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

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.

These are expensive, but there appears to be twice as much cotton by weight, as the designer stuff with all sorts of higher thread count that we had been buying. It is fair to say that we got twice as much sheet as we did with web and big box store products, including the size of the flat and fitted sheets. The Bean stuff also feels better and is warmer.

Nice crisp sheet set. Deep fitted sheet fits my very thick mattress nicely. I'm not sure if they are worth the price though.

We needed cool feeling sheets for when it's hot, and these are just right for that.

The side panels on the fitted sheet can be too long on a queen size

I like them very much. But I don't seem to feel that they are as luxurious or as cool as I thought they would going to feel. So I guess I'm a little disappointed after reading (in wirecutter?) that they were so superior. Maybe I'm missing something??

Took 3 washings before felt soft and now wonderful probably the best sheets I've ever owned

The sunshine yellow sheet set was very attractive in the box. It seems well made but only time will tell. Everything about the order process went smoothly and anyone I spoke to was nice. The fitted king sheet does seem to be extra large. We have a substantial "Avacado" brand mattress and the sheet is closer to "baggy" than "snug."

Beautiful blue color sheet set made of high quality percale cotton will probably be great for most customers. Unfortunately, the percale slips on our new Temperpedic mattress, causing the fitted bottom sheet to pop off in the night. A mattress pad would probably solve the problem but we were told not to use a mattress pad with a Temperpedic mattress.

Well made, very smooth sheets. Would be 5 stars if the pockets were not too deep on the fitted sheet. LL Bean (and everyone else) -- some of your customers have mattresses that are less than 10" thick. And when the pockets are too deep, the fitted sheet shifts and wrinkles uncomfortably.

The sheets sleep cool which I wanted but they are more scratchy than I expected.
