Heavy duty airbed (or good alternative)

Hi, currently using an airbed so I can sometimes sleep in the same room as our son, it was fine but it’s developed a puncture and I haven’t had much luck in fixing it
I’m after either a heavy duty alternative that’s hopefully less likely to break, or maybe an alternative - although the fact an airbed rolls up so small is definitely appealing.
Any suggestions would be very welcome please, thanks!

Something like this https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4523040?clickPR=plp:20:38 perhaps?1

Cheap airbeds always fail, usually along a seam. A more expensive camping sleeping mat may be more robust.
If the room is large enough a single futon may be a good alternative. We had a double in a spare room and it was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on.

You could consider a garden lounger or folding bed, different qualities at various prices or a chair or ottoman bed if you have the space to use again in the future.1

The Japanese style roll-up mattresses might be worth a look, too
Also these popped up on hotukdeals

Thank you all so much guys, the stacking beds would’ve been absolutely ideal - wish I’d known about that before we spent £500+ on their current beds!
Have seen some really nice chair beds but not sure there’s enough room unfortunately - need something we can fold away. Going to look at futons now
Also considering a single mattress topper because my son will need one soon anyway. Thanks again! 0
