Turkish Cotton vs Terrycloth

June is finally here, which means summer is in full effect! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been anxious for the sun to make an appearance all year so you can head down to the nearest beach or pool and take advantage of those warm sun beams. What we aren’t looking forward to? Using that same, old, uncomfortable towel we’ve been using our whole lives.

Terrycloth towels are what we all grew up with. They’re familiar, they’re standard, what we all know and definitely do not love. They’re thick, scratchy and quite frankly inefficient. How many times have you dropped your towel in the pool and had to wait all day for it to dry? Isn’t that defeating the whole purpose of a towel in the first place? Towels are supposed to quickly dry you off and be used over and over again. Terrycloth towels take forever to dry after you use them or get too much water on them. They’re also uncomfortable. The looped cotton of the terrycloth, made with shorter fibers create a rough and scratchy feel. They’re also super thick, which makes them inconvenient to travel with. They take up so much room in your suitcase or beach bag and honestly just become a hassle.

So why settle for a mediocre beach towel? Why not spice things up this summer to make the most of those days near the water? I’ve recently acquired a new beach towel from a company called Sand Cloud and not only is it the cutest towel I’ve ever seen, but it is so comfortable! I literally want to take it with me everywhere I go. The secret behind these luxury beach towels? Turkish cotton.

This Turkish cotton is woven with longer fibers than your average terrycloth, which creates a stronger, softer, and more absorbent material, literally everything you could ask for in a towel. The strength of the Turkish cotton found in every Sand Cloud beach blanket gives you the reliability that you need in a towel, which means you can take it on all of your crazy summer adventures. Plus, the Turkish Cotton is so durable that you can have faith that your towel will last you for years to come. The hand-loomed, 100 percent Turkish Cotton found in each Sand Cloud towel is extremely smooth, soft, and thin, which basically means you feel like you’re laying on a cloud with this towel. It’s even softer than half of my blankets at home, so I end up bundling up with these Turkish Towels even when I’m not under the sun. Turkish Cotton also absorbs water quickly and efficiently; another benefit to taking this towel over the standard terrycloth towel down to the ocean to dry off with after a long day of surfing or swimming.

The benefits of the Turkish Cotton, along with the variety of awesome colors and patterns, makes Sand Cloud towels a must have this summer season!
