lower berth

Train's bottom bed

A lower berth is the bottom sleeping space in accommodations with stacked beds—typically on trains, ships, or in sleeper cabins.

The lower berth is generally more accessible and desirable than the upper berth, commanding higher prices on trains: I paid extra for a lower berth so I wouldn't have to climb a ladder.
