I've had a terrible time with therm-a-rest pads. I can't seem to keep them inflated after a couple camp outs. I haven't tried the repair kit. I'll give it a shot, but I think the leak may be at the valve? I've held it underwater and haven't seen air coming from a hole. I hope others are having better luck with this than I am.

If you blow it up and try to sleep in a cold environment, it will collapse quite a bit. The warm air from your lungs will shrink when it cools. Don't know if this was your problem but could be.
