How Can We Repair An Inflatable Mat?

September 21, 2023

Inflatable mats have become more popular in our daily life. When we want to do exercise, we will use a gymnastics air track. When we want to go camp, we will pick up a self-inflating camping mat. When we start long-distance travel, we will put a car air mattress in our car. Inflatable mats are widely used now, but if our Inflatable mat is damaged, how can we repair it?

Please don’t worry, we will tell you the methods in this blog. Whatever it's a cheer air track, backseat car mattress, or inflatable sleeping mat, the repair method is the same.


In the first case, if your inflatable mat has a small needle eye, it is very easy to fix it.

1. Open the vent valve, let the air out first, and then close the vent valve. It will reduce gas flow.

2. Take out the glue from your repair kit, and put some glue on the needle eye.

3. If the needle eye is a little big, please use a toothpick dips the glue, and daub the glue on the inside. Then repeat step two till the needle eye is repaired.

4. Please wait for 4 hours, and then you can inflate it.

In the second case, how to repair cuts and place burned?

1. Open the vent valve, let the air out first, and then close the vent valve. It will reduce gas flow.

2. Find the patch material in your repair kit, and cut off a patch that should be big than the broken hole.

3. Put some glue on the broken hole, and force up the patch. Please glue the edge of the patch with glue.

4. Make sure there are no gaps on the surface, and then pressure it with a slippy and heavy object.

5. Please wait for 8 hours, and then you can inflate it.


In the third case, how to repair the suede surface?

1. Clean the patch area carefully.

2. After drying, cut off a patch that should be big than the broken hole.

3. Coat a layer of glue on the patch and repair area. Please glue the edge of the patch with glue, and make sure there is no gap on the surface.

4. Pressure the patch area with a slippy and heavy object for 24 hours.

5. After 24 hours, you can inflate it. The repair is complete.

Tips:

A. Please don’t inflate the air track too full (especially in summer). Don’t do strenuous exercise on the inflatable air track. Otherwise, the drawstring will overload and rupture.

B. The glue for repair is chemicals, please don’t eat or touch your eyes, and keep out the reach of children.
