How do I keep my sectional couch from sliding apart?

Question

It is on a hardwood floor. It slides apart about 4 or 5 inches every time anyone sits/lies in the corner. We have tried putting that sticky padding that's sold for keeping rugs down under the feet, but that didn't work.

Answer 1

you dont

Answer 2

Having the same issue. Saw a recommendation for a product sold on Amazon called Sofa Snap. They have a few different options and they look like the most permanent solution I've found. Tried plastic zip ties on the feet and they broke fairly quickly. I may try strong zip ties before going the Sofa Snap route. They've gotten pretty good reviews on Amazon, so that seems the safest route rather than trial and error.

Answer 3

There is this stuff that you can by at the dollar store, it is used as shelf liner, It comes in a roll about 5-6 feet long and it looks like a wafer (with little holes in it) it is kind of rubbery. I use it for everything except shelf liner. It holds my couch cushions in place and my area rugs in place. Give it a try, if it doesn't work all you have waisted is a dollar.

Answer 4

I don't know if it would work, but go to a hardware store or dollar store and pick up a few of the rubber door stopper/wedges. I've used them to keep a trolley from moving around quite as much.

Sadly, they are not a pretty solution. Oh, and see if you can get a lighter colour of rubber, because there's probably a chance that the rubber will mark the floor.

Answer 5

Try using 1-2" velco strips. Much stronger then the sticky pads.

Answer 6

Assuming the sections have some type of feet, try tying them together somehow - perhaps with bungee cords or tie wraps. They wouldn't be so noticable.

Answer 7

sit it on a rug.....
