There’s no greater luxury than getting out of the shower and wrapping a soft, cozy towel around you.
However, as plus-size person myself, I can tell you that finding a towel that fits right isn’t easy. When I scrolled by a video on TikTok from creator Mary Fran, I was reminded of how frustrating it can be to stand in the towel aisle at a big box store and try on towels in hopes of finding the right one.

A standard bath towel is 56 inches long. A bath sheet, which is the next size up, measures roughly 70 inches long. Based on average U.S. clothing measurements, a bath sheet should cover up to a women’s size 30 or 4X and and a men’s size 5X.
Because clothing sizes for both women and men can vary wildly across brands, bath sheets will work for those whose widest body measurement is around 65 inches, give or take a couple inches.
For people whose measurements are wider than 65 inches and wear up to a women’s size 40 or a men’s size 8X, go for a bath towel that measures up to 80 inches long.
Because everyone out there deserves some spa-like comfort, here are the best extra large bath towels that are plus-size friendly.
Up to women’s size 30/men’s size 5X
1. Pinzon Organic Cotton Bath Sheet
Don’t be deterred by organic cotton that can tend to be stiff and scratchy. These towels are one of our favorites because they have the balance of softness, absorption, and affordability. They come in a 2-pack from Amazon and are 100% cotton.
Providing you with plenty of absorption and staying plush to the touch, these towels measure in at 40 by 70 inches, so they’ll wrap around you nicely as you dry off.
2. Parachute Classic Bath Sheets
Our favorite bath towels from Parachute come in a plus-size friendly option with a bath sheet that measures 40 inches wide by 70 inches long. The highly-absorbent Turkish cotton material is wonderful for wicking away water quickly after a shower or bath.
While these bath towels may cost more than other options, they are a worthy investment if you’re interested in adding luxury to your bathroom.
3. Utopia Towels Bath Sheet Set
If you like a thinner but nonetheless absorbent and effective towel, the Utopia Towels line of bath sheets is a fan-favorite on Amazon with over 26,000 reviews. They’re 100 percent cotton and designed to be lightweight for those looking for something less heavy.
Reviewers love the large size (35 inches wide by 70 inches long) and the durable design that holds up in the washing machine.
4. Brooklinen Beach Towel
If white towels aren't your thing, Brooklinen's towels come in bold designs. The beach towel collection features playful designs by independent artists.
They're thicker than Brooklinen's standard towel for an extra-plush flush feel. At 70 inches long, they'll be super cozy to bundle up in post-shower.
5. Frontgate Resort Bath Sheets
Frontgate is a luxury linen brand that wants to bring the opulence of a hotel to your home. This bath towel is 72 inches long, slightly longer than the standard 70 inches. The Frontgate Bath Sheets are available in four colors.
The extra length offers even more plushness to transform your bathroom routine into a full-on spa-like experience.
6. Boll & Branch Plush Bath Sheet
Boll & Branch makes bath sheets that are 36 inches wide by 70 inches long and come in a variety of muted neutral colors to cultivate a calm and peaceful bathroom experience.
The towels are made of organic, fair trade cotton that feels like a cozy hug.
7. Reversible Striped Beach Towel Set
These towels from Target’s SunSquad line are a fantastic option for a colorful, plush towel. They come in a bright print to bring some vibrancy to your bathroom.
These measure 36 inches wide by 72 inches long, so they’re slightly longer than a bath sheet and one of the larger options in our round-up.
You will love wrapping yourself up in the cozy colors of this Target beach towel.
Up to women’s size 40/men’s size 8X
8. Gilden Tree Waffle Weave Bath Sheet
Waffle weave towels don’t have the same velvety plushness of your standard bath towel. Instead they’re an airy option that feels light on the skin while still providing some great absorbency thanks to the 100% cotton weave.
These towels are 80 inches long, accommodating to a wide range of bodies.
A perk of waffle weave towels is how little space they take up when folded. Because they don’t have the plushness of a regular towel, they’ll stay compact when folded making them a great option for small spaces.
9. Classic Turkish Bath Sheet
Measuring 40 inches wide by 80 inches long, these luxe towels are soft and plush and crafted from 100% Turkish cotton.
They're perfect to bring beach-side when you want to stretch out on the sand, but they're equally as delightful to wrap yourself in post-shower.
Bringing these towels into your home will give your bathroom the at-home spa experience.
10. American Soft Linen Oversized Bath Towel
These towels are 80 inches in length and have all the thick plumpness of a cloud. With over 25,000 rave reviews, this oversized bath towel is absorbent yet soft.
They’re accommodating for all body types so that anyone can wrap themselves up in this towel while getting dried off after the shower.
These extra-large bath towels dry quickly and will hold up exceptionally well over time.
