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

Seems pretty well made and I only got a tiny bit of lint when I washed and dried it first. The fitted sheet is HUGE. I have five (5) sheets sets from different manufacturers for this mattress (half flannel) and they all fit perfectly. This one took 10 minutes of lifting a tucking to get all the excess underneath. It reminded me of the Big Suit the lead singer of the Talking Heads used to where.

The queen size top sheet is very wide and hangs below the queen size quilt that I also purchased from LL Bean. I have to tuck up one side when I make the bed. Doesn't make any sense. Otherwise it's a good purchase.

These sheets appear to be well made and of good quality. The fitted sheet does indeed have a true extra-deep pocket; it's the first fitted sheet we've had in years that slips easily over all four corners of our mattress + foam topper combo. My disappointment is that they are not as "crunchy" as I like percale to be; to me, they feel more like a sateen/percale hybrid, if such a weave structure is even possible. For this reason, I am not likely to repurchase them, but if you are someone who likes a smoother percale, these sheets would be ideal.

There are quite a few reviews for this sheet set with the same criticisms: that they're scratchy and sized too large. I have not found them to be the least bit scratchy. As a matter of fact, I find them so comfortable that I'm actually sleeping better and waking up feeling more refreshed. Yes, they're expensive, but for the comfort alone it's worth the price. As for the sizing issues, it's true. I bought the Queen sized sheets and they do fit rather large. There's enough material in the fitted sheet to tuck completely under the mattress and I still have too much play on the top. Thankfully, it hasn't affected my comfort, but it doesn't have the neatest look. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase.

They felt like a plastic tablecloth at first. Maybe it's the sizing they use on the fabric during processing, I don't know, but they do not feel soft like cotton before you wash them. I had to wash them at least 3 times before they started to soften. I love the oversized flat sheet that keeps both me and my spouse covered with room to spare but I would have returned them if they didn't soften.

Very nice sheets. Would purchase again....good quality. They are a generous size. They sleep cool and wash nicely. They do not wrinkle too much.

Sheets that are made for a cool sleep but are very light weight. Would be perfect if the thread count were higher. 280 thread count makes a thin, light weight sheet. However, it's a comfortable sheet when you get used to the thinness.

I bought these based on a review. It stated they were well made & they are and they also mention if you're a hot type of sleeper with these sheets you'll remain cool &won't overheat you , but i still find them to be very warm. I guess that is so subjective as we are all different .

The sheets are cool and comfortable for summer. I love the mint color!

These sheets are great. I believe my sleep has improved because of them. I have rated only 4 stars because my mattress is only 10.5" thick and the fitted sheet is designed to fit a much thicker mattress. Therefore, on my bed, the fitted sheet does not fit well.

Too stiff and dont fit snuggly, but the color is lovely.

Real score is 3.5, but I rounded up. Washed up nicely and are not scratchy. Good value for the money.

These sheets have a nice feel but show lots of wrinkles

Same as print sheet. Long at sides but length good for tucking in at end or bottom of bed.

These fit well, are a very fine weaving and carefully sewn. I would like them to soften up more and hope with more washings that they will. They almost feel more like a cotton mix than 100% cotton, kind of slippery.

These sheets are just ok with me. The material is very lightweight and kind of slippery. The fit on our queen is more than generous with a thick mattress pad. Would not purchase again.

The sheets we soft even after just one wash. There are nice touches having ties for the comforter and tags on the fitted sheet to tell you which sides are short or long. One touch that was oddly missing are envelope closures for the pillow covers. As it is the pillows fall out of the pillow after a night of sleepy. I've seen other brands have this feature at this price point I was expecting the same from LL Bean. Something to consider when purchasing these sheets.

These sheets were all I was hoping for, based on reviews. They feel great and have washed well. The only reason I'm giving less than a 5 is the size of the pillow cases. I didn't realize that full sized sheets would come with queen sized pillow cases. Not a problem since new pillows are definitely in our future.

The fabric on these sheets is great! Soft and cool-feeling. They are, however, quite loose on my brand new, deep mattress. Because I sew, I am going to take up the corner seams to take out the slack. I like my sheets snug and tight and these sheets are not.

Very good size. Fit well. Soft and wrinkle free. Color is as advertised. Matches my spread.

These are superior to expensive luxury brands: 1) they are cut straighter so hems lay flat, 2) they don't pick up and retain mystery stains and, 3) with minimum laundering effort and attention, they need no ironing. My guess is that those who feel they are rough-textured are accustomed to muslin. These are percale. I'd give them four stars if the pillowcases had just one long seam rather than two.

Bought the King size and fits perfectly with our king bed!

Very light, soft, and comfy. Better price than a lot of internet brands... but I wish LL Bean would do more to ensure eco friendly and fair trade in their supply chains and products.

The fit of the fitted sheet is too loose for a 14 inch mattress; not snug enough fit.

The color and feel were great. But having read the reviews and aware that wrinkling could be an issue, I checked before opening the sheets and found they arrived with wrinkles. If that doesn't bother you, they are good sheets. I'm returning mine.
