sleeping berth

Overnight travel bed

A sleeping berth is a bed or bunk built into a vehicle or vessel—typically a train, ship, or long-haul truck.

Berths are usually narrow and fold down from a wall or stack in tiers: She booked a first-class sleeping berth on the overnight train.

The term distinguishes spaces designed for sleeping from ordinary seating.
