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:

100% recommend!

I have the 3 different sized lifesaver mats, and the wet/dry bag. I use the lifesaver mats all the time! They are wonderful for puking kids and the occasional accident. They also keep our bed dry during my husband and I's intimate time so there is no wet spot. I won't use towels anymore for sick kids since the vomit and "accidents" soak right through them. These have saved my couch during norovirus, and I am ordering more so I can have more in rotation so there's always a clean/dry one ready to replace the soiled one. I've used them outside for blankets in the grass, and just literally anything you'd use a towel/blanket for. You won't regret it, there are a million uses, like a Thneed (from the Lorax), only better!

Hey Rebecca! Many, many thanks for taking the time to leave such a glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that our Lifesaver Mat Packs have been such a useful and versatile product for you. We designed them with busy families in mind, and it sounds like they have truly been a lifesaver for you. We look forward to your next order of Lifesaver Mats! We love the Dr. Seuss reference- the Lifesaver is exactly like a Thneed! Have a great day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

best purchase ever!!!

I was holding off on buying one of these mats for a while! my kiddo had 3 accidents back to back and so that was the factor that made me buy the original size!
Kiddo chose the rainbow pastel colour! so far no accidents but my kiddo loves having the extra protection in case of any accidents at night!!!!!!
