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.

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.

Does not stay in place. Odd customer service.

Original size mats seems to be good quality but waterproof side is too slick to stay in place when slept on (by teen who sleeps like a rock). In theory the dimensions are perfect but I wish I would’ve sized up. It’s now too late because no return/exchange if product has been slept on or used already. My fault for letting my excitement of purchase cloud my judgement to not read FAQs first. Customer service confirmed they would not be able to do anything and recommended I instead purchase similar product from another retailer - “ I do want to personally recommend the bed pads from pillowfort- (Target) they have worked great for my family!”. Strange strategy to send customers away but I will now shop around.

Hi there,
We understand why it seems odd - one of our practices for kind capitalism is to always try to help folks however we can so we are happy to make recommendations if for whatever reason our products don't work for you. Every body and every family's needs are different. Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to our delight team (delight@lilhelper.ca) and share your experience. I hope our recommendation and Joyful Offer on other solutions for your family helped make your day a little brighter, even if your Lifesaver mat didn't work for your teen exactly how you'd hoped.
Best wishes,
Caitlin @ Lil Helper

So versatile!

We love our original lifesaver mats. I started out ordering one and now we are up to three! Perfect for diaper changes and bed wetting accidents. I have one for in my car, at our diaper changing station and in the littles bedroom. Love all the uses and how helpful they are. They are super soft on the one side and have beautiful prints on the other.

Hey Spencer!

That's why we currently offer them in 3 great sizes - mini, original, and XL - with more options coming soon!
