Lil Helper Leak Squad: Which Hero Do You Need?
So you are looking at Lifesaver Mats or the Sleepsaver Mattress Protector, and not sure which to get. Never fear, every product in this crew is soft, absorbent, and waterproof—aka ready to tackle bedwetting, period leaks, sweaty sleepers, and those mysterious “someone spilled something” situations. The difference? Size and how you use it.
The Sleepsaver Mattress Protector
Think of this as the stay-at-home superhero. Elastic straps hug your mattress (in sizes Twin to King) and quietly guards against every leak, sweat, and spill. Perfect if you want set it and forget it protection. Downside? When it takes a hit, the whole thing goes in the wash.
Lifesaver Mats
These are the flexible sidekicks you can toss anywhere: couch, bed, car, or floor. All have a soft top, thirsty middle, and waterproof bottom—just different sizes:
Mini: purse-friendly for diaper changes, stroller rides, or emergency coffee spills.
Original: great for a kid’s bed or protecting a couch cushion.
XL: roomy enough for a whole twin bed or toddler tornado zone.
XXL: the big kahuna for king beds, hospital setups, or Niagara-Falls-level leaks.
Lush XL: same XL size but with an extra snuggly “treat-yourself” top - the same super soft minky is found on all Sleepsaver Mattress Protectors.
How to Pick Your Leak-Fighting Partner
Whole-bed coverage? Sleepsaver Mattress Protector.
Move-it-around convenience? Grab a Lifesaver Mat.
Bigger messes or bigger beds? XL or XXL.
Small but mighty? Mini for the win.
No matter which you choose, they all wash up beautifully and save your sanity (and your mattress). Because life is messy—but your bed doesn’t have to be.
| Product | Size / dimensions (or scale) | Key features / construction | Best use cases / advantages |
|---|---|---|---|
| SleepSaver / mattress protector | Fits full mattress sizes (Twin, Full, Queen, King) | “All-in-one”: a minky top for comfort, absorbent microfiber middle, waterproof (PUL) backing; uses snap-on elastic straps so it stays in place. | Use as a permanent mattress cover to protect against leaks, night sweats, incontinence — replacing or supplementing a regular mattress protector and fitted sheet. Great when you want full coverage and something you can leave on the bed all the time. |
| Lifesaver Lush XL | Larger blanket / mat size (XL) 57” x 40” (144.78 cm x 101.6 cm); 0.975 grams (2.15 lbs) | More luxurious (“lush”) finish - Minky top just like our Sleepsavers with absorbent & waterproof layers. | When you need a large “blanket-style” protective layer (e.g. over a bed, sofa, play area) with a nicer feel than our traditional charcoal fabric. Sensory sensitive folks celebrate! |
| Lifesaver Waterproof Mat XXL | Very large mat / overlay Lifesaver XXL: 57” x 80” (144.78 cm x 203 cm); 1.596 kilograms (3.52 lbs) | Maximum coverage, absorbent + waterproof construction, with classic charcoal stay dry, moisture wicking absorbent side. | When you need coverage beyond the mattress — e.g. for beds plus extra margins, hospital beds, multi-use areas, or very heavy leak use. |
| Lifesaver XL Mat | XL version (mid-large) Lifesaver XL: 57” x 40” (144.78 cm x 101.6 cm); 961 grams (2.12 lbs) | Balanced size / coverage for many typical beds or areas. | Good “middle ground” — more coverage than the original but not as big (or heavy) as XXL. |
| Lifesaver Mat Original | Standard mat size (for bed, chair, etc.) Lifesaver Original: 28” x 40’” (71.12 cm x 101.6 cm); 546 grams (1.20 lbs | Waterproof + absorbent, multipurpose. | Use for individual beds, couches or places you want moderate protection without full mattress size. |
| Lifesaver Mat Mini | Smaller size (mini version) Lifesaver Mini: 18’’ x 28’’ (45.72 cm x 55.88 cm); 189 grams (0.42 lbs) | Same waterproof/absorbent layering, just smaller footprint. | For small surfaces: changing areas, strollers, travel, localized protection (e.g. on a pillow). |
