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

The fitter full size sheet is huge. Its not snug or smooth.

I like the bottom sheet to stay taunt without wrinkles while sleeping. The elastic is too weak to do this. Otherwise, the sheet material is comfortable.

These are only ok. I purchased this along with the Egyptian Percale to compare. There isn't a close comparison, for the price difference buy the Egyptian Percale instead. These are not as thick and just don't feel as great. They are better than online companies like Brooklinen.

These sheets are wonderfully soft. My complaint is about the size of the California King flat sheet which is the same size as a regular King so far too wide for my bed.

I returned them. The color looked quite different in person than online. The quality appeared to be top notch!

The bottom "fitted" sheet is so oversized that it becomes baggy on the mattress after a couple of nights. Fabric is fine, but fit of sheet is too loose.

These sheets are beautiful - wonderful feel and look. They don't wrinkle much and feel luxurious. BUT I'm returning them as the fitted bottom sheet doesn't fit well at all. The elastic band around the sheet isn't wide or strong enough and doesn't hold the sheet in place. So throughout the night the sheet is pulling loose from the mattress and by morning is a wrinkly mess. (My mattress is between thick and thin so I thought these sheets would be perfect as they aren't sized for extra thick mattresses.). Needless to say, I'm so disappointed as I was excited to once again buy from one of my favorite companies.

I only sleep in underwear so I'm ber aware of softness. About 5 years ago, sheets I used to love were suddenly not smooth - I assume a shift to cheaper production at the expense of quality. This is my first time trying these sheets. When I first slid into bed I "slid" and they felt smooth. I was so relieved. However, I have insomnia so I'm awake awhile in my sheets and I became aware of a roughness and my fingers could feel a nap that I think was the cause. Percale shouldn't have a nap. It should be refined and smooth. It's a big improvement over my previous favorite that downgraded quality so, I'm grateful. It's probably 3.5 stars but I can only choose whole stars.

Yes, these feel good. But for the price they should. I brought these a year ago. Since then, the bottom elastic seems to have loosened so the sheet needs tightening every single morning or I would be sleeping with ripples. The second issue is that the fabric stains easily. A few months after buying I had a cut that required I use Vaseline. The Vaseline rubbed off on the fabric and the stain is there yet. This is Vaseline. It should come out, but hasn't. Disappointed.

Fitted sheet was not tight. Do like the feel. Ordered another set.

They feel great, but this color does not look as good on our bed as it did online.

I did a lot if research before purchasing these sheets. They may end up being durable and lasting a long time, but they are rough to the touch. I cannot comfortably sleep on the pillowcase.

I liked the quality of the sheets, but the fitted sheet did not give a tight fit on our king mattress. The dimensions of the sheet appear not to be correct.

Sorry, but these sheets felt more like sandpaper than Pima cotton. We even washed them first but not for us.

I always read reviews before I purchase a product. Based on the reviews, I expected these sheets to be softer. I've washed and dried them 3 times and don't feel a difference. Although it seems to be a good quality cotton, I'm disappointed in this product.

Although I am pleased with fabric content of these sheets, I have a 12 inch mattress and the bottom fitted sheet is not at all snug. It is loose and baggy. I will not order again, especially at this high price.

I have been searching for the perfect percale sheets. I purchased these based on them showing up on many reviewers top picks. I used to buy Fieldcrest hotel percale, but they don't make them anymore. They were the best sheets I have ever bought. I have tried multiple brands, both expensive and cheaper. These LL Bean percale sheets are on the higher end of price. So here's my review: They are smooth like percale is supposed to be (not soft and flimsy). Thickness is good. When they came out of the dryer somewhat wrinkled, I was hopeful, as 100% cotton percale should be a little wrinkled. People are often confused about percale - it is a weave and should have a lower thread count for coolness. Unfortunately, these sheets are not as cool and crisp as they should be. They also feel like they have some kind of coating on them. I'm hoping that with multiple washings that they will get better, but for now, the Brooklinen percales are better and a little cheaper. I'm not fond of the color (I bought Lake). I don't know why no one makes percales in bolder, primary colors instead of all the pastels I see. I will keep them, but needless to say, my quest continues for the perfect percale.

These light blue-colored sheets are actually a very bright, dark blue. The color was quite a surprise compared with the online picture, but these are fabulous sheets, so I kept them. Also, they are a bit pricey.

I echo what another reviewer said that it would be nice if they offered two depths per bed size, normal and deep. If you don't have a mattress topper these are so loose. I feel like I'm sliding around on them all night. They're fine but I like some of my older sheets better simply because they are tighter and fit better. Ok but somewhat disappointed. I've had them for over a year now.

The sheets feel wonderful and look great, but they don't stay on the corners of the bed. They seem to fit, but if we toss and turn at all, the corner pockets are on the top of the bed. I guess our mattress is too deep.

Advertised as very smooth. Not so. Will continue with old, very smooth, sheets.

Bottom sheet fits poorly and quality overall is not that great

Fabric is cool and comfortable but the "fitted" bottom sheet is made to fit a mattress with a 15 inch depth. My standard size mattress is 12 inches so the bottom sheet is always loose and wrinkled in the morning. The fitted sheet should be made to fit the standard depth, not the exceptional one.

I have several sets of these sheets in many sizes. With time, the hems on all top sheets and pillow cases curl and crease after washing and no amount of ironing will flatten them. They are forever creased. I find the fabric on more recent purchases is not the same - stiffer, shinier- seems to be treated. These linens are expensive. Years ago I thought I'd found my forever sheets but I don't think I'll be buying more.

These are not the same high-quality percale sheets I have been ordering from L.L. Bean for years. They seem less crisp and thick -- even flimsy -- and the trim on the pillowcases and top sheet, which was formerly like piping, is now cheap and lacelike. Disappointed.
