I have had my coleman comfort airbed for a couple of months now and although it has only been used a few times it has a leak somewhere and goes down very slowly. It is worth trying to fix it (they're not the cheapest of airbeds) and if so how can I find the leak? I'm disappointed as it so comfy and I can't understand why it is leaking as it hasn't had much use and has been well looked after.

Blow it up hard & in a quiet place try listening for the leak, as you get near to it you will hear it then feel it on your cheek. Did this with ours after trying water, a pin hole near the valve, an accident not a fault, fixed it & no problems.

Thanks for the replies - I've emailed the company we got it from first to see what they say and if I have no joy I'll attempt to find the leak!

I have an Aerobed which has been brilliant and they have a 2 year guarantee - there is a review on the site and someone on another thread said there was a discount - not sure if that has finished

We bought some stuff called Air Stop which you paint over the hole. It seems to have worked a treat, we lent it to some fellow campers and they mended theirs too.

If the airbed is waterproof blow it up and stick it in a bath of water - you will see bubbles coming from where the leak is.

Try spraying it with soapy water, the leak will blow bubbles
