Sleeper (SL) seat map

Indian Railways Sleeper coaches use 8-berth bays plus two side berths, making SL the class with the widest choice of lower, middle, upper and side berths. This page maps every SL berth in both LHB and ICF builds so you can pick a window-side side berth or avoid the noisy door-end bays.

  • 80 berths in LHB, 72 berths in ICF
  • 8-berth bays with side lower and side upper berths
  • Non-AC class with the lowest fares
  • Window-side side berths are ideal for long journeys
