Air mattress problem

sunnysingh · 22 Jan 2011 at 19:38

I got a single air mattress which now seems to slowly release air and I cannot sleep on it for the whole night. I've tried seeing if there a puncture but can't find it. Are there any ways I could locate the puncture because it's driving me mad ?

inflate it in a bath, look for bubbles...

Is it new? New ones do this, according to the instructions.

I've had it 5 weeks, I can't feel no air being released. It never did this when I first got it. Plus I lost the receipt so cant return it

Water is the best way to find a puncture. Put it in the bath, See if any air bubbles are released.

Take it to your local swimming pool with you.

If it didn't come with repair patches, then as long as it's a flat area, you can get away with an inner tube repair kit, but it's not ideal.

Air mattresses are DAMN comfortable to sleep on, as a kid I was known to sleep on one in my parents' garden most of summer if weather was good

Fill it with mustard and squeeze. Look for yellow seepage.... and done!
