I swapped the pins for industrial Velcro.  Works great!
Due to the arrangement of my room, I favor one side of the leather couch.  This is protecting the head part which is showing wear on that side.  I decided to swap out the pins they include for some black industrial Velcro I had in the garage, and slipped that along a seem on the back to keep it in place .  The color also matches the couch well enough and it frames well enough that a causal observer wouldn't even notice it doesn't match the other side of the couch.  I'll probably get another one for there eventually if I re-arrange the room, or just to keep them synched up.
