Beach Towels

What is a good size for a beach towel?

• What is going to be the perfect sized beach towel is all going to depend on what you exactly are using it for. For this reason, at the Manchester Factory, we have a range of sizes to suit you!
• For those looking for a conveniently sized beach towel that's going to provide just enough room to lay out or dry yourself after a long day at the beach, we recommend having a look at our standard-sized beach towels.
• For those wanting a more generous-sized beach towel, we also offer extra-large beach towels, which are perfect for anyone wanting more sun protection or some extra space to lay out their belongings. We also carry a range of picnic rugs perfect for small groups or families wanting to spend a day out in the sun with ease.

Are microfibre beach towels good?

• Microfibre beach towels are very compact, light-weight, and fast-drying towels making them easy to carry and very convenient. One of the benefits of a microfibre beach towel is that its fibres are loop-free meaning that sand does not sit in between them, but instead remains on top of the fabric’s surface making sand very easy to shake off. 
• If this sounds exactly like what you are looking for then at the Manchester Factory we stock a collection of printed Sand Free Beach Towels, which are great for endless days at the beach. However, if you are looking for maximum absorbency out of your beach towels then we recommend you shop our Sheridan and Bambury collection.

What is the difference between a beach towel and a bath towel?

• Overall the main difference between a beach towel and a bath towel is their size. Typically, beach towels are going to be larger in size compared to bath towels as their primary purpose is to act as a barrier between you and the sand. 
• For this reason, you should be looking for a beach towel that is larger in length to yourself for ample room. Apart from this practical element, beach towels usually sport different fun, colourful and printed designs. 
• This is because they are seasonal towels and it is also a great way to be able to spot your towel in a crowd. Bath towels, however, are usually solid in colour as they are intended for all-year-round use. 
• Another key difference is the weight of beach and bath towels. To make beach towels more travel-friendly and quick-drying they are typically lighter in weight, whereas bath towels are heavier. This makes bath towels more durable to withstand daily use but also more absorbent.
