Well, not exactly true. Many many years ago, there were at least a couple of amfleet coaches with two bedrooms in one end (and sold as revenue space) - a sort of test run for what was to become the Superliner economy bedroom/roomette. It was kind of fun to get a 'sneak preview' of things to come.
They were on the Cincinnati-Washington route (via Cumberland, MD) that no longer exists. I'm sure the coaches were ultimately converted back to a regular configuration.
In terms of roomette/bedroom (and coach/bedroom): for single level service, probably not worth the upgrade to bedroom as the Viewliner roomette is quite nice and feels roomy enough with the high ceiling. for bi-level trains, the in-room restrooms and sink and overall space makes a bedroom tempting.
would not take a coach overnight on a single level train if at all possible - that really is a grim experience. for bi-level routes, I coach can work, but probably difficult for more than a night. whether the train is crowded - and thus if you don't have to share the other seat with a stranger - is another big consideration here.
