage, or a standard bath towel for everyday drying. Ranges run from face washers through to oversized beach towels.

How to choose the right towels?

Bath Towels

Perhaps the most important towel in your home, your bath towels can make or break your bathing experience. The first thing to consider is how large you like your towels; classic E towels are great for a daily dry-off, while some prefer the luxury of a bath sheet. A bath sheet is a lot larger than Sheridan towels and will allow you to comfortably wrap up your whole body (great for winter!). Alternatively, add some colour to your bathroom with beautiful Turkish towels, woven with chic patterns. We love to match Turkish towels to your robes and bathroom accessories for a cohesive look. If you’re searching for a classic towel, a good towel set makes it easy. Add on some hair towels to complete your collection!

Hand Towels

Hand towels are where form meets function. Perfect for bathrooms and powder rooms, every home needs a few of these essentials. We love hand towels in modern shades—white, blue, grey, or black—to give your bathroom a contemporary touch. Complement your colourful bath sheets or towels with hand towels that continue your chosen theme. For everyday practicality, opt for thick, absorbent materials.

Face Washers

Complete your bathroom essentials with soft face washers. Perfect for gentle cleansing, our range is crafted from high-quality cotton and bamboo blends that are kind to your skin. Add them to your towel set for a fully coordinated look.

Tea Towels

Add a dash of colour to your kitchen with a stylish tea towel. The heart of your home should be fun and funky, so why not go for one of our artist collaborations or bold styles? Our kitchen towels are soft and lightweight, ensuring they absorb quickly without scratching your pots and pans.

Gym & Beach Towels

Whether you’re heading out into the sun or working up a sweat, we have the perfect towels for your day. Our gym towels are compact and crafted from ultra-absorbent materials to handle any workout. Keep them smelling fresh with our Aroma Wash range of laundry care. For sunny days at the beach or pool, our beach towels are large, vibrant, and perfect for lounging or drying off after a swim. With bold colours and standout designs, you’ll easily spot yours on the sand.

Best Towels Material

Best for daily plush comfort: Egyptian cotton.

The low-twist yarn in ranges like Flinders makes for a towel that's soft against the skin and highly absorbent, ideal as your everyday bath towel or bath sheet.

Best for a textured, casual look: Turkish cotton.

European Turkish cotton ranges bring a woven pattern and a slightly more relaxed hand-feel, and pair well with a matching robe or bath mat.

Best for antibacterial freshness: bamboo cotton blend.

The cotton-bamboo blend resists odour-causing bacteria between washes, a practical choice for face washers or towels used daily.

Best for gym and travel: lightweight, quick-dry towels.

A thinner towel packs smaller and dries faster between uses, which matters more for a gym bag or a beach trip than for a bathroom shelf.

Towel Fibre Comparison

Towels FAQs

What's the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?

A bath sheet is significantly larger than a standard bath towel, big enough to wrap around your whole body rather than just dry off with. Choose a bath sheet if you want more coverage or prefer a towel to double as a wrap after showering.

What does OEKO-TEX certified mean?

It means the towel has been independently tested for harmful substances and is safe against skin. It's a certification about chemical safety, not a measure of softness or absorbency, so it's worth checking fibre and weight separately for those.

Are bamboo towels better than cotton?

Not better across the board, just different. Bamboo cotton blends add natural antibacterial properties and a slightly cooler feel, while pure Egyptian or Turkish cotton tends to be more absorbent and plush. The right choice depends on whether freshness between washes or absorbency matters more to you.

How do I stop my towels feeling scratchy after washing?

Avoid fabric softener, it coats the fibres and reduces absorbency over time, which paradoxically makes towels feel rougher. Wash in warm water, use a moderate amount of detergent, and tumble dry on low rather than over-drying.

What's the difference between Egyptian cotton and Turkish cotton towels?

Egyptian cotton is spun into a low-twist yarn that maximises softness and absorbency. Turkish cotton is woven with a more visible, textured pattern, giving a slightly more casual look. Both are long-staple cottons; the difference is more about weave and finish than raw fibre quality.
