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

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.

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.
