Products & sizes

What is the difference between a hamam towel and a sauna towel?

Hamam towels are flat-woven, light and dry quickly – ideal for sauna, beach and travel. Sauna towels are usually larger and offer plenty of space to lie on. More in our material guide.

What size should my sauna towel be?

In the sauna you lie completely on the towel. Up to about 1.70 m body height, a towel length of 175 cm is enough; up to 1.85 m better 180–200 cm; above that from 200 cm. All details in our size and care guide.

Which bathrobe size fits me?

A sauna bathrobe can fit loosely so you can easily put it on and take it off with damp skin. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one. The size chart is on every bathrobe product page.

Care

How do I wash my hamam towel?

Wash it once before first use – this brings out its absorbency. Wash at 30 °C, do not use fabric softener and ideally let it air dry. Pure cotton can shrink slightly in the first wash.

How do I care for my sauna towel and bathrobe?

Wash once before first use, at the temperature on the label, lights and darks separately, without fabric softener. Let it dry well after the sauna and do not leave it damp in your bag.
