Good luck, we loved our aerobed but had the same priblem but just couldn't find the leak which is why we now have an outwell posadas campbed, it's a shame some people seem to have no problems but plenty of people seem to have aerobeds that leak air

A puncture repair kit for a bike worked for friends but it was finding the leak that was the problem Suggest you wait till its dark then inflate switch lights out and shine a torch (covering the light) through the inflation hole You can then look for the light

I loved my Intex Queen airbed and found that on the first inflation of the season ( it was up all season in the awning) it would slowly deflate. We found that cleaning the valve with a lint free cloth cured everything. All I could put it down to was a speck of dust on the valve.
I did have a puncture once and I used a strong soap solution and a paint brush to find the leak, not easy but it worked.

I went through several leaking airbeds before finally deciding on a campbed. I am convinced it was the valves that were at fault. I can't think why they should all be faulty although if they rely on the pressure of air inside the bed to seal the rubber flap over the valve, and the cold air at night reduces the pressure inside the bed, then that may cause the valve to leak...but then I am no scientist - lol.

Our Dual Aero bed deflated after 19 nights use but had over the years guarantee, which is a shame as you might only camp once a year so it is out of date the next time you might camp.

Complained to Go Outdoors online got nowhere so I took it into a new shop which had just opened near us and I was refunded immediately.

best bed I have ever slept on we used it with a posadas pop up camp bed, now have reverted to two single airbeds on top of camp bed, gives a good height and you can store stuff underneath, and I can't feel OH get up for his nighttime visits to loo.

It's possible that it could be the valve at fault. If so replacement valves can be purchased from Aerobed directly and are not expensive.

We were hopeful and tried one with ours and sadly it still leaked, sad as they are so comfy

I have recently had a slowly deflating aerobed fix. First of all I bought a replacement valve for £3ish - didn't work but it was worth a shot and it was pretty easy to change. Next, and feeling determined when I looked up how much I was going to have to pay out for a new one, I got a washing up bowl of soapy water and a big paintbrush and mentally divided the bed up into sections. Starting with the valve and the edges and the seams I worked my way round looking for bubbles and feeling for draughts. Nothing. Then I flipped it upside down and did the same thing for what is usually the bottom of the bed. Nothing. Husband is laughing at me by now. Flipped it over did the same thing with 3 of the 4 sections. Nothing. Husband really having a giggle at my expense now. Last section, first paintbrush BUBBLES! I was so pleased with myself. Anyway the hole was invisible to the naked eye. When you knew where it was you could very faintly feel a light breath of cool air coming from the site. I dried off the bed and drew round the "invisible hole" with a sharpie pen and waited for it to properly dry. Generous patch of tenacious tape and it's back to aerobed heaven for us and we keep the cash!
Have a go! Hope this helps.
Linny
