Keeps moisture in its place

The bottom layer of the Lifesaver is lined with a waterproof material. That means that your bed, couch, or floor will stay dry as a bone and protected from any and all unexpected mess.

Baby stays dry

Hidden deep in the magical depths of this mat are layers of absorbency that will hide a shocking amount of liquid. Plus the naturally wicking charcoal topper will hide stains and keep everything feeling dry.

Period Protection
Incontinence Support
Sweat Soaker ...and more.

You will find yourself reaching for your Lifesaver for everything from avoiding messes.. to feeling hot..to just feeling like a hot mess.

 

Sometimes, size does matter.

Sized Perfectly

Goldilocks has daydreams about this bad boy, cuz it is 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 on a toddler's bed and small enough to be tucked cosily in a crib. Since it is 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!

Nobody has time for “hand wash only.”


Easy to use, easy to take care of.


Make your mess and then pop it in the washing machine. The waterproof barrier is guaranteed to outlast 200 commercial launderings. Your rugged jeans (that you spent a whole afternoon picking out and that give you “internet-breaking” curves) will tear into rags after just 100 washes. And yes! It can go in the dryer too.

Awesome Gift Idea

Friends don’t let friends do laundry any more than hygienically necessary. Once you discover all the uses for this mat, it would be selfish of you not to share. Plus it comes in beautiful prints and solid colours that anyone will love.

Whether you want to be known as the friend who gives the best gifts, or make the messiness of parenting or life look effortless (despite the fact that those jeans haven’t been washed in recent memory), the Lifesaver is the product for you.

Newbie Guide

This wash routine is easy peasy! The Life Saver mat can be washed with your regular wash, we do however caution against using hot water. We suggest not washing it with cloth diapers as its quite bulking and can disrupt proper agitation of the diapers. For drying we suggest hang drying, however, if tumble drying we recommend using LOW-MED heat.
The design on these things is equal parts simple and genius! There is a waterproof backing that comes in our AH-MAZING prints. Paired with our comfy stay dry charcoal material you find in our beloved cloth diaper inserts. Our charcoal layer is a thirsty combination of naturally wicking material that will absorb a torrent of liquid and will still keep the surface feeling dry.
The mat is sized at a convenient 28’’ x 40’’. The large change mat is big enough to be used on a toddler's bed. It is small enough to be tucked cosy in a crib.

Maternity must have

Whenever I tell my birth story I comment on how amazing this thing was when my water broke. Saved my couch, my car seat, and the chair in the hospital waiting room. The nurses were amazed at how much liquid it held!
Now I have it around for late night diaper changes.

Hi B.O.! Wow! Thank you for choosing us to be alongside you for the birth of your baby. It is an honor to have our Lifesaver Mat save so many surfaces and bring peace of mind during such an important time. The Lifesaver Mat was designed with new parents in mind so it's great to hear it lived up to its name. I hope it continues to come in handy for those late night changes and grows with your little one to absorb messes during sensory play, outdoor picnics/sports, and the occasional stomach bug too! Be well! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Just in case!

I got this for my son... or even myself for those just in case times. The quality is amazing. Would love to see something like this made into a chair pad shape for cars and computer chairs! Thanks Mo!

Best gift!

We asked for one of these for our baby shower. I didn't know how much we would use it, but boy is it actually a lifesaver!
We use it for playtime and tummy time on our couch and bed. We also use it as an emergency changing pad on the go. It's caught several accidents, and after a quick wash, it's good as new. Definitely recommend!

We're thrilled to hear that your Lifesaver Original Mat has been a lifesaver for you and your sweet little one.

Functional AND Beautiful!

I bought 2 mats - the Koi and New Stripe patterns. These are just BEAUTIFULLY made and the fabric is amazing on both sides. I bought them for my cat to lay on after this baths but these are so nice I may need to keep them for myself! Super absorbent....I used one to roll up my wet swimsuit, it was practically dry by the time I got home and the mat didn't even feel damp.

Hi E.H.
We won't hold it against you if you steal your cat's lifesaver mat... but we might hold it against you if you don't share adorable cat pics with us. Just sayin'.
We knew are yinyang bags make great pool accessories and of course our Moasis towels but we never thought about a Lifesaver as a super dryer! What a great idea!
Thank you so much for sharing.
So much love,
Caitlin @ LIl Helper
