How to Repair Cots and Air Mattresses
(Fix Tears, Holes, and Leaks Fast)
Damage to a cot or air mattress does not mean it needs to be replaced. Tear-Aid® repair patches provide a fast, waterproof and airtight solution for fixing tears, holes, and leaks, helping you restore comfort and usability in minutes. Whether you are repairing a fabric cot or a vinyl air mattress, Tear-Aid creates a strong, flexible bond with no sewing, no messy glue, and no downtime.
Repairing Fabric Cots and Vinyl Air Mattresses
Repairing Fabric Cots and Vinyl Air Mattresses
Cots and air mattresses are made from different materials, so choosing the correct repair type is important for a long lasting fix. Fabric cots are typically made from canvas, nylon, or woven materials that require a flexible repair solution. Tear-Aid Type A is designed for these fabrics, providing instant adhesion while remaining soft and durable without damaging the material. Air mattresses are commonly made from vinyl or PVC, which require a different approach. Tear-Aid Type B is specifically engineered for vinyl surfaces and includes a unique inhibitor that blocks the oils found in vinyl. These oils can cause standard adhesives to fail, but Type B allows the patch to bond securely and cure into a strong and permanent repair.
Common Cot and Air Mattress Damage You Can Repair
Cots and air mattresses are frequently exposed to wear, pressure, and environmental conditions that can lead to damage. Tear-Aid is designed to repair common issues such as small punctures that cause slow leaks, holes from sharp objects or rough surfaces, tears from stress or overloading, and worn areas that begin to weaken over time. The patch is transparent and low profile, allowing it to blend into most materials while restoring strength and maintaining comfort.
How to Repair a Cot or Air Mattress
Repairing your cot or air mattress with Tear-Aid is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Step 1

Step 2
Cut a patch that extends at least one inch beyond the damage and round the corners to prevent lifting.
Step 3
Peel off the backing and apply the patch over the hole or tear.
Step 4
Press firmly to remove any air bubbles and ensure a secure, airtight bond.

Better Than Traditional Repairs
Traditional repair methods often fall short when it comes to durability and ease of use. Sewing can damage fabric and create weak points.
