Bath Sheets vs Towels: What's The Difference?

It's quite simple.

The difference is their size, with bath sheets measuring larger than bath towels.

Wondering how this affects your everyday bathroom routine?

Here's a breakdown of the benefits of each size, which'll help you make the right towel purchase.

The standard size of a Linen House bath towel is 69cm x 139cm.

Why a bath towel?

It's perfectly lightweight, therefore easier to maneuver when drying after a bath or shower.
It's less expensive to launder than a bath sheet, using less water and less detergent.
When it comes to wrapping wet hair, this size sits neatly without the weighty, about-to-unravel burden as you go about getting ready.
A family favourite, it fits both adults and children, being not too large and heavy.
It's far easier to store and fold if you're squeezed for space in your home. It also sits on a hook or bar neatly, even when drying.
