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

Good fit, and I found it to have a cooling effect. Very comfortable.

I gave this product four stars because I have no complaints about the quality of the "construction". The hemstitch is a very nice touch; they washed well and do not wrinkle as much as other percale sheets that I have owned. They are however quite "slick" feeling and for a percale sheet they are not crisp at all which is what I was hoping for. I probably should paid more attention to the description which reads "Woven from long-staple Supima cotton, our premium percale sheet sets have a luxurious, extra-smooth touch for year-round comfort." So if you are looking for the traditional crispness of percale these sheets are not for you. I plan to continue my search for old fashioned percale!

I bought these because they are a "Wirecutter" pick and I have had good luck with following their recommendations. These sheets are nice enough and get softer with each wash. I prefer pillow cases with an envelope closure and these are just open, hence 4 stars.

The fabric has a lovely "hand". I only wish percale was no-iron. The fitted bottom sheet was too ample, but I think that is the fault of my tempurpeudic mattress. I haven't found a fitted sheet which fits it yet. The color was very rich, but the trim was a little chintzy. I am a fan with a few nits to pick.

Very nice feel and quality. A bit on the crisp side rather than soft but comfortable.

Nice sheets. I was expected the most glorious sheets of all time because these are the #1 rated cotton sheets on NYTimes Wirecutter and they were kinda pricey so I am slightly disappointed but only slightly. They are nice. They are comfortable.

I expected the sheets to be a bit softer. Nice color and fit. Cool cotton is a plus.

The fabric of these sheets is wonderful, but they're obviously made for a much thicker mattress than mine -- and mine is not a thin mattress. As a result, the fabric bunches up and is not as comfortable as I'd hoped.

Beautiful sheets, however the bottom sheet pulls out on the corners of our bed.

They're all I wanted them to be with one exception. They are big for my bed. I assume that's because they're made to fit very thick mattresses. It's a shame you don't make two sizes...one for modestly thick mattresses and one for super thick.

Sheet were as advertised. Comfortable, cool, and well made like all L.L. Bean merchandise. Great deal.

We have LL Bean flannel sheets, they are super soft and love those so hoped we would like these as well. These sheets are well made and if you like percale sheets you will probably like these. I prefer softer sheets so returned them to get supima sateen sheets from another company since LL Bean does not make those.

After washing and drying the sheet set for the first time, it was disconcerting to see how much lint was in the dryer trap. The new sheets were the only items in the washer and dryer. The dryer lint trap was completely filled to overflowing with lint/fuzz from the sheets. It is now a possible concern that these sheets will not last as long as I would like them to. Otherwise, the sheets fit well and feel nice next to the skin.

Nice quality fabric, but my mattress is not extra deep and the fitted sheet is much too big. I can't sleep on that much bunched-up fabric, so I subbed in an older bottom sheet to use with the flat one and the pillowcases.

Disappointed the flat sheet isn't wider. At this price point and all the rave reviews I would expect these sheets to be wide enough to tuck in adequately on both sides of the bed. These sheets are generous in length and have a lovely soft feel.

The construction and fabric of the sheet set is 5 star. The feel is luxuriant, and sheets wash well. The only negative is that the pillow case does not encase the pillow by having a flap.

I would like the option to purchase all pillow cases separately because I prefer king size pillows on my Queen size bed

These sheets are excellent. I love the feel of the material - soft but not slippery. The pillowcases and fitted sheets are the perfect size. The flat sheet is quite large - I like the length, but it goes beyond my comforter along the sides. Additionally, the color selection is a little dated. Otherwise I would give them 5 stars.

When my sheet-snob mother-in-law said she loved these sheets, and then my sheet-snob friend said the same thing, I decided to give them a try, even though I swore I'd never buy percale again because I find them scratchy. Well, they're definitely scratchier (more loosely woven) than any of our other tightly-woven-but-not-sateen sheets. But they're good sheets, wash well, and I think we may grow to appreciate them. 4-stars because, honestly, I thought I'd hate them and I don't.

Better than most- I like the sizing of this product. These solid color sheets seem a bit different then print ones I own- and love. But after a few washings, the "slippery" feeling goes away. I'd like the cream color to be a bit more ivory in tone, but it'll work. Overall I do really like the sheets from LL Bean. The sizing is better than any others out thereat a more reasonable price . My only issue is I order king pillowcases to match and they could definitely be an inch wider! Very tough to get on the pillow

Great quality and comfortable! Surprised that the width is quite large!.

Comfortable sheets and they wash and dry well. I would prefer standard size pillow slips.

I relied on a review from "Wirecutter." I got exactly what I expected. No surprises, either way.

I was hoping to get some sheets that would not be wrinkled when they came out of the dryer. These are better than most but still have quite a few wrinkles. I am not really into ironing sheets but may have to try it. These sheets do feel fairly cool and pleasant to the touch. I am still searching for those luxurious sheets you find in the best hotels.

Super soft and comfortable! Nice against the skin. Washes beautifully and dries wrinkle free. Only suggestion I have is the pillow cases should be envelope style to stay on better. Fabric is so soft it's slippery like silk.
