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

Until this time I have never spent much money on sheets. After reading reviews from Wirecutter and a friend who bought the featured sheets, I decided to splurge. Are they nice? Yes. Generously oversized and good feel, although I was anticipating a harder/stronger feel similar to another set of percale sheets. My cat likes the sheets (and leaves fur which I hope will come off in the washer). The durability is yet to be known. If they hold up after multiple washings over the years, then perhaps worth the cost. However, one set is enough.

They barely wrinkle after drying, are very generous in size. The feel is a bit scratchy.

Very soft and smooth. Definitely perma press no crumpled edges when I take them out of the dryer. I wish they were a little thicker but overall I'm very pleased.

I love the texture of these sheets, although the top sheet is a bit too large for my twin-size bed. Would probably buy them again.

We are very happy with these high-quality sheets. The have a very strong weave and are more than soft enough for us. Both the size and color are as expected. The initial wash did not result in any noticeable shrinkage. The pillowcases seem to show light stains more frequently than prior sheet sets.

Soft and crisp white sheets that are deep enough for my new mattress. I think they will continue to soften with subsequent washings . Very nice quality ,

The perfect thread-count for year-round comfort: light enough for summer and substantial--and smooth--for winter beneath a down comforter.

I was happy with the size at first because they were so easy to put on the bed, but then I realized I couldn't keep them flat/smooth. Very disappointed because I'm having trouble finding good quality percale sheets. I also thought they were too soft, so ended up returning them.

A little stiffer than I thought - hopefully they will soften with additional washes.

Am generally pleased with this Percale Sheet set with one minor exception: the flat sheet is a bit too wide as it hangs down too far, almost below the top blanket. While this mitigates "fighting for covers" with my spouse, it creates another problem of preventing the top sheet from "peaking out" after the bed is made. Otherwise, I'm happy with this purchase.

I purchased this based on the Consumer Reports rating. The sheets are smooth and soft, but would be better if deeper on the sides. I have an Avocado Green queen mattress with the attached pillow top that totals 13" in height, and these sheets won't wrap under the mattress sufficiently to stay under. By morning my fitted bottom sheet is very wrinkled and bunched up.

good roomy fit, color is fine, fabric could b e softer

These sheets are very good quality. The only reason I did not give it a 5 is because they are not as crisp as the percale I have had in the past . I am not sure why but they are very well made; however if you are looking for the crisp feel of percale they do not have this feel.

The quality of the sheets is excellent and very comfortable, however, and there is a however, the fitted sheet pocket is too deep. We bought these because we thought the pocket, at 15 inches would be ok, however, it's still too deep and leaves all kinds of slack cloth. My wife has resorted to using an older bottom sheet with the LLBean top sheet and pillow cases.

The sheets are smooth and nice. Just not as soft as I thought

I have purchased several of the Pima Percale 280TC sheet sets. They are good quality fabric, wash and dry with minimum wrinkles, and so far have held up well. I do think they are too long but that is better than too short. The price is high but the high quality is worth the price.

These sheets are quite comfortable and remind me of years long past. Pull from the dryer promptly and there are very few wrinkles. I will order more.

The quality of the fabric and sewing is outstanding. Only complaint is that the fitted sheet is way too big for a 12-inch thick mattress.

I bought both the Egyptian percale and the 280 thread count Pima percale. While the Egyptian percale is a little softer, the 280 Pima are very nice sheets that are comfortable and last a long time.

Are the top-rated sheets in Consumer Reports and seem durable and well made. Only complaint is that they are not a soft and comfortable as other sheets I have used.

Could only get these Cal King sheets with king pillowcases which I don't need. Had to order standard separately. Returned the king cases but am sure I won't receive a refund for them.

i think these are pretty good sheets- they are good to lay on and good to look at

Love the fabric but the fit is awkward. The king fitted sheet is so wide it doesn't fit snugly.

Sheet quality is great, but these are almost yellow in color, not the pale cream in the photos.

These sheets are great! Fit is snug, not too soft or smooth, breathable for hot sleepers, color is perfectly matched with extra pillow cases. I'm really glad we got them. The price is steep for that quality, wish I could get more.
