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

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.

Sheets are a bit scratchy at first but softened up with washing. Crisp, not satiny feel. Top sheet has enough hang on both sides to tuck in.

Great sheets for warm sleepers. They are very wrinkled even right out of the dryer.

The color is beautiful and very close to what is pictured on line, The fell is smooth and softer than many percales. I do wish the pillow cases were a bit longer.

Like all percale sheets, they are a little stiff at first. They get softer with each washing. They should last at least twice as long as satine sheets.

High price high quality. Next price point down just as good.

Lovely, but I'm not sure how sturdy they are. Time and weekly washing will tell.

Love these sheets. They fit bed well and wash beautifully. The fitted and flat sheet feel very smooth and comfortable to the touch. My only complaint is that pillowcases feel a little scratchy on my face but hopefully will get better after more washes.

Beautiful, comfortable sheets. However the elastic on the fitted sheet is very weak and doesn't stay secure on the mattress. The fitted sheet has ample depth, just very thin elastic and doesn't have the proper tension

We purchased white king sheets for our bed. The overall quality is good. The "on sale" price at $175 is high in comparison to others we have purchased. They don't particularly fit the bed well, but they're sufficient. We have purchased sheets from other sources like Costco and JCPenney that feel and fit as good or better and at considerably lower in cost.

Wow, these sheets performed just as I expected them to do: they went on the bed just like my other Bean sheet sets and they stayed there! The color is a pretty close match to that of the bedroom walls, which is why I selected them! The only thing that stopped me short of the 5-star rating is that, no matter how much encouragement or downright cajoling I gave 'em, they don't fold themselves.
