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

I love these sheets! They are cool and crisp, just like I think sheets should be. In the warm summer, there is nothing better than getting into cool sheets at nighttime. They are plenty big enough for our deep mattresses.

Thank you LLB. I have been searching for years for the perfect sheets and these are it. Smooth and comfy after the first wash. Just washed them the second time and no softener required. Also, they are long enough to have plenty to tuck in at the foot of the bed. Well done. Only suggestion would be for another inch or two on the sides as they fall just to the bottom of the mattress and when you have two people in the bed there isn't much to cover you on the sides, especially if one person tends to tug the sheets when they roll over :)

The percale sheets are so cool, crisp, white and beautiful....just like the sheets that my grandparents had on the attic beds that we all wanted to sleep in at their summer house. They liked good quality and sturdy items that lasted, just what I feel these sheets are.

I bought sets of these sheets in two colors in August, 2014 based on the high ratings they received from a leading consumer magazine. After nearly 3 years of continuous use, these sheets have certainly justified the great review. Because of allergies, I wash these sheets in hot water, and they have not shrunk nor have they noticeably faded. There have been no breaks in the stitching or other signs of wear. The elastic has full stretch all the way around, which along with the generous sizing of the corner pockets, makes it very easy to put on the bottom sheet. I like that the top sheets are wider than many others that I've owned. The sheets were a bit stiff at first, but with use and laundering, quickly became soft and comfortable. These sheets do wrinkle, but I just put them back on the bed immediately after the drying cycle has finished to minimize this.

I've been purchasing these sheets for years. The cotton is wonderful. No pilling or stiffness to this set of sheets. I purchased ivory- they are beautiful on the bed and oh so comfortable. I've tried other leading competitors sheets and always come back to these. My kids now purchase them for their households. You won't regret this purchase and you'll get years of wear out of them, they actually get better and better!

These are my favorite sheets, ever. At age 80, I have tried many, all over the world! I am so happy that I finally found these, and will outfit all the beds in the house. THANK YOU LL BEAN!

I bought a set of these sheets as a wedding gift for a friend after getting a set for my guest room. I tried them out on my own bed first and was delighted with how crisp and yet soft they are. They stay remarkably wrinkle-free on the bed (I got a matching comforter cover as well) and look smooth and feel luxurious. They are the nicest sheets I have gotten in a long time and I recommend them. LL Bean continues to deserve my patronage and support.

This is my third set. I just don't know what it is but I sleep better on these sheets. What ever the magic, please keep it going!

I recently made my second purchase of these plain and simple basic white sheets. In my opinion, they are the very best. I launder the sheets before first use, and find that pima cotton feels silky smooth. They do not cling when you move. They breathe and feel cooler in warm weather than other sheets I have had, never clammy. Sizing is generous both in length and in width. Unless LLBean stops making these available, I will never buy other sheets. As time goes by, I intend to outfit all the beds in my house with LLB Pima Percale Sheets. White, please.

We love these sheets. Different people have different ideas of what sheets should feel like. We prefer these percale cotton sheets over flannel or silk or any other type of sheet we've tried.

We were looking for some quality sheets, and found that the LLBean ones were recommended in an article about cotton quality and thread counts. These seemed expensive compared to the ones from discount "big-box" stores, but a bargain compared to other "luxury" sheets. They are really fine--heavy yet soft, quite luxurious, and since they are backed up by the L.L.Bean guarantee, definitely worth the price.

I received these sheets a couple of weeks ago, they wash beautifully, they are easy on the skin. While they are not super soft they do not scratch. I do not like super soft sheets. They king size fits our Tempurpedic matters perfectly. My only issue with the sheets is the color. I ordered silver sand which looks taupe colored on the screen, but the sheets are actually just beige. I would have preferred more of a taupe color.

I thought I would save a few dollars and purchase cheaper sheets but after two washes the less expensive sheets started to pile. I have washed these sheets a couple of times and they are smooth and wonderful as the day I purchased them. I will be purchasing a second set in the near future. I appreciate knowing that the products I purchase from LL Bean are top quality.

We have LLBean flannel sheets and love them but we needed something for the changing warmer weather. I bought the Pima Cotton Percale sheets and they are great. They washed well so I had nice soft, no pillage sheets. What I really liked is that the fitted sheet actually fits the corners and a little under the mattress so no coming off. It also made it so I didn't need to ask one of my kids to hold down a corner while I pulled the sheets over another corner. I was able to get the job done quickly.

Like sleeping on a cloud. Very generous in size-easy to put sheets on a thick mattress. These are the only sheets I will buy from now on.

It has taken me years to realize that the percale sheets are the ones I want. They are crisp, cool, and sturdy. They are not too soft or too sticky or too pretentious. They last and last, getting a bit softer and more comfortable over time with each wash. These sheets are new. They are starting off well. After two washes they are as I would have expected. They are good. I would expect no less from LL Bean. They were not the cheapest percale sheets I could have found, but I trust LL Bean and it has never disappointed.

Had a really hard time finding sheets to replace older ones that we loved and had lasted forever. Bought two different brands at another major retailer and disliked them both - wrinkled horribly, didn't like the feel, and didn't wash well. Finally I started reading about differences among the various cottons, weaves and thread counts. Realized we were looking for percale, not sateen; that higher thread count didn't necessarily mean better; how to better wash/dry sheets; etc. Purchased these sheets and we love them! They have a crisp, cool yet soft feel, and they wash/dry nicely with a few but not too many wrinkles. While I still think they cost too much, I combined two coupons from LLBean and purchased for just under $100. Just received some additional coupons and am getting ready to purchase another set.

I needed deeper sheets for my new mattress (15+" high) and these fit perfectly. They feel wonderful and I think they'll wear well, being from LL Bean. I ordered another pair in another color and wish that there were more colors to choose from--cranberry, forest green, soft green, pale pink, lavender, etc.

Hate spending Money on sheets but with the 25% off these are so worth the money. Very comfortable and cozy

Nice, smooth, crisp feeling percale fabric. Generously sized. Washes well.

I can't imagine a better set of sheets. Exceptional quality.

These sheets have been fantastic! Great quality, very comfortable, perfect fit. I will be a repeat customer.

These wonderful sheets are just plain good old simple sheets. They fit my mattress well and are very comfortable to sleep on, a new favorite! Excellent quality at an affordable price.

I love these sheets! Smooth,cool, crisp, they are a delight to crawl into at the end of the day.

So, I just discovered the magic of percale. Always had percal as a child but didn't know it until now. I have purchased many sheet sets containing various cottons and thread count only to find 'this isn't the feel I am looking for!'. Now I get it! Someone told me the magic word was 'percale'. I took a chance on this set, particularly with a @5% off sale going on and now sorry I didn't purchase two sets! Lovely. Crisp; just what I had been longing for in a sheet. Light. Lays on the bed so comfortably. Extra long top sheet, yeah! Attractive finish to top of bed sheet hem. A good fit pillow case for queen size pillow. I do have a 3" topper on my mattress requiring extra deep pockets in the fitted sheet; whereas the corners are tight and secure, the sides, right in the middle between the head and foot of the mattress, do not reach under. But after two nights, the fitted sheet hasn't moved, sitting snuggly on the bed. It doesn't matter to me that the fitted sheet doesn't cover the entire mattress, its the corners that are more important for a good fit. I did wash before using and they came out of the dryer looking pretty good. I love the feel against my skin and looking forward to a hot summer night to test the breatheability. I doubt I will be disappointed.
