Has anyone found a good way of detecting a slow puncture ?

immersing a whole air bed under water is not easy.

Exactly!! And they won't let me take ours in the swimming baths.

I took ours to the swimming pool at the campsite.  I would add however that the puncture was not on the coleman double that we have had for 3 years with no problems but on an older unknown make we got from argos several years ago. Ended up binning it as the leak was on the seam.

Mine developed a puncture the second time we used it.    On the upside at least only half of it deflates when you get a puncture!   A good tip is to use these to fix punctures.  http://www.stif.co.uk/gear/select_options.asp?productID=1400   They are designed for bike punctures but are much quicker and easier than the stuff you get in airbed repair kits.

I gave up with Coleman after sending the bed back three times - I since got an Aerobed which has been fantastic - there is a review on here and a special offer I think -
