SALBAKOS 100% Turkish Cotton Hand Towel Set of 6 16x30 inch | Heirloom Quality | Hotel & Spa Collection | Ultra Soft, Super Absorbent, Long Lasting Hand Towels | Made in Turkey (Aqua, 6 Hand Towels)

Very nice hand towels! They wash well and hold their color. Very lush!

While replacing all of our bath towels in Oct., 2015, five brands of towels, all highly rated on Amazon were purchased. Not being able to see or feel the towels firsthand was problematic-others’ reviews played a big part in the choices made. “Thick and luxurious” is an individual viewpoint. Overall, all five brands fit this description. All are soft, reasonably thick, and absorbent. All were initially washed in the same way: Step 1, Warm water with one cup of vinegar, nothing else, no drying them yet; Step 2, Warm water using half the normal amount of soap, one fourth cup vinegar in the softener dispenser, and an extra rinse. They were dried on low heat in 15 minute increments, cleaning out the lint trap every 15 minutes until dry. New towels lint--period, just like most leaves on trees eventually fall off the tree. Address it on the first few dryings, much less lint later!; Step 3, Final wash of warm water, half the normal amount of soap, one fourth cup vinegar in the softener dispenser, and an extra rinse. They were dried on low heat in 20 minute increments, cleaning out the lint trap every 20 minutes until dry. All are now washed in hot water with a small amount of bleach crystals to sanitize thrown in the tub, 2/3 the normal amount of laundry detergent, one fourth cup vinegar in the softener dispenser, and dried on low heat. No vinegar smell persists, and all are still soft and absorbent. There is NO excessive lint. My reviews and ratings- *5 STARS. Pinzon 820-Gram Luxury Cotton Hand and Bath Towels, White; Soft and smooth, tightly woven, VERY thick towels. Put the bath towels out for my husband, they are too heavy and cumbersome for me. Cannot get my ears dried out! The hand towels are a nice 20” by 30” size. They both take very long to dry, so I tend not to use the hand towel very often. No pulled threads or unraveling seams after almost four months of constant use. *5 STARS. Turkish Luxury Hotel & Spa (Salbakos) Bath and Hand Towel- 100% Genuine Cotton from Turkey - 700gsm Organic Eco-Friendly, White, Sold by: American Linen; (Similar to the LUNASIDUS Bergamo, Luxury Hotel / Spa towels) Soft, thick and fluffy towels. A daily go-to towel bath towel for my use. Didn’t get washcloths in this brand, but did get their hand towels. The 16” by 30” hand towels are now 15” by 28 ½”, still a reasonable hand towel size. I initially thought the hand towels did not feel as thick as the bath towels. I sent an inquiry through Amazon, and received a reply that someone would get back to me within 24 hours. Never heard from them! But, they seem fine now. Just wish the hand towel was 18” by 30”, it would be just about perfect and worth a little more money. No pulled threads or unraveling seams after almost four months of constant use. *4 STARS. Superior 900 Gram Egyptian Cotton (6-Piece Towel Set), White, Superior. Soft and smooth, tightly woven, VERY thick towels. Again, my husband gets this bath towel. I donated the 2 washcloths, they are just too thick for practical use. Generously sized hand towels, 20” by 30”, but again, they take SOO long to dry that they’re not used very often. One side seam on one bath towel is unraveling, and I am not even going to try to sew this extremely thick towel-going to the rag bin. No pulled threads after almost four months of constant use. *4 STARS. LUNASIDUS Bergamo, Luxury Hotel / Spa Washcloths, Bath and Hand Towels, 100 Percent Turkish Cotton, White; (Similar to the Turkish Luxury Hotel & Spa (Salbakos) towels and washcloths) Soft, thick and fluffy towels. A daily go-to towel bath towel for my use. The wash cloths are thick, but can still be used to wash your ears. These towels and wash cloths ALL have a large, synthetic fabric label, PLUS a paper type label, and both labels are irritating on your skin. Finally just cut them both off. The hand towels that started out as 16” by 30” have shrunk down to 13 ½’ by 26”, they’re bordering on too small. One of the 6 hand towels has a pulled thread in the middle of the towel about 2 inches long. *4 STARS. Fecido Deluxe Hotel & Spa Extremely Absorbent 100% Cotton 4-Piece Towel Set, White Bath, Hand, Fingertip Towels and Washcloths; Soft and fluffy towels, a little thinner than the other four brands., but still absorbent. They are a very brilliant white compared to the other four brands. One end seam on the HUGE (39” X 19” hand towel!) unraveled, but Fecido responded promptly. I just kept the towel since I’d already sewed it up the seam. After four months, the two winners are the two brands that have not had any issues-Pinzon by Amazon and Turkish Luxury Hotel & Spa (Salbakos) from American Linen. 820 grams is just two thick a towel for my personal preference, and takes too long to dry, but my husband likes them. And after four months, I would probably purchase nothing but these two brands, so my husband can have the heavier towels and I get what works for me. I’ve attached a few pictures showing various sizes on the hand towels, a ripped seam, a hanging thread, and the thickness of the bath towels.. Overall, sight unseen, quality bath towels. Depending on your budget and personal preferences, I’d recommend any of these 5 brands of towels. UPDATE, 3-29-2017: A year and a half later, my ratings still stand (but American Linen is now American Pillow Case). Their "Turkish Luxury Hotel and Spa Collection (Salbakos) is still my favorite, and my husband likes the thicker Pinzon 820 Gram Luxury Cotton Bath Towel. They have both held up extremely well, dry you off very well, and are comfortably soft. STILL wish they made an 18" or 20" by 30" inch hand towel! There is no fraying or loose threads on either brands. Both the Superior 900 Gram towel and the Lunasidus Bergamo have developed a few more loose threads, but overall still intact and OK. Towels are a costly investment-glad to have shared my experience with other shoppers and know most people have found this review helpful.

