Lifesaver Mat size comparison

Sometimes, size does matter.

Perfectly-Sized Multipurpose Waterproof Mat

Goldilocks has daydreams about this bad boy, ‘cuz it’s not too big and not too small. The mat is sized at a convenient 28” x 40”. This means it is big enough to be used as an adult mattress protector, and small enough to be used in a toddler's bed, as well. Since it’s convenient for both at home and on the go, you’ll realize the uses are vast, and it won’t be long before you decide you need more.

We call this “The Original” because there is a Lifesaver Mini and an XL version of this exact mat!

We recommend a heavy-duty warm cycle with recommended commercially available detergent. Line dry when you can, but if you must, tumble dry low! Avoid any fabric softeners or dryer sheets to protect your mat’s absorbency.
Each Lifesaver Mat is made of 3 layers: waterproof PUL, absorbent microfibre, and a top layer of stay dry charcoal. Get all the details here.
This is the mat with a thousand uses. Waterproof PUL on one side, absorbent, soft, stay dry and stain resistant charcoal on the other, we are so proud of this product. Originally designed to help with potty training, our customers use our Lifesavers around their homes in so many ways: change mat, picnic blanket, beach towel, couch protector, sensory play mat, intimacy bed blanket, etc. Find out more here.
That’s a great question! Unfortunately it is a little tricky to answer. If you evenly and steadily distributed water across the entire mat, we could probably give you an amount, but that’s not really how most humans leak and therefore not how the mats get used. We do have this handy video to show you how our Lifesaver Mats absorb. This should give you an idea of how it works and if it will be a good fit for the mess you have in mind!

Including packaging, the mat’s weights are as follows:

Where have you been all my life?

Saw Uncle Mo (in probably older so should it be Brother Mo lol) on tik tok over a year ago and he hooked me in with his manner and passion.
Took a while to save up but finally bought an OG life saver mat and some tee wipes. Been married over 20 years and we've tried everything from disposable puppy pads to towels but nothing kept the bed dry if you get my meaning, that was until the lifesaver mat. It's definitely aptly named. It was amazing and more than did it's job. It was so freeing knowing we didn't have to change the entire bed after, with both of us being disabled thst can be a challenge to make time for being a couple then cleaning.
Thank you Lil Helper for all your advocacy and your amazing problems.

Hello Mandy!! Wowee, thank you for following Lil Helper on social media! Uncle/Bro Mo appreciates you! The Lifesaver Original Mat was created exactly with this in mind- bringing absorbency and convenience for life's messy moments. It is wonderful news to read that your night was freed up after using it and your bed could stay made! We are here for you and hope to offer more solutions to make your life a little easier! Keep following us on social media- you're the best!! Have a wonderful day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Saves Me Much Frustration

My 2nd grader has nighttime accidents several times a week. This thing is 100% leakproof. It saves me (and my back!) frustration from washing and making her bed nearly daily. Thanks!

Hey there! Sending you many thanks for taking the time to leave a 5 star review of our Lifesaver Original Mat! We love to hear that nighttime has been made easier while your kiddo is using their mat; it is even better news that your back can get a 'lil' break too! Did you know that we have our larger sized Sleepsaver sheets coming very soon? They currently come in a crib size but will soon be available in twin, full, queen, and king! We wish you and your family many restful nights ahead! :) - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Magical

Turns out you don’t just make your products with love, but you sprinkle a little magic on there as well. We bought two original lifesaver mats for my son’s never ending bedwetting and magically he hasn’t wet the bed since. Admittedly I’m a little bummed not to see them in action, but I’m certainly not complaining. A win is a win 🥇

Hi Mom!! :) Sending you so much gratitude for taking the time to leave such a kind and glowing review of our Lifesaver Original Mat! Our warehouse fairies must have given your mat a little extra magic, what wonderful news that you haven't needed to use your Lifesaver Mat for your original intended purpose. Since your son's bedwetting has subsided (at least for now! crossing our fingers for you!), we recommend using our mats for SO many things: sensory play, bath time, sick days, pet care- the list goes on and on! We wish you and your son many restful (and dry!) nights ahead! Thank you again for choosing Lil Helper! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
