Not only did they deftly suck up an exciting 78.87% of the water in my absorbency test, but they’re also impressively soft-and save for a few of my other winners, that’s not usually the case with more absorbent towels.

Let’s start by talking about the absorbency of these towels. They’re not my top pick, it’s true, but they’re an excellent choice for those on a budget and anyone who’s simply interested in the best of the basics. I was also incredibly impressed with their overall quality, especially relative to the more luxurious (read: expensive) options I tested. It’s particularly hard to beat the cost of these towels-but their under-$20 price tag is certainly not the only reason I loved them.

Meanwhile, Frontgate’s high-pile terry is more of an experience all around-standard and durable enough to be used daily, but exciting and high-pile enough for the more discerning towel users out there.

It’s free from frills, but it’ll get the job done. It’s particularly thick, as I mentioned, so if you’d prefer a towel whose primary function is just to get you dry-as opposed to one you’d want to, say, lounge around in for hours on end-I might direct you to the Onsen option below. Of course, all this talk about luxury and extreme softness brings me to an important point: This isn’t the towel for everyone. (It’s important to note that this towel did tie for first in the absorbency competition with the Matouk Milagro Bath Towel.) That means it’s mathematically proven to be fluffy and absorbent-and as expected, it did perform very well in my absorbency test, sucking up a whopping 97.5% of the water I used in my tests. It’s far and away the softest and thickest towel I tested, more like a blanket than a utilitarian linen, and it also boasts one of the highest gsm (grams per square meter) of all the towels I tested. That’s how I felt about the Frontgate Resort Cotton Bath Towel.
