Strategist writer Latifah Miles swears by the bath sheets from Cozy Earth, which were sent to her as a sample. Speaking of bath sheets, if you want something you can truly swathe yourself in, consider sizing up from a regular-size towel to a sheet, which is typically about 50 percent larger than a standard towel.

The brand sent me a set to test, and I was pleased with how soft, plush, and luxurious it felt. Instead of the cotton fibers being twisted, which results in a rougher hand, they’re looped (hence the term zero-twist) and therefore softer to the touch. Architectural designer Madelynn Ringo calls it “more robe than towel … incredible at soaking up water, and the threads are really durable, no snagging.” It’s made of long-staple Turkish cotton in a zero-twist loop, which contributes to the overall feel of the towel. With the highest GSM (820) on this list, Brooklinen’s Super-Plush towel is our overall favorite pick for its feel, absorbency, and value.
