Where buy Patch for Air Matress? — Brooklynian

Where buy Patch for Air Matress?

Friend in town put a little hole in ours. I've tried the hardware store on 7th and 18th, the bike shop, and the larger grocery store on 7th and like 10th.

Any ideas?

    Lowes? I just lent mine out and heard that it didn't stay inflated, so I am guessing that mine might have one too.

    Let me know if you find one...there's always the interwebs....

    What is this interweb you speak of?! Is that what Al Gore created?!

    As an aside, I'm entirely disappointed that duct tape didn't work.

    I would imagine a bike tube repair kit would do the trick.

    maybe a little Duco cement...

    I had a patch kit that came with mine, but i have no idea where it went. Can you search by mfg?

    Try a vinyl repair kit from a sporting goods store (used to patch rafts and other inflatables).

    this is what we used on ours. much better than duct tape. came with a patch and some special glue. we got it at a good hardware store (in chicago).

    Alternatively, order a patch kit online from any waterbed mattress retailer.

    Whatever you do, don't try a tire repair kit for bikes. Bike tires are rubber, a fact which I knew but somehow became oblivious to, so the kits don't do jack on vinyl.

    Aerobed will send you a new kit for something like $4. Plus $39.99 in shipping, of course. I'm only exaggerating slightly.

    I recommend getting "Tear-Aid" for Type B objects. I had a hole in my air mattress and the patch kit that came with it didn't fix it. This Tear-Aid thing did. I had to order it online but it saved an expensive Aerobed from the garbage bin.

    Mpmav, please explain how exactly your houseguest made this hole?

    Haha. Scarlett, I'm shocked it took this long for this question to come about.

    Unfortunately it is nothing exciting. We have old wood floors, and when picking up the mattress (rather than deflating/inflating every night, we just lay it on its side all day), the floor caught it and pop... little hole.

    Turtle... thanks for the info. I think I'll order one of those.
