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

Even L.L. Bean is cutting corners. Hate to see it. My fitted sheet ripped after 2 years. I do not see a value in this product when it claims to last. I'm so disappointed. I'd rather pay less if they don't last as long as other brands.

The king sheets are way too big for our kind bed. I love Bean products and looked forward to purchasing these sheets but I will not buy them again.

This is our third sheet set. They always, without fail, tear in the same spot. We have only had the sheets for a year. We have no pets; we have no reason they should tear. They just wear thin and tear. Customer service says they can no longer honor their warranty. A real shame. Generic sheets last longer.

These wore through. I rotate them with $40 sheets from a big box store and those are fine while these much more expensive sheets didn't last. LL Bean said tough luck and won't do anything about it. For the price I recommend to not buy these.

I normally don't write reviews. I received a letter stating the company is raising their interest rates to 31%. I have purchased everything from towels, linens, clothes and gear in the past 30 years. Quality should never be a consideration. I don't mind paying for quality. I use the sheets in my AIRBNB. In the past, they washed well, held shape, were soft and retained their color. I used the sheets once, washed and could not use them again unless I ironed them. They seemed to fade a bit, and felt rough and very wrinkled. They were returned. It is so disappointing that I cannot rely on a company that I have loved for a very long time. The same holds true with beach towels. I washed once, tumbled dry for 15 minutes and hung them. Lint and pulls everywhere. They literally fell apart. I cannot return because they were purchased when they were on sale last year. I usually stock up on sales and rotate them. Please return the quality to match your price point and interest rate.

Like sleeping on sandpaper. These are incredibly itchy, no amount of washing (or fabric softener) helped make them less itchy.

Fabric was not real percale fabric. Felt bad to the touch. Returned which went well.

I got these sheets after seeing NYT Wirecutter article because I suffer from hot sleeping. I normally purchase the threshold target sheets which are so much nicer. Will be returning. These were so scratchy and sheer/transparent. You can see through them and you mattress pad or pillow tags show through.. They look cheap. They also didn't stay tightly on bed and I had to continuously retuck under sheet.

I just received these king sized sheets a couple days ago and right out the package there are loose threads everywhere. I expect decent stitching for sheets that cost over $200. Hopefully they at least hold up well but upon arrival the quality is very poor.

Fitted bottom sheet was way too big for my king Tempur-Pedic Mattress. I washed it 2 times and dried it and it didn't shrink much. Cannot use bottom sheet unfortunately.

Scratchy and cheap, should have stuck to the bamboo sheets I got from macys. Sad these were the NYT wire cut pick

I bought a set of these sheets in 2024 and LOVE them! Cool, soft light weight sheets that fit well I have purchased 2 more sets, and they are awful. Oversized, they do not stay tucked in. Scratchy and heavy weight to them. I gave them away as they are to hot to sleep in

I bought these sheets a little over a year ago (so too late to return) and now there's a major tear in the fitted sheet. Used normally, like any other sheet I've ever owned. This is the first time I've had a sheet tear like this. These are way too expensive to be such low quality.

LL Bean was my go to for bedding. But these sheets?! Paper thin and feels cheap. Very disappointing. Won't purchase again and will be looking for another vendor.

I bought this sheet set after reading reviews about how good and soft they are. They are in fact NOT soft, they have a very thin elastic that doesn't stay on the mattress well and they were the biggest let down as far as a sheet purchase goes. They are definitely not worth the $200 price tags.

I bought these sheets after a long search for nice affordable cotton sheets. These were smooth out of the packaging but after washing once they are so scratchy. Bad enough that I slept poorly and switched them out for my other set of sheets from Target. I'm disappointed and now I can't return them because they've been washed.

Given the great reviews, I purchased these sheets. Bad idea. They felt like polyester and washing/drying didn't change that. I was disappointed because I was expecting the classic feel of percale cotton. The fitted sheet was too loose (length & width, not depth). I haven't had this problem with any fitted sheet in my entire life. Then I realized the elastic band on the fitted sheet was very skimpy. It looks wider than it actually is due to the way it's sewn into the fabric (shame on L.L. Bean for this type of deception). The decorative border on the top sheet and pillowcase looks okay until you wash and dry it. Then all those tiny decorative holes become surrounded by a bunch of puckered fabric. This is not my idea of aesthetically appealing. You may like these sheets if you are overweight, have hot flashes, or have a thing for plastic fabric.

Very unhappy. Scratchy and uncomfortable. I actually through them out after 2 nights.

The fitted sheet did not fit snuggly on my king mattress. Disappointed.

I bought these sheets just over a year ago and while they were fine at first (the fitted sheet was a little smaller than I would like), in just over a year they developed a large tear in the center of the fitted sheet. I've never had this happen to any fitted sheets I've owned prior to this, and these are the most expensive sheets I have purchased. For the price, I would expect better quality that lasts longer than these did.

By my standards these are expensive sheets. They were nice while they lasted, but unfortunately the fitted sheet wore out in just under 3 years and developed a hole. I've had much less expensive sheets all my life and I have never experienced this. Maybe people are just willing to spend a lot more on sheets than I am, but I can't afford to pay that much for less than three years of use.

The mattress fitted sheet was the worst fitting sheet I have ever had. It was much to big. The comfort was not what we wanted. Sheets felt rough to the touch.

Not worth the price, feels cheap. They are scratchy.

I ordered correct size but the sheets are not tight with extra material hanging off each side

I purchased these sheets based upon Wirecutter review, and sadly I am so disappointed in my purchase. The quality is poor. They are flimsy and not at all as was described in the review. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend them. They were expensive and a waste of money. I wish I could return them.
