Re# 454859-4                  
slightly less broader than the bay berths, its not cramped either. you have privacy curtains and light to read. better than 3a SU. I have travelled in SU and except for the breadth, no other difference noted.

Very much comfortable.
if you are travelling for the first time in ICF coaches, then you can know the difference from LHB.
But, IR has run/running ICF coaches since not less than 60 yrs.
They are indeed comfortable.

Re# 454859-8                  
Thanks a lot for your reply. In fact this is the first time I'm going to travel lying in or sitting on a side upper berth and hence follows the question. Thanks once again.

In one line, SU berths are far comfortable than any berths.
Nobody bothers the passengers.( leaving the GR SUB).

Re# 454859-11                  
Thanks a lot for your informative and comforting reply. As a result I will be able to climb into the side upper berth assured of the fact that I will be having a good time lying or reclining in that side upper berth.
