At a recent visit to my local Ikea, I noticed that some of the Ektorp furniture had softer, cushier cushions. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, does anyone know how to keep the cushions from migrating forward while sitting, making it necessary to push them back each time you get up? I believe it is because the slipcover's velcro strip does not hold the slipcover in place. I've tried twist pins but I've been only partially successful.

Sorry, we returned our Ektorp loveseat because it just could not take the daily work of being, um, sat upon. I was constantly re-arranging the cushions and it was annoying, but the coup de grace was when my brother sat down on it and broke the frame.

Hrm, we haven't had this problem. I suspect we all sit on our furniture in different ways. I am a monkey, feet curled up all the time. hubby is a feet up on the coffee table kind o' sitter. Neither has caused undue slippage in our experience.

Of course after a few weeks we adjust, because things have shifted or smoooshed. But not every time we get up. I find I have to adjust my Ektorp chairs more often, but again, maybe once or twice a week, not daily. And we spend a LOT of time on our couch and chairs. We eat every evening meal in front of the TV, and are avid movie watchers, so the chairs get a lot of attention, so to speak!

So I can only guess that it is affected by how we sit in our chairs and sofas, and maybe the Ektorp isn't your "perfect sofa solution"? I dunno! I only know we love ours!

Wow, I wish I only had to push my cushions back once or twice a week. Maybe I'm not securing the slipcover properly under the cushions? I must be doing something wrong.
