There is a leak in our mattress, what can I use to repair the leak?

Most hardware stores carry air mattress repair kits. The only issue that we faced is the way that this mattress is chambered, our repair created a huge bump in the bed when it was inflated. We had to get a new one.

There was a patch kit that came with our original mattress. But the cement had hardened in the container and nothing we tried worked to repair the leak. Thus we purchased a new mattress here on Amazon.

I think it depends where the leak is. If it's in a flat smooth area a tire or swimming pool patch might do. If it appears to be near a seam or valve it may be more difficult to fix.

I have used "Marine GOOP" to repair seams and small holes. The repair is flexible and strong. We use the mattress often in our RV so it usually develops leaks along the side where folded or in seams.

I used a generic footpump that also works with my inflatable mattress. If the adapter fits the inlet an electric pump will work (and be much faster) but be very careful to keep an eye on the firmness. Over-inflating the sections of the pool may cause it to rupture.

We use these awesome sheets with the Naturepedic Waterproof Flat Pad. If you have a leak you unzip, remove the pad, place a new one down, zip in the new sheet. Done and done. These sheets are a must have!

Duct tape..if its real damaged, cut it in 2 with clean cuts then duct tape it. It worked for me

What is the return address? As this mattress leaks and we need replaced or refund.

I bought this for a couple using my basement bedroom, so long term. Very shortly after starting to use it, one of the mattress tubes developed a leak, so now it has a downhill tilt. Re-filling it doesn't seem to help.

Bogart, try mixing a little soap and water in a spray bottle. Use cold water and liquid soap and don't make bubbles.Inflate the boat and get someone nice and fat (in my case I would just sit on it myself) and spray the soapy water on all the seams. You should be able to detect the leak. Don't forget to flip it over and check the bottoms.Hope that helps.

There is a rubber type gasket that runs around the outside to stop leaking. You can remove it.

It just lies over (and into) the gap. Which is part of the problem. There really is no way to keep the mattresses from shifting. Yes, you can remove and reuse the product.

I called Intek, one of the largest manufacturers of air mattresses and vinyl pool equipment. They recommended using a fine grade sandpaper to remove the fabric covering around the tear and then patching the area. That sounds about right to me.

I think you would want to stick with a waterbed patch kit. This adhesive is meant to be used without a patch as it bonds to itself to mend a tear or rip. It worked well on a pair of leather work gloves with waterproof finger tips to seal a rip in a fingertip. I wouldn't trust it to hold all the pressure of a waterbed.

I used this to repair the hole, and then used a piece of vinyl and All purpose cement to patch it. I let that sit for 2 hours and have not had any issues out of any of my repairs. Smaller holes I was able to just use this by itself. This product doesn't seem to be very sticky for attaching a patch, but it somehow manages to almost "mold" the vinyl of the mattress back together.

Hey, we had a similar problem with an air mattress. We have a pool and inflated it just a little bit and put it under the water and waited for the bubbles to find the hole. You can patch it with a bike tire patch kit. If you don't have a pool, you could just fill up that section in the kayak and try it in the tub.

I can't imagine it being a problem as (mentioned earlier) the pillows firmness is determined by the amount of water you put into the pillow. Regarding damage to your mattress... I've had my pillow for only a couple of months... it hasn't leaked, but I can't guarantee that it won't.

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.

Yes ours is leaking also, what have you tried? My husband thinks he needs to tork the screws tighter. Wanted me to see if anyone else had this problem and how they fixed it.

I took mine apart and put Vaseline around the water inlet fitting, which has done the trick for over six months now. I disconnected the fittings, coated the water line and fitting with Vaseline and reassembled. I asked my local hardware store person about the leaking and he suggested this. It works!
