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

I finally found these sheets via a Consumer Reports review where the only other sheets that were rated higher were $350 a set. I am not normally an LL Bean customer, nor was I excited at the prospect of having to spend $150 to get a decent set of sheets but these are truly outstanding. Great pocket depth on the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet is oversized in a good way. Plenty of room for tucking or pulling side to side if you toss and turn at night.

I mean you could pay a whole lot more to get similar quality satin sheets, Irish linen or Italian weaved cotton but it wouldn't be very pragmatic, who said sheets had to be buttery soft? These sheets are beautifully crisp feeling, they regulate heat better than any sheet Iv owned ever, and I feel I can trust their life will be long due to so many reddit posts and the fact that l.l.bean is a pretty ethical company to begin with, the only regret I have is agonizing over the purchase for so long.. like seriously, buy these sheets, you've arrived here because you took your time, now reward yourself.

Well made luxurious feeling. We've gotten a lot of sheets at discount outlets etc. through the years and we appreciate the difference with this high-quality product. The old saying "you get what you pay for "holds true in this case!

My wife and I both love the feel of these sheets. And, as a side note, I appreciate the fact that the fitted sheet is marked "short side" and "long side". It makes putting the sheet on much easier for a klutz like myself.

These sheets are my new favorites. High quality and they feel great.

Sheets were cool, crisp, comfortable, and perfect for hot, sticky, humid, un-air-conditioned summer nights in the Upper Midwest. Washed well, hung to dry outside, look neat, felt great. Perfect.

Absolutely terrific sheets; super comfortable, we both love them, seem to be even softer after washing.

Sheets are soft, look good straight from the dryer. I want another set when my budget allows.

We already have a set of LLBean flannel sheets for the wintertime that we love, so when I needed a new set of summer sheets I came back to Bean. I love the feel of a nice thin percale sheet and was not disappointed. These get softer with each wash and are crisp and cool to the touch like percale ought to be. We've only been using them a few months, but so far they have held up very well. Also really appreciate the small tags inside the fitted sheet noting which side is the long and which the short. A small but nice touch.

This is the second time I've ordered these sheets for a bed. I will never go to another brand. I sleep extremely hot and have several types/styles of sheets. These feel cool and sleep cool.

Very nice sheets. Well worth the price.

Crispy feel that I like..

I must admit I was a little hesitant to order these sheets because of what seemed to me to be a low thread count. I'm very particular about sheets and like them soft. However, I was pleasantly surprised. These sheets are soft and so comfortable. They wash up nicely and are wrinkle free. I've been raving about them since I tried them. Even recommended them to a friend who was looking for new sheets.

Very satisfied. Pretty color, deep corners, very smooth and soft. Will buy more.

First time ever writing a review online, but want to share how great these sheets are. I do agree with the other reviews just feeling them before washing in the packaging I was skeptical. After about 3 washes/weeks of use I am sold and love these sheets. Our mattress is a pretty standard size, but I have never been able to get sheets to tuck on the sides and these do. I have hated how messy the bed looked with sheets that weren't long enough to tuck on the sides.

I purchased these sheets because Consumer Reports listed them as the best, they weren't lying. They feel amazing in bed. I've purchased several sets since my first...love them so much!

Great quality, fit, feel and look

I did a lot of research before buying these sheets, and I have been disappointed with other sheets purchased over the internet in the past (even though I did research then too), but these are just what I was hoping for! Crisp but not crunchy, and not slippery. Just right! Thank you.

I had contemplated buying these sheets for so long and now that I have them I'm kicking myself for not ordering sooner. These are the types of sheets that create the feeling of slipping into a cool bed night after night - even wash after wash. I'm so impressed with how they feel to the touch and keep their 'newness' after washing. I'll be buying more of these!

I've been using these sheets for years. They are my favorite. Cool and comfortable.

Keep you cool in summer. Wash up nice. Love to hang them out on the clothesline and smell so fresh. Stay almost completely wrinkle free. These are the only sheets I will buy!

These sheets fit or cal king bed great and they're nice and cool for the summer as well. Good quality fabric that should last for many years. I'd buy them again.

Nothing beats to cool, crisp feel of Percale Woven Sheets in Supima, Pima or Egyptian cotton for summer sleeping. Fit is very generous to put it mildly, and thoughtful touches like completely elasticized bottom sheet with helpful tags to alert you to the LONG vs SHORT side of the sheet when making your bed. The hand of the fabric, in this case 100% Pima Cotton, is beautiful, but be WARNED!: The sizing the manufacturer uses to give them the shiny, crisp hand right out of the package MUST BE WASHED AS FOLLOWS or these lovely sheets will feel like sleeping on sandpaper! Prior to fist use, I put them in my Front Loading washer ( sheets/ pillow cases only ) and 5 ( yes- 5 TIMES Separately ) I wash them with 1 Cup Plain ARM & Hammer Baking Soda! use PLAIN WHITE VINEGAR in my Fabric Softener cup, wash on a longer cycle, warm water, cold rinse, ( extra rinse if possible ) low-med Spin. DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER YET! Wash them 4 more times as described above, and on the 6th wash, again washing linens alone, use a very small amount of detergent, fabric softener and dry on low removing promptly. Your sheets will feel like you've washed them 200 times while still retaining the crisp hand, cool summer sleeping they are best known for. The quality, like most LL BEAN, is exceptional.

I have been using these sheets for years and I love them. They are very comfortable, well made sndslways look good.

I prefer percale sheets and these are the best. They wash well and do not wrinkle excessively. There are some little touches that remove irritants when making the bed. The top of of the flat sheet is finished so there is no right or wrong side. Both sides of the top of the flat sheet are the same. On the king sized fitted sheet there is a tag which says "short side"no more finding I was putting the sheet on the wrong way and having to start over!
