That's good for the top of it, what about the bottom, on the cement? If someone spills water, or mops the floor, it will get damaged very easily. Silly idea IM

Silly idea IMO - metal framed beds are extremely durable.

Also, there are many local shops who already have the tools to mass-produce cardboard boxes with arbitrary shapes; the same cannot be said of cots. And as the article explicitly states, these are intended for the first responders, not for long-term infirmary. They don't need to last more than a few days.
