If you have a chair or couch with cushions that perpetually slide off, lay non-slip drawer liner—intended for padding and stabilizing kitchen implements and glassware—beneath them to keep everything in place.

Lifehacker reader cramill shares this simple tip to keep your cushions from sliding out from under you:
Do you have couch cushions that keep sliding out of place? Try putting a sheet of non-slip drawer/shelf liner under the cushions to keep them from sliding out of place. It works like a charm!
Alternately, if you have a lot of cushions to keep in place or a large couch, you could buy a rug pad. Rug pads are essentially the same non-slip material as drawer liners but sized appropriately for a large area rug.
Have a tip or trick to help your fellow readers deal with household annoyances like slippery cushions, squeaky doors, or the like? Let's hear about it in the comments. Thanks cramill!
