The air mattress on which

The air mattress on which we’re sleeping has a firm warning on the side, in all the languages of the EU (English, french, russian, pashtun and urdu): “CAUTION: Use with the flocked (floque, beflockte, floccata, geflockte, flocada) side up after inflating.” So I’m wondering, who gives a damn?  Why should one side be cautionary and one be recommended?  WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I SLEEP WITH MY FLOCKING DOWN?  Watch this space for updates… assuming survival…
