A couchette (kuset) is a shelf-like bed in a European-style six-person seating compartment. The six seats can be quickly convert to six couchettes complete with pillow and blanket.

A couchette is not as comfortable or as private as a sleeping-car berth: the six passengers in the compartment may be strangers to one another, but must sleep in close proximity.

But a couchette is more comfortable to sleep in than a standard seat because you can lie down and stretch out.

It's also cheaper than a sleeping car berth, though these days sleeping-car berths on Turkish trains are one of the country's great travel bargains.

Please read this safety notice about sleeping car travel.
