Reformer towels, explained
Everything worth knowing before (and after) you buy — from why the carriage gets slippery to keeping your towel gripping for years.
How it works
Locks to the carriage
A rubber non-slip backing grips the upholstery so the towel won't bunch or slide, even through footwork and jumpboard.
Keeps you dry
Microfiber wicks sweat away fast, so your grip stays reliable and the carriage stays protected.
Made to fit
Sized to cover the carriage and headrest of a standard reformer — not a bath towel forced to fit.
Will it fit my reformer?
Sized for standard reformers. It fits the most common machines, including:
Reformer towel vs. bath towel
| Reformer towel | Bath towel | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Contoured to carriage + headrest | Plain rectangle |
| Backing | Rubber, grips the carriage | None — slides |
| Fabric | Quick-dry microfiber | Cotton terry, stays damp |
| During class | Stays locked in place | Bunches and shifts |
