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

Great quality but TOO big for my queen bed could easily loose an inch on each corner .

I'm afraid too crispy . My sleeping companion has final say and she says nope !

The sheets were not as cooling as they were advertised. Moreover they were way too large for my bed which is a Tempur-pedic. Even after washing them, the fitted sheet was still too big.

I read about these sheets on wire cutter. Supposed to be light for hot weather. They are not, compared to my other sheets. Also very stiff even after washing. They are just kind of "meh". Surprised they were rated #1 by wire cutter.

Returned due to the fitted and flat sheets being too large. Measurements don't match regular king bed measurements. Color was pretty.

Love the sheets but had to return due to a manufacturing defect

These sheets are nice, but they are stiff and hard. I am surprised at how uncomfortable they are. I hope they soften with more washes.

The corners are too deep and the bottom sheet is therefore too loose. I am returning the set.

Sheets are not as soft as I expected. Stiff and kind of scratchy

SHEET QUALITY IS FINE, BUT DISSAPPOINTED WITH THE DEPTH OF POCKET ON FITTED SHEET. WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF THE SHEET FIT AROUND AND UNDER THE EDGE OF THE MATTRESS. THIS MAKES THE SHEET SEEM A LITTLE "CHEAP"

Pretty disappointing. Scratchy and the fitted sheet is baggy. Expected better from such highly recommended sheets.

I bought these sheets based upon NYT's WireCutter ratings but was disappointed with how scratchy they feel, something their reviewers failed to mention. The sheets are well-made, and generously sized but I haven't slept well on them. If you don't think they're "scratchy" then you've never slept on smooth soft sheets before.

Bought these because of all the stellar reviews I read about them. They're fine... but just regular cotton sheets, plus they wrinkle. So, they are comfortable enough but I wouldn't go out of my way for them.

Actually purchased two sets of these sheets to replace two sets of LLB percale sheets which had worn out- the fabric was deteriorating at the hems and pillowcase and top sheet trims. These sheets have a more polished finish-so not as crisp but ok- but are much larger than any other king sheets I have purchased. The bottom sheet is not as tight as I like and the top sheet hangs down below my quilt.

The fitted sheet in this set is oversized for my mattress. Be sure and check the specs when purchasing. I have a 12" mattress and it does not stay put. Also, I feel the material is not as sturdy and crisp as the more expensive set I had purchased a few years back. Not fully satisfied.

The sheets seem to be a little big, and I have a relatively new mattress from Saatva queen sized

So many reviews saying this! LL Bean please fix the sizing of the king fitted sheet so we can enjoy the crispness without all the bunching up!

I bought this set in February 2024. We just noticed 3 unexpected tears in the bottom sheet, located around where the hip and upper thigh would rest. We are genuinely puzzled as nothing we wear to bed would have caused this and there is nothing that would explain the tears. We take good care of our bedding and none of our other sheets have ever done this. We are very disappointed and wanted to bring this to your attention.

The only issue we have with these sheets are the fact that the fitted sheet doesn't fit tightly as we would like

I am extremely disappointed with the king Pima Percale sheets we purchased from L.L.Bean. They are too big for our king mattress and they are not soft.

Not impressed with these sheets. Bought the queen set in the Lake color, which is much darker in person than they seem on-line. Three things really stood out from the get go: they wrinkle terribly after washing and drying, with little to no shrinking, and seeing how the bottom sheet is way too big for my 13" mattress depth it comes untucked easily; as reviewer Joan W (see below) pointed out, the bottom sheet elastic is quite flimsy with the "side" indicator (top, bottom, side) tag being so small I could hardly find it; and finally, these sheets aren't at all that soft, but feel course to the touch, with minimal "crispness." Have washed them and used them, so unable to return them. Lesson learned that the percale 280-thread-count sheets aren't that great.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I LIKE THESE SHEETS. I purchased these as a gift, and did so some weeks ago because your company offered a special discount to new customers. Pushing me to write this review now is stupid. Your review process needs to understand how people actually buy and use your products. You really need to have some marketing "experts" review your review processes, because I am supremely unimpressed.

The sheets are well made with good quality and a material is nice to touch. The width of the bottom fitted sheet could be larger to ensure the sheet stays tucked under the mattress.

These sheets were highly recommended and so I decided to spend more than I normally would to buy them. My only objection is that the fitted sheet does not fit tightly. Whether it's a case of not enough elastic on the sides or not strong enough elastic, the net result is that the fitted sheet immediately becomes loose and wrinkly. I've tried to tuck it in more forcefully when I make the bed but it immediately becomes loose. It is very disappointing.

Bought these due to high ratings; the sheets are just "fine" as I cannot complain about them overall. However, I was really looking for a "wow" experience, as a treat from the luxury quality. That did not happen. I regret paying quite a higher price for these sheets as I could have purchased similar ones for much less, elsewhere.
