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

As usual, bedding from LLBean is a great quality and long lasting. Very pleased with my purchase.

Fitted sheet is really deep If your mattress is less than 17 inches then the fitted sheet will be really, really loose. Other than this, the sheets are great.

I like the sheets, particularly the width of the top sheet. The top sheet on last two sets that I bought elsewhere were short on the sides with an extra-long bottom. The downside is they aren't as soft as percale, causing them to wrinkle. They are sturdy, and I believe they will last a long time.

I love these sheets! They do not fit as snug on the mattress as some I've had in the past, but they feel amazing and wash well with minimal wrinkes and i would definitely buy again

These sheets are comfortable and wash well. My only gripe is that the top flat sheet is so oversized that it looks sloppy. It doesn't make sense that, while the fitted sheet is just large enough to fit a thick mattress, the flat sheet is just way too wide, almost as if it was for a king mattress vs. a queen. There is so much extra material on each side that it hangs far below our comforter when the bed is made. :(

The first thing that I noticed was that the sheets and pillowcases are very generous. It is easy to put on the fitted sheet and the top sheet leaves plenty of material to tuck in. Other fitted sheets that I have tried fit as tight as a trampoline and the top sheet has barely enough material to tuck in.

I have six sets of these sheets in different colors, this set being the latest bought. I love the feel of the cotton material and though the color is rather dull, it is comfortable to look at. What concerns me is the width of the sheets. I have a fourteen inch thick mattress and the sheet barely fits under the sides of the mattress after one wash. Overall though, I love the sheets!

Sheets are a little loose on the mattress despite being a deep mattress. Fabric and color are nice. This is the second purchase of these sheets, others are a pretty blue.

Fit my 15" mattress well. The green is almost blue. They're a little crisper than I expected, but hopefully will soften with laundering.

High quality seamstress work with excellent elastic fitting. The butter yellow color is beautiful and they washed well. The cotton fabric is high quality and a good weight. They are a bit more wrinkled and a little stiff after first wash but softening & relaxing nicely after a couple more washes. I have owned several pair of these sheets over the years and never been disappointed.

The queen sheets have a nice feel and the top sheet is very generous. My mattress is 13 " deep and the bottom sheet when initially put on bed seemed to be made for a mattress that was at least 15" deep. After the first wash it did shrink a little but it is still not a smooth fit. Hopefully it will continue to shrink a little but not too much. If you have a really deep mattress, you will love this set.

The fabric and yellow color are nice, but disappointed by the flimsy elastic on the bottom sheet. It makes for a loose fit. I also would expect a pillow pocket on the pillow cases.

I've only just washed these sheets once and tonight, will be my first night sleeping on them. They did come out of the dryer fairly well. Not wrinkle-free, but close. We'll see....

I purchased a king set of 280-thread cotton percale sheets in February. Although I am disappointed that the bottom sheet does not fit snugly on all 4 corners of a SleepNumber 11-inch deep mattress (even the sides come loose after a night of use), I decided to keep them. The top sheet is very nicely ample. Percale sheets are hard to find, and this percale is great quality, launders well and does not wrinkle too badly if taken out of dryer as soon as dry. Did find them a little itchy until first washing, but they feel great now.

The fabric quality is excellent and I'm enjoying the yellow, but I will say that it seems brighter than what I saw on the website. After sleeping on heavy flannel year-round for years, the silky texture has been an adjustment, but I like it. My only complaint is that the fitted sheet is SOOO deep that I can't keep it smooth no matter how snugly I try to fit the corners. My mattress is only a few years old and of an average depth.

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.
