Thanks! Can’t wait to try this to fix a pretty expensive inflatable bed. I really like the fact that you included the “fail” as I think that is important as well.
About the same sprung a leak ~0230. Got a cot set up by 0315, but can't sleep thinking about my leaking $200 air mattress so I am watching this a 0330.
@@JonnyDIY It did! Thank you! Then I got another small leak a week later 😔 And this was a pretty decent mattress! I was so tired though from so much recent trauma that I would just drink a lot of iced tea before bed so I would have to wake up every couple of hours to pee. And blow up the bed. Lol. My aunt shipped me a fab one, Brookstone Queen, the tall one. Now, 2 months later- I'm back to your feed to make sure I'm fixing THIS hole correctly. Ughghgh. FML
@@RadioWendy22 sorry to hear you got another leak. I feel you, I slept on one when I was doing renovations on a house for about a year. I made sure be real careful and put a rug under it. Careful not to push right up against wall cause could be carpet tack strip poking up
Thanks Johnny DIY, tried for months to find a leak in high Airbed, plugged it in and blew it up in a quite room and found the leak in seconds, patched and all good, cheers.
I love your room's totally cluttered lifestyle look. I'd feel right at home in your place/crib/pad/digs. (I'm 70, so not sure what they call an apartment these days.) Thanks for the tip. I'm sleeping on two deflated air mattresses.
Like many DIY videos, it was very satisfying to see the process completed with that large black patch. All good, ready to exit to another video. Then, almost too quickly to notice: "Oh, never mind, it didn't work." Classic. ll worked out though lol
Haha it happens! Turns out that batch of glue I first used was defective 🤦♂️ Got it done though! Patch still holding strong, just used mattress a couple weeks ago 👍
Welp looks like I need to start watching full videos because I tried the first attempt and ended up on the floor woke up came back to reply and troll realized there was 3 mins of video left and here I am now! Scraping and adding glue hopefully night 2 of camping isn’t as rough!😂
I ordered something from Amazon that was specifically for air mattress tear repair. I can't remember the name but all you have to do is look up air mattress patch kit. The only bad thing is you needed to leave it for 48 hours for it to set. I just put a bunch of books on top of it. But it worked beautifully. I use that bed for another 6 months, I was living someplace where I knew I wouldn't be there long and I didn't want to go to the expense and trouble of buying a bed. So I slept on that air mattress for 9 months and that one patch really worked. But the biggest deal was you have to let it set for 48 hrs or it won't take.
@@clarkmacgowan5114 Awesome thanks for sharing. Yeah I slept on an air mattress for a year too before when I was moving between houses working on them.
Another good idea is to trim/round off the four sharper corner edges of the new patch. If not, these are the points where a patch will usually come apart or peel off.
Thank you for this! I got 2 nice inflatable mattresses and I was not ready to toss them, that Classic Patch Fix worked fantastic!! I love that it comes with pre-cut patches in different sizes, I like to use them on movie night in the living room great for my kids, thank you again so much.
you are the most helpful guy ever, i just subscribed to your channel yesterday on something else and was so glad I just found this one by accident today....... I appreciate all your details and not too jiggly camera work.
I had a go spraying the bottom of my queen air mattress with soapy water this morning and around the little plastic panel where the electrical works are....nothing, nothing. I felt so deflated I dried it off and went to run some errands. When I got home I thought well, might as well try the other side since I've come this far but I needed to top up the air. Switched it on til full, went to shut it off and VOILA!! Little BUBBLES at the switch from this mornings water! THANK YOU THANK YOU! I never expected the leak would be there.
Use goop sealant, cut a piece of vinyl fabric as the patch. Goop is flexible and strong and the vinyl fabric (pleather) patch will reinforce it. Tire patch rubber cement is not compatible with the vinyl these mattresses are made of.
@ 2slofouru: Is there a specific type of goop? I’ve seen the product at Walmart or Home Depot. Sometimes there are multiple versions of a product and I want to make sure I select the correct one? My air mattress is also vinyl but I suppose most of them are?
The adhesive your using is meant for vulcanizing rubber. The air mattress is made of PVC. You need to use a PVC sealant. That's likely why the first patch failed and I wouldn't expect the second one to last long term.
