When buying bath towels, it's important to choose something that is soft, durable, and can resist shrinkage, or you'll always be purchasing replacements. So, you definitely don't want cheap towels, but you probably don't want (or need!) to spend a lot of money, either. Fear not—we found eight budget-friendly bath towels that are cost effective but look and feel way more luxe than their low price might suggest. Check them out below, and get ready to upgrade your bathroom for way less.

Bed Bath & Beyond

If you want to add a splash of color to your bathroom, consider the Wamsutta Hygro Duet Bath Towel. It's available in 28 colors, including paprika, pear, teal, mimosa, forest, and cameo blue (but my personal favorite is the grape color!). The 100 percent hygro twist loops provide an ultra-soft feel on one side and 2-ply absorbent terry cloth on the other side, and it won't lose its shape or color after multiple washes. It also happens to be our top pick for the best budget-friendly bath towel.

Home Depot

One surprising source for budget bath towels? Home Depot, which sells this set of two towels for under $20. Made of a cotton/poly blend, they are designed to wick away moisture quickly so they'll dry faster whether in the dryer or on your towel rack. There's also a loop so you can hang them on hooks to save space.

Walmart

Lovers of heavy and luxurious bath towels will appreciate this plush bath towel from Walmart. The extra soft absorbent cotton, made with TruLoft yarn technology and a double stitch side hem, ensures that the towel will remain durable and retain its shape through numerous laundry cycles. It's also available in almost two dozen colors, including arctic white, cherry blossom, green lily, soft silver, and yellow sundial.

Target

The Made By Design bath towel is a solid option that comes with approval from AT editors. Made of terry cloth, it's designed to be both soft and absorbent, and the border at both the top and bottom adds a stylish touch that makes it look more expensive than it is. It has a medium weight and also includes a hanging loop, plus comes in a variety of colors like dark gray, aqua, cream, blue, and white.

Macy's

Created for Macy's, this quick dry reversible bath towel from the Martha Stewart Collection is lightweight, meaning it has a faster drying time whether air drying or in the dryer. Made of 100 percent cotton, the 52" x 27" towel also reverses to a solid terry fabric. The aqua glass color blends well in any bathroom, but it also comes in eight other hues ranging from neutral to bright and cheerful.

Amazon

If you need to buy several towels, consider this 4-piece bath towel set from Amazon, on sale right now for just $40. These 100 percent Turkish cotton towels have over 2,000 5-star reviews thanks to their lighter weight, quick-drying abilities, and all around soft feel, and come in four different colors: cool gray, sea salt, green water, and white.

Bed Bath & Beyond

Not everyone likes bands on their towels, and if you're one of those people, consider this bandless quick dry bath towel from Bed Bath & Beyond. It measures 54" x 30" and has a single ply design with zero twist yarns, making it not only soft, but also very absorbent. In addition to the soft iris color shown above, it's also available in 10 other hues, including bright white, alloy, mineral, and olive.

Target

You'll be hard-pressed to find a better value than this solid bath towel sold by Target. Made of 100 percent terry cotton, the midweight fabric is comfortable and dries quickly, plus comes in 10 different colors, including yellow, navy blue, charcoal gray, black, and tan. At just $4 each, you definitely won't feel bad upgrading your entire bathroom with a couple of these!
