Brooklinen Super-Plush Turkish Cotton Bath Sheets - Set of 2 - Cotton, 820 GSM, Highly Absorbent, Machine Washable, Perfect for Home & Bathroom (40" x 65", Slate Grey)

Sooo soft and plush - best towels we have ever owned

How can I express how disappointed I am? My goal was to find a substitute for the 900gsm towels I've bought for must be two decades from a popular outlet with the initials H.S. (H.S. has been bought and the towels are gone.) Despite a similar gsm count and an even more outrageous prince than H.S., these 820gms Brooklinen towels are maybe half as thick. They're dense, but that just means they brush water off you rather than absorbing it. I still have several H.S. towels on hand. One dry H.S. bath sheet weighs 1.5 times as much as a Brooklinen of virtually the same dimensions. This, when the Brooklinen is brand new and the H.S. is more than a year's worth of washings old. Hoping that the Brooklinen would puff up some after its first time in the washer and dryer, I held back before reviewing it. Didn't work. Brooklinen is hyping bath sheets that, though dense, are barely thicker than a kitchen hand towel. On the upside, though this will only confirm my point, these Brookline towels dry in less than half the time that my two-year-old H.S. towels take.
