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

Our new sheets don't fit tight to our mattress like your flannel sheets do and our cotton duvet slides across the sheets when we're sleeping unlike other cotton sheets that we have. However, we do love the color.

So far we are pleased with the sheets set. It doesn't seem as hefty as my older set so we will see how well they hold up. While ordering the set I by mistake had only ordered a top sheet. I never knew you could order the sheets by single piece. What usually wears out for some reason is the bottom sheet gets a hole on the side my husband sleeps. For now on I'll just order a bottom sheet replacement.

It took a couple of washings, but now I like them.

I purchased these for my daughter as a gift. We are hoping they soften up over time (I love my 5yr old sheets). At this price I just wish they were a little longer and wider like other expensive sheets I have purchased in the past.

Comfortable, good-looking queen sheets after the first washing. The dimensions are significantly larger than sheets from another leading seller. The fitted sheet should fit the thickest mattress but may loosen and wrinkle on a smaller mattress. The top sheet hangs well over the side, which may be an issue if one desires full coverage with a bedspread. I'd prefer a smaller size, but others may differ.

I love the sheets, but please make them in more colors! Navy blue, a real charcoal gray.

These sheets are a generous size and fit very well. They are smooth and silky, with a very fine weave; although not as crisp as the exact ones I bought a year ago. I like the tags which indicate the long and short side, these are extremely helpful; however, I wish these tags were on every side, not just two as they are now.

Nice sheets, I was hoping to sleep cooler. The percale is very nice. It's slick, but not too. I really like the sheen and I've probably washed them 5 times, using consistently. They are easy to pull from the dryer and place back on, very few wrinkles. Beautiful sheets. The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because they claimed to sleep cool, and I didn't. Perhaps it's me. I purchased the light gray and the color is pretty, sort of a taupe. These are a good purchase for us.

Comfortable sheets! The medium blue color is very pretty. I went down a star because they are too big for the mattress.

I purchased a King set of the pima cotton percale (white) in July of 2017. I am just NOW retiring them, after 7 years of service. This was after a wash and dry cycle x1-2 per week. That's 364-728 wash cycles. Awesome. The material stayed fairly true to white and needed minimal maintenance to keep its color. The only item that didn't hold up exceptionally well was the elastic that gripped the corners of my bed - they would ride up constantly and need adjustment. But that was probably after 4-5 years of use. Also, I'm happy to see that the price has closely followed the inflation index since 2017... LL Bean is not gouging customers, like some other brands. Good on you. I tend to shop for quality first and consider price second; if this is you too then consider these sheets a good value.

They were very scratchy at first but I washed in baking soda and vinegar and that softened them up. Thick and well made, I know they will last a long time. They are very pricey but highly rated.

Very nice sheets so far easy care.used bean buck to purchase or I would have never bought them To many other places to purchase sheets at same quantity at a lesser cost

The fabric is lovely but the fitted sheet is very deep. It has to be tucked in & isn't as taut as other fitted sheets I've had.

These are nice sheets but not somthing that blows me away.

Finally a fitted sheet that goes on easily! Sheets look and feel nice. And considering I used the last set every day for three years (with regular washings, of course) I would say they're also durable. Don't think I've ever been disappointed by an LL Bean product!

These sheets came highly recommended by nyt wirecutter. When they came I ran them through our washing machine as I do with any new bedding. I immediately noticed the water was not soaking in to the fabric, but was beating off like water from a waxed car. How is this possible, for cotton, unless it has been treated with a water repellent? Like PFAS? That would explain what makes them so smooth and silky feeling. While it's a nice sensation, I do not want to spend night after night swathed in PFAS that are triggering shocking rates of cancer among firefighters whose turnout gear is coated with it and whose firefighting foam is loaded with it. The water tables around airports and firefighting stations and military bases are horribly polluted with these toxic, carcinogenic "forever chemicals". Check out the movie Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo.

Every other Friday I have a cleaning lady come in for about 2.5 hours, which include making my bed with "newly-laundered" sheets. She used these sheets straight from the package, and her initial reactionI guess fooled by the high cotton thread countwas that they're polyester. I had waited with trepidation for her to make the bed, because a previous reviewer had said the fitted bottom sheet was too large for a 7-inches-high mattress. It's fine, but she felt the top sheet is too big.

Sheets have very nice feel and a generous size. I love that the top sheet has ample size for two people. The bottom sheet is a little big for my mattress although other sheets are too small. Maybe tighter elastic in fitted sheet would help.

Pretty good. Kind of expensive for what it is but no complaints other than that small one.

I paid more for these sheets than I would normally because of the great review on Consumer Reports. The sheets are smooth and silky and sleep very good! The only problem I have is that I have a 14 inch mattress and the fitted sheet has a very thin elastic to keep it on the mattress and there is not enough material to tuck in on the sides. The sheet does stay on the mattress and I used "garters" to help to keep the sheet more taut on the mattress.

These sheets are wonderful quality but need to fit tighter on the mattress. My mattress is 14 inches tall but the fit of the sheets is not tight, especially after sleeping on them. Possibly a tighter grip of elastic would help. I will keep them, but not buy more unless this issue is resolved.

We love these sheets. Comfortable, beautiful, easy to make bed with labels for sides

The sheets really feel good . They are highly rated for a reason.

Lovely, satiny sheets in a beautiful green. The only issue I have is that the fitted sheet was too generous for my mattress.

I have bought these pima cotton sheets for years and love them. They are of high quality and are comfortable. However, for the first time they don't fit like a glove. In fact, they (queen size) are too big. The reason, I'm sure, is that we have a standard sized queen bed mattress and not one of the newer, very deep mattresses. It was a disappointment.
