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

Sheets were very well made, they were larger than the sets we bought 2 years ago. Those sheets were at least 20 percent less all around. I would highly recommen the L.L. Bean 280 thread count sheets.

Overall, we really like these sheets. They feel smooth and crisp and wash and dry with only a few wrinkles.

This is the 3rd time (or more) that I've ordered these sheets. They're great. Just two comments...one is that they eventually wear out and shred, due as near as I can tell to toenails scraping on them...the shredding always shows up in that location...and two, that the new sheets, with 15" pockets, are still barely large enough to tuck in the sides on our new 11" mattress. But this isn't enough problem to cause me not to reorder as necessary. Also, just a comment...the width of the top sheet is a bit more than necessary...could be a few inches narrower...just a few, like 3-4" on each side. But I'll keep reordering, no matter what, and especially this color, because it goes best in the bedroom.

I bought these at the recommendation of wirecutter who had examined many brands. So far they seem ok. They are not as soft as I had hoped but perhaps will become so over time. They are very smooth, almost seeming like a cotton-poly blend, but they are supposedly 100% cotton percale.

The sheets/pillowcases are a lovely , smooth texture and the fitted sheet is large enough that I don't have to arm wrestle the mattress to make the bed.

I love the sheets! Very well made and cool to the touch. I just wish LL Bean would include longer pillow cases. The standard cases included barely cover a queen size pillow.

These sheets are smooth, a good weight and generously sized. They washed well. They are not particularly cool for summer and I prefer other, lighter sheets when sleeping in hot weather. But these are good all season sheets.

I like the color and the sheets are nice. But I don't like them more than the ones I bought at a mass-market retailer for one-third the price, so I'll probably stick with the less expensive ones since I like them just as much.

Fit and feel is good but requires ironing to look good.

I love the sheets. However I have a standard size queen size mattress not the high mattress (I am a short woman) that are made today. Hence the sheets are a somewhat to large. I do love the feel of them.

I purchased double bed sheet set.The percale feels wonderful. I like the elastic all around the fitted bottom sheet, too. However the fitted bottom is too big - about 3 inches wider than my mattress. I would like a good fitting fitted sheet.

Love the silliness of the fabric and the careful craftsmanship. The only thing I would add is that the fitted sheets are too long for a normal mattress, even one with a topper, so that creates wrinkles. They are still the best sheets I have found and well priced too.

These sheets seem a bit "heavy," and slick to the touch.

The sheets are soft but one came with an odd bleach stain so some of the color was missing.

The quality of the cotton in this pima-percale queen set is unmatched by any other sheets I have purchased. They feel cool and soothing and remain crisp even after multiple washings. I rated them a 4-star because there isn't enough elastic on the sides of the fitted sheet to keep it in place after a night's sleep - a bit disappointing.

Great color, fits too loose and they are a little warm for summer.

He to but bright blue sheets to ge percale in time for heat to kick in and they have been much better for sleeping than satin-style ones. glad I made the change in time for 90 degree weather.

Top quality. Just wish the fitted bottom sheet better fit my thick mattress.

Medium blue is a richly saturated color. These sheets land between percale-stiff and softer after just 2washings. The twin set is quite big for my bed. Great with Maine striped blue/cream blankets.

As wirecutter devotees we are now on our second set of these sheets. They are very comfortable, but each time there have appeared, odd stains, particularly on the pillowcases. it looks almost like a grease stain across a good third of the pillowcase. It doesn't seem to impact the comfort level, but I always feel like it isn't quite clean. Sorry my effort to add a photo were unsuccessful.

Pretty good. Elastic not that great on fitted sheet.

We have a pretty deep mattress. The sheets fit well all around. We have only washed them three times and each time they seem to get softer. My only hesitation to a 5 star rating is that they are a little scratchier than I would prefer. The fit and so far the finish are top notch.

Can move easily on/beneath the sheets. Glad they were not satiny because I dislike sticky/clingy sheets. Was hoping they would be "crisp" though. I would recommend buying them.

Very happy with these sheets. Very comfortable, soft, smooth. Wash up beautifully. My only issue is that after only being on the bed for a week, I noticed two small tears. I was curious as to how it occurred (ex: I don't wear jewelry to bed). I was able to use an iron on patch to secure them. I did not return them simply because I have no idea how it actually happened and didn't want to blame the manufacturer for some that may well have been my fault. I will keep an eye on them and if further tears occur I will notify customer service.

I love the softness and texture of the sheets. I do wish they were a bit heavier and hope they hold up over time, especially for the rather high price.
