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.

Love love love

I started off with one XL mat and now have one of each size. These are no hospital style waterproof mats. The mats are so soft, yet durable! 10/10 recommend!

Hi Isabelle,
Is there anything worse than the crinkle sounds of a hospital mat or worse - a puppy pee pad? We don't think so! I'm bursting with joy knowing that our Lifesavers have given you an option with a little more joy and dignity.
10/10 grateful for your kind words,
Caitlin @ Lil Helper

Great for pool changeroom

This works great as a mat to stand on when changing in a pool change room on the wet floor. The patterned side down keeps floor water on the floor and the absorbent side helps dry feet. It washed up nicely in the washing machine and hung to dry.

Hi Laura!

Just when I think I've heard all the uses for our Lifesaver Mats you come in and blow me away - SUCH A GREAT IDEA! It fills me with delight every time someone shares how our Lifesavers make their lives better. Thank you so much for sharing!

With gratitude that my days of soggy feet on tile floor are over,

Cat Mat

I let my toddler choose the pattern he wanted. He ended up going with "New Stripes" which is a bunch of panthers. When it came in, I said that Uncle Mo made it to help with potty training. The first naptime we used it he climbed into bed excitedly, "It's my cat mat! I love Uncle Mo for making my cat mat to help me potty train!"

Everything is personal to a 3 year old, and the minimal laundry, plastics and disposables is personal to me.

Thank you for making an attractive product that works, all while reducing 'single use' waste in the world.

Easy to use and easy to clean, the lifesaver mat has already proven valuable to our daily routine.

Hi Gabrielle!

Cuteness overload - thank you for sharing how the Lifesaver Mat is helping your potty training journey (which is no small feat, sending good vibes for success your way!!)!

This is exactly what the Lifesaver was originally designed for, and while it has come to be known as the mat with a million uses, as a mom of 3 it brings a smile to my face knowing it's still helping parents get through potty training - and maybe even adding a little joy with the fun prints!

Grateful to you for sharing your review!
