Finding quality bathrobes is not always easy, even though they are already a central part of bathrooms. A good quality bathrobe is made of durable material, feels comfortable on the skin and can withstand multiple washes without losing its softness. The best bathrobes combine high-quality materials, careful workmanship and practical details. Bringing hotel-like luxury to your home requires knowing the right materials and manufacturers, as well as choosing the right products.
Where can I find hotel-quality bathrobes for home use?
Hotel-quality bathrobes for home use are best found in specialty stores that also supply textiles to the hospitality industry. Hotel bathrobes are designed to withstand daily use and numerous washings, making them an excellent choice for home use as well. A normal bathrobe will not last in a hotel and has very different properties compared to a hotel bathrobe, so it is not worth looking for products in the supermarket.
Many consumers have begun to appreciate luxurious bathrobes as part of their home textile selection, as they bring a touch of luxury to everyday life. A bathrobe is not only a practical textile in the bathroom, but also a first aid for relaxation, helping to transition from a busy everyday life to a leisurely atmosphere.
In our online store you will find high-quality hotel-quality bathrobes , which you can also visit our showroom in Helsinki . Our staff will help you choose the right one! The bathrobes in our selection are used in numerous luxury hotels and spas around the world.
What materials should you choose for a quality bathrobe?
For a quality bathrobe, it is best to choose long-staple cotton with a weight of at least 300 g/m². Terrycloth bathrobes are a classic choice, but the highest quality hotels have stopped using them in recent years due to their poor durability and unpleasant stiffness.
A 100% cotton bathrobe is breathable and is especially suitable for those with sensitive skin. It absorbs moisture effectively, but may feel heavy when wet and harden after the first wash. 100% microfiber bathrobes are lighter and dry faster, but may not be as breathable.
Linen bathrobes are less common, but offer a natural, cool feel and are especially suitable for summer use. However, they are not very durable in washing. Cheap linen can also be itchy on the skin.
This bathrobe model, especially popular in luxury hotels , is made of 100% cotton on the inside, which dries the skin like a high-quality towel and breathes like a natural fiber. The outside is made of 100% short-cut microfiber, which is an extremely soft material and immune to hardening, shrinkage, and thread pulls. This combination withstands even the daily washing of hotels without any problems and offers 5-star hotel guests the soft luxury they demand for years.
Our selection includes several bathrobes made with this technology and popular with luxury hotels, including Hotel Spa, as well as the High End collection.
How to recognize a durable and well-made bathrobe?
A durable and well-made bathrobe can be recognized primarily by its weight and feel. A quality bathrobe feels heavy in the hands and the material is uniform without thinning areas. The material is natural material against the skin, and soft microfiber on the outside. A quality bathrobe can withstand washing at up to 90 degrees and tumble drying.
Check the seams and stitching: they should be straight and even with no loose threads. A good bathrobe will have reinforced seams, especially at the belt attachment point and pockets, to prevent tearing.
The belt attachment must be sewn properly, not just loosely attached. A quality bathrobe often has the belt sewn into the back piece so that it doesn't get lost in the wash. Of course, different models, regardless of quality, may also have a removable belt, allowing you to adjust its height.
A quality bathrobe often also has double material on the collar and cuffs, which improves comfort and durability. A high washing temperature (60-90°C) mentioned in the washing instructions often indicates that the product is designed to withstand multiple washing cycles.
Where to buy high-quality bathrobes in Finland?
In Finland, high-quality bathrobes can be purchased from specialty stores, the highest-quality collections of department stores, and online stores specializing in hotel equipment. The best bathrobes can often be found in stores that also supply textiles to hotels and spas.
The advantage of online stores is a wide selection and the ability to compare different options at your leisure.
The price of quality bathrobes starts at around 70 euros. It is worth investing in a quality bathrobe, as the comfort and long lifespan make it a more affordable option than regularly replacing cheap models.
How to properly care for a bathrobe to extend its lifespan?
The lifespan of your bathrobe can be significantly extended with proper care. Wash your bathrobe separately the first time to prevent color bleeding. Always follow the washing instructions, but as a general rule, most bathrobes can be washed at 40-60 degrees, and the highest quality hotel bathrobes can be washed at up to 95 degrees.
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they reduce the absorbency of the material over time. Instead, add a deciliter of vinegar when washing, which will help maintain the softness of the bathrobe and remove any soap residue.
Dry the bathrobe preferably by hanging it in an airy manner. You can tumble dry it on a short cycle if the washing instructions allow it, but it is not necessarily necessary. Tumble drying it for too long can wear out the material.
Store your bathrobe in an airy place. Do not pack it in a tight cupboard when damp, as this can cause an unpleasant smell and the material to become felted. With good care, a quality bathrobe will remain soft and comfortable for years.
