Tab 400 Bed Cushion Orientation

I took delivery of my Tab 400 Boondock 2 weeks ago.   After delivery I noticed that the unsymmetrical bed cushion on the passenger side would fit only with the tag-side up.  NuCamp says that they intended for all three cushions to be used tag-side up.  Does this make sense?   Seems more likely it was a fabrication mistake.

Thoughts?  Is there a way I could reverse the covering?

it makes a difference to me as I intend to use a sleeping bag (or RvSack) rather than conventional bed linens so the cushions will be visible.

    We also use sleeping bags but put a queen sized fitted sheet over the cushions. A full size fitted sheet may work as well. It is easy to toss the fitted sheet into the wash every couple of trips and keeps the cushions clean.

    The brown quilted side goes up. It's not a fabrication mistake.

    It’s not the tag. It just seems like the brown designer material cover on the side of the cushion should be the same as the top.   In my trailer, the brown material is down so that the side of the cushion is not the same as the top of the cushion.

    NuCamp is telling me that all three cushions should be like the upper one in the photo.  Seems like the upside should be the same as the dinette   Rather they say the cushion in the lower part of the picture should be flipped over.

    The top of the bed cushions is a quilted softer surface, designed for sleeping on, a built in mattress pad of sorts, and more comfortable to sleep on.  It also helps them to dry them back out after sleeping on them.  A sheet would be slightly lifted up the the quilted surface allowing for better air circulation...

    It makes sense to me!  The more durable side is face down against the Froli system.  The softer side is face up and this soft material will be less abrasive on your sheets.
