Check that it is indeed a leak

An air mattress may deflate slightly 💨 after several days of use or temperature variations 🌡️, without necessarily leaking. A new mattress may seem deflated at first, without being punctured or needing repairs. When purchasing, favor robustness 💪🏻 to avoid frequent repairs. Repairing an air mattress is a simple task that you can do yourself .😇

Find the leak

To fix a leak in your air mattress, inflate it to the maximum 💨. If you can't do this, inspect it closely for a hole or crack. If you can inflate it, sit on it 🚀 (make sure your cat 🐈 isn't there) to increase the air pressure and make it easier to detect the leak. Listen 👂 for the sound of air coming out and check the part of the mattress on the floor, which is often damaged by objects lying around.

Alternative options

Wet your hand before passing it along the mattress to be repaired, the air released by the leak will be very cool and therefore easier to detect.
Apply soapy water to the entire surface of your mattress. You will see small soap bubbles forming where the leak is.
If you have a small mattress, such as a pool mattress or a child's mattress, inflate it and submerge it in a bathtub. Follow the bubbles to find the leak!

Steps to follow

Scrape or sand

Most air mattresses are covered with a layer of fabric or velvet. Start by sanding the surface around the leak with the scraper included in your kit. If you don't have one, fine sandpaper or steel wool can also do the trick.

Clean and dry

Use a cloth dampened with soapy water to remove dust from the area to be repaired. Then, wipe the mattress with a clean, dry cloth and let it dry for about 15 minutes.

Cut out the patch

Now it's time to cut a patch the right size for your leak. This patch should be about 1.5 times the size of the leak. In all cases, make sure to leave at least 1 cm overhang on each side of the leak.

Apply the patch

In your kit, you will find either a self-adhesive patch or a patch with a tube of super glue. Apply it following the instructions provided in the leaflet of your repair kit. Be careful when applying it, because if you try to peel it off and put it back on, it could alter the properties of the glue.

Press to set the glue

Once you have your patch in place, press it firmly with the palm of your hand for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the glue stick to your fingers! You can also use a rolling pin.

Let it dry

Whether you use a self-adhesive patch or glue, your repair will need several hours to be truly effective. Place heavy, flat objects on top of the patch if you can, such as a stack of books, and let it dry for 8 to 24 hours.

Check

It's time to check not only if your repair was effective, but also if your mattress has any other leaks. Inflate it to the maximum and sit on it. If your mattress is properly sealed, your body should not sink more than 5 cm.

And if you don't have a patch, then you might have a solution that sticks 😃

Effective alternatives

Adhesive patch
Self-adhesive patches specifically designed for air mattresses can be a quick and effective solution. Be sure to clean the area around the leak before applying the patch.
Strong glue
To do this, inflate the mattress a little so that the glue does not touch the other side, then apply glue to the hole and to an area of about 1 cm around it. Wait 10 minutes (for it to dry). Repeat steps 3 and 4 twice.
Adhesive tape
Some adhesive tapes are specifically designed to repair air mattresses. Be sure to use a water-resistant tape to ensure a long-lasting repair.
Imitate the patch
Instead of this material, cut a square of plastic to the desired size, such as a shower curtain or tarp, apply glue to it and place it over the holed area.
