When the beds are made in a roomette is there still a chair that you can sit in?
I used to do this a lot. I always referred to it as my "upstairs" bedroom. Great if you wake up in the middle of the night as you can go "downstairs" and sit up watching the scenery in the middle of the night before going back "up" to sleep and it makes it easier to get dressed in the morning.There are some passengers who use only the upper berth, thus leaving the 2 facing seats intact when the bed is made.
This works best on Viewliner Roomettes where Sleeping up top is like having your bedroom in a loft and your living room and bathroom downstairs!( of course the New Viewliner Roomettes wont have toliets)There are some passengers who use only the upper berth, thus leaving the 2 facing seats in tact when the bed is made.
I do like to sit up at night to watch the the stars and the towns passing by. I do this by bringing a pillow case along with me that I can stuff with a sweatshirt and other clothing plus the provided pillow, generally gives me enough support to sit up on the bed.

Because the design of the Roomette precludes sitting up at night I often place my laptop bag, backpack, or roll-a-board against the trailing wall. That arrangement usually lines up well with the upper padding. Amtrak "pillows" are incapable of providing any kind of support but you can use them to soften the texture of your luggage backrest.Thanks for this idea. Like you, I enjoy sitting in the roomette bed watching the nighttime scenery, but the pillows provided as a backrest are lacking in comfort and support being upright.
The reason I rarely do this is because the bright lights and dark tinting leaves little if anything to see from the lounge at night.More comfortable to go to the lounge.
That's why now we often travel in what I call a "roomette suite". Two roomettes across from each other when they are cheaper than a bedroom which is the case most of the time as we haven't found a bedroom cheaper in a few years. You both get to sleep downstairs. You both have private toilets; you can sit together during the day or both have a forward facing seat.Thanks there will be 2 of us so I was just wondering if one could sit up while the other sleeps Guess not. The bedroom was a LOT more than the roomette
