    For Heavy Messes

    Start with a short pre-wash in warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent; we suggest Tide Original to Line 1. Follow with a heavy-duty, longest-cycle wash in warm or cold water, using the full recommended detergent amount. Add other laundry items to create a full load for proper agitation.

    For Everyday or Light Use

    If the mat is lightly soiled or already pre-rinsed, a regular wash cycle in cold or warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) with the normal amount of detergent is sufficient.

    Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or natural detergents, as they can affect waterproofing and absorbency.

    Drying

    Hang to dry whenever possible. If needed, tumble dry on low heat.

    Before washing, remove any solids from your product. For heavily soiled items that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until clear before storing. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short warm cycle (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent, then follow with a heavy-duty wash on the longest cycle in warm or cold water, adding other items to create a full load for proper agitation. For everyday or lightly soiled items, a regular cycle in cold or warm water with the usual amount of detergent is sufficient. Hang to dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on low if needed.
    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!

    Does Exactly What It Promises And Is More Reliable Than Us!

    Bought mainly for the sofa and bed as a breastfeeding safety net, and when it’s actually used, it’s flawless. Milk, baby fluids, general chaos: all contained. Forgotten once or twice, sofa paid the price. Not the mat’s fault...
    Material quality, stitching, and functionality are excellent. It’s robust without feeling stiff and does exactly what a waterproof mat should. We’ve also used it under the baby bathtub in the living room, and despite plenty of splashing, not a single drop made it through.
    Drying time is very reasonable when hang-dried indoors or on the balcony, even in February.
    One thing to note: the charcoal side runs quite warm. Cosy for some, too much for full-body contact for my wife. Easy workaround and not a dealbreaker.

    Bottom line: genuinely high-quality and incredibly useful. It saves furniture, extra wash cycles, and sanity. Just remember to actually put it down! :)

    Hey Hel JNK! Many, many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a detailed and positive review! We are thrilled to hear that your Lifesaver Waterproof Mat Original is living up to its promises and providing reliable protection for your sofa and bed during breastfeeding. We understand the chaos that comes with having a little one and we're overjoyed that our mat is able to contain it all. Thank you for mentioning the drying time and the warmth of the charcoal side; we take all feedback with open ears to improve upon our existing products. We hope that you have an amazing week ahead! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
