The best bathrobes

A robe is a towel you can wear, and the same rules apply: the weave decides how it feels, how heavy it hangs, and how fast it dries.

By Sawyer V. · · How we research

A bathrobe hanging in a bathroom

The short answer

Buy the Parachute Cloud Cotton Robe: four-ply Turkish cotton gauze, sizes XS to 3X in lengths of 41 to 45.5 in., two hidden pockets and OEKO-TEX certification. For something lighter with a hood, ONSEN’s Supima waffle robe is published as 30% lighter than terry.

Gauze, waffle or heavier cotton

The weave decides most of what you will notice. Gauze, like the Cloud Cotton, is layers of fine open fabric. Waffle, like the ONSEN and Coyuchi robes, is a honeycomb weave; ONSEN publishes its waffle as 30% lighter than terry. Heavier cotton, like the Classic Turkish at 450 GSM, is what most people picture as a hotel robe.

Lighter robes suit warm bathrooms and quick changes. Heavier ones are for lounging.

Length and sizing

  • Parachute Cloud Cotton: 41 to 45.5 in., XS to 3X.
  • Parachute Classic Turkish: 44.5 to 48.5 in., XS to 3X.
  • Coyuchi Organic Waffle: 46 to 52 in., XS/S to XXL.
  • ONSEN Supima Waffle: small, medium and large; no length published.

Measure a robe or coat you already like from the base of the neck to the hem, and compare.

Pockets, ties and hoods

Every robe here has pockets and a tie. The ONSEN is the only one with a hood. Coyuchi publishes double belt loops, which keep the tie in place.

Certifications

Parachute and ONSEN publish OEKO-TEX certification, which covers testing for harmful substances. Coyuchi publishes GOTS, which certifies the cotton as organic. If organic matters to you, only the Coyuchi publishes it here.

Returns matter more than usual

Sizing a robe online is guesswork, so the return policy is part of the product. ONSEN publishes a 60-day return and exchange policy. Parachute marks its Classic Turkish robe as final sale. Check the terms before you buy.

Where to hang it

A robe dries best spread out, not bunched on a small hook. Robe hooks with published load ratings are here, and if you want it warm when you step out, some towel warmers are sized for robes.

If you rent

Nothing to install, so every robe here rates Safe on our install rating.

Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe

The one to skip

Classic Turkish Cotton Robe

Parachute · Classic Turkish Cotton Robe · best for anyone who finds it in stock and is sure of the size

450 GSM Turkish cotton with a shawl collar — sold out in every size, and marked final sale.

On paper, the Parachute Classic Turkish Cotton Robe is a good robe.

Parachute publishes “450 grams per square meter”, lengths of 44.5 to 48.5 in., and “Two slouchy front pockets, a snug waist tie and cozy shawl collar”.

The problem is the terms. Every size was sold out on Parachute’s store when we checked, and the listing is marked “FINAL SALE”, which means no returns. A robe is a garment you need to try on; buying one you cannot send back, in a size you cannot check, is the wrong risk. The Cloud Cotton is the Parachute robe to buy.
