Linda B on Sep 19, 2016I've been really happy with my Threshold towels from Target. The price was right, they're nice and plush, and after nearly 2 years of solid use, they're holding up beautifully.Helpful Reply

Vanda wright on Sep 19, 2016Don't get the ones that have a "band" at either end: the band will shrink in the dryer so that the ends of the towel look gathered up.Helpful Reply

Christine Woodall on Sep 19, 2016I've got a bunch of towels from Penny's that I've had for over 10 years that are white and most are still in great condition. They were "spa" towels probably don't even make anymore. I did have one unravel at the edges so I cut up and use for rags--still using and I have one with band a couple of inches from the bottom, I won't buy those anymore because of the puckering already mentionedHelpful Reply

Shelaine Blanchard on Sep 19, 2016I also have towels and washcloths from Penny's that I have had for 17 yrs. while many others have come and gone to rags. I have no idea what the actual brand was because the little cloth tags with that info didn't hold up as well as the towels. But I swear, the whole set still looks brand new, no fading, thinning, tearing. Unfortunately, I can no longer afford to shop at Penny's so we end up with the cheap ones that last maybe 2 yrs.Helpful Reply

Barbara Nichols on Sep 19, 2016Yes, Penneys has terrific towels. I found that Egyptian cotton towels (any brand) are the best for absorption.Helpful Reply

Rosie Walsh on Sep 19, 2016I've always bought, on sale, the very best towels I could find, and they last and last. I don't wash them often, feeling that I'm clean when using them. Often put outside on nice days to dry. They smell wonderful.Helpful Reply

Marrianne Rudy on Sep 19, 2016I've got Penneys too but in all white. My daughter and I get white because you can bleach them and keep them looking freshly laundered and bright. We use an accent color for display.Helpful Reply

Chiricahua Cowgirl on Sep 19, 2016I bought HUGE bath towels at Sam's Club for $7.00 each. They are really thick, which is what we like. They are hotel grade. So far they are doing excellent. They do shed a lot when they are washed, but figure that will stop after a few washings. Only 1 problem, not a big choice of colors and no hand towels to match.Helpful Reply

512181 on Sep 19, 2016Costco is pretty good. Try the Company Store too. There will never be any towels or sheets as wonderful as the old Charisma brand! The new Charisma isn't bad, but they are not like the sheets and towels in the "old days"-- (went bankrupt in early 2,000). Look for Supima cotton for the nicest towels.Helpful Reply

Fattwoslim64 on Sep 19, 2016Top quality towels at a very low price can be found at outlet malls like outside of Williamsburg, Va - Prima cotton and I have had mine for over 15 years.Helpful Reply

Brenda Hand-Amunrud on Sep 20, 2016I agree Cannon towels are the best brand I have found. Target has some cheaper towels that are not as good quality as Cannon but they are a cheaper substitute if you have a small budget. I also like the Kohl's brand.Helpful Reply

M on Sep 20, 2016I bought the cheap Better Homes and Gardens bath towels from Walmart. (4.88)They have stood up to a busy beach house with many kids. Repeated washing without lint or fading and I have had them for three years. The kids even wipe up floor and dogs and they look new.Helpful Reply

1268409614 on Sep 23, 2016I've had them all. I like the ones that I bought at IKEA, crazy sale .99cent each with a loop to hang. Not thin or thick but it outlasted all of the others.Helpful Reply

Jan9815268 on Sep 23, 2016Whatever brand, read the laundering label. It was pointed out to me recently that cotton towels should be washed in warm - not hot - as hot water shrinks cotton. Do not use a softener including dryer sheets as the substance sticks to the loops and over time they become less absorbent.Helpful Reply

Anne on Sep 24, 2016I have had very good luck with the towels Costco sells, the brand is Charisma and they are holding up very nicely - over 6 years so far.Helpful Reply

Michelle Harbee on Sep 27, 2016I suggest buying white towels. Hotels use white for various reasons but mainly, they appear crisp and spa-like. Secondly, you can keep them vibrantly white and sanitary by bleaching them.Helpful Reply
