I am so disappointed and will return these sheets. they are paper thin, the fitted sheets moves and doesn't fit well and they are not soft. WOW, I cannot believe the horrible quality for this price and from LLBean
I love these sheets. They are soft and silky. I always thought I had to have a higher thread count but not with these sheets. I took them out of the packaged, washed and dried them, put them on the bed and they are wonderful. Nothing scratchy about them. Now that it is getting to be summer, it is great to have a sheet that is cool to the touch. The material is a good weight and will probably last for years. These sheets and the matching pillow cases are worth every penny I spent on them.
Ok. 280 thread count is far below anything I'd been led to believe was an acceptable sheeting material. Thanks to LL Bean, I've been given a serving in humble pie! Somewhere online I'd read that these were some of the best percale sheets available and they truly are. They need a few washings to get rid of that 'fresh out of the package' feel but then... BOY, OH BOY! They become EXACTLY what you dream percale sheets will be. They don't shrink either! They may be the perfect percale. A note on sizing: the fitted sheet fits a very deep mattress (mine is 16") but you may want to consider a size up for your top sheet or else it may not have enough material to tuck under on the sides.
These percale sheets were rough and scratchy when we first got them. I've washed them five times and they have gotten smoother with each wash. They have a cool, crisp, smooth feel to them. They will be perfect in the summertime when it is hot and humid. They are a little thinner and not the quality I was expecting for the price, but otherwise they are great sheets.
