The Importance of Towel Thickness

Feb 15th 2016

When shopping for towels, consumers often overlook a very important factor – towel thickness.

People usually overlook this for two reasons. The first reason is that they forget that this is an important factor to look into. The second reason is that consumers aren’t sure where to find this information. Luckily, Towel Hub offers a comprehensive guide for determining towel thickness – the GSM (grams per square meter) value.

GSM describes the linear density, or thickness, of a towel. GSM is a standard measurement for fabric weight and quality. Towels usually are between 300 – 900 GSM (with the larger number indicating thicker towels). When shopping for wholesale towels on Towel Hub, it’s easy to compare GSM values to find your ideal thickness.

So what’s the big deal about towel thickness anyways? Here are some reasons why thick towels are a great addition to your supply:

  • The soft, weighty feel gives a sense of maximum comfort
  • Thick towels are incredibly absorbent, and make drying off a breeze
  • Thicker towels tend to me able to withstand more wear and tear

So when your shopping for towels wholesale at Towel Hub, don’t forget to check out GSM value!
