As long as you have a suitable firm flat surface — wood floor, tatami, platform, or slatted base — and a matching size, it works. For daily overnight sleep choose HIMARI or SORA. Being foldable, it frees the room for work, guests, or living during the day and is easier to move when renting.
For buyers researching shikibuton, shikifuton or a Japanese floor mattress, the key point is how this bedding is used: on a firm, ventilated surface, folded away when needed, and cared for as part of everyday Japanese living.
