Fitting new seat pads to an existing RnR bed

I've just had some seat pads made to go on my existing rock n roll bed, but there's no obvious way of securing them to the frame. The manufacturer just said screw them on, but a) the backing is hardboard so screws will not take long to rip out b) the shaper end of the screws will eventually rip through the other side of the foam and make life uncomfortable. Has anyone got any experience of fitting such seats?
Cheers
Ed

Could you glue on some Velcro?

Mine just rest on the plywood board for the seats and the back part is made with "straps" over the top so that it just rests in position over the raised back sections. When its all flat then the they all butt together to make the matteress.

spent days trying to work this one out in various over-complicated ways, never thought of good, old-fashioned, heavy-duty velcro. That's made my day! Thank you

Thaks for the idea, I need them to stay on quite solidly as the dogs sit on the seat while travelling, so velcro is a better solution for me on this occasion.
