Is $31.49 a good price for this towel set?

Yes. At $31.49 at Target as of November 5, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range across the five stores that carry it. That works out to about $5.25 per towel.

What is included in the six-piece set?

The set is sold as six bath towels, each 27 by 54 inches. Confirm the breakdown on the listing before buying if you want a mix of bath, hand and wash towels.

How does 550 gsm compare with other towels?

550 gsm is in the heavyweight range, so the towels feel denser and more absorbent than typical 400 to 500 gsm sets. The trade-off is a longer dry time.

Are these towels good for sensitive skin?

They are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and made of combed cotton without plastic yarns, which suits most sensitive skin. Wash before first use to remove any sizing.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash and tumble dry. Skip fabric softener, which coats cotton fibers and reduces absorbency, and wash whites separately to slow dulling.

Modern Threads markets them as low-linting, and owners generally agree they leave less lint than other cotton towels. Expect some lint in the first wash or two.