I have velvet on one side and the rubber on the other side I fixed the other side with this very strong tape that I have and then it ended up when I put the air in it found five holes pin holes on the Velvet and nothing seems to be helping should I put that glue on the Velvet I haven't tried that yet for the tower glue I'm so freaking fed up LOL with this trying to fix this it's so aggravating and it's a big king size one and camping and been laying on the ground in the tent for a day and a half and I'm ready to pull my hair out I can't do anything on this velvet it's so thick please somebody help me so I use the bicycle glue I thought about a hot glue gun but I don't know if you could put that on there and I use the the soapy water you see God if I can find any more holes but I don't see any more holes it's just aggravating find something to stick on his velvet if I could put that glue on the Velvet please let me know I appreciate it so much thank you 😕lol ..
Find the hole grab a lighter and something with plastic wrapping. In my case I used my black and milds box covering. Tear a small piece off light the plastic 🔥 blow it out and quickly place it on the hole for atleast 10 seconds with pressure and repeat if necessary. My bed is no longer sinking in. That’s the manly way to do it I believe bc if I gotta go back to the store I’m returning it
Slept on a leaky air mattress all Christmas Eve night while me and my hubby are sick. It Christmas morning hopefully we’ll be able to get something to patch it.
I was worried about using a soap solution on these almost cloth feeling mattresses. No issues with cleaning it up after the hole is found? I have done this with pool floats and such but not with anything that feels like these beds.

So Jonny DIY the hole in my air mattress is on the top where it has a type of felt like material. I used Duct tape first but the tape didn't stick to the felt. Then I tried Gorilla glue with the tip of a Q tip. That held for a while. Now it's leaking again. I used more Gorilla glue and Q tip but still leaking air. And again the hole is on the top of the mattress. Any suggestions...
You can do the same fix as I did here, but be sure to scrape and sand off all the old glue around the hole. And since on the felt you use a lil bit more of the patch glue. Can get a bicycle patch kit at any Walmart, sporting store or bike shop 👍
That's what I'm looking for the Velvet part I got like six little holes in it for my cats I found the holes but I tried absolutely everything to cover the holes to seal and nothing seems to work and he suggestions please
Ok so I used Gorilla glue and cotton from the tip of a Q-tip. Held for about 2 weeks. Now leaking air again. I also have cats in house. So it's either a new hole or the glue has cracked and leaking. Any suggestions...
I used duct tape, I was super desperate to quickly fix it but it’s actually working so well! I did a small square of tape over the hole, then a bigger square of tape over that, and then a final piece over that.
I did the soapy method and used a self-adherent adhesive bandage wrap with super glue worked so far even for a 5mm tear with the mattress inflated of course you cut a piece that you need to cover hole or tear and put super glue on the section air is coming out then the bandage press down it drys up and bam we are ready to use by the way I used $1 super glue work great.
Yes it should still work, I've patched both areas with success before. I just use more glue on the felt. If small prick put glue over hole then glue patch over whole area as well. Make sure to clamp down as I showed as pressure while drying will be key 👍
I used Gorilla Glue thick black tape on mine and it’s working fine! After I applied the tape I used a hair dryer to help the tape and air mattress mesh together.
Hi Jonny, thanks for your help. I have an air mattress with a leak but hell can I find the leak ? I've looked everywhere. Do you have any suggestions please ? Thanks Paul
I've always had luck with either listening for it, feeling for the air (sounds funny, but if you put your lips near leak you'll feel it), or the soapy water spray bottle. It's also possible its leaking from the pump mechanism. I've never taken one apart to see if possible to fix that though.
Hi! Thanks for the video! I currently own a broken air mattress, its corner had been torn, so there’s a more than 10 inches of hole in the air mattress. Apparently I cannot fix it with patches…Is there any possible way that I can fix it? Or I’ll have to throw it away and replace it? Thank you for your time!
Ooo 10 inch hole will be tricky to fix. It's possible with a very large patch, but will be difficult to get to seal I'm thinking. You could try. I would probably just get a new one though or be prepared to at least if doesn't work 👍
@@JonnyDIY Appreciate your reply! We managed to tape it with a bunch of duct tape but there’s still some air going out :( We’ll probably just get a new one or keep working on that… Thanks for the advice!
