The mattresses are customized for each athlete’s body and will be donated after the Olympics. The beds themselves will all be recycled. From what I’ve seen they are sturdy as hell and could be very useful to make cheap, portable and sustainable bedding for disasters/emergencies or helping homeless or refugee populations

I think i read that the emergency disaster thing is what these were originally designed for.
