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

These sheets are very cool - as a hot sleeper I appreciated how cool i stayed, but unfortunately I did not get a good nights sleep as they are very scratchy. We are typically very pleased with LLBean products but this one is a disappointment. The search will continue for the ultimate durable but soft cotton sheet.

Did a lot of research on various high quality sheets and these are very highly spoken about. With my experience with the chamois flannel sheets I expected the same level of quality. They are so incredibly thin, and the fabric seems very cheap. Also corse and not pleasant to the touch. Certainly not for the cost of them. I sent them back and over 3 weeks ago and have yet to see a refund. Spoke with someone from CS and they said to wait a few days. Very frustrating and disappointing coming from a company with such a renowned name that touts high quality and customer service.

These sheets got returned fast. They state they are 100% cotton but they feel like polyester. I honestly don't see how they could be cotton and feel that gross.

Fitted sheet has one row of elastic and seems cheaply made in comparison to other sheets. Wouldn't stay on the bed. We awoke to the sheet completely off. Fabric feels nice but if the sheets won't stay on they are useless.

I am so bummed. The reviews were great so I bought a set. They are so scratchy. I've washed them twice, both times as directed. I desperately want to add fabric softener to them but know that's bad for the fabric. I seriously feel like I'm sleeping on sandpaper.

I really wanted to like these. Based on all of the reviews I expected to. I am looking for crisp cotton percale sheets. These had a slipperiness to them. They had the oddest texture when they came out of the washer. Like a slickness. Plus my husband thought they had a pink cast in certain lights. I bought these sheets before and loved them. Something has changed.

Thought I was buying luxurious -- NO NO rough, stiff, uncomfortable

The Wirecutter recommended these sheets as the best percale sheets on the market. I find that they lack the crisp, smooth feel for which true percale is known. And which is what I wanted and expected. Instead they soft and limp, and are rough on my skin, especial on my face.

Sheet were uncomfortable. Felt like they were made of cactus.

Just arrived. I am accustomed to putting new fabrics through an initial washing to remove any chemical that may irritate my skin. I was amazed to find that my washer was full of lint and I examined the sheets to find that the stitches on the hem fell apart. It was very difficult for me to clean the washer drum of lint. In years past I have relied on llbean for quality. Began to notice over the past eight years or more poor quality control. Yet I continued to purchase items hoping "that this time" the quality would be good. What happened to llbean that I relied on for many year. But the bigger question is why I continued to order after so many disappointments. I am ill so that returning items I am dissatisfied with is not possible.

I am sure if you have a thick mattress you love it, but I have a thinner one and I don't know how to handle all the extra fabric. I can tuck and tuck and still have wrinkles!!! Do they make anything for me? The fabric is nice ..but, help!

Purchased this set of sheets solely because the description reads made of Supima cotton. Which would account for the high price for a relatively low thread count. When sheets arrived the label states 100% cotton but Supima is not on tag at all which was a red flag. Washed them and they are not soft. So basically I have overpaid for low thread count cotton sheets? Seems like it.

After second washing I noticed a vertical tear. Doesnt seem like great quality to me. Not going to last much longer I'm afraid I expected better quality for the $

The fitted sheet is way too big! The sheets hang too long after placing on the bed!

I recently bought these and the material is very nice, but they are way too big for the bed and the material hangs over with the fitted sheet that's not snug on the bed! Not satisfied with these!

Expensive purchase for me, was excited when the percale sheets arrived; such good reviews. Washed them, put on my bed, next morning they were all loose, elastic won't hold sheets in place.

Let me just say that I have no problem splurging on sheets or anything for that matter. I found the sheets to be comfortable but they didn't hold up. I don't think they should have worn through in multiple places after a year of use.

This is my second set of flannel sheets. I like them because they are so warm in winter. The first set wore a hole in the bottom sheet even though we only use a few months of the year. The second set is starting to pull heavily after the first use. They are nice but very expensive for the quality.

I received these sheets in September, the following January (3ish months later) after light use the stitching is ripping on the corner of the fitted sheet.

After not quite 2 years of use, the bottom sheet completely ripped through. I air dry our laundry so these were never subjected to the dryer.

Got this as a gift and washed it (by itself) not thinking I would need to check it for stains. There are stains on both pillow cases! :( very disappointed as they are not cheap. I honestly haven't even done a thorough check of the fitted / top sheet because I just made the entire bed which is annoying.

I don't understand the great review from Wirecutter. These were so scratchy, even after 6 washes, that I can't stand to use them. Like sandpaper. And WAY too big for my king-sized mattress. Nothing good about these sheets, except the color was ok.

I bought this exact set nearly seven years ago and they have been well-loved for a long time. I only have one set of sheets, I wash them and return them to the bed so they get a lot of wear. They were finally getting threadbare, I decided to replace them. This set I just bought was plastic feeling and did not soften up with a wash. The fitted sheet was ridiculously large and so loose on my oversized pillow-top mattress that the sheet would get bunched up and wrinkled underneath me. Very disappointed in the quality and will be looking for a new brand of sheets.

Inferior quality. I purchased these sheets in the past when they were made in Portugal. They were fantastic. These were made in China and they were awful!!

The full size fitted bottom sheet is to small to fit on a full size mattress. Completely unusable.
