Leaky Air Bed? Repair Kits Can Help.
Generally there can be a couple of methods an air mattress could be repaired, here are two remedies for mending your leaky air bed , with out all the hassles or expense of buying a new one. 1st, get a repair kit made for vinyl, this is the advisable method of many air mattress companies. If you have ever repaired any bicycle tube, this will likely be a snap. One common distinction is that you simply cannot place your entire air bed inside the sink or even inside a bathtub attempting to submirge under water to look for bubbles like you could a small tire tube - lol.

Has this happened to you? Alright, you’re on a camping trip & you are ready to go to bed so you simply attempt to inflate the airbed but it will not. Oh-no! You have a leak! Here are some straightforward ideas you may consider to locate a leak & repair it. Here are a few things you need to get in the event of "flatty". 1st you should have a very good vinyl repair kit. You can find most of these repair kits practically anyplace (local hardware retailers, swimming pool outlets, Amazon online or eBay.com). Second some sort of container of water. Use your water to discover the damage and do as instructed in the repair kit manual. Make sure the spot is dry, clean & dirt-free.
Another technique I discovered when searching on line is using a product called "Rust-Oleum Aqua" . I’ve never used this however it sounds like this should do the job. In case you don’t have the Aqua, you could use acrylic based spray paint. If you use paint, you’ll need to apply the same color (or close shade) to the mattress. If using both the paint or Aqua, you should definitely spray it outside or in a garage or carport with excellent ventilation.
Inflate your mattress completely. Get one of the previously mentioned items (Aqua or acrylic paint) and apply it all over the airbed. The coating acts as a barrier for the whole surface. This could be better when you have multiple leaks since it seals the entire surface putting a layer of insurance against future leaks. This might make the airbed appear brand-new too. Yet, I have never experimented with this method so i cannot actually remark how well it works. Most of the beds have flocking or that fuzzy surface and I would suppose it could become hard or perhaps rigid if you spray the coating on it.
Either way you choose, it can save you money and keep your old mattress. But if you truly would like a new air mattress, than fix it and make use of the old one for a tubing float or snow sled. Review this video below that shows repairing one.

I went camping many years ago with a nice big comfy air bed. At 3am I woke up sore from the hard ground. A flatty! All the air had slowly leaked out of a tiny hole so gently that I didn’t notice until it was completely empty. Unfortunately I didn’t take your advice and bring a vinyl repair kit. Sure will next time! That was a long uncomfortable night .. but I learned a lesson.

Thank you for the great story. The only time I was on a camping trip, we were white water rafting in Virgina and it rained like crazy. Our tent including our sleeping bags were soaked. We didn’t sleep on an air mattress, that would have helped a lot.

The majority of leaks are caused by small pinholes and tears that form in the delicate plastic skin of the air bed.

Thanks for stopping by raised air beds. I will be upgrade the site soon to show feeds from ecommerces sites that will update regularly. With camping season approaching in north american, many people find using inflatable camping air matresses a great comfort while camping. Aero air mattress can be easier to inflate and lighter weight than for example the Intex air beds.

Hey thanks for the cool site the info here is actually useful. I remember going camping twice and yes once I had the dreaded leaking air mattress. You don’t think of these things when you go camping – well at least I don’t/ However, doing so makes sleeping with others a much more pleasant experience. Cheers

An interesting health benefit to also consider from the use of an air mattress today is the fact that many are manufactured with materials that eliminate the release of toxic poison phthalates and dioxins into our planets environment like older PVC, vinyl and vinyl fiber or vinyl fabric airbeds do. You can protect your health and the environment at the same time.
