contents Multimagnon bound states were predicted nearly a century ago and have since been a key topic in condensed matter physics due to their intriguing quantum properties. However, their realization in natural materials remains elusive, especially in low-dimensional quantum magnets, where stabilizing them is particularly challenging due to the traditionally required extreme external magnetic fields. Therefore, we introduce a novel mechanism that enables the stabilization of multimagnon bound states in quasi-one-dimensional edge-shared cuprates. Our theoretical framework, supported by numerical simulations and experimental data, demonstrates that small antiferromagnetic interchain couplings act as effective internal magnetic fields, promoting a collinear antiferromagnetic order and enabling magnon condensation even at zero external field. This intrinsic stabilisation mechanism eliminates the need for high external fields, offering a platform that is more accessible for experimental realization. We validate this concept by applying it to representative materials such as Li$_2$CuO$_2$, Ca$_2$Y$_2$Cu$5$O$_{10}$, LiCuSbO$_4$, and PbCuSO$_4$(OH)$_2$. Beyond its experimental feasibility, this mechanism could drive advancements in magnon-based quantum computing, low-power spintronic devices, and high-speed magnonic circuits. Moreover, our findings reveal that small interchain and/or interlayer couplings can generally unlock previously overlooked magnetic phenomena, redefining the nature of magnetically ordered states and expanding the frontiers of quantum magnetism.
