How to keep couch from moving? Sorry, long description!
In my living room, I have a bow window (kinda like a bay window but not as severe), with a couch in front of it. I also have a curtain rod over the bow window, with grommet panels on each side. On the floor behind the couch, running along the wall is baseboard.
So my problem/question is that I don't like the couch flush again the baseboard because then the curtains get smooshed. I like the couch about 5 inches away from the baseboard, so the curtains can go behind the couch on the ends. Every time someone sits on the couch and gets up, the couch moves back a bit and is up against the baseboard before I know it. I'm tried of pulling the couch back out multiple times a day. Anything I can put behind the couch to keep it from moving against the baseboard? I was thinking a long 2 x 4 piece of wood? It wouldn't be visible since its behind the couch, so it doesn't have to be "pretty" -- just functional. Thoughts?

What about that non-slip mat that goes under rugs? You can cut pieces and put it under the legs of your couch so it doesn't slip?

What about these? These are what I use under my couch to prevent it from sliding on my wood floors.

They sell non slid things you stick to the bottoms of the legs. They work well. I found them at Target or the like

DH and I had a similar issue. We used small pieces of 2x4s behind the legs to keep it from moving.

If the non-skid things don't work, would you consider getting a sofa table that can go between the wall and couch? One with a complete open bottom part.
