  Towels that don’t suck

  I had some Matouks gifted to me as a housewarming present and they are AMAZING. Better than any towel I’ve had even in super luxury hotels. They’ve held up after washing too. They are so good I got a Matouk bathrobe too. It sounds silly, but using those towels and that robe are definitely a simple highlight of my mornings.

  Duvet cover recommendations

  I know it's a long shot but I got a bunch of linen matouk at my tjmaxx and it's been amazing Maybe check yours and see if you can get lucky. There was one matching set of a duvet and sheet set.

  Plush Towels - 1 Year Review (Matouk/Abyss/Macy's/Pendleton)

  Not super sure, but I'm imagining finest elegance. But I added the towel choices, and my initial impressions of them in 2 comments at the same depth as you, thought I'd share

  Plush Towels - 1 Year Review (Matouk/Abyss/Macy's/Pendleton)

  I purchased/received the sculpted chain link, ultimate microcotton, Turkish cotton, and finest elegance turkish cotton. I have not washed them yet, but surface level feels. TLDR ratings: Microcotton/Sculpted: 4/10 Turkish Cotton: 7/10 Finest Elegance Luxury Turkish Cotton: 10/10 The following are all based on the unwashed/unused towels, idk how absorbency is yet: The sculpted chain link is probably the least special. Its tied for cheapest with the microcotton, and their softness/thickness is within placebo range for me (but maybe microcotton is a tiny bit softer). But if you're deciding between these two, it really comes down to sizing and color choice options - chainlink only has towel size and fewer colors. For Turkish Cotton (calling this 'regular') vs Finest Elegance Luxury Turkish Cotton calling this ('finest'), the finest is night-and-day softer to the touch than regular. The regular is still soft, and noticeably softer than microcotton, but the difference between microcotton --> regular is smaller than the upgrade from regular --> finest. There's not an obvious difference to me in the thickness/plushness/weight of them, but I'm sure it affects absorbency or dry time a bit. If I were to recommend a trial setup for me in the past (recall that regular was 21/35, and finest 28/35, for towel/sheet - black friday), I would have just done a Regular turkish towel, and a Finest sheet. And if you want to trial microcotton/sculpted for the full lineup, they feel almost the same, so just pick one \[based on looks\] in towel size for $13. So my opinion, if you're just going to yolo based off reddit comments, if you're on a fairly tight budget, just get microcotton/sculpted TOWELS \[choose on looks\] since they're the cheapest and still okay. If you're on a tight budget but need a few sheets, just get the microcotton SHEETS. I would then only get the turkish cotton TOWELS if you still want something good without completely splurging. If you don't really care about the money, just get the finest elegance ones in your preferred size. As for how the regular/finest macy's turkish compares to some other premium brands, on unwashed towels: Abyss Superline: Regular is softer, but I heard abyss gets better the more you wash it, 8/10 currently Hudson Park Collection - Luxe Turkish: Almost as soft as finest, 9/10 Matouk Milagro: Between regular/finest, 9/10 Brooklinen Plush: Between regular/finest, 8.5/10 Lands' end Premium Supima: Almost as soft as finest, 9/10 I don't have a lotus, but I'm guessing based on the OP that its very similar to the finest elegance. I imagine some of these ratings will change with washing/use, will try to update

  What BIFL items would you add to your wedding registry?

  Miele vacuum, yeti ice chest, Matouk towels, wooden hangers, especially ones with rounded shoulder areas. Might seem silly, but “his and hers” Victorinox Swiss Army knives, I use mine almost daily and have gifted many as wedding gifts. You can get them engraved, which is fun. Or, ask for Leathermens, this is another I gift but to couples who are more outdoorsy.

  Looking for the best duvet covers

  Feathered Friends is a great pick!! For crisp cotton percale, check out Parachute, Brooklinen, or Coyuchi. And yeah.. TJMaxx can be a goldmine. I snagged a Matouk for $250 once. Totally worth checking!!

  Looking for the best duvet covers

  I'll toss out that I was lucky enough to find a matouk duvet for $250 recently at tjmaxx. I would suggest checking there just to see if you get lucky as well.

  Luxury Towels: Matouk, Abyss, Restoration Hardware?

  It’s nice, but I’m not 100% sure that it’s $122-$225 nice. I’m also trying a few others, including the Matouk Lotus (it’s more plush but less soft and takes ages to try), the Matouk Cairo (hasn’t arrived yet, but the swatch feels very promising — only problem is that they only make it in white), and some Turkish towels with modal in them. It may be that my expectations were too high relative to the price — the towel is lighter and not as thick as I had thought it would be. That said, I am warming up to it and may have a much more positive opinion in a few months once I’ve had time to compare it to other luxury brands and really experience it over time. One thing you could do is order one of the hand towels (or even a free swatch from Fine Linen + Bath, but it’s kind of hard to tell from those little pieces) to see if you think it’s worthwhile before committing to the much more expensive towels.

  BIFL towel recommendations?

  We use Matouk towels. They sometimes go on sale if you set alerts for them. They’re fluffy and soft, and they’ve been that way after years of use.

  BIFL towel recommendations?

  We love our Matouk towels. Ours are at least decade old and look and feel almost like new. Thick and soft. Bloomingdale’s carries the whole line.
