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

Helper put sheets on bed before washing. Woke up very itchy! The sheets seemed rough. Where are they made?

I really wanted to fall in love with these sheets. That did not happen. The queen size was too large for my queen mattress, even after washing in hot water and drying on a high setting. After the first night, they were just a mess of sheets and very uncomfortable. They seemed to retain my sweat (l have terrible night sweats) and l felt hotter on them, not cooler. Thank goodness l didn't toss my very old set of sheets. Unfortunately, l am now stuck with a set of $140.00 sheets l cannot use. Really bummed out, and a bit more broke.

Scratchy Did not get softer with repeated washings. Returned

Wouldn't normally buy sheets from LLBean but had a gift card from a return and needed sheets so figured I would give it a try. Very disappointed. Very rough and scratchy!! Not comfortable at all. Will try washing a few more times, but will likely return. For the price I would have expected much better quality/comfort!

These sheets were a terrible disappointment. They are ill fitting. Too "baggy" on the bed.

These sheets were very rough and scratchy. Not smooth! Caused itching.

I purchased a duvet cover a while back in the same line. I am very pleased with the soft, smooth feeling of the duvet. But these sheets are ridiculous. They are so rough they make a scratching noise when I run my hand across the fabric. And the color is dull for this line. And of course they are so very wrinkled after a wash and dry even with softener in the rinse cycle. I don't want to wash sheets for years until they get soft, if they ever do. I want the sheets to give me immediate comfort. I am going to return these. I am sooo disappointed L.L. Bean!

This was my second set on these sheets. Adored these sheets when I purchased them however I'm very disappointed with the premature wear of the second set. The bottom sheet wore through in only a year and a half. The first set is still in perfect condition with longer usage. Considering the quality and purchase price I feel that the bottom should have lasted for several more years. Will not purchase again.

i feel ridiculous feeling so strongly about this / writing this, but i have never hated a set of sheets until these, haha. they are horribly scratchy, even after multiple washes...i've actually had to switch back to old pillowcases because i can't fall asleep with these ones scratching my face! when i first got these sheets i washed them and then had a guest sleep on them, before i had tried them out...i'm mortified that i made my guest sleep on such uncomfortable sheets! i bought them because of good reviews, but now that i look more carefully it seems like more recent reviews are negative...based on ll bean responses it does seem like these have been updated recently...i definitely do not recommend them in their current state.

These sheets feel like sandpaper! I wanted to return them but didn't want the hassle as I was just getting around following surgery. So I washed them thinking it would help. I was WRONG! Hemstitching at the top is even worse. I see "Pima Cotton" and think soft and comfortable. What happened LLBean? Yours sheets were once the best for the price. Can't believe I spent $149.00 for these. At this price point I expect much better. I can get softer sheets from the lower end, big box type stores for a fraction of the price. Unfortunately they have been laundered, the packing disposed of along with the return stickers and I'm not paying to return them. I was planning to purchase the flannel sheets next but now I'm not so sure.

The fabric is very soft. I loved the color. A couple of months ago I noticed that the fabric was fraying and getting very thin in the middle of the sheet. I purchased it at the end of 2016. I was disappointed that the sheet didn't hold up to the quality that I have always had with LL Bean.

I bought these because I am a HUGE fan of LL Bean's products but these things are very uncomfortable. I should have heeded the reviews that said they were rough but I figured based on the positive reviews and the rave report of a national Consumer Magazine the negative reviews were outliers, they were not. PROS: - They fit well - Seem well tailored CONS: - Very scratchy even after washing, I made the bed, my wife ran her hand across the bed and said "NO" - Price - 2 versus 4 pillow cases as found in many sets

I grew up with ll bean cotton sheets and they were always so wonderful. These feel like actual sandpaper on your skin. Especially on the pillowcases, it's impossible to ignore the painful scratchy feel to the cotton. I am so disappointed and don't even want to use them.

