  1. Before washing, make sure any solid matter is removed from your product. For items with heavy soiling that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear before storing for wash day.
  2. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short cycle using warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) and the recommended amount of detergent, such as Tide Original to Line 1. Follow with a heavy-duty, longest-cycle wash in warm or cold water, again using the appropriate detergent amount. To ensure proper agitation, add other items to create a full load.
  3. For everyday or lighter messes or items already pre-rinsed, a regular cycle in cold or warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) with the normal amount of detergent is sufficient.
  4. Whenever possible, hang to dry. If you’re in a rush, you can tumble dry on low.

Before washing, remove any solids from your product. For heavily soiled items that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until clear before storing. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short warm cycle (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent, then follow with a heavy-duty wash on the longest cycle in warm or cold water, adding other items to create a full load for proper agitation. For everyday or lightly soiled items, a regular cycle in cold or warm water with the usual amount of detergent is sufficient. Hang to dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on low if needed.
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.

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!

Great for senior pets

I have a senior diva kitty (18) who sometimes has bladder accidents. Unfortunately, she also loves sleeping on our bed during the day while we are at work, which can lead to some issues. Prior to getting this mat we were using the Amazon waterproof pads for beds, but found we had to layer at least 2 on top of the bed because sometimes one didn't fully work.
I put this Lifesaver mat on the bed with the waterproof side up and came home to find it is really waterproof! May be TMI, but the mess was puddled on top instead of absorbed down (and possibly absorbed into my bedding).
It looks nicer than the cheap Amazon pads and works significantly better. Win-win!

Hello Amber! Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat. We're thrilled to read how your sweet kitty can rest on your bed during the day without any leaks hitting your bedding! You may want to try flipping the mat around so that the charcoal side is face up. This will allow any liquid to absorb into the Lifesaver Mat instead of pooling on top. We're glad that replacing your disposable pads with our Lifesaver Mat has been a win-win for you. Please give your kitty a pet from all of us at Lil Helper! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Great for my special needs daughter

My 7 year old daughter with special needs still wets her bed 3-4 night a week. The lifesaver mats work better for her to use than a pull-up. She always peed through the pull-up and would get rashes. Now if she had an accident it is a quick easy cleanup and her skin is healthier. We have the lifesaver mat under her sheet but over her waterproof mattress protector. She tosses and turns a lot in the night so the fitted sheet on top keeps the lifesaver mat in place. Since using the lifesaver mats we really don’t have to change her waterproof mattress protector. We also tried using towels prior to purchasing the lifesaver mats but she would often pee through them or complain about the lumps in her bed.

It is worth the investment and has held up after 6 months of continual use and washing in the washer and drying in the dryer.

Hiya Heather! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat. We are tickled pink to read that it has been a great solution for your daughter's needs. We are all leaky folks so we truly understand how important it is to have a comfortable and easy cleanup option for accidents; we're glad our mat has been able to provide that for you. It is music to our ears hearing how well it has worked and held up through washing and drying as well. We appreciate you sharing your experience with us- it means more to us than we can say! We hope that you have a lovely day! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Hands down the best purchase I’ve ever made

We got the life saver mat a few years ago and it has been one of the best purchases we’ve made. Cannot rave about it enough. So comfy! Love the fleecy part for winter and the smoother side for summer! (I know they have their own uses but let me be!)
It literally made our lives so much easier! Just throw it in the wash and boom! You’re done! We typically line dry out clothes anyway and the best thing about this mat is that unlike so many other “waterproof” products, doesn’t hold on to water too much and does not drip on the floor! Both my mattress protectors (cheap and expensive one) do and it’s the most annoying thing having to put something to catch the dripping. But not with life saver mat! Never had this issue! I can’t wait to try the little helper bedding! Also customer service is impeccable! Honestly the best company to support ❤️
Much love to you all!❤️

Hey hey Donya! Thank you deeply for your kind and thorough review! We are thrilled to read that your Lifesaver Waterproof Mat has been the best purchase you've ever made. What an honor!!

So excited!

I ordered the lifesaver xl as a prrsent for my husband. It finally arrived today after its tour of The Netherlands (so annoyed that we all have to do stuff like this) and I LOVE it. The Oh Canada red is lovely and it’s soft and quiet and BIG! And I have plans for using it in so many places, what with an ancient cat, two teens, and two middle aged folk…I’m probably gonna need more.

Hey Allison!! Thank you deeply for taking the time to leave a 5 star review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat! We appreciate your patience in waiting for your Lifesaver to arrive to you as well. We're excited for you for all of the possibilities that your Lifesaver holds for your family!
