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

FABRIC WAS STFF AND A BIT SCRATCHY. EXPECTED SOFTER AND MORE COMFORTABLE SHEETS FOR WHAT I PAID FOR THEM.

They seem to be of good quality, the fit is good and they are soft and smooth. They come with regular pillow cases (not the type that have an extra flap inside to completely cover the pillow, and that's a plus to me because I never liked that type of pillow case). I don't think that they are superior to other sheets I've owned, though.

I was eager to purchase these sheets/pillowcases based on outside ratings like Wirecutter and am sadly disappointed in the quality of the craftsmanship. The sheets are comfortable and a lovely color. However, the pillowcases are another story. The stitching is misaligned and puckeredthey look worn. I had planned to use them for guests, but am now rethinking my decision.

I was trying to get soft sheets like I had gotten from Bean once before (though I couldn't find the record of what they were called). I thought they were Pima and that meant soft. These sheets would be nice and cool for summer, but were not super-soft like the previoius ones I had gotten.

Very comfortable sheets. My only complaint is with the fit. The deep pockets fail to really grip my 12" thick mattresses, so that the sheet gets easily wrinkled.

These are the kind of sheets that make noise as you move your hands and feet, if you have fingernails or toenails. They're stiff after one washing. Since buying these I've researched percale and it is reported to be highly durable, "sleeps cool", and is said to soften over time. I wish I'd done my homework up front. If you're looking for soft, cozy sheets from the get go, these are not.

Ok but I thought they would be softer for the amount of money. Nice looking but I returned them.

I really wanted to like these sheets because Consumer Reports recommended them, but, like so many sheets I've tried, they are"itchy." I washed them twice and i still can't stand them. So disappointed. If you like your sheets really soft, these are not the ones. They don't wrinkle, have nice deep pockets and are a very good thickness though. Depends on what you're looking for.

These sheets stain very easily! I put some petroleum-based lip balm on my lips before bed. In the morning there was a dark spot on the pillowcase. Used spot cleaner and put in laundry but stain did not come out! I had ordered extra set of these sheets big then cancelled the order. If you stick with white or ivory sheets, this would probably not be a problem. The quality of the sheets is excellent but just can't justify the expense if they are going to look spotted.

I've been buying these sheets for years and loved them. However, the two sets I bought last month are noticeably smaller with less drop in both length and width. I compared them to our older sheets to make sure it wasn't my imagination. The sheet fabric still feels the same, but seriously - how much money is a business saving by skimping in the size? I'd buy these sheets regardless of price but not if the quality is reduced. Very disappointed.

Didn't feel like my other percale sheets. They do not have a crisp feel to themmore like sateen sheets.

I've used these sheets for one year now. They are OK for three season use, because they are light and cool. Chillier nights means it's time to put them away for winter Two quibbles - One. Bottom sheet fits like a cheap hotel shower cap. Two. The color name is "silver sand". It's beige. Just plain old everyday beige.

Too big. The fitted sheet is meant for a tall, pillow top mattress. Its so big that it rolls up.

I wish I could give it a 5 star rating but the fitted sheet is just too big for my tempurpedic mattress. I washed the sheets in hot water and they were a bit better but not a tight fit as I'm used to. On the plus side they're nice and crisp which would be awesome except for the loose lumpy fit of the bottom sheet.

These sheets do seem to be good quality for a reasonable price but they are not as soft as anticipated. They're actually kind of rough/scratchy.

I loved the feel of these sheets right out of the package. I wanted them to work out so badly. I washed them as directed and made the bed. Unfortunately, my 15-inch mattress just didn't work for the 15-inch pocket on the sheets. It barely stretched under the mattress, and every morning it had crept halfway up the corner. I actually thought about keeping them because I loved the crisp, cool, smoothness so much, but decided to return them and find sheets with pockets cut a little more generously.

I love how these sheets feel, it's better than a hotel, they're super sturdy too. My fitted sheet tore a huge hole last night after only owning them for a year and a half and I'm not really keen on replacing it for $70.

Great material, crisp yet soft and breathable. The fitted sheet is for a very thick mattress so I returned the set. Perhaps they can redesign the fitted sheets - use elastic that is thicker and tighter sewn to also accommodate thinner mattress widths.

We've had these sheets for about a year and a half now. I'd give them 5 stars for softness. They still feel wonderful. But I had to deduct stars for them being way too big. At the time we bought them we had a 11" deep king mattress and they were so loose. They always bunched up and it drove me absolutely nuts. We recently got a 14" mattress and while they do fit better and there's less bunching, shockingly they are still too big. We need another set of sheets and I'm torn on whether or not get more of these.

Not sure it is Pima cotton. Tag says 100% cotton. Material is not as soft as other Pima cotton sheets I own.

Great, comfortable sheets, love the color, hemstitched border, fabric. Unfortunately, I have a mattress that is 8" deep, and the fitted sheet swims on the mattressalways a mess. I have no intention of buying one of those 15" mattresses- I love my firm foam mattress.

I love the color and fabric feel of these sheets. My only criticism is that the fitted sheet is much too big in length making for a sloppy fit. Why make the sheet over an inch longer than the mattress?

They're not that soft. At times they feel a little rough on my skin.

I do not have a thick mattress and these sheets do not create a tight fit for the bottom sheet. I'm sleeping on big wrinkles.

I bought 3 sheet sets from different vendors to compare quality, feel and cost. These came in 3rd. Too expensive and scratchy. Others were softer and more affordable. Keep looking.
