Product Insights
The Popcorn Texture Organic Cotton Towels are a Simons Maison exclusive, crafted from 100% organic cotton grown without synthetic pesticides and requiring 91% less water, woven in Portugal's top-tier textile region. Their signature popcorn weave stays textured after washing, maintaining absorbency and keeping color on both sides, while drying faster than terry in dry air. However, in humidity the towel retains moisture, can develop a mildew smell, and the hanging loop may unravel after a few washes; buyers report loose threads, a black-and-white option that reads beige, and variable initial softness that improves with washing.
- Drying
Dries faster than terry in dry air, but retains moisture in humidity.
Why this is supported
Reviews report a clear tradeoff: the towel absorbs well but retains moisture in humid conditions, contributing to slower drying. One reviewer notes:
Thick organic cotton absorbs well and feels soft, but in damp weather it stays wet and can develop an unpleasant odor.
themeIn contrast, the brand's Q&A describes that the lightweight design allows the towel to dry faster than terry cloth, stating:
they dry faster than traditional terry cloth
How does the popcorn texture affect the towel's absorbency and drying time compared to traditional terry cloth?However, this faster drying is conditional on humidity levels, as the reviews indicate that in humid environments the towel remains damp despite its absorbency.
- Texture stability
Popcorn weave stays textured after washing, maintaining absorbency.
Why this is supported
The Q&A addresses texture longevity, explaining that the popcorn weave is designed to stay raised:
Organic cotton does tend to soften with washing, but the popcorn texture likely retains its distinct feel rather than becoming completely smooth.
Does the organic cotton get softer with repeated washing, or does it stay textured?This means the towel's absorbency and drying properties remain stable over time.
- Hanging loop
Hanging loop may unravel after a few washes, reducing drying convenience.
Why this is supported
Despite being a convenient feature, the hanging loop's durability is called into question:
The handy hanging loop is praised, yet quality control issues like unravelling loops and loose seams appear after a few washes.

- Value
Facecloth at $12 CAD is cheaper than per-piece cost of non-organic popcorn towel set.

- Woven pattern
Woven pattern keeps color on both sides and texture softens with washing without flattening.
Why this is supported
The pattern is woven into the fabric as part of the popcorn texture weave, not printed on top, so the colors are less likely to fade with washing compared to printed towels. Additionally,
Organic cotton does tend to soften with washing, but the popcorn texture likely retains its distinct feel rather than becoming completely smooth.
Does the organic cotton get softer with repeated washing, or does it stay textured?This means the pattern remains vibrant on both sides and the texture becomes softer over time while keeping its dimensional character.
- Stitching quality
Loose threads and unraveling loops are common; buyers reinforce stitching on arrival.
Why this is supported
The hanging loops and seams of these towels have received reports of unraveling and loose threads after limited use.
According to Huddy, ultimate quality towels come from Portugal, then Turkey, then India.
today.comDespite Portugal's reputation for high-quality towels, these specific towels show finishing inconsistencies according to buyer reports.
- Moisture retention
Buyers in humid climates report the towel stays wet for hours and can develop a mildew smell.
Why this is supported
Verified buyer reviews consistently note that in humid conditions, the thick organic cotton stays damp for hours and develops an unpleasant odor.
Thick organic cotton absorbs well and feels soft, but in damp weather it stays wet and can develop an unpleasant odor.
themeThis contradicts the manufacturer's positioning that the popcorn texture makes the towels dry faster than traditional terry cloth.
Even following recommended care—cold water, no fabric softener, low heat—does not prevent moisture retention in high humidity, as the dense cotton fibers hold water for hours.
- Sizing
Five sizes from facecloth to bath sheet (35.5x65); loop on hand/bath/bath sheet; bath sheet wraps full body per buyers.
Why this is supported
Reviews confirm the bath sheet is generous enough to wrap around the body for a spa-like experience. One reviewer remarked,
I like textured towels and these are a good size with a loop on one side if you choose to hang them on a hook.
Customer review, September 10, 2025The product description confirms the loop is included on hand, bath, and bath sheet sizes, though not on the facecloth or guest towel. The size range spans from a 12x12 facecloth to a 35.5x65 bath sheet.
- Initial feel
Some buyers find the towel soft initially, others scratchy.
Why this is supported
Reviews indicate that the organic cotton feels soft initially, but the popcorn texture causes mixed reactions:

Cute but hanging loop too thick
These are nice small towels but I wish the hanging loop was thinner.
Sèchent très lentement
J'ai acheté ces serviettes pour les mois plus chauds et humides en pensant qu'elles sècheraient plus rapidement que les draps de bain que nous utilisons en hiver. Malheureusement, ce n'est pas le cas. Elles restent mouillées très longtemps et développent une odeur désagréable. Elles sont très jolies par contre.
