If You Don’t Have a Terry Cloth Robe, You’re Doing Cozy Wrong
Terry cloth robes are one of life’s sweetest (and most practical) luxuries. Typically made of traditional cotton, their plush, towel-like weave is super soft to the touch but works to keep you dry with plenty of absorbent layers.
And they’re not just great for helping you dry off after a shower—terry cloth robes are comfy enough to serve as an entire outfit during lazy weekends or slow mornings. And if you have a little one at home, they can make bath time a lot easier. Forget toweling off a squirmy kid and let them dry while dressed as a character or animal instead.
Whether you’re after an absorbent plush robe that can sufficiently sop up water after a hot soak or a more luxe, lightweight option suited to sitting on the couch and sipping wine, we researched plenty of cozy options that will fit your needs and budget. Once you have one, you’ll get why they’re mainstays at so many luxury hotels and spas.

Herringbone Unisex Turkish Cotton Bathrobe
Linum Home Textiles
bedbathandbeyond.com
A herringbone pattern adds extra texture to this robe, which translates to extra absorbency. It sits at mid-calf and is even plusher than it looks, thanks to an ultra thick weave that's great for holding in warmth when your house is freezing!
We love the visual interest afforded by the jacquard-weave herringbone, which also pops against the navy colorway (it comes in white and charcoal gray, too).
“THE absolute best robe I have ever had (just gave away my previous 20-year-old fave),” says one rave review. Other users agree, although also note that this unisex robe runs slightly large.

We love Snowe Home for its luxe linens, so it's no surprise that this classic terry cloth bathrobe is equally cozy. Its super fluffy feel immediately soaks up moisture, and after a steamy shower, its airy composition dries off incredibly fast.

Hydro Cotton Terry Robe
Nordstrom
nordstrom.com
$99.00
This long Turkish cotton robe isn't only absorbent — it keeps you warm on cool days, too. The fabric is made of fine little loops that help soak up water, and because they're so small, the loops don't snag on sharper objects like a traditional terrycloth robe might.
Customers like how this “perfect” terry cloth robe is substantial but not overwhelming. “I love it because it reminds me of the nice robes you find in luxury hotels — thick but not so thick in the neck area where I feel like I’m drowning in it,” says one 5-star review.

Air Weight Organic Bath Wrap
Coyuchi
coyuchi.com
$50.00
Not everyone wants a long robe, and for those that would rather keep things more in the towel end of things, this one fits the bill. This short robe is more of a wrap than it is a robe, as it has no sleeves, but it still serves the purpose of drying you off and keeping you warm and covered when you need it. There's a button closure to keep it from falling off, too.
Twill-woven cotton provides this wrap with super-absorbent texture, and elastic and buttons around the bust make the wrap adjustable. And it has a pocket!
People love the “luxurious quality and completely nontoxic” wrap, saying, “This is the perfect towel to wear in the home or at the gym after the shower! It’s extremely comfortable and the buttons keep [things] secure ... this ... is the best after shower towels.”

White Gravity X Modernist
potterybarn.com
$130.00
We all love a cozy weighted blanket and love how it can aid in relaxation, so what if you could just wear one around all day? Well. enter this robe collab from White Gravity and Modernist.
It has a 3-pound wrap collar that simulates deep touch around your shoulders and neck without feeling super heavy. It's also made from absorbent terry cloth, so you can toss it on fresh out of the shower. The weighted inner can also be removed via a zipper, giving you more flexibility (and making it wash-friendly!).

Flower Cotton Bathrobe
Dusen Dusen
nordstrom.com
$138.00
Who says a robe has to be boring? This punchy pattern proves that a bathrobe can be a statement piece in your wardrobe ... even if you're only wearing it inside the house.
The sizing is pretty inclusive, coming in XS to 3XL, and there are tons of other patterns to choose from if graphic flowers aren't your thing (their signature multistriped print infuses an extra dose of personality to a plain bathroom rung!).

Classic Organic Cotton Bathrobe
Tekla
nordstrom.com
$164.00
You can never go wrong with a simple stripe pattern, especially in a terry cloth robe. This unisex one from Tekla is made from organic cotton to boot, which only adds to its softness. We're big fans of the two front pockets (for holding your phone and anything else you have), and the thick sash that's easy to tie.
We're also big fans of this warmer-toned version — how adorable is this brown-and-white stripe?

Organic Luxe Turkish Cotton Bath Robe
Quince
onequince.com
If you’re searching for something ultra-plush, look no further than this midi-length robe. It’s made with 100% long-staple Turkish cotton that other high-price options are made from but rings in at nearly half the cost.
Plus, this “full, soft, warm, cool, perfect!” robe comes with a 365-day return period — a window that largely speaks to the quality of this robe! If you're feeling extra bougie, you can even add a pair of matching slippers to your cart for half-price when you get the robe.

Classic Turkish Cotton Robe
Parachute
parachutehome.com
You might have heard of Parachute for their luxurious sheets and bedding, but their towels and robes are just as high-quality.
Made from 100% Turkish cotton in a medium weight, the Classic Turkish Cotton Robe is the perfect pick for year-round use (and is so popular, one sold every 15 seconds during their sale last year).
This robe is touted to have “excellent quality” and is just light enough to keep you cool during the warmer months, but also heavy enough to keep you warm in cooler temps and has a super plush feel and mid-calf length.
Many rave reviews can't stop gushing about how this robe is "high quality, luxuriously plush, and very warm."

Classic Hooded Bathrobe
Arus
amazon.com
$45.99
After a shower, wrap yourself in Turkish terry comfort with a plush hooded bathrobe that will soak up freshly washed, sopping strands (it's "just the ticket" for post-showering, says one user). Simply pull up the hood to keep yourself extra warm and cut your hair drying time down.
A longer silhouette drops down just below the knees, and two side pockets will keep your phone dry and secure when your whole bathroom gets steamy — or if you plan to use this after a soak in your hot tub.

Unisex Waffle Terry Robe
The White Company
thewhitecompany.com
While a tight waffle weave is super spa-like, it isn't a common texture for terry cloth robes. This robe, however, has a distinctive textured cotton waffle weave on the outside with soft terry cotton on the inside, so it looks less bulky than a traditional robe. It's incredibly soft, too.
Reviews call out that this robe has the “perfect length and weight,” love that it’s not too heavy, and praise its “excellent quality and design.”

While it's a little pricey, it's made from high-quality cotton, and the top-notch construction means it's built to last. One reviewer said she's had her robe for almost 20 years! If you're going to wear something that long, you might as well invest in it.

Micro French Terry Organic Robe
Skin
shopbop.com
Unlike bulkier terry cloth bathrobes that are fairly unflattering to the figure, this slim-style silhouette is ideal for wearing while drying off post-shower or putting makeup on pre-party.
A self-tie belt cinches the waist at just the right spot, and double-sided slip pockets offer added function without leaving too much extra fabric hanging around your midsection. Makes an elegant bridesmaid gift, too.
