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

These sheets were nicely made, unfortunately our mattress is only 12" deep and the bottom sheet is designed for one that is more like 15" deep. Because of this we returned the sheets otherwise we would of kept them. That is why I only rated as 4 stars.

I love the color of the sheets but wish that they were softer. They wash really well.

Sheets were softer and more comfortable than comparable percale sheets I've purchased.

Initially out of the box they were crisp, unfortunately after one washing some of the crispness was gone. They are comfortable but are more limp after each subsequent washing. Very well made, nice deep pockets. Color true to pictures. I prefer crisp sheets so a little disappointed.

Lovely and well-made. I chose the pink and it was just a very pale blush. Perfect. The Entredeux insertion gives in a classy look. My only disappointment was that they have to be ironed. They're too pretty to have wrinkled. Make this sheet wrinkle free And it will be the most perfect sheet in the world!

The sheets seem pretty nice. I've had them about a month. Check back with me in a couple more years to see how they hold up long term.

I was looking for a good set of sheets that would fit firmly on my mattress. These sheets are beyond soft and fit perfectly around my mattress. I would recommend buying them.

Very nice sheets, but actually even though we have an oversize mattress, they are a bit too large.

The sheets look and feel very nice, as advertised. For the price, however, I think a second set of pillow cases should be included. Many people that I know (including myself) who sleep on king size beds use two pillows for each sleeper. This is the reason that I rated the sheets as four star out of five.

Have used LL Bean sheets for long time. The cream color is pleasing. These are still very good and while they are soft, they are not as crisp as past versions. I just bought a new standard, two-sided queen mattress. These sheets seem to be proportioned for a thicker, one-sided mattress. Thus, on a my mattress, the bottom sheet particularly, doesn't fit as snug as would be ideal.

I love these sheets, but I put them on my bed before washing them as I was so excited to try them (don't tell my mom I didn't wash them first!). ;) They were lovely. Then, I washed them and the fitted sheet shrunk about 1" around. As I have a 14" deep mattress, the fitted sheet *just barely* covered the mattress. I had to pull it so tight to get around the mattress. So, if you have a 14" mattress, I'm not sure I'd recommend them as I wouldn't buy them again for that reason alone. But, they are lovely sheets - so soft and comfortable and cool -- very high quality. The flat sheet is perfectly long and quite wide, even after washing, so it almost seems like a mis-match.

These sheets are the quality one expects from L.L.Bean

This is my second set of these sheets. I first bought them in white and recently ordered them in the cream color. The sheets are great, I love them and recommend them. The color swatch online looked like an off white, exactly what I was looking for. The color should be called "butter". They are light yellow, the color was just not what I was expecting. I did keep them and will use them in another room but not in the master bedroom that I purchased them for.

Like pink color and pima cotton is good, but please double the thread count! I would be willing to pay more.

the sheets are great. The loss of a star has to do with the price. Luckily, we were able to use Bean Bucks to pay for it.

I have two sets of these sheets now. The fabric is lovely and since it's nearly wrinkle-free, it looks great when you take it out of the dryer and fold it up, and again when you make up the bed with it. I swap the sets every time we strip the bed. My only complaint is that it's not colorfast; over time (I've had them for a while), they develop bleached areas where my hands or face have touched them. I assume this is due to the lotion or sanitizer on my hands and the lotion on my face. I wouldn't NOT buy them because of this, so this review is just a heads up not to be surprised when it happens to your sheets. When these wear out, I'll buy them again.

I really like the sheets, however I ordered them because I needed full /double and these were double/ queen. I feel they are a little wide for my needs but I just need to tuck more under.

...because nearly everything needs a little improvement. Glorious sheets.

Have only been using these sheets for a few weeks but very satisfied with the feel and fit. It's nice to have a fitted sheet that stays where it is supposed to! I would have rated it 5 stars if I could have found the color that was my first choice.

I have two sets of the percale, white queen-sized sheets. I like sleeping under the feel of percale. The flat sheet top edge does not lie flat. It has creases, not so much wrinkles as creases. I have tried pressing the top edge with a damp pressing cloth. I sent it out to get cleaned and pressed. It does not lie flat beyond one use. Now I am steaming it every day. Does anyone have any ideas for a permanent solution? It is my New Year's resolution to have the sheet lie flat at the edges. The other three edges also have creases, but I am mostly bothered by the top edge. Thank you.

The sheets are amazing. Comfortable, cool, perfect. But the pillowcases do not have an 'envelope' closure. Not a deal breaker, but also not ideal as the pillowcases slip off of my pillows. It's frustrating enough that I probably won't purchase a second set.

I like the sheets, however I must say that in this day and age, I was appalled at how long the delivery process was from beginning to end.

I'm hoping these will soften over repeated washings, but they look very nice. They just seem to be a little rougher than I remember them being. The color is really nice and the set looks good.

Sheet set does not have the level of softness desired. However, they wash nicely.

I was sooo happy to find percale sheets, surely an endangered fabric! These are a generous size and well made, though the fabric is a bit on the thin side. I'm hoping they wear well and will be comfy for our guest bed.
