Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Pima Percale 280TC Sheet Set Full

Highly recommended by Wirecutter, they are very silky and smooth. Very comfortable. I have an old Bean topsheet that has a much heavier hand; I guess the lightness of these sheets helps to keep the price reasonable. Love my sheets

The sheet was very nice except that the top sheet is more like a king sheet because of it's size.

Nice set of twin bed sheets in a nice ivory color. A bit wrinkled out of the dryer and on the bed.

Good value for the price. Fitted sheet is very roomy and works with an extra tall mattress and a topper. Good coloration throughout all of the sheets and cases.

These are ok but I prefer the LL Bean Premium Egyptian Percale Sheets. I wasn't crazy about the "feel" of these sheets. I'm rather picky so I returned these & ordered the LL Bean Egyptian Percale.

Fitted sheets had perfect fit. Sheets not very soft despite one wash. May soften over additional washings.

Sheets are nice, like color and feel. I've ordered full size, and they are too big. I was hoping that they fit better than the full/ queen sets available in most stores. Too bad, not true!

These sheets were a little thinner than I expected. However, we do like the coolness of them since we live in the Southwest.

These are very nice sheets, nothing wrong with them except the color selection is too limited. The photo makes these look sort of buff or honey toned but in person they're a brighter yellow gold - so I gave them to a friend to avoid the hassle of exchanging. I just wish you would offer a wider range of color choices in percale sheet sets, which is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 - there's nothing wrong with the product itself. I prefer crisp sheets, not soft silky ones anyway, just need more colors..

The vapor gray color is perfect coordination with my new bedspread and shams purchased elsewhere. These sheets are a bit scratchy and certainly not as soft as previous 280TC purchased from LL Bean 2 years ago, hence the 4 star rating. They wash and dry nicely.

These sheets do not fit my full size mattress properly. The fitted sheet is slightly larger than the mattress so that the sheet is not as taut as I would like. The top sheet runs a bit small so that it only hangs about 4" over the sides of the mattress. I would not buy these again.

Very comfortable, I like the labeling on the bottom.

A lot more expensive than what I usually spend on sheets. They're nice, but pretty indistinguishable from less-expensive brands.

The quality and fit are everything I expect from LL bean. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it didn't feel as silky as I expected. Maybe my fault for not getting more information.

I like the quality and feel of the sheets. However, I ordered a california king set and the top sheet is too wide. I realized you included the top sheet for a regular king bed size. I'd already used them so I just tuck it under. I'm assuming this was an error on your part and not standard procedure.

I really wanted to love these sheets but it's just a like. They feel great, cool and the color is as described. The one thing that keeps eluding me with all sheets is a fitted sheet that is snug when I make the bed and remains snug all night. I hate waking up and needing to pull at least one corner off to tighten the fitted sheet. These are worse than most and the fitted sheet needs a lot of re-tightening every morning. My search continues for the perfect sheets.

I bought this sheet set a couple of years ago based on the Wirecutter review and love them. However, although the top sheet and pillow cases are still nice and crisp, the bottom sheet has already worn through. I ordered a new bottom sheet, but I am surprised and disappointed that the original one did not wear as expected.

I bought these are couple.months ago. I love the color which is true to photo shown. The sheets are soft and barely wrinkles. I ordered queen size and they are big so these sheets would work best on a deep mattress. My mattress depth is 12". You can see how loose the fitted sheet gets after tucking tightly in the morning then a sound sleep. I would not buy these again due to the poor fit.

I have washed & used these sheets & am very pleased with how soft they feel. I was surprised at how long the queen pillowcases were that came with the sheet sheet - I just have standard, not queen size pillows. But not a major problem for me.

Thread count used to be a good measure of quality and durability, but not anymore. Modern equipment can spin yarn that is thin, but still strong enough to weave into fabric. So you can have a high thread count, but still have a skimpy fabric. These sheets are just "OK"; they have a slick, skimpiness to them. Just OK, not really nice.

The sheets are comfortable and, hallelujah, finally a manufacturer who realized that if the fitted sheet needs to be deeper, the top sheet needs to be wider. The missing star is due to color - the pale green is more grey than green.

It is very comfortable and cool, which is what I was looking for. And I appreciate the color which isn't just white gray or cream. However, the elastic on it could be better. It tends to be pulled up from underneath the bed which is something that happens to a lot of cheaper fitted sheets. I've been spoiled a bit by the Costco bedsheets, as those ones have a much thicker elastic piece and it's corners are built to hold onto the bed. I've never had get pulled up from the bed, so having this happen with these sheets, which are much more expensive, is disappointing.

Crisp and comfortable. Hoping/thinking they will soften up with more washings. Also, flat sheet is a little wide.

By ordering the Pima Percale 280 TC sheets I learned that I prefer she Sunwashed Percale sheets, that make up my duvet cover. They feel more substantial, a preference. This surprised me. Simply feeling the the Pimas, without unfolding, them made my choice clear, so I will return this purchase. If you like very light sheets, the Pimas would be your choice.

Pillow case length is shorter than some "standard" size pillow, or shorter after shrinkage on 1st wash. Otherwise these sheets are great.
