I live in a rental apartment, so there are only so many changes I can make to really customize my environment. 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 you can bet I’m not settling on the items I do have control over, like luxury toiletries and snuggly, enveloping bath sheets.
Wait, What’s a Bath Sheet?
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.
What’s So Great About Brooklinen’s Super-Plush Bath Sheets?
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 — particularly Brooklinen’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, and you 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 for Brooklinen’s super-plush bath sheets, thanks to their generous size and the super-soft, fluffy, Turkish cotton pile.
I’ve owned these particular towels in the modern Marled Black colorway and, now in my current bathroom, the perfectly neutral Vanilla. They’re an investment, yes, but one that’s well worth it — especially because they’re on sale during Brooklinen’s July Fourth Sale, where you can take 20% off everything across the site, including these bath sheets.
As for me, I’ll take the bath sheets with me when we move, or maybe even treat myself to a new set, because there’s not a chance I’d go back to a standard-sized towel.
