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

I had high expectations for these sheets based on the reviews I read prior to purchasing. The sheets are "scratchy" feeling and not "cool" to the touch as expected. My search will continue for a decent set of sheets.

Sheets are not as soft as I had hoped, but well made.

I thought based on the Wirecutter review these sheets would be great but they are kind of itchy. They will probably hold up better and longer than other sheets I've purchased though.

Disappointing. The material seems cheap, not worth the price. The fit is too big so the bottom sheet slides around and bunches up.

These sheets are generously sized and seem to be sewed well, so I expect them to last for years. Unfortunately they feel rough to the touch, not like I expect percale to feel. I've washed them several times, but they are not getting any softer. I checked the country they were made in and was very disappointed. This company used to be well known for made in the USA products, but no more. The country of origin of these sheets is a country I do not choose products from if I can help it.

The bottom sheet did not exactly fit my King Bed - the pockets for the short side were too far apart and so did not meld with the edge of the mattress.

I bought these sheets in pink which are a nice soft color but for the price I expected them to be softer. I appreciate how nice they look when they come out of the dryer. They are completely flat and do not fold over or wrinkle.

The feel of these sheets is a little scratchy for the price. Waiting to see how they hold up; seem thinner than expected.

The sheets fit well but they aren't very soft. I was a little disappointed. I bought them because they got a good rating in consumer reports.

Sheets did not fit the mattress adequately. When they were washed according to the directions, they shrank even more. I wouldn't buy them again. Not worth the price.

The sheets are very nice. But also very large! I have a pretty good size sleep number bed. And the sheets are huge. As stated, they do not shrink. This is a plus, but I am finding them very baggy.

The sheets looked fine, but I returned them because I wanted a darker blue

Expected better for the price. They're very thin, and now I understand why some reviewers said "scratchy". On the plus side, they are plenty deep for my very thick mattress.

The sheets are too big for a king mattress. They stretched quickly. The top sheet is way too big

The fabric is fine, but I'm very disappointed with the fit of the fitted sheet. The corners fit poorly.

Sheets were OK but initial washing did not get the sizing out of them. Since they are also a bit loose on my mattress, I'm going to try washing them in hot water - which at least we "old folks" expect to be able to do with 100% cotton sheets.

A little scratchy. Size is perfect with deep pockets. Top sheet fits nice and long also.

The cotton fabric is very smooth but not slick. It washes and dries very well. However, I ordered a queen size set and it's quite large on my mattress. The fitted bottom sheet does not fit tautly. It has a tendency to bunch up when we sleep. I bought these because Consumer Reports gave them a good review but I won't reorder them.

Good fit with deep pockets but a bit scratchy. Not crisp like my last set from LLBean.

These sheets fit my bed well and will be my back-up set. I don't dislike them enough to go through the hassle of returning them but they are not what I expected. I love the crisp feel of percale. These sheets have a slight plasticky feel to them, as if spandex or something similar is part of the fabric. They do not resemble any percale I'm familiar with. I can't speak on their durability as I've only washed them once and slept on them for a week. Will not repurchase.

I bought three different sets of $100+ sheets from various recommended retailers to test for quality and comfort. These were the lowest of the three and the highest priced. They weren't uncomfortable, just...normal. I didn't wash them multiple times first (as some say is required to make them softer) because the other two sets didn't require it to be softer. I also wanted to stay within the return window. I didn't think these were good value for money so returned them.

We have had these sheets before and love them. However, the fitted bottom sheet had two half inch slices in the top right half of the sheet. We did not find them until after we had slept and washed them. We patched the sheets with iron on patches. Not sure if we could return them after use. But love the feel and this is out third or fourth set.

Disappointed with how thin/light these sheets are. Have purchased in the past and remember them being more substantial. Will see how they last, not sure I would recommend for this price.

I have had the sheets a little over a year now. The material is durable and has held up well with regular washes but it does discolor fairly easily. For this premium of a product I would have hoped for a little more out of it.

I bought these for a 15" Cal King mattress and didn't notice the pocket depth. These sheets are only 15" deep and not for thick mattresses so if you have a 12" or thicker mattress topped by any type of topper, these sheets either won't fit or will be barely deep enough and then tend to ride up and not stay tucked in. I am used to buying 18" or 21" deep pocketed sheets from another vendor and didn't think to check the pocket depth when I ordered. Unfortunately will be returning.
