If they’re matted down, flat, and have strings handing off them it’s officially time to upgrade your bath towels. Here are some of the best sales and deals taking place this MLK Weekend 2021!!
The Top 3
Are you ready to make that towel upgrade? We were too once we realized that our favorite towels were still from our college days. Now, bath towels have come pretty far and you don’t necessarily have to pay top dollar to experience soft and luxurious towels, especially during this amazing Martin Luther King Jr sale event!
Our favorite towels we’ve bought and tested are the slate blue towels by Snowe Home. See below why we are 100% obsessed. Overall there are a few different things you want to look at when trying to figure out the best towels for you. First, you have to decide if you want 100% cotton or are ok with mix in the material. There’s been a big uptick in a microfiber and cotton mix in recent years and we strongly suggest giving these a whirl because they’ll dry much faster than cotton and are way more absorbent too (all while still being totally soft).
During this sale we’re seeing an average savings of anywhere from 15% – 30% off original prices. Pro Tip: You can usually save even more when you (a) buy in bulk or (b) are willing to go with classic white or grey towels. A lot of time different color towels can be the most expensive.

In-Depth Towel Reviews
A lot of towels that we grew up with totally shed and left our dryers (and mirrors) filled with lint. Today, most towels won’t do that. You may have to spend a bit more (not much) because that’s usually a trait of some cheaper towels. Also, some are noted to shed when you first purchase them, so running them through the washer and dryer a couple times will typically do the trick until they’re broken in and ready to use.
Check out some of the best bath towels (so far) in 2021 that we’re obsessed with.
1. The Soft Bath Towel in Slate Blue by Snowe – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Super soft, fluffy, and comfy.
- Fast absorbent and quick drying.
- Lightweight, yet feels like you’re wrapped in a cloud.
Cons:
- It can be a bit on the pricer side as compared to some others.
We couldn’t love these towels any more than we do! First off, they’re extremely soft, yet lightweight. They’re a bit bigger than the average towel, yet won’t take up a ton of storage room. Outside of feeling like you’re wrapped up in a fluffy cloud, these are super absorbent and really fast drying, which is perfect for those of us who reuse their towel throughout the week. We love (love, love love) it in slate blue, but it also comes in other colors like white, grey, ivory, and more. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
These towels are heaven! So, so, SO worth it. Six months later, that first towel looks just as pristine as the brand new one I just bought. They’re soft, super absorbent and best of all…they don’t shed!”
2. The Everplush Diamond Jacquard Set of 2 Towels – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Made of cotton and microfiber.
- Odor resistant, requiring potentially less washing.
- Dries you much faster than 100% cotton towels.
- Lint and pilling free!
Cons:
- A bit on the more expensive side.
- Not as many colors to choose from when compared to some other brands.
If you’re looking for some of the fastest drying towels, well, these are them! Since they’re a combo of both cotton and microfiber they’re going to dry you off much faster than just 100% cotton towels and they’ll dry on your hook (or in your dryer) faster than most. One of our favorite parts is that they’re odor resistant so if you if you want to get some additional use of them before having to toss them in your washer, you’re in luck! Even better, they’re lint and pilling free and they’ll actually get even softer the more you use and wash them as time goes on. These come as a set of two and while we love them in classic grey, you can also get them in white, lavender, navy blue, caramel, and more. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
The claims about quick drying are true! It is like drying off with a soft sponge. They never smell and do not show stains. I really like that they hold the smell of my fabric softener!”
3. Superior Luxury Cotton Towel Set in Classic White – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Currently has over 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
- More than 600 customer reviews, with 80% of customers rating them at least 4 stars.
- Oversized as compared to many other brands.
- Quick drying and easy to wash/dry.
Cons:
- Some customers thought they were a bit linty at first.
You can’t go wrong with this classic set of 2, especially in traditional white. We love that they’re a bit oversized so they easily wrap about us without having to hold it on the side when we get out of the shower. You know that kind! They’re made from long-staple cotton, are a bit on the heavier side (so they’re durable and will hold up in your washing machine), and are really absorbent. While we totally appreciate a classic white option, these also come in a bunch of other colors like blue, grey, rose, red, teal, purple, plum, black, and more. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
W0w! These are the thickest towels I’ve ever encountered and I’ve been in some very nice (Waldorf level) hotels. Almost too thick! I love them!”
4. The Fieldcrest Spa Towel in Light Blue – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Currently has 4.5 out of 5 stars at Target.
- More than 500 customer reviews!
- Priced on the cheap (so to speak).
Cons:
- It’s absorbent, but could be a bit more absorbent.
This is one of the most popular options on Target right now! We hate use words like “cheap” and “no frills” but that’s pretty much what they bath towels are, but in a good way. If you don’t want to spend more than $15 per towel, these just may be the best option for you. They’re soft, hold up well in the wash, and come in a variety of really popular colors like peach, white, navy blue, mint green, and more. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
It’s very soft…and thick. Even though it is very soft, it does a good job drying you off, and never leaves lint!”
5. The Chakir Turkish Cotton Set of 4 in Grey – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Amazing quality for the price.
- Currently has 4.3 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
- Over 1,700 customer reviews, with over 80% of customers rating them either 4 or 5 stars.
- Really soft and absorbent.
Cons:
- You should wash them once before you first use them so they get softer.
These are such a great option, especially when you’re looking for a set of 4. They’re some of the more popular ones on Amazon right now and are relatively soft and comfy. They’re easy (and quick) to wash and dry and will hold up for a decent amount of time before you’re ready to replace them again. If grey isn’t your jam, check them out in over 14 other colors like white, cranberry, navy blue, coral, eggplant, plum, aqua, grass green, and more. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
They are fluffy and very durable! Did not shed AT ALL. They also look great in the linen closet and on display in your bathroom for the all white look!”
6. The 100% Organic Bath Towels by Made Here in Water Blue – Buy It Here
Pros:
- Currently has 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon with hundreds of customer reviews.
- Made from 100% organic cotton.
- Consist of 2-ply combed cotton so they’re really durable.
- Made in the USA!
Cons:
- We wish there was more of a color selection to choose from.
We love supporting a local business and, well, you can’t get more local than towels made right here in the United States! These come as a set of 2 and are 100% organic. Plus, they’re a bit oversized so they’ll comfortably wrap around your body. Since they’re 2-ply combed cotton they’re pretty absorbent and are really durable so they’ll hold up for a while in the washer and dryer. Don’t worry, they’re really soft too! They also come in other colors like grey, green, brown, and white. See more color options here!
One recent customer said,
