I have used a number of double size inflating airbeds from argos (the bix box type ones) but they last about 3-5 uses then puncture which leaves you sleeping on the floor (or rethar not sleeping...)
Does the construction of the backpacker feel like it will last and/or take a bit of abuse?

Yes I use it all the time after I got rid of the expensive self inflating type, two of which leaked right away.. The backpacker one I got from Argos is great. I think Millets sells them too. But I'm not certain. Dont inflate them too hard. Thats a common mistake. As they are only £8 why dont you try it? Ive used this for 2 years, camping all the time on long trips up to Tallin, Estonia, down to Portugal , and many many trips to France.
