My sleeping mat (thermorest neoair) keeps going down. How do i sort it?
-
inflate it and stick it in a bath, then look for any bubbles, there's your puncture O0

I had to do this just the other day, I did exactly what Bricam suggested, be warned though, they are very buoyant! It was an absolute nightmare submerging the damn thing, you have to do a bit at a time, making sure you overlap the submerging.
Good luck and be prepared to get quite wet with all the flapping about, it was like to trying to drown a kangaroo ::)

I'm sure soapy water is an option, use a sponge and wipe the mat with soapy water and look for bubbles.
I have never had to do it, so accept that idea with that caveat!

That's how I find punctures in my bike tyres, should work with a mat, easier than trying to drown it O0

Not as much fun though.

Wipe over with soapy water as suggested. Thats how I repaired one of my mats last year. As a last resort use the bath.
