Go to the hardware store, Home Depot or something of that nature and get the interlocking heavy foam tiles and put the beds on top of them. We do that in our basement because we only have a thin rug down. The crates rest on the tiles instead of the floor. They aren't that expensive and you can undo them for easy storage/transport. It will keep the coldness from getting to the bottom of the bed.
I'm thinking along that line, too - one of my favorite cushiony-and-cheap things is yoga mat. It's closed-cell foam, so it doesn't absorb water (I use smaller pieces as kayak seat padding) - and it's easily cut to any size or shape with kitchen shears. A 2' x 6' yoga mat can be bought for $25 or so... here's one for less than $20:
