Sheridan Ultra Light Towel
Verified25 reviews
I have been using these for about 4-5 years, year-round, as I like them so much. They dry fast, and I can wrap them around my wet hair without feeling like I have a heavy object on top of my head. They have never lost any fluff and never thinned, so I am not sure why are there so many bad reviews. I would buy them again. I have got other thicker… Read more
ones from Sheridan, and they are also good. Some of them I had for over 20 years, and they still look remarkably new. Never thought they would last us this long.
Worst towels I have ever purchased!! Dreadfully thin and not absorbent at all! They had pulled threads from the moment we used them and the fluff just keeps coming off them everywhere, including getting stuck to my husband’s face on his beard area.… Read more
Took so many washes to take out whatever is coating them to make them non-absorbent, and now they are just thin and scratchy. Bought them on “sale” down from $99 each. We have bought Sheridan for years now and not sure who is making Sheridan towels now as they used to be great, but will never purchase from them again!
Follow-up · The coating felt almost like a waterproof type substance, as the towels just weren't absorbent. After washing the towels many times they have now become more absorbent but also course and extremely thin, with threads visibly pulled. My husband found the same thing. The fluff balls have diminished after many washes, but the threads are visibly pulled and the towels are very thin. Would never purchase again!!
Luxury light towels are the worst I have ever purchased. I gave my son & wife 4 towels, 2 hand towels, 2 bath mats for Christmas. They are paper thin, non absorbent, still losing fluff and fluff depositing over them when using towels. These towels were $59.99 each and with a discount I paid approx $173 all up for a quality you wouldn’t expect from Sheridan even though it’s the outlet store. No more Sheridan for this buyer!

Good material and so soft – The sizes are great I have bought all the sizes and 2 sets of dark colour and whites.
Not impressed! – Very disappointing. Brought two towels and a hand towel a few months ago. Washed them then put them to the back of the linen cupboard. Had a clear out and threw out some towels recently so started using the ultra light. We have been buying Sheridan towels for years and usually love them. But these ones are awful! Not absorbant at all and… Read more
after first wash seem so thin. I know they are called ultra light but for the price I paid I expected much better. Very reluctant to buy anymore Sheridan towels now as Im not sure whether they will be any good.
Disappointingly terrible – Have purchased Sheridan towels for many years, mostly in the ultralight range. So disappointed with the 6 towels, 4 handtowels, 4 flannels and 2 bathmats bought for my new home in Nov 2023. By June 2024, they had lost any fluff they had and don't actually dry after showering! My much older ones work better. If these are the "new" quality, I won't… Read more
ever be buying Sheridan towels again. There are many other cheaper alternatives available ... and for barely 6 months use, I may as well try these.
Very happy – Not too sure why there are so many negative reviews because I love these towels. Easy to wash, dries well, very absorbent and soft especially when tumble dried. I’ve bought three times and I would buy them again. Show details
Worst towels ever – I bought these towels for my new caravan thinking they would be a good quality durable towel being ultra light they would dry quicker. These towels are extremely poor quality. After over 6 washes they are still shedding so much fibres onto everything even on me when trying to dry myself. I pick clumps of fibre out of the washing machine and… Read more
other items and they are pilling and pulling very badly. Not to mention they still don't dry me properly. I have previously purchased towels from Woolworths that are of much better quality and much cheaper than the $30 each (this was at a Sheridan outlet store) RRP $60! They were also recommended by the person in store. I will no longer be buying Sheridan products.
Worst towel I've ever purchased - don't waste your money on Sheridan – To say I'm extremely disappointed I bought thee Sheridan towels recently is putting it mildly. They're garbage. It's no wonder Sheridan are seen to be constantly having a sale on their towel range - they want to flog as many of these atrocious and anaemically thin bath towels as they can. Don't be a sucker and think these must be good given their… Read more
made by "Sheridan" - the towels at Target are apparently 10 times bette rand for a fraction of the price.
Thin miserable towels, so thin – I wish I had read the previous reviews before purchasing the Ultra Light towels. They are really thin, more like cheap towels, but these werent cheap even on special. So dissapointed Sheridan towels are usually beautiful. Show details

Please do not buy this product – I bought Ultra Light hand towelx2, Ultra light bath towel x2 few weeks ago. I had a good experience using Sheridan bath towel 3 years ago but the towels I bought this time are absolutely horrible. I followed instructions from the website, I’ve washed more than 3 times already but whenever I washed them, shedding all the time!! $10 Kmart towels… Read more
are way better than this product. The staff told me Sheridan is one of the luxurious brands.. I really don’t think so. I attached photo so I’m proving myself I’m I’m not lying. I’m so glad I didn’t pay full price for these horrible products.

Do not buy this product! Very disappointed with the poor quality and the amount of fluff – Purchased two sets of Sheridan towels, floor mats and hand towels expecting a beautiful and great quality product synonymous of the brand. Totally disappointed with the amount of fluff and the lack of absorption after 6 washes and the final response from Sheridan after lodging a complaint. The company's last email states the problem is not a… Read more
manufacturing fault and gave me a list of general washing instructions. My response was why are these instructions not labelled on the towels? No reply!!! The fluff stays on your body and is then transferred to your sheets and the rest of your house. Will never purchase Sheridan towels every again.