If big, slip a small piece of tape in hole and press outside of mattress against it. If not too big can lightly glue just the punctured area first, wait to dry then large patch over hole 👍
Usually if the leak is from the pump you're out of luck and will need a new one. That or take apart the pump assembly, and try and figure whats leaking
Need to try this. Over the summer three little girls slept on it... that's where I went wrong. That's three little girls seeing something they can bounce on lol. Now my sisters visiting along with my parents so I guess I better patch it for my sister lol
Yes, for that big of repair I may do a sandwich patch with one patch on the inside glued and dried then one on the outside. Youll probably have better luck creating a seal that way 👍
Hi Jonny, It's me again. Just a thought, when I've repaired my Airbed's I've used Gorilla Epoxy Resin and I've used it three times all were successful. I don't use any patches, just put it straight on. Never fails. I also keep the bed at 90% blown up so the glue isn't stretched so much when hard. As you will know it's part resin and part hardener, mix it together and it bonds like magic. It's even made in America. Also I was wondering re finding the impossible leak: Is there a chance you might check out the pump and whether that could be a source of leakage ? Thanks for your help, Paul

Our high end air mattress deflates hourly so my husband re inflates thru out night. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF OR A ROCKET LAUNCH. hope this works
omg, i came looking on ytb to find out how do you know how much to blow up an air mattress. i hope this isn’t an omen that i need to learn this too even for my new mattress 😬😩
Youll be fine, just be careful of laying it on carpet because sometimes sharp things in it. Check flooring before blowing up. Dont put up against wall with carpet because tack strip can puncture or I lay down thick blanket first 👍 But if you use an air mattress long enough you'll get a hole

So Jonny DIY the hole in my air mattress is on the top where it has a type of felt like material. I used Duct tape first but the tape didn't stick to the felt. Then I tried Gorilla glue with the tip of a Q tip. That held for a while. Now it's leaking again. I used more Gorilla glue and Q tip but still leaking air. And again the hole is on the top of the mattress. Any suggestions...
You can do the same fix as I did here, but be sure to scrape and sand off all the old glue around the hole. And since on the felt you use a lil bit more of the patch glue. Can get a bicycle patch kit at any Walmart, sporting store or bike shop 👍
My hole in my mattress is on the top and that is where the mattress has a fuzzy surface. How do I get patch to stick? Sand all fuzz off near hole?
Yes that will help to thoroughly scuff. I've patched the tops with success with this method and another using e6000 glue 👍
Love the classic Casio watch!!

Great video, Jonny. Thanks for posting it.
You're welcome, happy to help 👍
Can I use the same thing if it's on the top of the mattress with the fabric
Yes, you can use a thicker glue like e6000 with patch too
A glue that really holds up to literally everything, it's E6000. Last time I checked, it was the 2nd strongest glue avaible
Yes that will work too, I've used that before 👍
But do in very ventalated area. That fumes cause cancer. Read the label
What about if the hole is in the seams of the fabric on top of the mattress? Mine has a pinprick hole almost right in the middle
This will work there too. Just be sure to thoroughly scuff and clean area before applying glue and patch 👍
Actually no use gorilla glue or hot glue sticks and follow instructions on the other videos that work
Duck tape works well, also…I did it to mine 🙂
Thanks for sharing. As long as it holds air, good to me 👍
Can also use 2 sided tape and use 1 side
If it works and holds air, that's all that matters 👍
I just fixed mine now, thanks for the video
Awesome, you're welcome. Happy I could help 🙌👍
Hi! Thanks for the video!
I currently own a broken air mattress, its corner had been torn, so there’s a more than 10 inches of hole in the air mattress. Apparently I cannot fix it with patches…Is there any possible way that I can fix it? Or I’ll have to throw it away and replace it? Thank you for your time!
Ooo 10 inch hole will be tricky to fix. It's possible with a very large patch, but will be difficult to get to seal I'm thinking. You could try. I would probably just get a new one though or be prepared to at least if doesn't work 👍
@@JonnyDIY Appreciate your reply!
We managed to tape it with a bunch of duct tape but there’s still some air going out :(
We’ll probably just get a new one or keep working on that…
Thanks for the advice!
@@ashleychang5318 you're welcome, good luck 👍
Dude nice bandanna, I know that's not the focus of the video, but I just really like the bandanna.
Thanks! The Dodgers one I got for some kind of in game promotion at a game years ago 😆👍 but it's definitely my favorite one of my collection
Yeah, the plastic wrap might've kept the patch from drying as well. Thx so much for this. I let my dog on mine !!
You're welcome, hope you get it fixed 👍
I have a fairly large hole. Any tips for preventing the patch from being glued to the opposite side of the mattress?
If big, slip a small piece of tape in hole and press outside of mattress against it. If not too big can lightly glue just the punctured area first, wait to dry then large patch over hole 👍
@@JonnyDIY thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.
@@christ9359 You're welcome, happy to help. Hope you can get it fixed 👍
Thank you I found hole in my mattress
You're very welcome, glad I could help you out 🙌👍
Thanks Bro you really helped alot
You're welcome, glad I could help you out 👍
Please what do we do if the leak is from the pump or pump area?
