Multimat airbed

I bought a Multimat airbed in March last year. It lasted less than a month before it started deflating every couple of hours, just one in a series of airbeds from a whole bunch of companies that lasted less than a month. Disgusted, I threw it in my storage locker and forgot about it - until yesterday, when I got a decent leak test on it in a mate’s bath. I found a patch of ragged micro-holes where the edge of the valve unit had sawed through the fabric it’s bonded to. Premature failure of a lightweight product due to flimsy materials and poor design, who’d have thought it? Into the bin with you, you useless fecker! More kipmat content next week…
