Buying New Towels: Why the Right Collection Makes All the Difference
Anyone looking to buy new towels will quickly realize that high-quality terry towels often look similar at first glance. The differences usually only become apparent with daily use. The texture, material composition, weight, and design all influence how comfortable a towel feels and how well it suits your personal habits.
The VOSSEN collections also have different areas of emphasis. Some focus on a particular feel against the skin, while others emphasize sustainable materials or minimalist design. This overview will help you understand the key differences and find the collection that best suits your preferences.
How do the VOSSEN towel collections differ from one another?
All VOSSEN terry towels are designed and manufactured in Jennersdorf, Austria. Manufacturing at our own facility ensures a short process chain between design and production, as well as consistent quality control. High-quality cotton, durable construction, and responsible use of resources form the common foundation of all our collections.
The differences, therefore, do not lie in the fundamental quality, but in their focus. Four simple questions can help with the selection:
- Do you want the towel to feel especially soft and fluffy?
- Do you prefer a lighter or a more voluminous terry cloth?
- What colors and designs work well in a bathroom?
- Do sustainable materials or manufacturing processes play a particularly important role?

What does the weight per square meter mean for towels?
When buying high-quality towels, you'll often see the measurement "g/m²." This describes the weight of the terry cloth per square meter and gives an indication of how dense and voluminous a towel feels.
The VOSSEN collections range from 540 to 620 g/m², placing them overall in the high-quality category. However, a higher weight does not automatically mean it’s the better choice. It primarily describes the texture. Equally important are the yarn used, the material composition, and the manufacturing process. That’s why two terry towels with similar weights can feel different in everyday use.
