Why does mine not feel like a towel, it feels more like a bathmat?

It heavy I used fabric softer ONCE and it's better. It's still heavy but more absorbing now

Hi there! I find that if I put a towel down on the seat and then back rest on top of towel, they don't slide around as much

I've only washed it a few times and haven't noticed any difference at all. it's very absorbent and plush!

No, the pad feels similar to other cotton fabrics. It doesn't feel any cooler than other mattress pads.

It's the shape of a large towel. Not as big as the beach blanket towels but a normal big bath towel.

The bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths all seem to me to have the same thick fluffy quality. I've been washing mine repeatedly, and they still feel and look great.

The cover feels like woven fabric of a heavy weight. I'm guessing the treatment is against stains but you cannot see or feel anything. Sort of like Scotchgard, I imagine.

It is a towel/blanket. Supposed to be pretty absorbant and dries quickly. That said, I've never used mine as a towel; I've only used it as a blanket that I bring with to yoga class. It is not a bathrobe--not sure why they would mention that?

No. It's very absorbent and relatively thin - especially when compared to a conventional towel. The surface does have some tooth to it though - it feels a little like a thick chamois cloth when it's dry. It is easy to wring it out and then if you hang it up it dries quickly.

I had thought about a heating pad too - maybe on a low setting. There is a nice thick fluffy cushion inside that you can take out to wash. The underneath is not plastic - I'm not sure what it is. It looks like fabric but feels kind of paper-y. Just buy it and return if you don't like it. For $20 it's a pretty good deal.

I just looked at mine and it appears to be some kind of stretchy mesh on the four sides but it sure feels like plastic where it goes on the mattress. I'm not sure I detected any terry cloth but I could be wrong. To sum up, I'm kind of ambivalent about this cover. It seems like it would protect the Tempur-Pedic mattress below but it can feel "plasticky" under you and it does slide around on the mattress. Hope this helps.

It's synthetic. Don't focus on the word "towel". In terms of material, this is no kind of towel as you know it. It's only a towel because it can be used to dry the body. The material feels very similar to chamois leather.

No. It's like a lightweight rubber mat. Easy to clean with a towel or a quick rinse in the bathtub. I like it very much for comfort but the edges are wearing out faster than expected.

I had an older one that I recently replaced with the newer model. Both the new one and the older one did that, but I found that it usually meant I needed to change the pad, it wasn't damp enough any longer. I lover my newer one because it is longer, not any where near as short as my first one was.

No, but I haven't had a problem with the towel sliding or bunching up ... it's usually wet. If for some reason you're not sweating a lot in your Bikram class, you can spray the towel with water beforehand or rinse it in the washer then roll it up with your mat. I haven't needed to do this, even for the areas of the towel that stay dry. I do it sometimes because the pre-wetted towel just feels cool during class :)

I don't really know because I have only used the microfiber towel which I really like.

Hi! No, I believe it's sturdier and heaver than a regular bath mat. I really like it.
