Bath Sheets Are the Only “Towels” I Use — My Go-To Is on Major Sale

I livein a rental apartment, so there are only so many changes I can make to really customize my space. Sure, I’ve painted the walls and swapped out lots of builder-grade fixtures, but I’ve found that the best way to customize my home is to invest in high-quality furnishings and textiles.

In my bathroom, for example, I can’t change the hulking mirrored vanity, the boring toilet-paper holder, or the impractical bifold closet doors, so I’m definitely not settling on the items Idohave control over, like nice toiletries and snuggly, enveloping bath sheets. And you bet I’m waiting for these little luxuries to go on sale to keep my wallet happy.In fact, my absolute favoriteBrooklinen bath sheets are majorly discountedduring the brand’s Surprise Sale.If you’ve gotten your fill ofAmazon’s Prime Day deals, you might want to check outBrooklinen’s sitewide 20 percent-off sale.

If you’ve never heard of a bath sheet, you’re in for a treat. A bath sheet, essentially, is an oversized bath towel, but this description doesn’t do it enough justice. If you’re like me, and you love the feeling of wrapping your entire body in a warm, fluffy beach towel after getting out of the pool or ocean, you’d love a bath sheet.

Because beach towels are so big, they feel more like a blanket than a towel — a luxury as opposed to a purely utilitarian item. Bath sheets provide this same comfort to your post-shower routine; they wrap you in a soft embrace you want to linger in.

For reference, regular bath towels are approximately 30 inches by 58 inches, while bath sheets are approximately 40 inches by 65 inches, which means they have about 860 square inches of extra fabric over a standard bath towel.

After years of living with roommates and flitting from bathroom to bedroom in bath towels that felt more like loincloths, the discovery of bath sheets — particularlyBrooklinen’s super-plush bath sheets— checked off multiple boxes for me. They evoke the same feeling of lounging in a fluffy hotel bathrobe, yes, but they’re also far more size-inclusive.

If you can relate to the disappointment of trying to wrap a towel around your exposed body, only to find that your most sensitive bits are still uncovered, I encourage you to try a bath sheet. They’re large enough to wrap around most people, so you won’t get sopping wet while drying off,andyou can tuck it tightly around yourself while you do your multi-step skincare routine, blow-dry your hair, and pick out your outfit.

Needless to say, as someone who was repeatedly disappointed by typically sized bath towels, I’ve been elated to see the increase in popularity of bath sheets. I’ve dried my body off with a slew of different towels throughout the years (both for personal use and editorial testing), but fell head over heels forBrooklinen’s super-plush bath sheets, thanks to their generous size and the super-soft, fluffy, Turkish cotton pile.
