How to Repair a Hole in an Air Mattress

Introduzione

In this guide, you will learn how to do simple hole repairs on any air mattresses or inflatable beds. You will repair this hole using vinyl glue and patches to ensure a strong patch that will last.

When an air mattress has a small hole as you use it, it will slowly deflate as time goes on until you touch the ground.

Before using this guide, ensure that the plug for airing up the air mattress is fully sealed so that it does not let air out because this could be your problem.

You will locate the hole whether you know where it is, or need to use soapy water to identify the location. Then you will apply the vinyl glue and patch to allow it to dry.

To begin the project, get your air mattress or inflatable bed aired up and ready.
