Rated 5 out of 5 by MidwestNormal Terrific sheets
The Windowpane sheets have exceeded my expectations. The deep-pocket fitted sheets easily fit onto the mattress. The pillow cases are large enough to slip over pillows. Have washed these sheets 4 times and haven't found anything to complain about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jfdel THE BEST sheets ever
I researched online sheets prior to buying. Lots of cheaper sheets were described as too thin, pilling with wear or wash, uncomfortable.
LL Bean's 280 thread count percale sheets were top rated by consumer reports for the best percale sheets, and that is why I purchased these. They are crisp percale yet buttery soft, just the right thickness, the king size is generous on my king size bed. I am thrilled with this purchase!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Frenchy The yellow ones are nice and soft!
I have sensitive skin and find the yellow pima pillow cases as well as the mating pima sheets very soft and comfortable. To those who have not had the same experience, it could be the color. I have found variations in other products to the extent that one color was very soft yet another color in the same product was itchy.
We have never paid this much for pillowcases and sheets, but my husband and I agree that these pillow cases (and the matching sheets) are the best we have ever had. We will be buying more.

These sheets are high quality. I enjoy climbing into a bed that has crisp sheets. I've washed them several times now and have had NO problems. I do have to dry 1 king size sheet at a time in my dryer.
I have these sheets on 2 of our beds and will be ordering a set for a third bed this week.
Your pillow cases could be a little longer. But you still get 5 stars, since I'm extremely happy with the sheets.
I wish you carried solid colors in 220 count flat sheets, as that is my favorite thread count. The 3 sets of 220 ct, I bought 25 years ago from a local department store have finally worn out. I hope to get as many years out of your 280 ct sheets. I'll keep you posted.

Rated 3 out of 5 by fresh Please bring back the old percale
I'll keep these but I prefer the old percale that wrinkles but is more substantial. These feel a little slippery, less cool on a hot night.

Rated 2 out of 5 by DissatisfiedMN scratchy
After receiving my percale pillowcases I was surprised that so many people rated them highly. I find them quite scratchy, not unlike the 'wrinkle-free' poly-cotton blend ones that I had back in college. Not pleasant against the sensitive skin of my face. For that reason I ordered new ones from another source, these will probably get donated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by FirstQuality The best!
I've been buying these percale pillowcases for as long as Bean has been offering them. Because of sensitive skin, the cases get changed quite often, sometimes daily - and they've held up to all this use just beautifully. This is true, too, for the sheets - just love them. To those who say they come out wrinkled in the dryer: they're all cotton, they will wrinkle if you leave them in the dryer for too long - but if you take them out after they're dried and fold them they'll look and feel softer and smoother than anything you'll ever sleep on - especially those linens that don't wrinkle, they only do that because the fibers are coated with something that helps prohibit wrinkling - but they don't feel like all cotton percale.
These sheets and pillowcases are the only linens I own and the only linens I will use in our home and on its 5 queen size beds.
Wonderful product, LL Bean!

Rated 1 out of 5 by catmomof3 Not crazy about this purchase !!
The sheets are pretty. In the package, they feel scrumptous. I washed and dried them right out of the package and they are very wrinkled and look terrible. Call me disappointed with this rather expensive purchase. I'll stick to buying the pima shirts. Pima bedding, never again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynn5 True LLBean product!
We purchased these in 4 months ago and they have really held up. They still look like new and the fit and finish is superior. Would buy them again in a second.

Rated 5 out of 5 by chameli Great sheets for the price
I love these sheets and pillowcases. They fit perfectly and need no ironing after washing. I have the blue floral from years past and they are going strong despite countless washes. This print is prettier than the blue.
