There are three main possibilities for such berths:
1) cryonics: pump you full of antifreeze and freeze you. You're essentially solid.

Yes Larry Niven used Stasis Boxes in several of his "Known Space" stories. As for Star Trek TAS it was used in just one episode, "The Slaver Weapon" which also featured his Kzin.
