I was on the team that performed systems integration and flight testing for the Airfone system on UA's 747-400, and they had a small room with a couple of bunks and a lav behind the pilots, inside the cockpit, for relief crew on long overseas legs. I'm sure A/C size makes a difference, and they probably ditched that to put more paying seats upstairs. This was pre 9/11, anyway.
