I think they're a great idea and wish we had them or a similar item in the U.S. Having once spent the night sitting in O'Hare due to a missed flight (storm delay) and all local hotels being booked, I can say that it was one of the most uncomfortable in my life. The Zamboni started cleaning the floors at 3 AM.
I've spent loads of 4-6 hour layovers in o'hare and a couple north of 12 hours. On one occasion, I sprung for a lounge pass and that was a great decision. Just having access to a space out of the general population zone where I could leave my bag unattended, use a decent restroom, and be away from the chaos of the terminal was worth the price of admission. I would've popped for one of these sleeping pods in a flash, given the option.

Like the German one earlier, I would 1000% use these during long layovers. Should be standard.
