The 19^th century saw the invention of the cotton gin. This machine quickly and easily separates cotton fibres from their seeds which revolutionised cotton production. Thus, the cotton sheet was born. This was the start of a new industry. It became much easier to produce cotton than flax and that in turn made it a cheaper product. Ultimately cotton became the popular choice for bedding, though the name bed linen stuck.

 When considering the size of a large bath towel, it's important to consider how it will fit into your daily life.  Larger towels provide more drying surface area and are a practical option for those looking for maximum comfort and functionality.  Additionally, the large size of oversized bath towels also makes them a versatile option for use at the beach or pool, where extra coverage is often needed.
