How to Remove Air Bubbles in an Air Bed

Small holes in your air mattress could be causing air bubbles. Air bubbles are uncomfortable to sleep on, and the air bed may make funny popping noises when you move while sitting or lying on it. If you don't try to get rid of the air bubbles, you run the risk of popping your air mattress. Remove air bubbles as soon as you notice them. Depending on where the air bubbles are in the mattress, you may need someone to help you get rid of the bubbles.
