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

The stores I previously purchased my bedding from have gone out of business. After countless years of use it's time for a replacement set of sheets. I like good quality that will last and keep one set of sheets, they go in/out of the wash and back on the bed (no folding necessary!) After agonizing over what to get and looking at reviews I went with LLB's 280 Thread Count Pima Cotton Percale set in white - GREAT choice. Love the hemstitching detail! It's the first time trying LLB for bedding. They got washed, came out of the dryer nice and right onto the bed. What I love most is the generous size ... there is plenty of length to properly tuck under the mattress, a generous fold over the top of the blankets and a generous amount on the sides too. They have a nice soft feel and fit our 15" deep mattress! There's a little wiggle room for the fitted sheet and would likely accommodate a slightly thicker mattress or extra mattress pad (perhaps 16"). I usually order online but went to my local LLB retail store to happily find they had samples of their sheets to feel before purchasing. As a result, planning to get the ultra soft flannel set for the winter months. So happy!

They are well made with sturdy seams and high quality fabric. Smooth and cool percale.

Great sheets on first pass - we are pleased with fit and feel. So far so good after first wash.

The blue color was more intense than we expected from the pictures on-line, but the sheets feels great.

I bought this sheet set after doing quite a bit of research. I wanted sheets that would not pill and that had that "cool" feeling I remembered from my childhood. These are everything I wanted and more! They are so comfortable, fit very well and launder beautifully. I will definitely purchase a second set for my daughter's bedroom. I will never buy any other sheets again.

Crisp and a bit crinkly. They soften over time with washing. Great if you are a warm sleeper!

Love these crisp sheets. Bought them after reading a NYT Wirecutter review and they did not disappoint. I'm currently in the process of switching theses sheets in for my old at 2 different houses!

I love these sheets - they are cooling and soft. I knew the minute I took them out of package they were going to be fabulous. I plan to wait for a sale and order a couple of more sets. You won't be disappointed with these. Hey, wire cutter rates them as the best.

These sheets are the best! Very cool and comfortable.

I purchased a king-size sheet set for the first time and am happy I did. They are cool and crisp, but in a soft kind-of-way. The manufacturer sewed "long side" and "short side" cloth tags on the fitted sheet, which is helpful.

Comfortable sheets. Washes well. Fits well. This is our second set & we love them!

Everything was quite good. Sheets were a bit more crisp than I expected, but that is exactly as advertised - crisp, so issue was my expectations. I'm sure after a few washing they will be perfect.

As soft and cool as promised in other reviews. Love the calming color and the bottom sheet's serious elastic, along with the labels for short or long sides.

Lovely color - Lake Wonderful fit and feel. Beautiful sheets. NYT's Wirecutter is right on the money

Perfect fit for thick mattresses, and the feel is very nice, too. I have paid much more in the past for sheets of this quality.

Very nice sheets. The sheets are very comfortable, cool and lightweight. I'm very hot natured and cool sheets are a must for me. They hold up well after washing also

Love these sheets,very SMOOTH and crisp! Perfect for hot sleepers.

As a hot sleeper, i was looking for something that would help me sleep cooler, and these sheets are it! The feel is definitely different than any percale sheet I've had before, and they are noisy with movement, but I am happy I found them, and would purchase again!

Love these sheets. This is the 2nd set I've purchased.

Great sheets. You can buy cheaper but you get cheaper.

I have been very pleased with these sheets so far. They drape over your body instead of hugging it, leading to a cooler sleeping experience. At the same time, they have a nice weight and seem like good quality. They remind me of hotel sheets. I would purchase again.

I can see why these sheets are the NY Times Wirecutter favorites. I've bought these twice and they hold up extremely well and they are extremely comfortable. I'll never buy any other brand of sheets. Definitely worth the cost.

Great weight, texture and fit Excellent sheet set

Best sheets by fardurable, washable,dryable, and cooling!

They feel cool but also sturdy, and they look beautiful.
