Like a burrito, but fresh and clean.

No matter what you’re doing right now, stop. Drop everything and go look at your linen closet (or the hook on the back of your bathroom door for all my apartment dwellers). Whatever towels you’re currently featuring are long overdue to be replaced. How do I know? I just do. Unless you’ve bought new ones in the last, say, four years, I’m talking to you.

You don’t have time for stained, damp, ripped, or scratchy towels, and why should you suffer through them anyway? It might not be the most glamorous self-care purchase, but it’s a necessary one. And as it’s currently Amazon Prime Day, there are tons of incredible home deals to shop now...towels included. Whether you prefer waffle towels or hair twists, here are eight of the best towels on Amazon.

If you ask me, it’s all about bath sheets, which is just XL towels. Unlike any I’ve seen before, this option has two different sizes on sheets. Think: XL or XXL!

Colors: 20 options

Sizes: 7 options

Material: Turkish cotton

Dimensions: 27 inches x 54 inches (for regular bath towel size)

Customer review: “This is the third set of these towels I have ordered for multiple bathrooms. They are nice and thick, highly absorbent, and wash well. I have previously ordered other brands that cost more and were disappointing. I also love the colors and they don’t fade. Highly recommend them.”

If it’s good enough for nearly 40,000 Amazon reviewers, it’s good enough for me.

Colors: 18 options

Sizes: 8 options

Material: Turkish cotton

Dimensions: 27 inches x 54 inches (for regular bath towel size)

Customer review: “I will rummage past all other washcloths in the linen cupboard to search for one of these. They are honestly about 2 times as thick as a normal washcloth and 3 times as thick as a cheap washcloth! And so soft. It’s a little luxury that is priced right!”

I personally swear by hair wraps—so much so that I even travel with one to save the trouble of calling for extras.

Colors: Multi

Sizes: OS

Material: Microfiber

Dimensions: 11 inches x 28 inches

Customer review: “Easy to use. Keeps hair securely out of the way while drying off and getting dressed. Very absorbent, no more dripping wet hair leaving water marks on clothes! I had one of these and loved it so I bought these for my daughter and her family.”

Hotel spa quality for under $40? Go ahead and stock up.

Colors: 26 options

Sizes: 10 options

Material: Cotton

Dimensions: 30 inches x 54 inches (for regular bath towel size)

Customer review: “Bought these Trident One Cotton towels because I already have a set and they are terrific. Have tried several others off Amazon and from stores, and these beat them all. I have washed them dozens of times, and they are still absorbent and soft.”

If you gravitate away from super thick, plushy towels in favor of uber-functional, highly-absorbent ones, these are for you.

Colors: 9 options

Sizes: OS

Material: Cotton

Dimensions: 30 inches x 60 inches

Customer review: “I have been on the hunt for the best bath towels and have tried many different ones, including highly rated Brooklinen towels, and these have been my favorite...thick towels may feel luxurious, but they don’t dry easily between uses and build up a smell easily. These towels are soft, absorbent, and dry easily between uses.”

Just leave it to Martha, okay?

Colors: 12 options

Sizes: Two-piece or six-piece sets

Material: Cotton

Dimensions: 30 inches x 54 inches

Customer review: “If you like fast drying towels, these are so practical, plus soft.”

Everybody and their mother loves Brooklinen. Just join the bandwagon already!

Colors: Smoke or White

Sizes: Bath sheet, bath towel, hand towel, or washcloth

Material: Turkish cotton

Dimensions: 30 inches x 58 inches

Customer review: “After our first use we LOVED these towels! They’re super soft and absorb water instantly. I now appreciate the thinness too, since they dry quickly overnight and aren’t damp in the mornings.”

You’ll love these towels so much you might even buy them as gifts for your friends.

Colors: 14 options

Sizes: 6 options

Material: 27 inches x 54 inches

Dimensions: Cotton

Customer review: “I’ve had the white set of towels for 4 YEARS, and they are the best quality towels I’ve owned ever. When compared to the wide range of Target towels, the Turkish ones blow target out of the water in durability, absorbency, fluff and washing/drying.”
