I have a basement that its almost tall enough to stand up in. It has a
concrete floor that I would like to turn into a kindof "bed" surface
so I can hold meetings in it where everyone sits on the floor. Any
ideas for material to do this with? The room is about 12*18 and I'd
like to do it as cheap as possible.

Thanks for you help

I won't ask what sort of meetings you hold where you you need a room-sized
bed.... ;-)

mattresses. But why not make it a bit deeper? There is a minimal cost way to do it.

Ah. Is there room for the other 12 and the cauldron?

I assume you will need good heating as well :-)

In teh old hippy days I have seen this done with no more than loads of
old carpet, over almost anything. Futons are a good bet.

Mattresses are a pain to walk on, but futins are OK.

Best to build a slatted platform with air circ. underneath to avoid
mould underneath the futons.

Would Rockwool be any good for this?

Old pallets? Would reduce the headroom though.

Ask your local asian community, they have suitable floorings in various
religious buildings, and in Eastleigh were found to be sleeping in
shifts on the whole first floor on one house and all the communicating
roof spaces above the rest of the row (terraced housing).

I grew up in Eastleigh, my home town. Still go there occasionally to
see the outlaws.

I wasn't aware that Eastleigh had any sort of ghetto community.
Without being too specific may I ask which part was found to have this
problem?
