Deluxe Soft Sleeper
The ticket price of a deluxe soft sleeper is about twice of that of a soft sleeper. Consequently, the luxury soft sleeper bed is bigger and provides room for unencumbered sleep. The deluxe soft sleeper bed is 85cm (34 in) in width, 200cm (79 in) in length. The distance between lower and upper bed is 95 cm (37 in) and the upper bed is about 80 cm (32 in) from the roof, allowing both passengers to sit up straight. The clean beddings, including mattress, quilt, and pillow are offered on each bed.
Besides, other facilities include: a table in the middle of the compartment, electric kettle, newspapers, dustbin, disposable slippers, adjustable reading lights, TVs, control buttons for broadcasting and air-conditioner are also available in deluxe soft sleeper compartments. Sockets are also provided in each compartment for passengers to use their laptops, cell phones, and tablets, etc.

Beds inside deluxe soft sleeper carriage are all numbered. The beds numbers are shown on the door of each compartment. Usually, the even number is used for lower berth and the odd number is for upper berth. In some deluxe soft sleeper carriages, four-berth soft sleeper compartments may be available at each end. In this case, no. 1-4 and No. 21-24 are soft sleeper berths; and No. 5-20 are all luxury soft sleeper berths.
Note: The luxury soft sleepers inside international trains between China and other countries may be different.

Tips
1. When buying tickets, you can ask the ticket seller to arrange an all-female or all-male compartment for you if you feel uncomfortable to share a compartment with passengers of the opposite sex. But if you cannot get what you want at the ticket windows, you can ask the conductor to arrange that for you after getting onboard. You can also ask the railway staff to arrange your companion and you in one compartment if needs be.
2. Deluxe soft sleeper provides more privacy and a quieter environment, so it is highly recommended if you want to have a sound sleep.
3. If you are a light sleeper, you can make use of the eyeshade or earplug provided.
4. Always take valuables with you, unless you have a trusted companion to keep them for you when you are away from the compartment.
5. Tap water should not be drunk directly. Hot drinking water is provided at both ends of the carriage.

We plan to travel from Shanghai to Zhangjiajae with family - Husband /Wife and one kid (4 years) in soft sleeper beds. Are we allowed to carry our own food / milk / Bread /Buns etc. or in train, we have a pantry / food service. If yes, do they provide western menu or only Chinese menu. Can we book our food menu in advance along with ticket and do we have food hawkers on train platform selling food stuff also like in India? For dinner / breakfast, can we get on train?
Are there vendor machines in train for water / coke / biscuits etc? also, in night, what is security measures in train for passengers luggage. Do we have any attendant in every coach or passengers are on their own. We ask this as, one berth will remain vacant (we are total 03) so, we cannot lock the compartment. So, please advise if there is enough space below berths to keep our bag and stuff.



There is no particular measures for security of luggage at night time except that train staff occasionally passby. So it is important to keep your valuable belongings with you at night time, normal luggage is just fine on racks. I did not quite get you by the one empty bed, but space under beds can be used for storage and safe in my mind.




However, we are sorry that there is no such list offered by railway company. It can only be known by searching detailed route. For some popular routes, for example, Beijing/xian, Shanghai/Xi'an, Shanghhai/Beijing and some sleeper rides runs between Beijing/Shanghai and Guangzhou/Shenzhen.