Extremely Poor Quality you would not expect from a Sheridan Product – This is a review on Sheridan Ultra-Light Luxury Towel range, we have been purchasing this range over 8-10 years in both an almost black colour and a pebble colour both have been great. This past almost year we have purchased the colour Steel, bath sheets, mats the entire range (several) they are non absorbent- leave you feeling cold, the entire… Read more
floor and floor waste is covered in lint. We have been using Sheridan for 40+ years, washing & line drying them in the same way.....nothing improves the condition of these towels. Extremely disappointed with not only these sets of towels but the lack of accountability by Sheridan, who suggested we use a different brand of washing liquid and that the dark colour flint shows up more.

So disappointed – Bought 20 of these towels in June, have followed the washing guidelines and they are still shedding lint everywhere, my bathroom and body is covered after every use, the threads are also pulling, they seem poor quality. Previously had their Egyptian cotton towels with no issues. So regret this purchase. Show details

Functionally useless – Like most people here, I have used Sheridan products for years. I purchased ten towels, two different colours from Sheridan Outlet. Unfortunately, the towels seem to lack the ability to absorb water. Lint is also a major problem, I'm covered in it after use. Show details

Very disappointed with the towels ability to dry upon use and Sheridan's response to my concern – I purchased 4 Ultra Light towels, 2 bath mats and 2 hand towels about 6 years ago and had them stored in original Sheridan packing until now. I'm a long time and frequent Sheridan customer but only started using this towel collection last week after my recent bathroom renovation. These towels are full of lint and don't dry anything, I'm… Read more
literally cold after showering and towelling down. I reported directly to the Sheridan HelpLine but they claim it is "wear and tear", these have been used for 5 days after my initial pre-wash.
I warn other customers not to buy Sheridan Ultra Light towels and store them for future use, the company's response on my experience was very disappointing.

Ultra light luxury towel – I have always bought Sheridan towels because they were luxurious & lasted a long time but these towels are very disappointing. They are soft & light but very thin, the texture feels strange on the body & does not dry properly. It’s like drying yourself with a microfibre cloth. This is definitely my worst purchase from Sheridan in over 25 plus… Read more
years. I’m glad I purchased them on sale & didn’t pay full price. They might be ok to take camping but not for the bathroom.

Worst Towels Ever – I’ve owned quality Sheridan bath sheets for many years and loved them. We recently needed to fit out a new boat with towels and linen. These supposedly “Luxury” towels absorb almost no moisture and the amount of lint that they shed is ridiculous. We bought them in the navy colour and the stuff is absolutely everywhere you look. Anywhere you… Read more
place them becomes covered in blue fluff not to mention the carpets and the bathroom. We’ve washed them ever all times, each time they clog the dryer with lint and fluff. A total waste of money. Don’t buy these!

The worst towels I have ever purchased – I can't understand all the wonderful reviews I read online. I ordered a large batch of these in various colours and they shed constantly. Even after multiple washes and using a blend of vinegar and bi-carb as recommended on a website to stop the shedding I still find our bodies and the bathroom covered in fluff every use. I have to vacuum the… Read more
bathroom daily because of the fluff. Terrible quality for the price. I have other Sheridan towels that have lasted years but this range is completely disappointing.

Useless Product – I bought 2 Ultra Light towels 2 Hand Towels and a bath mat on 23/5/2021. I have followed the washing instructions to the letter. The towels will not absorb water and has shed a huge amount of fluff and continues to do so after many washes. I bought these towels believing Sheridan was a good reliable product. Very, Very disapointed. ps. And yes, I even tried the white vinegar wash and the hot wash with no luck. Show details

Poor quality – Towels don't dry your body well, it doesn't absorb water. I've washed and dryed them a few times and lint goes everywhere, leaving a mess in my bathroom and dryer. The colour is still running. I've never had any issues with sheridan towels before, their usually great quality but not these. Sheridan have since been in touch and have given me replacement towels. The service was great Show details

Not up to standard – Still not colour fast after numerous washes and continues to leave fluff everywhere even when put through the drier numerous times (lint catcher is full every time). Not the standard I expected for the price paid. No more Sheridan products for me. Show details

(not so) Cheap .. and Nasty – These towels are very thin, and look quite creased on the towel rack. The colour fades with every wash, so the bath towels no longer match with the hand towels which I hang for decoration. They are definitely not worth the money. I have read in other reviews that they shed a lot. Mine have not shed at all. I did machine rinse them with a cup… Read more
of white vinegar, and hung to dry before use. No idea whether this hint stopped the shedding or not. All of my bedding and towelling are Sheridan ..... I have never had anything as poor as this product.
Disgraceful product – I purchased the Sheridan Ultra Light Towel and spent approximately $500. The towels became patchy and lost color after 2 washes. I took them back to the store although the junior sales person told me they have had this problem before they informed me that it was my fault!!! Show details
Sheridan Ultra Light Luxury Towel ultra poor at absorbing water – Sheridan are usually ok, but these towels are hopeless at their core task-marketed as "Ultra Light Luxury Towel features AIR TWIST technology, which uses a spinning technique to trap the 100% cotton yarns with air. The result is lightweight luxury towels that are highly absorbant, quick drying and ultra soft on the skin.". We washed the towels… Read more
before use, as recommended. We soon realised that there is little body to the towel, and it is difficult to get dried because it is really no better than a cheap towel with a fancy name. When you commence drying yourself with this towel, it is immediately saturated with all those "air cells" collapsing into nothing, leaving a distinctly unfinished job requiring further drying with a hand towel. Unfortunately, once you have used the product, the Sheridan store said there was no refunds, so avoid disappointment and avoid this product. The towels we bought for half the cost at Target are tons better.
