How to Find a Leak in a Softside Water Bed
- 1). Unplug the water bed heater.
- 2). Soak up all water surrounding the mattress.
- 3). Press your thumbs and index fingers together to make a teardrop shape, then push your hands against the mattress corners until you make contact with the frame beneath. Continue along the seams until you see a small bead of water form on the surface of the mattress.
- 4). Cover the mattress with dry sheets or paper towels to further pinpoint the leak. Tuck paper towels around the edges and beneath the mattress edge and wait for a wet mark to appear. Press on the bed to release some water from the leak.
- 5). Circle the hole with a marker.
