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

These sheets are sized generously and seem to be well made. However, they also seem very thin and the pillow cases somewhat narrow. Being 100% cotton they do wrinkle badly. For the price I am not entirely happy but will hope for the usual quality from L L Bean.

Love these sheets for summers in Maine cool and soft and fits my deep mattress perfectly! I only wish there were darker color choices to pick from

In ordering, i neglected to notice that the width is 96 in. Just too wide, would hang below the coverlet. Otherwise, great sheets.

These sheets are very sturdy. They fit a large mattress well. Would recommend them.

The only reason I'm giving this four stars instead of five is because I assume somewhere out in the universe is the perfect set of sheets. And they're probably unaffordably expensive. Here in the real world, these are terrific, comfortable, long-lasting sheets. We just bought our second set.

My wife told me "4," so that's what I've chosen; but, as the one who does the laundry and makes the beds in this home, I'd give them a "5" so far for care and maintenance and how well they come out of the dryer.

Two years after buying out first set of sheets, this is our second purchase of the same. The sheets have an ultra-smooth, cool, silky feelif that describes what contributes to your sleep comfort, these are your sheets. I would add a 5th star if with time the durability matches our first set of sheets.

I researched percale sheets, at ridiculous length, in an effort to find the crisp cotton I grew up with. I went with Wirecutter's recommendation of these sheets as "best percale." Immediately upon opening the package, I could see and feel that these were not like percale sheets I had known and loved and kept for years. The weave looks different and the feel is almost slippery, leading me to at first wonder if they were not 100% cotton. I don't know what's happened with percale, but these do not match percale "of old." As sheets, they are perfectly fine. I had ordered them for a cabin stay 3,000 miles away, so sent them to that destination and had to use them. If I hadn't had the expectation that they would be the "best" percale, they would have been fine. Returning.

Good texture and feel to sheet set. A bit large for 7 inch inner-spring mattress on a full size bed.

Cannot do a review because I haven't slept on the sheets. I did put them on the bed and they fit very well

Really large size for average queen bed. Flat sheet very oversized.

These are definitely my favorite sheets. After trying more than 5 different brands I love the weight and overall feel of these. The reviews don't lie.

Excellent weight but a little scratchy one first use. Great color.

The sheets are fine but I can not fairly review sheets until I've used them for a year of washing. After one month . . . good!

I was worried about the softness of these sheets but I find them just as comfortable as some of the high dollar sateen sheets Ive purchased. My only concern is one of the corners of the fitted sheet seems to have a stitching defect so im worried it will come apart at some point.

Clearly the quality and fit are good. Not as soft as I had expected.

I purchased a King ( East Coast King ) but I'm wondering if there was a mistake. The contour sheet is way too big. How much bigger can a king sheet get, unless I was sent a California King. Doesn't state it in my order, nor on the tag on the sheet. Just reads King. Other than that, these are beautifully made and are good quality. Both my husband and I love the feel of them. Maybe it was a fluke thing that I received a much larger contour. I didn't return them since we were moving and I needed them right away. Oh well.

These were replacement sheets for my Ralph Lauren ones. Sweetie did not like the feel of the other ones. This soft cotton non iron sheets work great and he is very pleased! Would of given it a higher rating but thought they were expensive for my budget. Yet, you get what you pay for!

A little too tight but otherwise excellent. Have to pull really hard to get them on.

Love the cool, crips feel. These are definitely generously cut. We have an adjustable king. The corners are large enough to not curl off the mattress, when the head is raised! i paid much more for organic pima sheets, but prefer these at 60 dollars less. Only suggestion, is to make them thicker.

Definitely gets softer after washing. You will want to wash the sheets before using the first time as they are a little scratchy but after washing they were fine and get better after each wash.

I love percale sheets and these are very generous in size which I appreciate. Wonderful sheets; however, I always use white sheets and these have a slight 'pinky' cast to the material. Odd. Other than that, I would highly recommend them.

These sheets feel wonderful to the touch: silky, smooth, cool. They are generously cut so that they fit even extra-thick mattresses like mine with plenty of top sheet to tuck under. If there's a downside it's that while the fitted sheet is easy to make up on the bed, it's easy to pull out as well so that a vigorous tosser-and-turner finds a messy bed in the morning. But I like that tradeoff.

My husband and I are happy with the sheets. I did anticipate that they would be just a"tad" bit heavier

These are not soft, floppy sheets. They have a bit of heft to them. There is no tugging of the fitted sheet when used on a 10 inch queen mattress. On a platform style bed the top sheet will be longer than ideal. The pillowcases that come with the queen set are a bit roomy also. I've laundered these sheets several times in hot water and they don't shrink. I guess they offer a more generous fit than I prefer but overall I am satisfied and expect that the sheets are quite durable. One negative feature is that they have an ever-so-slight coarseness to the touch but not noticeable overall.
