The featured Epitex UK Chelsea, Madison and Mayfair collections list hand towels at 50 × 90 cm, bath towels at 67 × 135 cm and bath sheets at 100 × 150 cm. These are the dimensions of these named ranges; they are not a universal UK towel standard. Check other catalogue products individually.
| Towel type | Size | Typical allocation |
|---|---|---|
| Hand towel | 50 × 90 cm | Hand drying at the basin |
| Bath towel | 67 × 135 cm | Guest bathing |
| Bath sheet | 100 × 150 cm | Larger guest towel option |
Bath towel or bath sheet?
A bath sheet provides more coverage than the featured bath towel. It also takes more storage space and, at the same GSM and construction, contains more fabric. Choose your room allocation around guest expectations, shelf space and laundry throughput. Do not substitute a bath sheet for a bath mat; check the separate bath mat range.
Compare size and GSM together
Chelsea is 500 GSM, Madison is 600 GSM and Mayfair is 650 GSM. GSM measures fabric weight per square metre. Comparing a small heavy towel with a larger lighter towel using GSM alone can mislead your laundry planning. Read the GSM guide and range comparison before selecting a collection.
Convert your room allocation into an order
For ten rooms with two bath towels per room and a three-par allowance, plan 10 × 2 × 3 = 60 bath towels. Calculate hand towels and mats separately and adjust for your actual laundry turnaround. The featured towel ranges have listed packs starting at 12 pieces per selected size. Basket quantity means packs, so five 12-piece packs contain 60 towels; confirm the available size and pack combination in the selector.

Frequently asked questions
Are UK hotel towel sizes standardised?
Dimensions vary by supplier and collection. The featured Epitex ranges list hand towels at 50 × 90 cm, bath towels at 67 × 135 cm and bath sheets at 100 × 150 cm; check other products separately.
What is the difference between a bath towel and a bath sheet?
In the featured collections, the bath towel is 67 × 135 cm and the bath sheet is 100 × 150 cm. The bath sheet gives more coverage and requires more storage space.
Does a higher GSM mean a bigger towel?
No. GSM describes fabric mass per square metre. Size is a separate specification, so compare both measurements.
Can I mix towel sizes in one pack?
The featured pack selectors apply to a selected towel size. For a combined room allocation, order each size separately or send a mixed-size trade enquiry.
