If you are someone who often visits a wellness center or sauna, it is not surprising that you specifically look for the best bathrobe for the sauna, spa, or hammam. Because not just any bathrobe bathrobe is the ideal bathrobe for use in the sauna. What features should your new bathrobe have? And which bathrobe should you definitely not choose for a day at the sauna? Is cotton or polyester the best material for a sauna bathrobe? Do you choose an airy kimono collar or a warm hood? We are happy to tell you which bathrobes are ideal to wear in the sauna and why.
Is my regular bathrobe suitable for use in the sauna?
A very valid question to start with: is the bathrobe I use daily suitable for the sauna, spa, or hammam? That depends entirely on which bathrobe you already have. If you wear your bathrobe primarily at home to relax, it is likely wonderfully soft and good at providing extra warmth. In that case, it is quite possible that your bathrobe is made of synthetic material such as polyester. This feels soft against the skin but is less breathable and does not absorb water and body moisture well. As a result, the bathrobe can start to feel clammy, which is certainly not ideal in a warm and humid environment like the sauna. We therefore do not recommend a fully synthetic bathrobe as a sauna bathrobe.

Do you use your current bathrobe to put on when you step out of the shower or bath soaking wet, and does your skin feel drier afterwards? Chances are your bathrobe is made of a natural material such as cotton or bamboo. Fabrics made from natural materials are breathable and better at absorbing moisture, making them more suitable for a warm sauna or humid spa.
Which bathrobe is the perfect bathrobe for the sauna?
As you can see, the best bathrobe What is best for one situation may not be the best for another. It is important for a sauna bathrobe to be comfortable to wear in a warm and humid environment. Therefore, when finding the suitable bathrobe for the sauna, it is important to know which features contribute to this.

Firstly, there is the breathability of a bathrobe. In other words: the bathrobe ventilates well so that your body temperature is supported properly. Secondly, a high absorption rate is important. This prevents water and body moisture from becoming trapped between your skin and the fabric of the bathrobe. As mentioned above, this is well taken care of with natural materials. The perfect bathrobe for the sauna is therefore (at least partially) made of natural materials. Think of a cotton bathrobe or a bathrobe with bamboo.
Another nice addition to the perfect sauna bathrobe is pockets. Because saunas and wellness centers are often public places, it is nice to be able to store things. For example, your glasses, phone, or (locker) keys. Fortunately, all bathrobes in our assortment have pockets.

Most bamboo bathrobes in our range are made with a combination of cotton and polyester. This allows you to enjoy the quality benefits of multiple materials. Cotton makes the fabric sturdier, while polyester creates a lightweight, flowing bathrobe with a soft feel. Because the natural materials are on the inside, the bathrobe remains breathable.
