Is 550 gsm thick enough for a bath towel?

550 gsm is midweight. It feels substantial and dries faster than 600+ gsm towels, but it is less plush and slightly less absorbent than heavier options.

What comes in the six-piece set?

Two bath towels, two hand towels (16 x 28 in) and two washcloths. All pieces are 100% combed cotton in the same jacquard pattern.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

It carries Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, meaning it was tested for harmful substances. That is a materials safety check, not an allergy guarantee.

How should I wash them?

Machine wash in warm water with like colors and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener, which coats cotton fibers and reduces absorbency.

Is $31.49 a good price?

Yes. That is $31.49 at Target as of November 5, 2026, at the low end for a six-piece combed cotton set. Two stores list it new, so compare before buying.

Owners report the colors hold through repeated washing. Wash denim and rosewood separately the first time as a precaution.

Our take on the Modern Threads Pax Jacquard 6-Piece Towel Set

The Modern Threads Pax is a six-piece cotton towel set: two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths in a jacquard weave. It uses 550 gsm combed cotton, which puts it in midweight territory — plush enough to feel substantial without the long drying time of a heavy towel. The set is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified and machine washable. At $31.49 at Target as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of what a six-piece combed cotton set usually costs.
