(Kinda O/T) I amused my girlfriend the other day by taking a permanent marker to our mattress. On one side, I wrote "top to bottom" in the top-left and bottom-right corners, facing the edges. On the other side, I wrote "side to side".
Each time you flip, you just look at the bottom corner and it tells you what to do next.
That'd work, the only catch being that when you see 1 you need to know where 2 is, and it's on the other side of the mattress (I have a latex mattress, it weighs about 30kg so it's a pain to turn over, even to look. Turning it twice because you got it wrong with the first movement is a big cost.)
You don't actually need to remember which instruction to read, cos they're the same on the each side of the mattress. I could have just written "side to side" on one side and "top to bottom" on the other side, it'd just sometimes be upside down.

That's quite an amusing extrapolation.

Why not label the configurations 1, 2, 3 and 4? Less writing and you don't need to remember which instruction to read.
