The president of American Airlines talked Douglas into building the DC-3 because the DC-2 was too narrow to have berths on both sides. He promised to buy 20 planes. That's why the sleepers were built before the regular DC-3s and why the DC-3s were created in the first place. I'll bet the private cabin for two was really expensive, probably reserved for celebrities...
or honeymooners.
