I really would like to hear from anyone who has devised a way to turn a pillow backed chair into a regular sofa. I like the looks of our sofa, but the pillows and cushions are ridiculous!
The rubber layer that you put under a rug should do the trick.
You can sew a strip of velcro on the back of each cushion and then the other half on the back of the sofa where the pillows rest. But this type of style is a pain IMHO and would never buy again after owning one. I also hate the 3 cushion bottom which also slides out. Next sofa I got sure was different.
I have a resin wicker sectional on my patio. For a sofa configuration (2 corners) I cut mesh rubber rug under-padding into squares the size of the cushion less 1” all around (anything less doesn’t work) and it stopped the cushion from sliding forward. This did not work for configurations without 2 corner pieces like an armless chair, but what did work was those old fashioned ring clips to bind a book of loose paper that have a hinge - they clip together from pressure. You can get very thin ones at the Office supply stores. Puncture the fabric on each side of the corner seam or zipper for a stronger hold and grab as much of the foam as you can. I used another ring through the resin wicker chair back but fabric would work too (leather sofas often have fabric underneath) then clip the two rings together and turn the rings until the closure is inside both the cushion and the sofa. If the cushion still slips around, adjust the rings to grab deeper into the foam of the cushion and the sofa back. This will also make it more secure.
This worked for me 99% of the time. The odd time one ring will unclasp and I just switch out that ring to a new one that has a stronger pressure hold. The rings are cheap and it has not ripped the fabric because It straddles the zipper seam and a good chunk of the foam. When I flip the cushions you may or may not have to adjust the rings so straddle the clips on the cushion first, exactly where the zipper is, don’t leave much ring showing. The fabric on my patio is a polyester, not expensive, so it was worth a try. Im happy not slipping and sliding or constantly repositioning seat cushions and It’s windproof too. 🤩