I was very disappointed in these sheets. I washed them first and they came out a wrinkled mess. I have had percale sheets before that felt smooth and soft to the touch but these do not. I do not look forward to sleeping on them tonight. I will learn to live with them but not happy about my purchase which is something that I have never said before about L.L. Bean products...

I plan to return these sheets, washed them twice hoping to soften them but they're still scratchy.

We purchased this sheet set after much research and review reading and were extremely disappointed. My husband had to remove the sheets in the middle of the night just to try to get some rest. These sheets are crisp and itchy, not luxurious and soft like we wanted. We understood that pima cotton is a type with extra-long fibers, I just didn't realize I'd feel those fibers crawl across my face like insects when my cheek slid across the pillowcase. We tried the "hack" of washing with a vinegar rinse, but nothing could get that sandpaper feel out of the sheets. I wish we would have spent more time reading the 1 and 2 star reviews.

Utterly disappointing. On the first wash, I followed the instructions listed on the tag, but ended up with terrible brown stains throughout. Not even Spray-and-Wash would get them out. I tried to discuss with customer service, but they blamed my washer. Seems interesting that the only time I've ever experienced this staining issue is with these sheets. Look elsewhere

I've purchased a set of these sheets about 2 years ago for a twin sized bed that hardly gets any use. The fitted sheet unraveled and developed huge holes, and LL Bean wouldn't even send me a replacement. Made in China and not durable anymore, be warned!

I have a Tempurpedic King size bed. I called L.L. Bean after I put the fitted sheet on to inform them that it was too big. I told them I have a regular King Size bed, not a California King Size bed. The rep told me it shouldn't matter. It definitely does! How is a 1-sized sheet designed to fit 2 sizes? It can't. The sheets are too big and whenever I tossed and turned, the fitted sheet would fold underneath my body and then pull up around the corner closest to my upper body. I would have to re-adjust the corner elastic fitting area around the mattress every morning after waking up. I can't believe this isn't a problem with other customers. I puzzled why this product received such great reviews. So glad L.L. Bean has a great return policy and exceptional customer service.

I have purchased these sheets in the past and been very happy with them, so I happily and confidently ordered them again. This time, I am very dissatisfied. The sheets have a shiny/slimey feel to them. I will not be buying them again.

We have slept on LL Bean pima cotton sheets for years. We returned this set because the texture of the sheets was unpleasant. They were coarse and the overall texture of much cheaper fabrics.

I am very disappointed in these sheets. They are far too big for a twin mattress and uncomfortable as they slip off while sleeping.

I never write reviews on items, but I was so disappointed in these sheets!!! They are rough and scratchy and not at all what I was expecting. I read the reviews and ordered them thinking I was getting a great set of sheets for a good price, unfortunately, I got a set of sheets I will probably never use unless absolutely necessary. I could have gotten a set of sheets at Wal-Mart for a lot less that feels better than these sheets!!!! Don't waste your money!

I ordered these sheets based on the reviews. The fitted sheet doesn't have good elastic and even if it did it is way too big for my 15-inch mattress. No one wants to sleep on a sheet that is all bunched up and not smooth. It isn't smooth even before sleeping on it because it is so big. I will stick with Wamsutta Dream Zone 1000-thread count Pima cotton sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond. Best fitted sheets by far and only $10 more with coupon. I'm sorry I wasted money on these.

Only after laundering these sheets for the first time did I discover that the fabric is chemically treated to reduce wrinkling. While the treatment fails to make the sheets wrinkle free, it does make it impossible to iron them to a crisp finish: the worst of both worlds. In addition, the treatment imparts a sickly pinkish tinge to the set of white sheets that I ordered. The fabric also has a very unpleasant hand due to the chemical treatment. Had the website described these sheets as 'treated' or 'no-iron' or any other term that would have alerted me to the fact that they are not simply cotton percale sheets, I would not have ordered them. If LL Bean wants to sell no-iron sheets, then it should have them treated effectively and labeled accordingly. And in any case, LL Bean should offer an untreated cotton percale sheet set.
