I have a queen size air mattress bed ,can someone tell me how to find the leak?

I have been pumping air into it the last 5 nights before bed as I can't find the leak...by the time I get up in the morning,it's pretty much gone.I have put it on the floor %26amp; spent a lot of time squeezing %26amp; trying to find the air leak with no luck.Any suggestions? It's not cheap so I can't just throw it out...

try a mix of soapy water and a paint brush when its inflated. brush the mix on the seams first. the soap will bubble where the air is escaping.
Reply:On a nice warm day take it outside. Put it on a plastic tarp to prevent getting more holes in it. Mix up a bucket of soapy water and in a systematic fashion put some soapy water on a section of the mattress. Wait a while and look for bubbles that just keep on going. If one section doesn't show any activity do the next section and so on until you've covered the entire mattress. I'm assuming of course you've already tried this on the valves to make sure they aren't leaking. You'll need a nice warm day so you can then let the mattress dry before repairing the leak. Good luck. That's a big air mattress to examine.
Reply:Yep, as they said, fill it with air, take a bottle of liquid soap and water and spread it over it. Don't be surprised if you have to do this two or three times and fix the leak each time before you get them all.
Reply:fill it full of air and throw it in a swimming pool and push it under the water,you will see bubbles at the leak ,hope that helps.
Reply:i agree with her
