English term or phrase: flocked air mattresses
I can't think of the proper way of referring to 'flocked' in Dutch. Basically it is:
A camping air mattress with flocked top so sleeping bags won't slip off!
You can see a picture of one at:

Any help gratefully received!

velours luchtbedden
Explanation:
See reference.

Go to 'Velours Luxe 1' or 'Velours Luxe 2', then go to 'More info' and you'll also find: 'Extra zachte, nylon geflockte velours boven- en zijkant'... but the word 'geflockt(e)' is very unusual.

I was stuck in my search and you sent me in the right direction. I'm going to use 'geflockte' since this is what it is and, although it is not 'proper' Dutch, it is a technique used in many applications. See web site: http://www.zeefdrukkerije.demon.nl/flockdruk.html

Veloursmatrassen


Explanation:
"Naast deze reeks van luchtmatrassen hebt U ook de keuze uit "veloursmatrassen": deze zijn dikker en hebben aan de bovenzijde een velourslaag waardoor deze matrassen zachter en aangenamer zijn om op te slapen. Ook het aanbod in afmetingen is ruimer. Prijzen vanaf € 19,50. (enkel)"

Klik op de link voor een foto. Ga eerst naar snelkeuzemenu > slaapmatten & slaapzakken > slaapmatten en matrassen en dan is het de derde foto.

Succes,

Serge L.

  -> Geen Nederlands of een technische term? Zie bv. ook 83/477/EEG: "Het opspuiten van asbest voor het velouteren van oppervlakken...".
