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

I am also wondering if these sheets have changed in some way, as I found them to be among the worst I've slept on. They were very scratchy and made me itch, which I've never experienced before. I washed them five times in hopes they would soften, but they did not. I returned them to LL Bean without a problem. The sales rep at my local store was great.

I purchased these sheets based upon reviews and even ratings on other websites and these were not soft or smooth in any way. Very scratchy. I know the difference between percale and sateen...I know I want percale but these were not good.

I read many reviews and was looking forward to receiving my order. When I opened the package I noted the scratchy feel of the sheets. I thought laundering would improve this. While the sheets are crisp, I could never stand the scratchy overtone against my skin. I will use the sheets somewhere but not on my bed. Perhaps over time they will improve.

Bought this set a few months ago. Thought the finishing was very nice, however, the fabric was quite coarse compared to a cheaper comparable percale set from another well known box store. Ended up giving them away.

I have had these sheets for a while and with the exception of the fabric above the hemstitch they don't wrinkle. The fabric above the hemstitch wrinkles so badly that if you don't iron it, what should be about 4" wrinkles to less than an inch. It's INCREDIBLY annoying. If this isn't a problem for you then the sheets are great, if it is DO NOT BUY THEM.

One star for the color, it matches my existing linens perfectly. Otherwise, these are very rough and scratchy. They felt ok in the package so I washed and dried them twice before using. I couldn't fall asleep because these made me itch so badly, had to change the sheets. Will not buy again.

This sheet set is the same quality that I expect from LL Bean. It is like the sheets that I slept on as a child in the 1950's. The thread count is superior and you can feel the difference. I would recommend these sheets to anyone who enjoys a quality product that will last for a long time.