Beautiful high quality towels. No color bleed even on the first wash. Thick and absorbent, soft and low lint. After several disappointing towel purchases, I finally found these and am honestly pleased.

So, these towels are extremely absorbent and very soft. However, I gave it 4 out of 5 start due to the fact that they shed a LOT in the wash / dryer. Four washes in, and there is still lint left in the washing machine even. And when washed with other items, the lint gets all over them - completely, and the dryer can't remove all of it.

When it says Jumbo it is jumbo. Wonderful towel.

I bought this set in Gray in order to sew on a quilted decorative border and use these towels in my downstairs bathroom for drying hands. One thing I really like about them is that they are slightly narrow. They measure 16" x 30" This makes them fit into the towel ring without bunching up too much but having enough towel to hang down to do a good job drying the hands. The towel is not the thickest nap I've ever seen--it's a low, loopy cotton terry made in Turkey, so these are technically real "Turkish Towels." There were a few pulls near the embroidered border. I am not sure how the dye will hold up with repeated washings: generally, darker towels fade no matter what. The towels are nice and soft. They washed up soft and fluffy. I wanted a lower pile because I'm going to sew on a quilted decorative border above the embroidered border, and so I didn't want anything too thick. These fit the bill perfectly, and six towels at the sale price came out to four bux apiece, which is a good price for a decent towel that is far better than the ones from the dollar store. I'm not sure I'd buy the entire set for bathroom towels that are used heavily--but at the price and the color choice, you could do a lot worse.

How I rate: 1 star-don't like at all, 2 stars-it's ok (meh), 3 stars-impressed (I like it), 4 stars-pretty darn good (I love this), 5 stars-wow (indispensable in my life) Got these towels in the sea foam green color. They were almost a color match to existing towels I already owned. They washed well the first time (before use). Though the weight of the towel felt a little on the lighter side, the towel dried me off fairly well. Felt ok on the skin-not too soft (like microfiber towels) and not too rough. I was impressed this towel dried fairly well after being used for just being hung on a towel hook-not even a towel bar. How well? Took a shower late evening apprx 11pm, and early next morning at around 5 am it was bone dry. While performance of how quickly the towel dries impressed me, the color fastness of the towel was a total let down. After the second use, I discovered the next morning there where two bleached spots on the towel. What?! How did this happen?! Only thing I can think of is when I wrapped it around my head that maybe MAYBE the color dyes that were used for this towel did not like my particular shampoo? And whatever residual traces of shampoo was left in my hair bleached the towel? Because the two spots line up perfectly if I were to wrap it around my head again. This has only happened a few other times with the cheap towels I get from the stores (for like $4 for $5 bucks). At this price point (at over $11/per towel), I expected this to perform a whole lot better (be a little heavier, be softer, not get bleached from just shampoo residue). So while the speed of how quickly the towel dries after being used is nice, it's not enough for me to repurchase these towels. Photos of: towel brand, how it looks before wash, after being washed/dried before use (cotton loops became just a little coarser), and bleached areas of towel after only the second use to show it's not colorfast.

Love these bath towels. They are large and I bought 4. They are great.thank you so very much.

Buen producto, cumple con especificaciones

I bought these towels for the subtle colour and was happy to see how soft they remain even after several washes.

Pricing not bad, quality not so good…
