Teema and Silk & Snow

Overview & Bath Essentials Breakdown

Teema Overview

Teema was born in a Cambodian night market on a backpacking trip in 2017, out of the frustration caused by their microfiber "travel" towels purchased on Amazon prior to the trip. After a chance encounter with a vendor selling Turkish Towels, an idea was born. After encountering Turkish towels for the first time in Cambodia, the founders quickly realized just how useful Turkish Towels truly are. Not only do they make great travel towels, but they're also throws, shawls, scarves, and wraps. They look great around the house, they dry quickly, they're portable, and they're stylish!

Silk & Snow Overview

Silk & Snow is an e-commerce bedding company based in Toronto, Ontario that is 100% Canadian owned and operated. Founded by two childhood best friends from Toronto who aimed to build Canada’s best bedding company in a sustainable and socially responsible way. These friends, Albert and Kenneth, noticed a distinct lack of mattress and bedding products made with sustainability, conscious manufacturing and transparency as core principles - and they sought to change that!
Originally launched in 2017 with a single mattress (the original S&S Mattress). Based on the popularity of the original S&S Mattress and listening to the feedback from customers, Silk & Snow introduced the S&S Hybrid and the S&S Organic. Today, Silk & Snow offers a full line of curated sleep and bath products including an adjustable foam pillow, protector, duvets, bedding, bed frames, weighted blankets, throws, and mattress toppers. Most recently, Silk & Snow launched a brand-new line of bath essentials! Manufactured thoughtfully using high quality, traceable materials, Silk & Snow products are available for testing in our Toronto showroom and available for purchase online.

Teema Bath

Although Teema specializes in Turkish towels, we wanted to compare their new Terry-woven towels from Teema’s Sedona line with our all-new Terry Towels.

Turkish Towels Use

Versatility is what truly sets Turkish towels apart from other towels. As the name states, the primary use of a Turkish towel is to be just that, a towel. However, due to the light, portable, and stylish nature of Turkish towels, many who purchase them opt to use them in other ways. They can work just as well as blankets, throws, scarves, wraps, and more!

Blanket

  • Outside of being a towel, Turkish towels are often used as a blanket. Thanks to their large size and softness, Turkish towels make the perfect on-the-go blanket. Whether you're having a picnic at the park, sitting around a campfire, or getting cold in between sets at a concert, Turkish towels are the perfect choice. As you can see, Turkish towels are appearing in a lot of places you’d never expect to see a towel.

Shawl, Scarf, & Wrap

  • Thanks to their inherent light fabric and stylish designs, Turkish towels can also be used as several different accessories/articles of clothing. Got enough sun at the beach and need a cover or wrap? Turkish towel. Need something light enough to wear as a shawl but heavy enough to keep you warm? Turkish towel. Looking to add to your scarf collection this winter? You guessed it... Turkish towel.

So much more…

  • As you own your Turkish towel, you’ll continue to find many unexpected things you can use it for. Customers have used them as home decor, yoga mats, table clothes, burkas, and more.
