Rated 5 out of 5 by Lngtmshpr Satisfied! Most comfortable sheets ever
While some of the recent reviews are less than positive, I have been one hundred percent happy with these sheets (red ticking stripe). The fabric is incredible. Med-heavy weight flannel, soft but not nappy or pilled and very durable. I have been using these sheets year round with weekly Washings for nearly 10 years and they are still in great shape! I'm not even sure the color has faded, they seem to only improve with age. The only reason I ever bought more was for my son, and the quality now seems comparable to the older set. These may be a little pricy but they are truly worth it.

I can't understand the negative reviews re softness and pilling. These sheets are incredibly soft, more so w/ washing. I haven't experienced the pilling that others have. If anything, the color fades a bit and they become threadbare from softness. I'm sure water sources affect the wash result. I just replaced my flat queen sheet, which ripped, probably from my handling of it. It lasted years of weekly washings and they are our favorite sheets. Thanks, LLB!

Rated 3 out of 5 by WIShopper15 Still undecided...
We spent over $100 on this sheet set a few months ago and I'm still undecided. I LOVE the look of them and was very happy with how they match our bedroom. They are warm and fit our queen bed perfectly.
My hesitation is that they seemed to "pill" after three or four washes. We keep these sheets on our bed all winter and maybe they can't handle daily use but the fitted sheet did not live up to my expectations considering the price we paid.
I'd order sheets from LL Bean again... I think. I'm a little more hesitant that I was before.

These sheets are very warm and soft, but they do pill. I have pieces of lint all over the floor around the bed, even after washing them. HOWEVER, I still really like them so far. Only had them about a month, so cannot speak as to longevity, but am happy so far. And it's great being able to buy separately since we have a split king bed and it's hard to find sheets for that.

I have been using these sheets for about 3 months. They have some pilling in the most heavily used areas, but I do toss a few times in the night. They are warm and a medium thinkness. Overall I like them and will probably get a few years of use from them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by unhappy79 received as a gift and immediately returned them
right out of the plastic bags these sheets were rough to the touch, I would not recommend anyone buy these sheets, I have several pairs of the regular solid flannel sheets they are absolutely fantastic, these sheets are terrible compared to them, I'm a long time customer and I have noticed over the last 5 or 6 years the quality of LLBean price has gone downhill big time, but yet they're still charging you the same prices they've always charged except now you're getting a lesser product, if it's not made in USA I would not recommend buying it, because I've noticed some of the LL Bean stuff is now made overseas and they're just not the same, not as good of quality they used to be

Rated 3 out of 5 by RleneML not as good as solid ultrasoft flannel sheets
I purchased solid color ultrasoft flannel sheets and thought they were the best flannel sheets I ever bought. So......why not get them in another color. Ordered these striped ultrasofts assuming they would be the same softness. Wrong! The striped sheets are not that soft and actually feel scratchy on my feet (the fitted sheet). Could tell there was a difference when I washed these; there was hardly any pilling or lint in my dryer lint catcher. With the solid color sheets, the lint catcher was full. So these stripes are not the same. Stick with the solids and you won't be disappointed.

I previously ordered these sheets in plain colour and have added the stripes to be able to mix and match. They wash and dry very well with no shrinkage, resist pilling, and are nice and cozy to get into bed on a cold night!
My only complaint -Wish LLBean had kept the Atlantic blue shade from last year instead of changing the colour to a royal blue.

These sheets have held up wash after wash. They have generous sizing, are soft, and warm.

These sheets are perfect if you love the feel of flannel-I use them all year long.
