I purchased the Wireless Bluetooth Headband. Frustrating from first use fiddling around with the control panel and the cabled buds inside the band. After just a few uses the control unit wouldn't charge as advertised (inside the band). Troubleshooting suggested removing from the band, did this but still would not charge. Contacted sleep solutions, sent them a short video of the charging error lights. Despite the product being less than 2 months old they sent me a pre-paid consignment note, to send the control panel & charging pad back to them - I was instructed to include a detailed explanation of the problem and of course my contact details. They would investigate and come back to me. I was also to ensure the product was packaged in a manner to prevent damage. What they should have done, given the age of the product is apologise and sent me a replacement. Unit is useless, I'll throw it out.

Quick delivery and great communication. Sound machine works perfectly for my daughters room
Guide to Choosing Bath Towels
What makes a quality bath towel, how GSM and materials affect performance, and how to choose the right towels for your bathroom.
The difference between a good bath towel and a great one comes down to three things: the material, the weight (GSM), and the construction. These factors determine how soft the towel feels, how much water it absorbs, how quickly it dries, and how long it lasts through repeated washing. This guide covers what to look for and what distinguishes the materials and brands in the range.
What to Look For
The key factors that separate a towel you reach for every day from one that stays in the cupboard.
-
Material - the type of cotton (or blend) determines softness, absorbency, and longevity. Egyptian cotton, Turkish cotton, and bamboo blends each offer distinct benefits. -
GSM (weight) - grams per square metre measures fabric density. Higher GSM means thicker and more absorbent; lower GSM means lighter and faster drying. The right GSM depends on how and where you use the towel. -
Construction - zero-twist yarns create softer, fluffier towels that dry faster. Standard twisted yarns are more durable and structured. Technologies like Hygro™ combine the best of both. -
Size - from face cloths to oversized bath sheets, most collections offer a full range of sizes so you can build a matching set for the entire bathroom. -
Drying speed - in Australian conditions, towels that dry quickly between uses stay fresher for longer. Quick-dry technologies and lower GSM weights help in humid climates.
Understanding GSM - Towel Weight
GSM stands for grams per square metre - it measures how dense and heavy the towel fabric is. A higher GSM means a thicker, more absorbent towel. A lower GSM means a lighter towel that dries faster. Neither is inherently better - the right GSM depends on how and where the towel is used.
Tap a Weight Range
See what each GSM range is best suited for.
300–400 GSM - Lightweight
Thin, quick-drying towels. Great for gym towels, guest towels, or humid climates where fast drying matters most. These towels feel light in-hand and take up less space on towel rails and in the linen cupboard.
400–600 GSM - Mid-weight
The most versatile range for everyday use. Soft and absorbent with a reasonable drying time. This is where most quality bath towels sit - a good balance between plushness and practicality for Australian bathrooms.
600–800 GSM - Luxury
Thick, plush, and hotel-quality. Maximum absorbency and an indulgent feel. These towels take longer to dry, so they work best in well-ventilated bathrooms or when tumble-dried. The Sheridan Ultimate Indulgence at 800 GSM and Renee Taylor Cambridge at 650 GSM sit in this range.
Towel Materials
The fibre type is the single biggest factor in how a towel feels and performs. Tap a material to learn more, or scroll down for the full comparison table.
Egyptian Cotton
Extra-long staple fibres from the Nile Valley produce a smoother, stronger yarn that absorbs more water and gets softer with every wash. Naturally breathable. More durable than standard cotton - retains its quality through years of use. Combed and ring-spun for a refined, pill-resistant finish.
Turkish Cotton
Long-staple cotton sourced from the Aegean region. Dense and plush with excellent absorbency. Available at 800 GSM in this range for a heavy, indulgent hotel-quality feel. Dries slightly faster than Egyptian cotton due to its fibre structure.
Bamboo Cotton Blend
Bamboo fibre blended with combed long-staple cotton (65% bamboo / 35% cotton in this range). Naturally antibacterial and odour-resistant - stays fresher between washes. Exceptionally soft with a silky hand feel. A good choice for sensitive skin. Bamboo is a sustainable, fast-growing renewable resource.
Zero Twist vs Standard Twist
The “twist” in a towel refers to how tightly the cotton yarns are spun. This has a noticeable effect on the towel’s feel and performance.
Standard Twist
Yarns are spun tightly together. This produces a durable, structured towel with good absorbency. Holds its shape well over many washes but can feel firmer, especially when new.
Zero Twist / Low Twist
Yarns are left untwisted or loosely twisted. Creates a softer, fluffier towel that feels plush from the first use. Absorbs water faster and dries more quickly because the open loop structure allows greater airflow.
Hygro™ Technology
Hygro™ (used by Sheridan) is a proprietary zero-twist spinning technique that captures water faster while maintaining durability. The result is a towel that is both exceptionally soft and quick to dry - addressing the typical trade-off of zero-twist construction.
Towel Sizes
Most towel collections in the range are available across all four sizes, making it easy to build a matching set for the entire bathroom.
| Size | Typical Dimensions | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Face Cloth | ~33 × 33 cm | Face washing, cleansing. Small and easy to wash frequently |
| Hand Towel | ~40 × 70 cm | Hand drying beside basins and sinks. The most frequently used and washed towel |
| Bath Towel | ~70 × 140 cm | Full body drying after a shower or bath. The standard everyday towel |
| Bath Sheet | ~90 × 160 cm | Larger format for full-body wrapping. More coverage, suited to taller people |

