The towel quality ranges from budget, standard, terry cotton, turkish, luxury spa, supersoft, Egyptian where the towels are extremely soft and feel luxurious against your skin. Egyptian towels are produced from the finest Egyptian cotton for woven and deeply looped towels. Dense stitching increases the durability and quality of cotton towels. Luxury cotton towels should be made of at least 600 grams of strong natural cotton and designed for everyday use.
