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

Sheets feel very luxurious for 280 TC, nice color & fit well. Also wash & dry well.

These sheets are the bomb! Order with confidence!!!

I ordered these sheets because they came so highly recommended by the NY Times Wirecutter writers, and I can see why. They are so easy to put on the mattress and they look and feel wonderful. I will be buying another set.

Thick, durable and soft. I always thought low thread count = not soft, but that is a fallacy. These sheets are so soft. I've purchased several sets. While I have purchased other sheets at fancier places, they end up tearing in the wash after a year or two. I can tell these sheets will last a very long time. I could probably send my kids away to college with their sets.

Very nice cotton and a good fit on an extra wide mattress.

These sheets are everything they are advertised to be. The feel is great - percale is cool but smooth to the touch

These are the only sheets I will buy! They are reminiscent of the percale sheets I grew up with. I have bought some of the most expensive sheets to replicate the crisp, breathable percale sheets I grew up with, and none have come as close as L.L. Bean's sheets. Plus, they are generously sized, unlike much more expensive brands.

This sheets perform very well. They wash well with little shrinkage and provide a soft comfortable sleeping environment.

These sheets are a little more expensive than what I usually spend. However, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". They are absolutely fabulous!! Cool, crisp and excellent quality.

They should know about the quality of the product.

Exactly what we're looking for, bought send set. Cool and smooth, real percale feel.

Crisp and cool. Texture similar to satin. They don't trap my heat. Just what I want.

Gorgeous, comfortable, great quality. Very pleased.

Great sheets. Very soft but also feel durable. They are my new favorites.

These lives up to the NYTs hype! They keep getting better with each wash.

I love these sheets! I've ordered several sets in full and queen and have been happy with all of them. They are my go-to sheets: crisp, yet soft and comfortable. And they wear well through many washings.

Very happy with my purchase. I bought the sheets for the guest room. Now, I want some for the master bedroom. Went on very easily and like the blue color.

The fabric feels different from other percales I have tried so was unsure. Definitely a cooler sleep which I have been looking for. Laundered fabulously. Highly recommended! Only critique is no label as to top/bottom as now seeing on other brands.

Wirecutter's review of these sheets, which is what caught my attention, described them well: soft, tightly-woven Pima cotton; generously measured. It was suggested there that this firmness of make and cotton lent a slight "roughness" to the feel against the skin. Quite the opposite. Soft, out of the package and only will get more so with washing. Note: I have a platform bed with one, firm mattress, so the bottom sheet is cut more for the style of an especially thick mattress and the top sheet almost touches the floor on the sides. I suspect unless you want to have custom-made sheets, this is what the market offers (unfortunately, in my view).

They fit the bed Making the bed is easy. Generous top sheet.

These sheets are soft, wash beautifully, and are the right size so that there is enough to tuck under at the bottom and sides. Also love the pillow cases which are fully stitched and not the annoying "envelope" style that some other sheets have.

feels wonderful to sleep under these sheets it has a clean crisp feeling. highly recommended

Very good, but the smooth, with a somewhat slippery/silky quality. To me, this was more like a not really 100% cotton sheet, compared to my past experience with other brands including other top NYT Wirecutter recommendations, as well as Casper and Wamsutta sheets. Perhaps it's just a finer weave. Anyway, the LL Beans sheets been through a few washes. They still look and feel good. Compared to the other brands they are not so prone to wrinkling. I always air dry the sheets and flatten them out which helps, but another high quality Portuguese made cotton sheet wrinkled so badly that those had to be returned. Another very good selling point is that the top/flat sheet is a few inches larger than many brands. The bottom sheet is also "deep", made for one of those mile high pillow top mattresses. Fortunately, it still stays well secured for our Casper mattress. The pillow cases are also decent and generously sized, the worst I ever got were from Blu Dot - they were so small they barely fit a very average sized pillow. So, all in all, these LL Bean sheets are a good thing. I'd buy it again.

Excellent. Does not pill. Top rated by wire cutter and now I see why. Very impressive!

Don't let the thread count deter you. These sheets are smooth and comfortable! I've converted everyone in my family, and now we all use LL Bean Pima percale.
