VERY slow air mattress leak

I have a VERY slow air mattress leak. Barely there but, after a few hours sleeping on it,it loses 1/2 the air. If just filled and left alone, it takes a day and a half to lose half the air and never loses much more.
Did the soapy water routine with no visible leak.
Any ideas where it could be or is it a lost cause?

Have someone sit on the mattress while your spraying with soapy water - might help.

do you have cats - maybe a claw hole in the mattress?

I did overfill it a lot.
Did it around the valve too. I thought that's where it might be.

Over inflate the mattress, then do the soap/water test.

You soaped up the air valve?

If the air leak is VERY slow, you won't see much bubbling unless you squeeze the mattress.