Care & Washing
Proper care makes a significant difference to how long towels stay soft, absorbent, and fresh.
Wash Before
First Use
Removes manufacturing finishes and allows fibres to open up for full absorbency.
Wash at
40°C
Warm water cleans effectively without damaging fibres. Avoid hot water which can shrink cotton.
Skip
the Softener
Fabric softener coats fibres and reduces absorbency. Use white vinegar in the rinse cycle instead.
Tumble Dry
Medium
Tumble drying restores fluffy loft. Avoid high heat. Line drying also works well.
Replace Every
2-3 Years
Towels lose absorbency over time as fibres break down. If a towel smells musty despite washing, replace it.
Why do new towels feel less absorbent?
Manufacturing finishes (especially silicone-based softeners) make towels feel smooth in-store but reduce water absorption. This is normal and resolves after 2–3 washes. Washing before first use is essential - not optional.

Bath Towels Information
Choosing the right bath towel can enhance your daily routine, combining practicality with a touch of luxury.
Bath towels are a staple in every bathroom, offering a balance of comfort, absorbency, and durability. Designed to quickly dry your body after a bath or shower, they come in various materials like cotton, bamboo, and microfibre, each with its unique benefits. High-quality bath towels not only absorb moisture effectively but also provide a soft, comfortable feel against your skin, making your post-shower experience more enjoyable.
When selecting bath towels, consider the following:
- Material: Cotton towels are known for their softness and absorbency, while bamboo options offer natural antibacterial properties. Microfibre towels are lightweight and quick-drying.
- GSM (grams per square metre): Higher GSM towels are thicker and more absorbent but may take longer to dry.
- Durability: Look for towels with strong, double-stitched edges to ensure they last through frequent use and washing.
When choosing a bath robe, consider:
- GSM (grams per square metre): Higher GSM provides more warmth but may feel heavier.
- Features: Pockets, hoods, and adjustable belts add convenience and functionality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What GSM should I choose?
For everyday bathroom use, 400-600 GSM is the most practical range - soft and absorbent with reasonable drying time. For a thick, hotel-quality feel, look at 600–800 GSM (like the Sheridan Ultimate Indulgence at 800 GSM or Renee Taylor Cambridge at 650 GSM). Higher GSM towels take longer to dry, so they work best in well-ventilated bathrooms or when tumble-dried.
What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
A bath towel (~70 x 140 cm) is the standard size for drying off. A bath sheet (~90 x 160 cm) is significantly larger - big enough to wrap around the body comfortably. Bath sheets suit taller people or anyone who prefers more coverage. Most collections offer both sizes in matching colours.
Is Egyptian cotton or Turkish cotton better?
Both are premium long-staple cottons - the difference is subtle. Egyptian cotton is known for getting progressively softer with each wash, developing a plush, broken-in feel over time. Turkish cotton tends to feel dense and plush from the first use and dries slightly faster. The Sheridan range includes both, so the choice comes down to personal preference for feel and weight.
Are bamboo towels better than cotton?
They serve different needs. Bamboo-cotton blends (like the Renee Taylor Stella) are naturally antibacterial, resist odours, and are exceptionally soft - making them a good choice for sensitive skin or bathrooms where towels don't dry quickly. Pure cotton towels (especially Egyptian and Turkish) are generally more absorbent and durable over the long term. Bamboo blends are also a more sustainable option for environmentally conscious buyers.
How many towels do I need?
A practical starting point is 3 bath towels per person - one in use, one in the wash, and one in the cupboard. Add 2 hand towels per bathroom and a set of face cloths. Guest towels can be a separate, lighter set. Buying from the same collection ensures a cohesive look if towels are displayed on rails or shelves.
