Big potential with your Lifesaver XL Mat

Size matters… 

Big mat = Big Potential

Sized at 57”x40” the Lifesaver XL takes all the awesome of its predecessor (the Lifesaver Original) to a bigger size and scale. That means MORE period protection properties, more mattress-saving potential, more coverage for sick kids or messy play, and more room for “extracurricular” bedroom activities 😉.

Easy to use, easy to take care of.

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. We believe that part of offering sustainable products is making products that last. That's why you can still find folks using mats that we made almost a decade ago. Wash after wash, this waterproof mat is made to last. This protector doesn't mind the dryer too. While we recommend line drying for the longest waterproof life possible, a tumble dry on low will be tickety-boo.

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!
