couchette

Sleeper car bunk

A couchette is a sleeping berth on a train, typically a narrow fold-down bed in a shared compartment.

Unlike private sleeper cabins, couchettes are budget accommodations where passengers sleep in bunks—usually four or six to a compartment—without much privacy: We booked couchettes on the overnight train to Vienna.
