The priority of the Vande Bharat sleeper coach will be the comfort of the passenger. The additional cushioning along each side of the berth, and redesigned ladder that provide easy access to the upper and middle berths is that extra touch that every passenger wants while riding the train.

The Vande Bharat sleeper train prototype, currently under construction at BEML is said to feature soothing tones of cream, yellow, and wood as its interior design. The basic blue of Indian Railways is out of fashion for these ultra-modern Vande Bharat rides.
