>>Tribefolk tend to collect blankets. Even if there's no spare bed, they'll make a nest of blankets, or rack out on the couch.<<
So collect old blankets and designate some of the thick ones as mattresses. Has the added bonus of being easy to pick up for rearranging or using the space for other things.
>>When you're used to a lot of the population being vaguely tipsy or publicly smashed on a regular basis, it kind of stops registering that there are things you shouldn't do then.<<
Any bad thing becoming sufficiently common soon registers as normal. Drugs, bombs, sexual harassment, wayward behavior...and then gets a very underwhelming response.
Reminds me of a story idea I had where two different cultures (one that tends to go heavy on recreational drugs and such, the other with severe generational trauma) manage to deal with each other's weird idyosyncrancies...to the complete befuddlement of the third culture which doesn't have those issues (or possibly a "You think this is /normal/?" if #3 has invented enough psychology to recognize that 'Houston we have /so many/ problems.')
