Amazon Basics Ultra-Soft Cotton vs L.L.Bean 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set

I wanted cheap pillow cases that didn't feel like cheap pillowcases. It's a huge ask most of the times because there seems to be a price line where sheets go from hot garbage to decent, with obvious outliers on both sides. I count these as a pretty decent outlier. Probably the best thing about them is that the colors didn't bleed on their first wash

After receiving them, I washed them twice and put them on the mattress. No problem, very comfortable and I know they'll only get softer with time. I did use two sheet suspenders width-wise so the sheets wouldn't ride up. But the corners stayed put

All in all, I’d recommend these sheets, especially if you need more than one set as extras, guest bedding, large household, etc.

I Want to talk to you about how they're made first and why that results in the kind of fabric that it does. Percale, the weave itself is very simple. ...

But, wrinkles don't bother when sleeping, so that can be over looked. The feel of the fabric is soft and they are far thicker than microfiber, another plus. The few dollars of extra cost of Amazon's cotton sheet(s) are well worth the quality and comfort. Like that they are made in India rather than China!

"GASP!" said the wife. Listen, I slept on the ground in Vietnam for a year. Do you think I am concerned with sheets coming from the factory dirty? Anyways, out of the package the sheets were almost slippery but they felt good. Now they have been washed once

I like fabric of the body pillow case. The zipper is on the short side and is concealed under more fabric so the zipper isn’t exposed for anyone curious. Decent weight. My only complaint is that it smells reeeeaaallly bad

I got the Ivory color which has a yellow tone so they are like a very soft yellow, which is a plus to me. I will say, as mentioned in other reviews, for the 415 thread count, they are thinner than expected, most percale sheets are typically thinner but I did think they would be heavier because of the thread count. The sewing detail and styling is very simple, I'm thinking probably due to how things are done in Peru

Still, there are sheets that are definitely not breathable. This sheet works for me to the extent that I will continue to purchase this product instead of going to Costco or anywhere else. You can't beat the price for this quality--that's for sure.

A lot. The en-smallened bottom sheet still fits my mattress, as the set came out of the package sized to easily accommodate deeper mattresses and/or toppers and I have neither of these -- but folks who do have them, may be disappointed after laundering. I'm a reasonable person and a small bit of shrinkage and wrinkles is something I can live with, but c'mon - for the price I just plain expect better, especially when I still have cheaper sheets I bought years ago from discount stores that never had these issues. And I have neither time nor inclination to iron my bedding, even if wrinkles were the only problem

I'm going to order another brand that is actually, a real white. Also, this wasn't put in the wrong package. It doesn't come in another color that might be called a cream, and it's definitely not the "beige" option. Is just not white

The elastic is all the way around on the fitted sheet. I don't mind this at all, but my mother hates this trend. The only thing I really don't like about them is the color. I chose ivory, as I don't have a bed ensemble with white in it

The fabric is not as soft as a different satin style weave, but I wanted Percale weave which is like the nice old fashioned sheets they used to make many years ago. Still plenty soft enough for me and will get softer with washings. Surprised others felt this was too sharp and thin. A good price

The representative on the phone didn't even bring this up until *I* mentioned it, and let her know it's still in the fine print on her site. But she insisted the only way they could do anything was to physically bring the sheets into the store. During a pandemic. I'm heavily pregnant and immunocompromised, but she refused to budge on that
