We know what you're thinking: are towel warmers just another unnecessary buy? But hear us out. Whether you're a morning or nighttime bather, nothing hits the spot once you step out of the shower or bath quite like a warmed towel; it's like wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket. What was once reserved for professional spas and luxury hotels is now a brimming category fit for wellness advocates, and even those who aren't. After all, showering is something we all do, so why not make the routine feel a little more luxurious?
Just like heated floors for your feet, towel warmers ensure your body stays warm and cozy post-shower, adding a touch of comfort to your daily life. But as with most household items, browsing the best towel warmers can be overwhelming. There's a wide variety available, with features ranging from free-standing, hardwired, and portable, in addition to towel warmer racks, bucket-style, and large-capacity options.
There's also your unique space to consider: a towel warmer that takes up a lot of room may not work for small spaces, and, similarly, a towel warmer that doesn't have a spacious capacity may not be best for large households. In any case, if you're looking for some help shopping for the best towel warmers, we put together a list to make things a tad bit easier and a whole lot toastier.
Below, find six of the best towel warmers that'll spark joy for you, your family, and house guests alike.

Best Bucket-Style Towel Warmer
Pure Enrichment PureBliss Luxury Towel Warmer ($122)
There's a lot to love about the Pure Enrichment PureBliss Luxury Towel Warmer, so much so that we professed our love for it after discovering it on TikTok.
One thing that stands out about the bucket-style towel warmer is that it has a roomy 20-liter capacity, which is enough for several towels, of course, but can also fit anything you'd like to make a little cozier: robes, socks, a blanket. There are also four timer settings (so you can have your goods nice and heated when you want them) plus an auto shut-off feature that's helpful for forgetful types.

Best Aromatherapy Towel Warmer
Zadro Towel Warmer With Diffuser ($180)
For a towel warmer that really takes at-home spa nights to new heights, consider the Zadro towel warmer with a diffuser capability. Yes, it'll make drying off after a bath or shower more enjoyable (its 19-liter capacity can fit up to three towels), but it also serves as an aromatherapy diffuser thanks to its essential oil infusion basket.
Something else that adds to its appeal? The fluted design on the exterior, which we think really elevates the appliance (and your bathroom).

Best Towel Warmer Rack
Wohoda Freestanding Electric Towel Warmer ($175, originally $250)
Towel warmer racks are useful if you'd rather use up the vertical space in your bathroom. This one from Wohoda comes in three finishes (black, brushed, and polished) and has six bars that can warm up towels, washcloths, and bathing suits. It also offers both a two- and four-hour working period — great for keeping things warm for longer.

Best Small Towel Warmer
Doace Towel Warmer Bucket ($70)
This small but mighty towel warmer from Doace is ideal for face and hand towels, but you could even throw in a full-sized bath towel if you wanted. We particularly love the LED display for giving it that five-star look and feel. The fact that it's so lightweight at just over seven pounds, making it easy to store and transport, is just the cherry on top.

Best Wall-Mounted Towel Warmer
BestComfort Wall Mounted Heated Towel Warmer ($120)
Lacking precious floor space? This wall-mounted towel warmer rack allows you to still get in on the luxury. The 10-bar rack makes it easy to achieve uniform heating no matter what you hang on it, and because it's a rack that keeps the towels visible (versus a bucket) you'll always be reminded of the snug, heated towels that await post-shower.

Best Portable Towel Warmer
Topteng Black Towel Warmer ($97)
If you need your towel warmer to move with you, you'll love that the Topteng Black Towel Warmer has wheels, making it foolproof to transfer from room to room. In addition to its trio of wheels and 20-liter capacity, the warmer has a hot surface light indicator, a handy feature for households with kids and pets.
Plus, it only takes six minutes to reach its maximum heat of 135 degrees Fahrenheit, making the high-power rack great for rushed mornings.
