A large towel is a luxurious bathroom product that offers significantly more comfort and coverage than regular towels. Jumbo towels are typically 100x150 cm or larger, while a regular bath towel is about 70x140 cm. These large towels are available from online stores, textile specialty stores and department stores all over Finland. Hotel-quality large towels can be found from suppliers specifically aimed at professional use.
Where can I get a large towel and what sizes are available?
Large towels can be found in many towel shops in Finland. Online stores such as Sisustus1 offer a wide selection of hotel-quality towels , which are delivered directly to your home. Specialized textile stores and larger department stores also carry large towels in their selections.
The most common sizes of large towels start from 100x150 cm and extend up to 100x180 cm. For comparison, a standard bath towel is about 70x140 cm, so a giant towel offers significantly more coverage. For example, the Luxury Line giant towel measures 100x180 cm and represents the most luxurious size category.
A jumbo towel is usually defined as a towel that is at least 100 cm wide. This provides enough space to comfortably wrap your entire body in the towel after a sauna or shower. Custom sizes for specific needs are also available from specialty stores and professional suppliers.
Why choose a hotel-quality large towel for your home?
A hotel-quality large towel at home brings luxurious comfort and longevity. These towels are made for professional use, so they can withstand hundreds of washes while maintaining their softness and absorbency. A quality hotel towel absorbs moisture more effectively and feels more luxurious on the skin than regular consumer towels.
The main difference between hotel towels and regular towels is their weight and density , which is measured in grams per square meter (GSM). Professional-grade towels typically weigh 500-700 g/m², while regular consumer towels often fall below 400 g/m². A higher weight means a thicker, softer, and more absorbent towel.
The quality of the material is another key factor. Hotel quality towels are made from 100% high-quality cotton, which has been treated with special methods to improve absorbency. The structure is denser and stronger, which ensures durability in professional use. Although the price is higher, the longevity makes hotel towels a cost-effective choice over the years.
What should you consider when buying a large towel?
The material is the most important factor in choosing a towel. A 100% cotton towel is the most absorbent and softest option, while blends may dry faster but often feel less luxurious. Natural fibers are more breathable and are suitable for sensitive skin.
The weight and thickness of a towel indicate its quality. The GSM (grams per square meter) is a good reference: less than 400 g/m² is lightweight, 400-600 g/m² is medium thick, and more than 600 g/m² is luxuriously thick. A thicker towel feels plusher, but dries more slowly.
Care instructions affect practicality. The best large towel can withstand washing at 95 °C and tumble drying, which allows for hygienic cleaning. Color fastness is important so that the towel retains its appearance from wash to wash. Also consider the intended use: lighter for the beach, thicker and more absorbent for the sauna and bath.
It's worth evaluating the price-quality ratio in the long run. A high-quality towel costs more, but will save you money when it lasts for years.
How is a large towel different from a regular bath towel?
The size differences are significant. A standard bath towel is typically 70x140 cm, while a jumbo towel starts at 100x150 cm and can be up to 100x180 cm. This 30-40 cm increase in both width and length makes a huge difference in comfort.
The larger size offers clear advantages in certain situations. After a sauna, a large towel covers the entire body at once, and there is no need to balance with a small towel. At the beach, a large towel acts as a comfortable platform, and for tall people it provides enough length to wrap around themselves. The towel can also be used wrapped around the waist without worrying about slipping.
Practical aspects require attention. A large towel takes up more space in the closet and when drying on a line. Drying time is longer, especially with a thick hotel-grade towel. The washing machine load must be taken into account, as a wet giant towel weighs considerably. However, these practical aspects are small compromises compared to the comfort and luxury that a quality large towel offers.
