If you do decide to go with a slipcover, be sure to get a fitted one, not a 'throw' because the ones you just throw over do not stay put at all. I use the fitted ones in my informal family room and I do find myself fixing them constantly because my kids manage to pull them off. I have heard that stuffing a few rolled up magazines down around the cushions helps keep it in place, but again, I haven't gotten around to trying it.
Good luck!
