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

Lovely sheet set. Washes well. However the "Pink Clay" is not as pink or rosy as in the picture. It's darker than in the photo, and also brownish. Not as cheery-looking in IRL as in the photo.

I liked these sheets even before I slept on them. The material is light and soft -- very comfortable against your skin. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I have not washed them yet, so couldn't include that in my review. Otherwise, these are wonderful sheets and I recommend them.

Sheets are good sized. They don't short sheet you. However, they aren't as soft as I like.

As far as fabric comfort, color, and laundry care are concerned these sheets get five stars. However, for those of us who could not lift a queen-size innerspring mattress that is 15 or more inches deep to change the sheets, these queen size sheets are unusually over-large in sizing.The bottom sheets are difficult to fully tuck under a 11-12 inch mattress and the top sheets are so long and wide that they become tangled during sleep. I have considered buying top sheets for a standard full (aka double bed) but am not sure that will solve the problem.

Sheets are good. The sheets are thinner and lighter than I wanted; but they cost much less than my previous heavier sheets. Bought online, unseen, based on Wirecutter review.

They feel great but the fitted sheet often comes unfit!

I read a ton of reviews and PR pieces online and everyone seemed to love these LL Bean sheets. So we had high hopes. Having slept on them for a week or so now, I do like them. They're our second favorite pair of sheets.

I like them, comfortable and breathable. I am very sensitive to the skin-feel of sheets and clothes and after the first wash I was a bit concerned, but with each wash they become more and more comfortable, and I really enjoy them now. They are slightly oversized but I prefer that for bedsheets, easier to fit especially as I feel like my bed also runs a big too large for most bed sheets. I would describe the texture as like, "Sheeny" on the scale of like a full cotton t-shirt (1) to a sports athleticware shirt (10), I would declare these bedsheets a 6, but washing helps a lot with this to break them down.

Very nice feel. Issue w length of flat sheet, which is short for a California king w a thick mattress.

The sheets are excellent. The only thing I do not like is the width of the top sheet. We have a king bed and the top sheet nearly touches the floor on both sides; way too long. I am going to have to cut it down. So I likely will not purchase another set.

I just bought 2 sets of sheets and like the look and feel of them. Other reviews listed a loose fit to the fitted sheet. It has a fully elastisized edge, and the pocket as I measured it is 14". My queen mattress (for this queen sheet) along with a light mattress cover measures 10" so I will have to tuck them under quite well, but the matching size on something like my king, which is 13" they would fit just so. I suspect they are made a generous size to fit various sized mattresses. I have not washed them yet, and suppose over time there might be a bit of shrinkage.

Nice color, soft texture, but larger than our queen size mattress.

Way too big and not high quality. I returned these.

I love the feel of these sheets. They are silky smooth and really soft. I just wish they fit more tightly on my king mattress. They are baggy on the sides and won't stay tucked under, resulting in ripples on the top.

These sheets do feel high quality, but have continued to feel a little stiff even after a few washes. They also feel sometimes slippery, the case not staying put on the pillow, for example . Overall value for money, though, they are good, especially when they are on sale.

I was worried as they feel almost slick but they are great.

We love the feel of the sheets. The fitted sheet is large for our Avocado mattress, but love the top sheet that is much wider than our old sheets--and better for our King mattress.

We bought our sheets a year ago and would love to purchase an extra set. The problem is the pocket is not quite deep enough, and we have to constantly tuck the fitted sheet because it comes loose. If the sheets were made with a 20-inch pocket, I would buy them in a heartbeat and give them 5 stars.

They sheets feel very nice but the bottom sheet is very large and doesn't fit snuggly on my mattress. Other than that I love the sheets.

Found out that I didn't like percale. Just a matter of personal preference. The sheets were fine and I loved the color.

The color is not as bright as it looks on the internet. More of a peachy mauve. These sheets were comfortable after one wash. Love them.

These sheets are very smooth and nice, although it took several washings for them to feel comfortable; they felt stiff after the first washing or two. The fitted sheet doesn't fit as well as I hoped for. My mattress is about 12" high and with the fitted sheet a bit deeper than that and elasticized all the way around, it doesn't tuck in as smoothly as I could wish. The flat sheet is nice and big and fits really well, as do the pillow cases. I'm happy with the purchase, although I'm not sure it's worth the money I spent.

I purchased these sheets last year. While I love the fabric and feel, I do wish the fitted sheet did not have a 15-inch pocket. My mattress is just 9-10 inches deep, so there is too much material to make for a smooth fit.

I washed these sheets several times and they have not wrinkled and material is strong with no piling noted The flat sheet is a bit large for my queen mattress but would buy these sheets again.

We have a pillow top mattress. The top sheet was very generous in the size allowing Extra fabric to easily be tucked under the mattress. However the bottom sheet was not generous on the sides allowing no extra fabric to tuck under the mattress.
