Truck Bed Mats With Carpet

Truck bed mats made of rubber are hard to beat for hard use. However sometimes the cargo can be better protected with a different material. For a softer touch, carpet mats do the job.

Like rubber bed mats, the simplest carpet mats are as easy to use as could be. Just roll the mat into the bed and go. That's for mats that cover just the floor of the bed. And in addition, carpet floor mats often are made for using both sides. Carpet on one side and rubber on the other makes for a mat that fits most uses.

However, for full bed protection, carpet liners that custom fit the whole bed make sense too. BedRug does just that with a liner custom made to cover all the bed.

These really work well under tonneau cover and under truck bed caps. Not that carpet mats can't stand hard use and sever weather, they can. But it certainly works well to have padded carpet under cover. Plus, it's easier to keep other types of mats and liners clean if you anticipate really nasty cargo.
