Default Leak In Airbed

Anyone have any easy tricks for finding a leak in an airbed? I've tried spraying with soap and water and still nothing.

Have someone lay on the bed and watch it lose its air while going around it like you would with a fine tooth comb? Then find it and patch it with a quick repair kit or use some good ole fashion duct tape?

Inflate and submerse. You will find the leak right away.

I wish I could remember the trick. Someone shown me how to do it by putting about a cup of water, and I think mixed with soap, inside the airbed. Then they found the leak that way. It was pretty neat how they did it.

Stand up your inflated mattress in the shower and spray it. turn off the water and look carefully for bubbles.
