Bath Towel, Hand Towel or Bath Sheet? A Simple Size Guide

What each towel size is for, and how many of each a bathroom really needs.

Towel sizes can feel confusing until you know what each one is built to do. Here is a quick guide to the pieces in our Classic Oasis Collection.

Washcloths, 13 x 13 in

The small cloth that does the most work. Use it for the face, for kids at bath time, at the gym, or in the kitchen in place of paper towels.

Hand towels, 16 x 29 in

For the sink in the bathroom, the powder room or the kitchen. They dry hands quickly and are easy to swap out often.

Bath towels, 27 x 54 in

The everyday workhorse. A full-size bath towel is big enough to wrap around you and light enough to dry on the hook overnight.

Bath sheets, 35 x 70 in

An oversized towel for a longer, slower wrap after the shower. If you are tall, or just like to be fully covered, this is the one.

Bath mats, 21 x 34 in

The soft landing outside the tub. A mat catches drips and keeps the floor dry.

How many do you need?

A simple starting point for each person is two bath towels so one is always fresh, plus a few hand towels and washcloths to share. Our bundle builder lets you mix and match pieces and colours, and takes 10% off when you choose two or more items.
