How To Find a Hole In Air Mattress<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the most difficult processes of fixing an air mattress is how to find a hole in air mattress. Some holes can be very tiny and hard to see with the naked eye. A great way to find the hole is to fully inflate the mattress and stand it on end. Then listen very carefully to see if you can hear the air coming out. Do this in a very quiet environment so that you can hear the air rushing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Another method that works well is to use a spray bottle with some soapy water in it. Just like before inflate<\/a> the air mattress fully and stand it on end. But this time instead of listening for the leak spray some of the soap solution on the mattress. When the soap comes into contact with the air coming out of the hole, it will bubble up and show itself. Then you will want to clean off the mattress and circle the hole with a red magic marker. This will help you find it when you have your repair kit ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering how to fix a hole in an air mattress when you don’t have the proper tools, this next trick may help.

\u200bFixing The Hole With A Patch Kit<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>
<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The best way to fix a hole in an air mattress is with a repair patch kit. Most air mattresses come with these kits but if yours did not you can purchase a kit online. Once you have found the hole take out your repair kit. Completely deflate the mattress and lay it flat on the ground. With a piece of sandpaper remove any soft felt from around the hole. Next, clean the area around the hole with some soap or rubbing alcohol. Once the area is clean and dry, cut out a round path big enough to cover the area. Then apply the glue that came with the kit according to the instructions. Finally, once the patch is in place, put a few heavy books on top of it to hold it down until it drys.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
