While a towel may have one job-to get you dry-too many fall short. They slip, they cling, they leave you half-damp, and if you're taller, they barely make it to the top of your thigh. This is where bath sheets enter, stage left: larger by generous inches, softer in all the right ways, and capable of wrapping the whole body without awkward gaps.
"I'm taking a shower just to use this towel," says commerce writer Julia Harrison. "These are what towels always say they are but never quite live up to: soft, absorbent, and-most importantly-they can withstand the high heat of New York laundromats and still come out as cuddly as ever." Senior commerce editor Nashia Baker can also attest: "The biggest perk is how much softer the towels have gotten after washes."
