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

Ordered Cream Color, but color is a YUCKY pale yellow-doesn't go with anything. Bottom sheet comes undone from mattress as if it is too small. Very disappointed.

Sheets were larger than other queen sets I've purchased. I was not happy with the "feel" of the sheet. I washed twice and did not have the expected softness of Pima cotton . I returned the set,

Your more expensive percale sheets were out of stock, so I ordered these, after reading a good review in Consumer Reports. I look for a firm, crispy fabric. I don't mind if they wrinkle when washed. I never dry them in a dryer. These sheets are soft like sateen sheets, and not at all what I want in percale

The sheets were a bit disappointing. While the pockets of the fitted sheet were a great size, the rest of the sheet was too large for our double bed. Also, they did not feel like 100% cotton. They were not soft and comfortable.

Very thin material, a little rough and itchy at first but after a couple of washes they soften up then they do actually feel nice. They simply won't stay tight on the mattress, always bunching. Honestly, I'm going to look into returning these sheets. I had high hopes since my holy grail winter sheets are the LLBean flannel but they just didn't perform how I'd hoped.

They were overwhelmed on the twin bed. It had too much material and I didn't know how much I could stick between the mattresses. It was not tight on top and my son was lost in it. There should be a smaller amount for a single bed.

Fabric is great, color is nice but they are too big. I ordered a full size and the sheets are labeled full size but I feel they are a queen size. My full size mattress is new and measures 11" thick. I will return them.

I am sorry to say these sheets are huge! I have a normal king sized bed and they are gigantic. I kept hoping they would shrink a little but they have not. Since they do not fit correctly, the fitted sheet bunches up terribly. I have bought this item before, I believe, but don't remember them being as bad.

Texture and construction of these sheets is very nice. However, they seem to absorb any body or hand cream I have applied, so the sheets look a little smeared. I have washed them in hot water, but the smears remain. I have never had this happen with any sheets before, regardless of quality level, so it's strange and disappointing. They function well, though, so for that price I will be keeping them.

The fabric is weird- it isn't comfortable. It doesn't feel like cotton at all. I'm very disappointed because NY Times recommended these sheets.

I have had two other percale sheet sets from LL Bean and this doesn't even come close to the quality they are known for. Very disappointed. They puckered around the overstitch seam and the wrinkles wouldn't even come out when I ironed them. Since I iron all my sheets it was very obvious these were not the same quality. All the help the customer service person gave was a lesson on how to wash my sheets (after 75 years I think I know how to do that). And of course return them which I am going to have to do. While they are at it they could use someone new to design some new sheets all of their designs look like the designs on hospital gowns.

The fabric seems fine but the contour bottom sheet is very large. My mattress is 12 in deep but it appears this sheet was made to accommodate mattresses up to 18 in which means that the contour sheet is very very loose. I returned the sheets for full credit.

We expected crisp cotton sheets based on the reviews, these sheets are soft/silky and too big for our mattress.

While the fabric was soft the sheets were huge! It doesn't state that these sheets are made for the highest mattresses, and the flat sheet hung over too much for a standard queen mattress. Unfortunately we had to send them back

Do not last as long as they used to...having to replace them every 2 - 3 years now. Looking for another sheet set.

These sheets just wrinkle too easily after washing and especially after sleeping on them for one night. The pillow cases are the worst, but the top sheet is close behind in terms of wrinkles. Can't leave my pillow cases exposed when bed is made, which I usually do in our long summer months here.

As other reviewers have noted, these were solid, high quality sheets with a fatal flaw: they were noticeably too large for my mattress. Although they had a great feel, the queen-sized sheets were baggy and wrinkly on my standard size queen mattress, which ruined the experience. I'd love them if they were only the right size.

Cotton Percale Sheet Set. The fabric was not what I expected. Didn't feel like 100% cotton more like a polyester cotton mix. I returned it.

I am a long-time and loyal LL Bean customer. I expected the best. The sheets felt great but the fitted queen sheet was much too big for my queen-sized mattress. I have purchased flannel sheets from Bean's many times in the past and they all fit my mattress perfectly. The fitted sheet on the percale set was so big that it was uncomfortable as you couldn't tuck it in enough to avoid it bunching up. I will continue to purchase flannel sheets and other items from Bean's but this set was a disappointment.

The one positive thing I can say about these sheets is that they come in a wide range of colors. Other than that, I can't find anything about them that justifies the exorbitant price. They don't provide enough coverage for my new 14" deep mattress, and they're not at all soft. I ordered four sets; all but the one I opened are going back.

Bought these based on the NYT Wirecutter review. I found them to be unattractively wrinkly, even when grabbing them out of the dryer quickly. I don't really want to be ironing my sheets to make them look good. I also didn't find them particularly soft, even after 50 washings. They're not bad, just not very soft. Worst of all, they are breaking down after only two years. One of the pillows has a big tear.

Purchased these sheets in 2014 and they were awesome...super soft, loved them. Just bought my second set and was sadly disappointed. They are very scratchy...my face felt raw after about an hour. Had to get up and change the sheets. So bummed...was really looking forward to my new sheets, but these are going back. On a positive note, I also repurchased a set of flannel sheets and they were just as lovely as the first time.

I have loved everything I have ever bought from LLBean over many years. Till these sheets. First I ordered a complete set, then had to replace the top sheet (I cut it with scissors wrapping packages!) and then the bottom sheet which had worn through at foot level. But my main beef is the permanent creases in the finished edged of the top sheet. What I do now is: iron the top of the top sheet BEFORE it goes into the dryer and AGAIN AFTER it comes out to try to get the creases to disappear. They do not. The lines are still visible and the sheet top falls into those creases by the first morning after washing. The photo shows what they look like AFTER ironing, before going back on the bed.

280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set The fitted sheet does not fit tightly on our 14.5" mattress, it's as though it is too large. The elastic on the sides can't do it's job to keep it tight. They have been washed only once and I'm hoping they shrink in size to make them fit better. This sheet set drys much faster than our old set, that's a plus! We'll probably go back to Dreamfit sheet sets for our next purchase.

Thin, scratchy sheets. I thought I was buying quality... guess not
