What Makes Environmentally Friendly Towels So Soft?

There’s nothing better than stepping out of the shower with a fresh, fluffy towel ready to get wrapped up in, especially when you know it’s good for the environment too. Here’s everything you need to know about sustainable yet luxuriously soft towel options and how to pick the right ones for your family.

A Range Of Natural Fibres

Pure Zone towels come in Cotton and Bamboo fibres. Both are extremely soft and absorbent.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: We recommend using a minimal amount of gentle washing detergent when washing Towels as too much detergent can decrease softness and alter the absorbency of the Towels too. We do not recommend using fabric softeners either, as they can coat the fibre of the Towel and reduce the overall absorbency. We recommend tumble drying on a gentle, cool setting to help keep towels soft.

Weave

Towels have the option for a looped, zero-twisted, single-twisted or low-twist yarn, all are different ways of weaving the yarn.

Inferior cotton yarns are twisted multiple times to allow the material to be strong enough to weave, whereas for high quality fibres a low twist count can be used. This is because these fibres, as well as being naturally soft, are also naturally strong.

The variation in the twist creates the unique feel for each range.

GSM

A towel’s weight is measured in grams per square metre, or GSM for short. This number tells you the weight of the towel. Pure Zone Towels are available in a range from 480 to 800 GSM.

Higher GSM generally means a thicker, more absorbent luxurious Towel. Although our 100% Natural Bamboo Towels have a much lighter feeling compared to their cotton equivalent, while maintaining equal absorbency and quick-drying benefits in a lighter weight option.

All towels in between a 480 and 800 GSM range are premium quality towels. It's all about finding the right towel for you. A 480 GSM Towel will be a bit lighter and quicker to dry than an ultra-thick, plush 800 GSM Towel. So if you enjoy that feeling of being wrapped in a thick fluffy towel, a higher GSM is for you.

What are my fabric options?

Bamboo

Natural Bamboo Fibres are silky-soft to touch, and have a superior absorbency compared to Cotton. They are lighter in weight (GSM) compared to our Cotton Towels, but equally quick-drying. Bamboo is also naturally Hypoallergenic and Antibacterial.

Cotton

Cotton is a natural fibre. Pure Zone Towels are generally made with Combed Cotton fibres, which prepares the towels for washing by removing excess fluff.

Bamboo Cotton

Bamboo Cotton is a premium blend of two natural materials – Bamboo and Cotton – which makes luxuriously soft Towels with a thick, comfortable feel.

Egyptian cotton

Egyptian Cotton has extra long, fine fibres which allow for a higher thread count and provide superior softness, breathability and absorbency.

Quilt Has Been A Lifesaver

The sheets are a dream to sleep in and I no longer have constant night sweats. In the summer months I’ve always used a throw blanket until now - upgrading to the quilt has been a lifesaver.
