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

The sheet set is good quality. I do have a few issues with them however. I ordered the queen set, the bottom sheet fits great, but the top sheet appears to be a king, it hits the floor on both sides of the bed. Also, I'm not sure who started the trend of only putting two pillow cases in sheet sets. In the past, all sets that I've purchased have had four cases. I had to purchase two more cases which cost an additional $40.00!! Give me a break

Very comfortable, great skin feel. They truly seem like the equivalent of a much higher thread count sheet at a literal fraction of the price of those sort of sets. Also, love the baby blue color!

I love the feel of these sheets; they are very well made and the color I soft and pleasing. My only complaint is that the fitted sheet is quite large so it does not fit smoothly on the mattress (a deep king size). Not enough to deter me from buying another set, just a preference.

Good product quality as always from LL Bean. However, description of bottom fitted sheet is inaccurate. It states that " it fits mattresses up to 14 inches". The pocket in the bottom sheet IS 14 inches. My mattress is 9 inches with a 2 inch pad on top making 11 inches. The fitted sheet is therefore too big and does not stretch nicely to cover the mattress. It rucks up and requires tucking in every morning. It would be nice if LL Bean made a 12 inch fitted sheet. Otherwise these sheets are REALLY comfortable to sleep in.

Excellent quality all around. I just wish I could find a fitted sheet that stays tight. This set is generously sized and the fitted sheet fits my mattress loosely. Washed in hot water to shrink it a bit. But this is my problem, not L.L.Beans. Excellent product.

I ordered these sheets primarily because online stated the length I needed for Cal king bed. However the actual length ( and that stated on the package) was 5 inches shorter. The sheets are high quality, nice feel & good color. Customer service was apologetic & polite & said I could return them. However, I decided to keep them but would not order or pay such a high price again for sheets not the length I need

Sheets wash well but wrinkle.. very soft comfortable. Main complaint is pillow cases are too narrow. Barely fit queen pillows & only get 2 pillow cases

I bought it as a birthday gift. I haven't given it yet.

The sheets are very nice, we enjoy them. Comfortable. But we only bought them because we got a gift card--I wouldn't normally every pay $150 for a set of sheets, as you can get comfortable ones for less.

These sheets are very soft and cozy. However the color, which was called Cream, is far more yellow than I expected. I would have called it Soft Butter. I'm hoping the color will fade a bit over multiple washings.

Really happy with these sheets! They feel crisp and cool which is exactly what I wanted. The vapor grey color is quite nice as well, a calm shade of grey.

These sheets are very good quality. Consistent color, good fit, and cool to the touch.

We love these sheets. They are feel great, are generously sized, wash well, and have held up well after 2 1/2 years of regular use. But, the edges of the pillowcases have frayed badly. I wish LL Bean would sell pillowcases separately so I could replace them, or sell sheet sets that include 4 pillowcases so they would last longer. Oddly enough the edges of the sheets haven't frayed, just the pillowcases.

I would have preferred you say made in China rather than imported. I assumed Turkey.

I have always orderd LL Bean sheets. I ordered these in a full size but I must say that the fitted bottom sheets is TOOOO big. It does not lie flat and because of this it wrinkles. I prefer the pocket sheets for a better fit. This particular fitted sheet is just swimming on the mattress. I am going to return it.

They have been very nice light sheets.

I have a few other LL Bean bedding products that are of excellent quality. These percale sheets get rave reviews from Wirecutter and I would agree - mostly. The fitted sheet is really too big for my bed. I do have a mattress topper, but the sheet will not stay taut, so morning bedmaking is a much longer endeavor.

These are a very good quality sheet with a nice finish but they are gigantic. The bottom sheet is way to big for my 12 inch thick mattress and the top sheet is more like a bedspread. I'm keeping them, but won't reorder sheets until parameters have changed. I have a platform bed and these sheets are made for thicker and more elevated bed. The last sheets I ordered from Bean were better sized for my bed.

I bought the king set about a month ago. The set has been washed at least 3 times so far, The sheets come out of the dryer relatively unwrinkled. The size fits my regular king with a 12" mattress well, not too snug or loose. I've not noticed any shrinking but I've washed them in warm water as instructed. I would prefer a hot water setting. My one concern is that I bought this set because 7 years ago I bought a 280-thread count set that have proven to wear well. I thought the old and the new would be identical. The sheets are not. The new set is considerably thinner than my old set which has had 7 years of wear and washings. While the new sheets look good, fit the mattress, and wash well, I'm not sure that they will sustain 7 years of wear as their predecessor has.With that caveat, I still would recommend the sheets--at least so far.

These are nice sheets but perhaps my expectations were too high from all of the praise they are given. I think I prefer the feel slightly to my similarly priced Brooklinnen sheets however the Brooklinnen are more visually appealing in terms of their fit on the mattress. I have a Saatva mattress and these LLB sheets seem to fit on the mattress like the mattress recently lost 50 pounds. Not sure why they are so generously cut but I much prefer the taught look of my other sheets.

This sheet set is recommended by Consumer Reports. Therefore, I am confident it will perform satisfactory. To my surprise, the flat sheet is wider than both the Croscill comforter that I am retiring and my new Waterford comforter. This results in the sheet extending beyond the comforter and over the bed skirt. To prevent the flat sheet from being visible it is necessary to tuck the flat sheet in between the mattress and box springs when "making the bed". This reminds me daily that I was remiss in comparing comforter versus flat sheet width before purchasing sheet set.

I don't usually buy sheets online because I like to FEEL them first. I went with these because the product description said they would LAST. Other reviewers said they were soft. I believe that because so much of our day is spent in one place - sleeping in a bed.. that it is worth the extra money to buy great sheets. These are not as soft as the sheets I needed to replace... but they do seem to be of excellent quality. I am now counting on the notion that they will become softer with washings.. but will stand the test of time.

This is the first time I have purchased Percale sheets and I do like the feel and drape of them. They are cooler to the skin (a great plus for Florida weather). They do wrinkle when washed and I end up ironing the pillowcases for a crisper look. Once the rest of the sheets go on the bed, the wrinkles are less noticeable. My biggest complaint is the size of the fitted and top sheets. They are so large that the fitted sheet is "sloppy" on the mattress and the top sheet hangs below the bedspread. I have a standard mattress with a 3" high foam top, but that isn't high enough for the fitted sheet to fit snugly. Can you offer two sizes so those of us without enormous mattresses can still enjoy a good fit with your sheets?

These are very nice sheets and pillowcases, well made with a good cotton feel. But the top sheet is incredibly wide. I think it hung over each side of our queen-size bed by 2.5 feet. And our mattress is 10 inches high. It's odd, because the fitted sheet fits well. And both sheets are a good length. So why the top sheet is made so wide is a mystery to us. My wife altered it with some fancy needlework, and now it's fine.

I love the coolness of percale sheets and these are great. Very smooth. My only negative is that they're huge on my 9" deep foam mattress. With the fitted sheets it's not a big problem, but the top sheet practically touches the floor on both sides of the bed. I've bought these sheets before and they weren't as wide.
