🏖️ Best Beach Towels Guide 2025: How to Choose the Right One
Expert Advice from Bentley Priory Linens
Looking for the best beach towel? Whether you’re heading to the coast, a pool, or a summer holiday abroad, choosing the right towel makes a big difference. At Bentley Priory Linens, we supply 100% cotton beach towels from Restmor — a trusted UK brand — direct from the supplier to keep prices low and quality high.
In this guide, we’ll answer the most searched beach towel questions and help you make the perfect choice.
❓What is the best type of beach towel?
The best beach towel is made from 100% cotton. Cotton is soft, absorbent, breathable, and naturally durable. It’s the most popular towel material for a reason.
At Bentley Priory Linens, our Restmor beach towels are made with:
- 100% cotton
- 440 GSM fabric for comfort and longevity
- Double-sided design: soft velour front + absorbent terry towel back
❓What is the best material for a beach towel?
100% natural cotton is the best beach towel material. It absorbs water quickly, feels soft on the skin, and holds up over time.
Avoid synthetic blends — they don’t absorb as well and can feel scratchy. Our towels are crafted entirely from high-grade cotton and designed to last.
❓What size beach towel is best?
A beach towel should be large enough to lie on and wrap around you.
The ideal size is around 80–85cm wide and 160cm long.
Our Restmor towels measure 82cm x 162cm — perfect for sunbathing, lounging, or drying off in comfort.
❓Should beach towels be thick or thin?
Thicker beach towels are better for durability and comfort.
- Thick towels (like ours at 440 GSM) are soft, long-lasting, and luxurious
- Thin towels may dry faster but often wear out sooner
Our 440 GSM towels offer the perfect balance — plush without being bulky.
❓Why do beach towels have two sides?
High-quality beach towels have a velour side and a terry towel side.
- Velour front: soft, smooth, and ideal for lying on
- Terry reverse: absorbent loops for fast drying
This double-sided design ensures your towel dries quickly, stays lightweight, and looks vibrant.
❓How can you tell if a beach towel is good quality?
Look for these signs of a quality towel:
- ✅ 100% cotton fabric
- ✅ High GSM (400+)
- ✅ Neat stitching and reinforced edges
- ✅ Colorfast dyes and vibrant patterns
- ✅ Double-sided finish (velour/terry)
