Is this decent for Japanese type of sleeping where you fold it in daytime and use it to sleep nightly?

That is exactly how I use it in my tiny trailer. Fold out to sleep, fold in to sit on and have more floor space.

Yes, very comfortable if you like firm as we do. We have a select comfort bed and when we camp with the shikibuton we sleep just as good.

If you have a large trunk or Mini Van it may be ok. It does not "roll" up. Other than that it's not bad to sleep on.

I bought this for a camp bed and it is satisfactory for that. I bought a 3 inch memory foam topper for it which improved the comfort. For myself, I don't think that it would be satisfactory for sleeping on every night year round. I needed a mattress that I could fold up to store, so this fit the bill. I have a friend who bought a LUCID by LinenSpa 10" Firm Memory Foam Mattress 25-Year Warranty ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00478U768/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and he loves it. He says that it doesn't heat up and he has been sleeping on it for 3 years now (2 people). I didn't get this because of the storage issue and that it would spend the winter in an unheated space...hope that this helps.

I've been sleeping on this shikibuton for about a year. So far, it has proven durable. It is just as supportive as day one. Being foam, it isn't necessarily breathable. However, neither me or my husband (who is always warm) have found it hot to sleep on. The only downside to the shikibuton is it is difficult to find sheets and mattress pads to protect it.

It is, but it's not my favorite. I've gotten used to it for napping, but it's actually a pretty rough material. I'd suggest a different one.

I use it on the night stand when I sleep.It is louder than my CPAP machine, but not bothersome. I usually use it on low or med and find it makes for nice sleeping.

Yes, its basically a futon for american frames. Mine is a serta. This isnt really japanese at all anyways.

I would not recommend it. It is made to be durable and isn't what I would want to sleep in.

No it's a pice of crap don't waste your money of you use it daily, might be ok if you are packing light.

It is much better than I thought. I would not recommend as a permanent solution but is ok to sleep a few nights.

We use it under sleeping bags during sleepovers, but I wouldn't sleep on it every night.

Yes it is! It serves nicely as a place to sleep when you need extra space for a household. I bought it to use like a daybed.

Not too bad. I have slept on a memory foam that is a lot warmer to sleep on.

I used mine to sleep when I had a terrible hotel bed. It helped me get to sleep, but I move around too much when I sleep and found it got in the way. But if you sleep in one position, then you might like it.

I leave it in place and don't "tear down" every morning. It doesn't fold either. An elastic band stretches from the base thought the tubing up to the loop that holds the CPAP tubing. The pieces pull out from one another allowing you to fold side by side for easier storage or travel. Sturdy? Not really. It's thin tubing maybe aluminum but my first one lasted a couple years before breaking at the base. For the price, it's worth the comfort it provides stopping the CPAP tubing from wrapping around my throat when I rollover at night.
