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

My brother, always wondering what to get me for christmas, sent me these sheets. He did his research and spent $150! I was so excited to try them. I washed them as directly prior to using, and wow, the material is not smooth, but rough to the touch and overall too scratchy to sleep comfortably. I would return them but had thrown all the packaging and gift receipt away thinking LL Bean sheets at this price would be the best sheets I own.

Fantastic sheets. Wear like iron but smooth and soft.

Unbelievably scratchy sheets that don't breathe. Wirecutter really got it wrong with their pick here.

I paid well over $100 for this sheet set thinking it would last more than 2 years. The fitted sheet just got a long rip in it. Very disappointed in the quality. It used to be that sheets lasted a long time. This is the most expensive sheet set I've ever bought. I also buy quite a few LLBean products as you can see in my picture. Duet cover, Maltese coverlet, towel sets, etc. (Waterhog mats, laundry room rug)

I ordered these sheets after seeing them recommended by wirecutter and the high star reviews. I'm not sure if got sheets from a bad batch or have highly sensitive skin but I am extremely disappointed. I had to start sleeping in pants and long sleeves, and eventually resorted to buying sheets from another company. Usually I am very happy with ll bean products, and am very sad these missed the mark. I'd recommend looking for sheets elsewhere.

I bought these thinking they will last a long time. They did not. The flat sheet got completely ripped along the edges after 2-3 years.

These are the most uncomfortable sheets I have ever slept on. The fabric is stiff even after washing. The flat sheet is way too big. I bought queen size.

I couldn't be more disappointed in these sheets. They are the most expensive sheets I've ever bought and they feel like cheap sheets you'd buy at a closeout discount store. They are AWFUL. I was expecting a soft cotton that would feel good when I got into bed. Instead, they are scratchy and feel like polyester. The only thing I like about them is the color. I wanted to return them because I will never use them, but the return was too much of a hassle.

Didn't last more than 2 years before seams started splitting and ripping apart.

I love these sheets because of their size. There is actually plenty of top sheet to cover up with without stealing from your bed partner.

These are advertised as pima cotton sheets which I've always had great luck with, but not so much this set. The tag on the sheets does not show "pima" and they are like sleeping in paper! I've tried washing them a few times to see if they will soften up, but no luck. I will be returning this product. First time I've ever been really disappointed in an LL Bean sheet set!

Way more rough than I expected. Thought maybe they'd soften with multiple washes but just a lot more textured than I guess I expected.

I have bought 2 sets previously that I loved but the new set does not feel like 100% cotton. do you have a different vender? not happy

Worst sheets I've ever purchased. Uncomfortable, scratchy, I am afraid to buy anything else from llbean now, for fear that the quality has gone. All my sheets are from llbean. Never had issues in the past, but this was a lot of money for the worst sheets I've ever slept on.

Had to return two sets of thesethey were very scratchy even after many washes (tried vinegar and baking soda etc).

Very deep fitted sheet won't work on a smaller mattress.

I purchased these sheets after reading a very positive independent review and recommendation. After the first washing, wrinkles formed along the top binding that no amount of ironing would remove. Then after a year and a half, the bottom fitted sheet actually wore away and split. to their credit, LL Bean did issue a gift card in the amount of my purchase price. However, I would NOT recommend these sheets.

Sheets performed well for three years then split down the middle of fitted sheet. Called and was told that's beyond reasonable warranty period. I wonder how long they are expected to last? Disappointed. Not the first time. So much for LLBean quality.

I have been a loyal if irregular L Bean customer for most of my 81+ years and ordered these sheets with confidence that turned out to be totally misplaced. They are uncomfortable and repeated washing does nothing to soften them.We have used them once and I very much doubt that we will use them again. $150+ down the drain.

From other independent reviews, I expected so much more from these sheets! The fabric does not have the substantial feel I expected, and the hemstitched border is very narrow. I washed the sheets prior to use, and attached photo shows what happened to the border. I am returning immediately.

These sheets would probably make a good tarp. The only thing that might be good about them is durability, but I wasn't going to sleep in them long enough to find out. After two restless nights I sent them back. They were the most uncomfortable sheets I've ever slept in. And I used to regularly stay in "extended stay" hotels for work.

I have purchased other bed linens from LLBean in the past and have never been disappointed. Then I purchased these sheets thinking that they would be higher quality than those I had purchased elsewhere. Right at three years after purchase, I noticed very thin material and holes in only one place on the bottom sheet. I have never returned anything to LLBean used, much less after three years. LLBean argued it was bc our feet were wearing them thin. This is a king size bed, with same dimensions on each side, therefore the bottom sheet goes on a different way each time. So, if their argument was true, they would wear in the same spot in 4 corners (not 1)where we our feet are. Pretty disappointed in the quality! LLBean should not carry this product, or they should send me a new bottom sheet. Although they said they would send them back, They still have my sheets or I would attach a photo.

The material is weird and they are oversized. These were recommended by Wirecutter but I can't imagine why. I am going to try and return them. They are slippery in a way all good cotton sheets should not be.

I decided to buy these percale sheets based on reviews. I received the product. Washed them. They are not crisp, very limp. I washed them again thinking they still had sizing in them. This did not help. They are very rough to sleep on. They definitely do not feel like 100% cotton sheets. Very poor product.

I have always loved L.L. Bean sheets however the sheets are not crisp and cool even when you first lay on them after washing them you don't get that fresh crisp feeling. They stain easy I am so disappointed
