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

The only reason I'm giving four stars is because of sizing. These are too big for my mattress. I ended up buying an additional top sheet in the full size. The queen size hung down almost to the floor. Too much sheet! I think a lot of the newer mattresses don't require such large sheets. Other than that, they are perfect. I bought the white ones, and they are VERY comfortable.

Nice fabric, have washed twice now and they seem to be breaking in. Some pilling after first wash. My mattress is 14 1/2" deep fine that way, but I found I need to pin the fabric on the corners to get the bottom to fit snugly against the mattress

Nice sheets - they are smooth and wash well without the edges wrinkling up too much. They are very generously sized compared to the sheets I have used in the past, which is good for sleeping, but means that the flat sheet sticks out around the edges of my bedspread and comforter if I don't tuck it in -- a minor annoyance.

I purchased these when another more pricey set from Macy's wore out in less than a year. A little skeptical but so happy with these sheets! They are smooth and cool. So comfortable. I do recommend taking them out of the dryer right away as they wrinkle easily. Ready for another set!

These sheets are very comfortable on a hot, humid night. They are also large enough to fit a deep mattress and haven't shrunk after several washings. Knock on wood.

I've ordered sheets from LLBean for quite a few years and thought I was getting the same silky smooth sheets as before. These sheets are fine, but they are not nearly as smooth and soft to the touch as the prior sheet set.

Nice sheets.

I decided to treat myself with some nice sheets, so after looking at reviews bought these Pima cotton sheets. I like the crisp feel of the sheets. It's easy to make the bed since they fit so nicely over my queen size mattress. They are a treat! But if they were made in USA they would be a 5 star treat.

The fabric is soft, but the Queen size set would work best on an extra deep mattress. All of my mattresses are 11 or 12 inches, so the fitted sheet is very baggy and the flat sheet falls below the side edges of the king-size coverlet. Ordered these sheets because of good review in Consumer Report. Would recommend only if you have a 14 or 15 inch deep mattress.

The pima cotton sheets are silky smooth but every move makes a rustling sound. The fitted sheet is plenty big enough for my regular depth mattress with good length on the top sheet. I've washed them twice with no shrinkage but they are wrinkled.

These sheets are nicely made and wash up beautifully with no wrinkling to speak of, and I love the sage green color. But I was looking for cool, crisp percale for the summer months, and these are neither. I might keep them for the cooler months when softness and warmth are of more benefit and more appreciated!

Switching from years of flannel sheets, these seem a bit on the cool side -- but that is what I wanted. The fabric is wonderfully smooth, and the sheets seem to be well made. I put them on the bed without washing first, and the bottom fitted sheet does not fit tightly, so it wrinkles with sleeping (our foam mattress is not excessively thick). I hope that washing them this week will tighten it up so it lies smoothly. But the sheets are very pretty (we got a soft tan color) and we are happy with the quality and price.

The sheets fit great and seem to be very well made - as is all LL Bean products. The only reason I did not give a five star rating is because the sheets were a little too thin for my liking.

I like the sheets so far. Just received them, washed and put on bed. Will review again after a few washes. My only complaint so far is that the pillow cases are not wide enough. The length is fine, but a tight fit putting pillows in case. They need to be a bit fuller.

I like the generous sizing of the sheets. It is really nice to have extra top sheet when your spouse tends to roll up like a burrito at night. However, the rough texture of the sheets is disappointing. I've bought percale sheets all my life and this is the first time the sheets do not have a smooth texture. That is the only thing that keeps these sheets from being outstanding.

I have purchased a few sets of these sheets over the years. This set is nice, but not as soft and silky feeling as the last set. The fabric feels a bit scratchy.

Love the bed linens. The only factor that l would not give this product the highest review is because the fitted bottom sheet fits loose. Its a struggle given the depth of the sheet to pull tight which doesn't last obviously after each night's sleep. Minor in the scheme of things, at least for us. Launders great and great feel to the skin. Would recommend.

I love the color (mint green) and the feel of these sheets. But they are already developing a crease on the top edge of the top sheet, as have other sheets like this I've gotten from LLBean. Unless you iron it, the crease increases until there's a tear. It takes a while, but it's not great.

These sheets are nice and long. Big enough to tuck in, and still have lots of room. Disappointed in the texture. My other percale sheets were so smooth I couldn't feel the weave... these are smooth, but I can still feel the weave on my skin. Hopefully they will get softer as they age. Decent sheets, but probably won't purchase again.

Rating is based on how nice the sheets look and feel ... in the package. They are a very nice quality and softness. However, I ordered king size and thereafter found out my friends need split king size, which they don't offer, so have to return them. Disappointed because they look and feel terrific.

The value of these sheets are a little unreasonable, but the sheets are good quality. Very breathable.

had to cut about 4" off width of top sheet; hung out from my comforter also bottom sheet seems very full; hard to get it on smoothly otherwise, ok. would not order another pr. at $149.00

Happy with the feel of these sheets as well as the delicate hemstitch on top sheet and pillowcases. While 280-count is thinner than the heavy cotton I replaced these with, it is well-made and a good value for the price. The only thing I would caution if you are considering vapor gray is that the gray has a lot of brown in it (note display on beige background). These can appear dark depending on bedroom light, sophisticated with gold/silver tones, but a harsh contrast with true white or warm colors.

These sheets were recommended on New York Times Wirecutter. The first set had seam issues...watch out for the fitted sheet seam coming apart. LL Bean replaced the set, so am hoping for better wear. They are soft, yet crisp. Exactly what I was looking for. I rated 4 stars because just not sure about overall quality.

I have been sleeping on these sheets for only a few days. They laundered well and did not have any wrinkles. They seem soft for the thread count. The top sheet has an extremely generous width. Since they are L L Bean I expect they will serve me well for many years to come. I would purchase these sheets again.
