L.L.Bean 280-Thread-Count Pima Cotton Percale Sheet Set vs Pinzon Signature Cotton Heavyweight Velvet

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

This time I measured the pillowcases when I opened the package and they were spot on at 20'x30'. It's only when they were washed that they shrunk a good 2" all around and became unusable for queen sized pillows. It's probably why the sheets seem a bit skimpy in width/length sometimes too. They need to preshrink the fabric is all, I don't know why this hasn't been addressed in over 10 years but Amazon really should insist upon it if they keep charging $75 per set

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. ...

PROS: These are equal in weight and comfort to the $250+ designer flannel sheets I bought for years. Other than some decorative detail work on the top sheet that are on my expensive sheets,I cannot tell a difference between those sheets and these Pinzon ones. After several washings, these are just getting softer and more comfortable! They are indeed made in Portugal according to the tag and the packaging, and I have no issues with the sewing or quality of the sheets themselves. I have not experienced any pilling AT ALL, something many flannel sheet brands have issues with

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

My previous set lasted 4 yrs , constantly on the bed and washed once a week and hot dryer. It was the elastic on the fitted sheet that gave way plus i wanted o change from high color teal, which never faded, to a clear soft sage. Some companies ofter a sage but use a cheaper dye turning the sage color milky and the color does not hold up.
