If you take your towels seriously, you’ll be relieved to know Scooms’s founders Emily and Jonathan Attwood share your concerns. They spent a year researching different yarns, weights and construction methods to come up with this heavenly, hotel-like towel that lost none of its softness during testing, even after several washes.

It’s made from a heavy, 100 per cent long-staple Egyptian cotton with a whopping 720 GSM, using a zero-twist loop to give a smoother finish that won’t irritate the skin. The towel also meets Oeko-Tex Standard 100 to verify it has been tested for harmful toxins and chemicals.

Though we were reluctant to get dry and be parted from it after showers, the towel is amazingly absorbent, so did the job in half the time. We also liked the fact it comes with a hook sewn in for easy hanging, has double-stitched edging and has hand towels, bath sheets and bath mats to match. The only downside: when wrapped in this towel, our youngest tester was even more reluctant than normal to get dressed after bath time.

This towel from Dunelm has all the hallmarks of a pricier option yet for a little more than £10. It’s made from extra-long Egyptian cotton fibres – although doesn’t specify the GSM rating – and has smartly reinforced edges to prevent future fraying. It even comes with an impressive five-year guarantee.

It is thinner than some of the more expensive towels we tested but also dries in a flash to prevent musty smells and won’t swamp the bathroom radiator when it’s hung up. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a towel to bring swimming or on holiday or just for regular use in a busy bathroom.
