One of the shelves slides under itself to make room for a tall item like a pineapple or a giant soda bottle. It has a full width shelf with temperature control at the coldest setting it will keep meat fresh longer and on the warmer one it’s ideal for stashing party trays or a cake when you’re entertaining. In it you’ll find lots of features for organizing and protecting food. It lost a good deal of its initial, out-of-the-package softness after five washes, but it still felt comfortable after a shower.The best refrigerator overall, the GE Profile PFE28KYNFS French door refrigerator is beautifully designed and has a smudge-proof stainless steel finish to keep it looking spiffy. The Riley is made of long-staple Egyptian cotton, which means the fibers are long and strong, and it should last for years (we’ll keep testing it to see how it holds up, too). It’s wonderfully tactile, if you like a towel with a little more bite to it but don’t want something with a slight scratch (like the Onsen). It’s quick to absorb water and feels almost ticklish, but not quite.

The loops are less densely packed, which means you can feel each one when you run your fingers over the towel or swipe it across your back.

When you look across the surface of the Riley, you can see individual terry loops, each with room to move on its own. Both the Riley and the Frontgate are the same weight-700 grams per square meter (GSM)-but when you look across the surface of the plush Frontgate, you see densely packed, fluffy terry.

It’s thinner than the Frontgate, and it has more texture when you run it across your skin. If you prefer terry but don’t like thick, supersoft towels-or if you want a terry with a little more style and don’t mind splurging-we recommend the Riley Spa Bath Towel. (Monson’s interview in no way informed our decision to recommend Onsen towels.) To learn more about towels, I interviewed Rick Basinger, director of manufacturing and innovation at 1888 Mills I also spoke with Shane Monson, founder of Onsen, about lattice- and waffle-weave towels. Stephen also spoke with Ben Mead, a customer relations and technical specialist at Hohenstein Institute, the US testing lab for the Oeko-Tex standard, an environmental safety certification you’ll see on some towels. I first took over our guide to bath towels in 2017, building on the research of Melissa Tan and Stephen Treffinger, the latter of whom interviewed Martin Bide, PhD, a professor in the Department of Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design at the University of Rhode Island Sean Cormier, assistant chair in the Fashion Institute of Technology’s Textile Development and Marketing department and Angela Massengill, a fabric evaluation technologist at Cotton Incorporated. As a senior staff writer for Wirecutter, I’ve written most of our home-textile guides, from cotton sheets to blankets to duvet covers.
