Everything you need to know about beach towels

What is 1 fouta?

A Fouta is a light Turkish cotton and/or linen towel. It is used as a beach towel, bath towel, sarong or throw. Foutas are known for their absorbency and softness. They are found in different sizes, colors, designs and patterns.

With its summer look, it will become an essential part of everyday life for many beachgoers. Thanks to its versatility, the Fouta is an essential accessory for the beach!

What is the right weight for a bath towel?

The weight of a bath towel is usually determined by its size and the material it is made of. In general, adult towels should weigh between 500 and 600 grams per square meter (GSM) for quick drying.

Towels heavier than 600 GSM are generally thicker and more absorbent, but may take longer to dry.

For childrenit is recommended to choose towels of about 450 GSM so that they dry quickly. The material of the Fouta is a light and breathable linen which weighs around 400 GSM.

It is therefore ideal for beach days because it will provide you with the comfort you need while drying relatively quickly. It can even be used as a summer blanket!

How to clean a beach towel?

It is important to wash your beach towel regularly as sand, salt water and other elements can degrade it over time. For starters, be sure to shake off all the sand before washing it off.

Then use a mild detergent on your machine's lowest setting. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener as this will damage the fibers of the towel.

After washing be sure to hang the towel up to dry. This will help maintain its shape and keep it looking great for longer. If possible, air drying is always the best option!

With proper care, your beach towel can last you many seasons of beach outings. Enjoy!

What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?

A towel is generally smaller and lighter than a bath sheet. Towels typically measure around 30 x 54 inches, while bath sheets can be much larger, up to 70 x 35 inches.

The extra size of the bath towel allows for drying off after a shower or snuggling up after a dip in the water.

Towels are usually made from lightweight materials like cotton and terry cloth, while bath sheets are usually thicker and more absorbent, like Turkish cotton or Egyptian cotton.

Both options are great for the beach, but the larger bath sheet provides extra coverage and makes it easier to drape over your body when relaxing on the sand.
