Seats & Berths

Seats and berths are the primary seating and sleeping furnishings in a train. Seats consist of cushioned pads on a metal frame, while berths (in sleeper cars) are foldable bunk beds. The structural components (seat shells, berth frames) often use FRP composites and steel/aluminum for a balance of comfort and lightness. Upholstery is flame-retardant fabric or leather, meeting all passenger safety standards.
