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

This fit perfect on my full size bed. I have washed them several times no fading but they do not feel soft at all. They feel scratchy for some reason. This is my 4th pair I haven bought so I am not sure if they changed manufacturers or the quality is just not there. Disappointed these sheets are expensive and they do hold up well but this pair is not my favorite.

There is a certain crispness and coolness to the finer hotel sheets. I wish I knew how they were weaved! These sheets come up short for me. I'm sure they are fine for anyone else.

Quality is fine. Color is very bright--brighter than web image.

I've ordered these full size sheet sets a few times over the years. I believe the cotton material has become thinner and the fitted sheet has become looser. I'm not sure I'll purchase these again.

Not staying on bed. Could be my matress pad that is impeding things but still frustrating. Seems well put together

After several washings, the sheets are quite soft but have started to cling/stick to each other. They also appear to have gotten thinner as though initially there was some type of finish that disappeared in the wash. The NYT Wire cutter rating/review led to this purchase. Will have to wait and see if this set lasts 4 years with weekly washing as did our previous $250 set.

The sheet set (full) allows for a very thick mattress. Mine is not, so the bottom sheet is very loose and not taut. They do seem comfortable. Jury's still out on their longevity. I have longer pillows so the cases aren't of use to me. Would have been nice if I could have swapped the pillow cases for longer ones. Kinda expensive.

The sheets are ok. Not very thick and they get baggy on the bed.

I received these in May and was thrilled with the color, they are not the softest but is a good quality strong fabric. So I order another fitted sheet in December so I could swap it out more. I only wash these about once every three weeks for better or worse and with mild detergent and as you can see in that short time and few washes they went from a unique beautiful color to a faded just okay color.

These sheets are nice, although not that soft. My wife and I are hoping that they get softer over time. We have a 11.5" thick mattress and the fitted sheet fits well. The flat sheet is huge and hangs quite a bit on both sides.

I bought 3 sets but returned 2 because the sheets were a bit scratchy even after several washes.

Washed 2x, still not sure if I love them. Not as smooth as sheets I have bought from bean.

I love these sheets! Beautiful and feel great, but I wish the cases had an envelope closure to make them perfect.

Thin, no special feel, extra width makes it a chore to tuck in both sides.

Comfortable fabric. The fitted sheet seems a bit too large; It doesn't hug the mattress like other fitted sheets.

The sheets are very soft and comfortable but the fitted one is too big. The flat one is too wide and sticks out from under my quilt on each side. I was very disappointed.

These are not a crisp percale sheet, even with ironing. They seem sturdy and should last. The color seems uneven throughout the material; I should have selected a pattern instead of a solid so I wouldn't notice that.

These are passable cotton sheets. Not noticably better, perhaps slightly worse, than much cheaper sheets from big box stores/online.

Bought these sheets 3 years ago and today, discovered some holes in the flat sheet, used as the bottom sheet. I guess I'll be pulling out my darning needle. I have bought many LL Bean products over the years and love the way things last. Not so much with these sheets.

The fitter full size sheet is huge. Its not snug or smooth.

I like the bottom sheet to stay taunt without wrinkles while sleeping. The elastic is too weak to do this. Otherwise, the sheet material is comfortable.

These are only ok. I purchased this along with the Egyptian Percale to compare. There isn't a close comparison, for the price difference buy the Egyptian Percale instead. These are not as thick and just don't feel as great. They are better than online companies like Brooklinen.

These sheets are wonderfully soft. My complaint is about the size of the California King flat sheet which is the same size as a regular King so far too wide for my bed.

I returned them. The color looked quite different in person than online. The quality appeared to be top notch!

The bottom "fitted" sheet is so oversized that it becomes baggy on the mattress after a couple of nights. Fabric is fine, but fit of sheet is too loose.
