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

I love my sheets and would like to buy another set, but do they EVER go on sale?

Soft and comfortable plus it fits perfectly on my king-size bed. I'll never buy another brand.

I bought these sheets after reading a review on Wirecutter. They are both crisp AND soft and they wash beautifully with no ironing needed. The fitted sheet is generously sized for my regular-depth mattress but it is easily tucked under and stays in place. When I climb into bed I think, "Boy, these sheets feel great." Really! Very glad I tried them.

I gave them as a gift, and he was very pleased. Just as advertised! L.L. Bean has the BEST customer service!!!

I had purchased percale sheets before from another company and they shrunk badly. They were nice and crisp, but too short so that the top sheet would stay tucked in at the bottom and that the fitted sheet would hardly go on. BUT, these are wonderful, not as crisp, but they feel really nice. They do have some sort of finish on them to keep them from wrinkling too badly (like most percale sheets). When I washed them before I put them on the first time, the lint filter had some unpleasant lint on it, not like regular cotton lint. But in subsequent washes, the lint is more normal. Just wash them before using them. They feel so nice for sleeping. I found a source on line that compared percale sheets from all over and these LLBean sheets were rated number one. I also rate them number one.

Ordered this sheet set as a last minute gift for my significant other. I needed something that would fit under the tree and L.L.Bean got it to me in only three days! Yes, I know; not very romantic, but, she loves these sheets! Nothing but Bean sheets for us, by edict from the Boss. She's a happy camper, with her new Bean sheet set and GINORMOUS TV. Lord knows, she lives with me and that ain't easy! As they say, "Happy wife; happy life."

These are great! Crisp percale for a cool, comfortable feel. The sheets are roomy and have washed well with no shrinkage that I noticed.

This was our 4th set of Bean sheets. We absolutely love them. They are smooth, cool and ample. The only fault I have with them is the header hem needs to be ironed as it tends to crease awkwardly across the width of the top sheet.

We have sheets that my wife had purchased and well she loved them but they wore out. I ordered a set of sheets to try from LL Bean, also purchased sheets from elsewhere for more money and we love the LL Bean Percale. They are very soft and thicker than most sheets you will find. So much we ordered a second set of sheets. Great value and very comfortable sheets.

I have desperately looked for percale sheets that were crisp but soft. Hated the sateen ones that I bought elsewhere. Others were hard wrinkled from the dryer. I wish I had looked to LL Bean, my tptally trusted source for lots of other things. These sheets are absolutely what I never found anywhere else. Completely satisfied, infact, I ordered another set!

I love percale! These are great sheets. The pillow slips are cut generously as well as the top and bottom sheets.

Just what I was looking for. Low thread count, super crisp, cool cotton sheets NOT made in China. Love them but yes they wrinkle and I don't care, can't see them in the dark with my eyes closed :-)

I have been looking for years for sheets like this! They are smooth and cool. Feels like heaven to slide between the sheets. Please don't change a thing about them. They are just like the ones I remember from YEARS and YEARS ago. I can't wait to go to bed now!!!!!!

I waited a few months and several washes before sharing my review - for the money, this is an excellent set of sheets. I waited for a special offer which made them even more affordable. They were basically perfect after the 2nd wash. (I will mention that I'm not a perfectionist and do not need to have ironed sheets so I can't comment too much on wrinkles and that subject.) Nice and heavy, but cool - not too hot. I think they will wear really well. This is my 2nd set of Bean sheets, but first of this kind. It's my favorite. Please don't change these sheets!

My husband and I found these sheets to be silky and soft. I washed them right after receiving them and we slept on them that night. They didn't feel like new sheets, which is a good thing. They come out of the dryer, or off the clothes line (I do either when weather permits) soft and not terribly wrinkled. I iron my top sheet and pillow cases anyway but these looked far better out of the dryer or line than my old sheets. The only thing I would ask L.L. Bean is to offer these with a fitted sheet for deep mattresses and one for regular mattresses. I don't have a fat, puffy mattress. Mine is regular and these fitted sheets need to be retucked in every morning when I make the bed. I like a tight, smooth fit for my bottom sheet. Other than that, my husband and I love these.

I've been on a mission to find the "perfect" percale sheet. Knowing the price of pure cotton percale, I researched lots of sheets before buying. LL Bean sheets were highly recommended, and I now understand why. These sheets are exactly as described. They are crisp like percale should be, and I love the coolness of them, especially during the hot, humid summers we have here in the south. This is my new go-to sheet set. I will buy more if/when they go on sale.

Bought these about two years ago and they have become my favorite sheets. They have become softer as I have washed them and I love the coolness of them at night. they are great for warm weather. They have held up very well in the laundry and have kept color.

Bought these for a high-end vacation rental and so far I am really pleased. Feel of percale but not too wrinkled coming out of the dryer. Planning to buy several more sets for next year

This sheet set has a luxurious, silky feel and is a pleasure to sleep between. I read other reviews that complain about wrinkles. My opinion is that they're sheets; so what if they're a little wrinkly? I've only washed them once, and I have no complaints.

I absolutely love these sheets! My whole family uses them except for the winter months (switch to fleece bedsheets). Even bought a set for our pop up camper. I love the feel of them and very durable bedsheets. I needed a twin xl bedsheets and I was very excited that llBean added a new color to their line - vapor gray. The color is awesome because I'm sorta on the contemporary side. Thanks Bean!

I love these sheets! They are cool and crisp, just like I think sheets should be. In the warm summer, there is nothing better than getting into cool sheets at nighttime. They are plenty big enough for our deep mattresses.

Thank you LLB. I have been searching for years for the perfect sheets and these are it. Smooth and comfy after the first wash. Just washed them the second time and no softener required. Also, they are long enough to have plenty to tuck in at the foot of the bed. Well done. Only suggestion would be for another inch or two on the sides as they fall just to the bottom of the mattress and when you have two people in the bed there isn't much to cover you on the sides, especially if one person tends to tug the sheets when they roll over :)

The percale sheets are so cool, crisp, white and beautiful....just like the sheets that my grandparents had on the attic beds that we all wanted to sleep in at their summer house. They liked good quality and sturdy items that lasted, just what I feel these sheets are.

I bought sets of these sheets in two colors in August, 2014 based on the high ratings they received from a leading consumer magazine. After nearly 3 years of continuous use, these sheets have certainly justified the great review. Because of allergies, I wash these sheets in hot water, and they have not shrunk nor have they noticeably faded. There have been no breaks in the stitching or other signs of wear. The elastic has full stretch all the way around, which along with the generous sizing of the corner pockets, makes it very easy to put on the bottom sheet. I like that the top sheets are wider than many others that I've owned. The sheets were a bit stiff at first, but with use and laundering, quickly became soft and comfortable. These sheets do wrinkle, but I just put them back on the bed immediately after the drying cycle has finished to minimize this.

I've been purchasing these sheets for years. The cotton is wonderful. No pilling or stiffness to this set of sheets. I purchased ivory- they are beautiful on the bed and oh so comfortable. I've tried other leading competitors sheets and always come back to these. My kids now purchase them for their households. You won't regret this purchase and you'll get years of wear out of them, they actually get better and better!
