something to keep my sofa cushions from falling off

pinkpie

My sofa is great but the big seat cushions you sit on constantly ride forwards and often end up falling off.

Someone told me you can get some sort of velcro to hold them on -does anyone know where?

Or any other solutions to the problem?

its often called hook and loop. you should be able to buy buy a pack from either your local stationary shop, or maybe even a haberdashery.

i know scotch make some (the people who make sellotape) and im pretty certain that the pritt (as in pritt stick) company also make it

You can also get proper stuff for stopping cushions sliding - it's the same as you get in Asda & car shops for putting on tables & other surfaces to stop things moving. It's a rubber mesh-type stuff you put under cushion & it does work. Can't remember where we got ours from but if I do, shall post back.

thanks for the suggestions - I shall look into them and look forward to not sliding onto the floor!

Thanks also, I think they call it 'to submarine' in the furnishing trade!

Similar stuff in Poundland/99p shop yesterday. Think it was called anti-slip mat. Not very large, but would think it would be the right size for a sofa cushion.

B&Q do smashing big rolls of the mesh grippy stuff, it is fab, we use it under the micro, chopping board and loads of other places.Good thing about buying it in a roll is it can be cut to whatever size you need.