Usually if the leak is from the pump you're out of luck and will need a new one. That or take apart the pump assembly, and try and figure whats leaking
That was Real He Did It again 😂
👍
I think that is the only and the best of the investment ever!!
thanks jonny!
@@fakecandyheart you're very welcome, happy to help 👍
Need to try this. Over the summer three little girls slept on it... that's where I went wrong. That's three little girls seeing something they can bounce on lol. Now my sisters visiting along with my parents so I guess I better patch it for my sister lol
Lol. Good luck, Merry Christmas! 🎄
What if you want the in-laws to leave sooner?
Lol I'll have my cat "accidentally" use the corner of the bed as a scratching post 😸👍
Smh evil as hell are they annoying and dont like you for no reason? If so I understand
Great video. Will this same process work to repair a 4 inch tear? Thx.
Yes, for that big of repair I may do a sandwich patch with one patch on the inside glued and dried then one on the outside. Youll probably have better luck creating a seal that way 👍
@@JonnyDIY a sandwich! Nice
What about patching the top and sides where it’s Fibrous material
@@mikegamez77 sand it as smooth as you can and can do it as I showed or can use a thicker glue like e6000. Ive used that with success as well 👍
@@JonnyDIYwill try that. Thank you!
@@mikegamez77 you're welcome, glad to help 👍
Hi Jonny, It's me again. Just a thought, when I've repaired my Airbed's I've used Gorilla Epoxy Resin and I've used it three times all were successful. I don't use any patches, just put it straight on. Never fails. I also keep the bed at 90% blown up so the glue isn't stretched so much when hard. As you will know it's part resin and part hardener, mix it together and it bonds like magic. It's even made in America.
Also I was wondering re finding the impossible leak: Is there a chance you might check out the pump and whether that could be a source of leakage ? Thanks for your help, Paul
Classic patch kit
I’ve also heard that leaving the weights on it overnight to cure helps too. Not sure if that’s overkill but just something I heard
Yes for sure it'll help, I usually leave for a couple hours at least
Holes usually on bottom edge from the stretcher tacks at the edge of the door that stretch the wall to wall carpeting.
Yes exactly!
How do you fix the edge
I don’t have that glue, just have a patch from the box when I bought my airbed:(
Can try super glue or something like that if you have it. Or go to store and get some glue like this
Can you use cement glue?
Rubber cement, yes. But you want to use the heavy duty one not the one for photographs where you can peel them on and off
Where you get that bandana?
At a Dodgers game years ago, they had a special in game giveaway oddly. Remember having to go down to another level and pick it up in middle of game 😆
Thanks boss
You're welcome, glad to help 👍
Eu também tenho esse mesmo colchão de ar muito bom ele é de ótima qualidade 🔥😎😍🥰 e muito confortável

thanks save me some money I was about to throw mines out
Awesome, you're welcome happy to help 👍
I had the same bed but hole was on top and was 1/4 inch slice
how to you fix a bigger hole on top
You can fix it the same way I show here with bigger patch 👍
@@JonnyDIY i tried and the volor wouldnt holed it.
@@USbachelor sand down surface really well and try again if doesn't work again, try a thicker glue like e6000 with patch 👍
Our high end air mattress deflates hourly so my husband re inflates thru out night. IT SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF OR A ROCKET LAUNCH. hope this works
Hope you two can get it fixed 🙏 that doesn't sound like a good nights rest. Lol they are realllly loud, especially in middle of the night 😄🚀
I like the fact he tried twice
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." 😁👍
Thank You 🙏🏼 !!
You're welcome, glad to help 👍
My deflated while sleeping . I'm wrapped up in it and can't get out.
😄 be careful it'll swallow you
its 10:11pm
im laying on an air mattress that will be partially deflated when i wake up.
i tried to find the hole. unsuccessful.
I 🙏 you can find and fix the leak. Nothing worse than waking up drowning in a soggy air mattress. We've all been there!
What about holes where there is a felt layer?
Sand extra well and will need extra glue. I've used thicker glues like e6000 on felt holes with success before
@@JonnyDIY Thanks!! I'll let you know how it goes!!
@@DebiQ1830 you're welcome, good luck 👍
omg, i came looking on ytb to find out how do you know how much to blow up an air mattress. i hope this isn’t an omen that i need to learn this too even for my new mattress 😬😩
Youll be fine, just be careful of laying it on carpet because sometimes sharp things in it. Check flooring before blowing up. Dont put up against wall with carpet because tack strip can puncture or I lay down thick blanket first 👍 But if you use an air mattress long enough you'll get a hole
Good it's understandable thanks
You're welcome, happy to help 👍
Thanks bro
