Quilted Northern Ultra Plush Toilet Paper vs Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Toilet Paper

Buy Quilted Northern Ultra Plush if softness is your top priority: its three plies feel plusher than Cottonelle's two, and owners consistently call it one of the softest rolls sold. Buy Cottonelle Ultra Comfort if you want a strong, low-lint two-ply that cleans well and holds up when wet. Both are septic safe and unscented; the real split is plushness versus a firmer, more durable sheet.

• Choose the Quilted Northern Ultra Plush if you want the softest sheet in this pair and don't mind a thicker three-ply roll.
• Choose the Cottonelle Ultra Comfort if you prefer a strong, low-lint two-ply that resists shredding and tears cleanly.
