How to choose a beach towel
Who it's for: anyone who wants a towel big enough to lie on full length at the beach or the pool, and one that holds up summer after summer. The House of Dune Beach Towel is an oversized 100% cotton towel at 630 GSM.
What to look for, and how the Beach Towel measures up
- Material: 100% cotton.
- Weight (GSM): GSM means grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric. A higher number means a denser, heavier towel. The Beach Towel is 630 GSM.
- Size: about 180 × 104 cm, long enough to lie on.
- Carry weight: about 1.1 kg. That's the trade-off of a dense towel: it takes more room in the beach bag than a thin one.
- Design: a reversible two-tone check, embroidered on both sides, in Sand Drift or Salted Sage.
- Buying for more than one? The Beach Towel Set comes in sets of 2, 4 or 6.

Beach towel questions
+What GSM is good for a beach towel?
GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric. A higher GSM means a denser, heavier towel; a lower GSM means a lighter one that packs smaller. It's a choice between plush and packable. The House of Dune Beach Towel is 630 GSM, 100% cotton, about 180 × 104 cm and about 1.1 kg.
+What material makes a good beach towel?
Most beach towels are cotton, cotton blends, Turkish-style flat weaves or microfibre, and each suits a different day. The House of Dune Beach Towel is 100% cotton at 630 GSM, so it's a dense, soft towel to lie on rather than a light one to stuff in a backpack. It's reversible, in a two-tone check.
+What size is an oversized beach towel?
There's no fixed standard, but an oversized beach towel is generally long enough for an adult to lie on full length. The House of Dune Beach Towel measures about 180 × 104 cm and weighs about 1.1 kg, in 100% cotton at 630 GSM. It also comes in sets of 2, 4 or 6.
+Are cotton beach towels good?
Cotton is soft against the skin and comfortable to lie on, which is why the House of Dune Beach Towel is 100% cotton at 630 GSM. The trade-off of a dense cotton towel is weight: ours is about 1.1 kg at about 180 × 104 cm, so it takes more room in the beach bag than a thin towel.
