Keeping Couch Cushions From Sliding

August 12, 2013

Stopping My Couch Cushions From SlidingI love this couch and it folds out into a fantastic guest bed. I tried every trick in the book to prevent the couch cushions from slipping; rubber matting, velcro, etc., but nothing worked. This is my solution. It may not look the best but it works perfect.

The two loops of fishing rope are tied to the couch frame under the cushions at the back and keep the curtain pole in place! :) Of course you could use a darker pole and rope to match I just used what i had lying about.

While I'm here, I would just like to add that I machine wash and air dry my leather cushions with no problem.

You could also use shelf liner that is made from rubber, I use it for my mattresses. Also there is a rubberized rug mat that you can use. It is placed under rugs to keep them in place. Just cut the size you need and place it under the cushions.

This is a rubber/non adhesive grip liner. It's found at any hardware store with the contact paper. It worked wonders for our brand new slippery couch cushions.

It won't damage furniture. Just roll it out on the base of sofa and replace cushions. Problem solved. We used 16 inch width.

Non adhesive grip liner.

If possible, try Velcro on the underside of the cushions. You can buy sticky velcro, and it shouldn't show once installed.

There are rubber type shelf liners you can find anywhere from your local dollar store to Target to Home Depot. In the past, I've cut them up and placed them between the couch and couch cushions and wallah, no more problems.

I'd go with the thicker liners over the thinner ones as they hold better. Good luck.

You can put a couple of those square things that people use to remove jar lids under the cushions

Maybe you could put a thin egg crate mattress under the cushions.

You can use drawer/shelf liners (Dollar Tree has them in rolls) and just cut to size and adjust when necessary.

Do you know the rubber carpet pads that they put down under your carpet. I have found this works the best. Especially if you can turn your cushions over.

Place the pad on the couch and cut it to your length. Now place your cushions on top. This should work great for you. I have done it on several couches.

I have a couch and love seat with cushions that slide forward when we sit on them. I've tried bed sheets, foam sheets as well as non slip rubber pantry liners. They all roll up instead of keeping cushions in place.

Stacey, velcro worked for me.... You can buy button sized peel and stick velcro.

After reading the comments from others on the slipping couch cushions. I had some spare rubber place mats that I found to use under the cushions.

Thanks for the information. Hopefully it works..

it's the edges that aid the rubber mat to roll up. If you thread the sides or tape just the edges, like piping, then it doesn't roll up.

I have a sofa and love seat that the cushions slide off of whenever someone sits on it. Then I have to lift the pillowtop back to slide the cushions up under it and back into place.
