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:

Amazing for these broke lesbians

My wife and I are constantly in a state of towel switching and trying to figure out how to sleep on top of a... wet mattress (iykyk). We decided to bite the bullet and spend the money rather than buy more Walmart towels and HOLY COW this is worth EVERY. PENNY. Get it.

Hey there, Wyn! Thank you for taking the time to review your Lifesaver Original Waterproof Mat! We definitely know what you mean, we are all leaky humans here at Lil Helper :) We know how important it is to have a soft and absorbent surface for bedroom activities so we are thrilled to read that you prefer your Lifesaver over Walmart towels. We wish you and your wife many dry nights full of time to be together (and not washing towels and navigating a wet mattress!) Have a wonderful day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
