Yeah, good woven bed sheets (smooth for sleeping) aren't meant to absorb water: the thread is twisted too tightly. Flannel should work better.
My current towel was a BB&Beyond purchase, middling thickness. I've been using it for fifteen years. :P It's only starting to fray along the long edges.
I don't think I've ever bought and used fabric softener. My college bf (who did the laundry because he hated dishes and I don't mind dish-washing) used the little sheets, but in general softener is more chemical-y than I want to smell. Shouldn't have any effect on how well/poorly a piece of looped cotton dries subsequently, anyway.
