Many truck owners opt for a truck bed mat. These mats are typically large, thick pieces of rubber that you can simply drop onto the floor of your truck. They are popular because of how easy they are to install—there’s no plastic liner to deal with, and unlike spray-in liners, you don’t need to remove any paint from your truck bed.
Once installed, these mats provide a non-slip surface to keep cargo from shifting. The rubber cushioning offers significant protection, preventing dents and dampening noise and vibrations.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Truck Bed Mats
One of the biggest advantages of truck bed mats is their easy removal. You can quickly take the mat out of your truck, hose it down to remove dirt and mud, or set it aside when installing a fifth-wheel hitch.
However, truck bed mats have their limitations: their protection is partial. They don’t shield other parts of your truck bed, such as the sidewalls, front wall, or tailgate. For instance, if you’re hauling something like gravel, a mat might protect the floor, but it won’t prevent dents in your sidewalls.

Sidewalls are a critical part of your truck bed, preventing cargo from falling out. So, why choose a product that only protects a portion of your truck bed when you could protect the entire thing?
Complete Truck Bed Protection
Fortunately, you don’t have to settle for minimal protection. You can enjoy the benefits of both bed mats and full bed liners without the drawbacks.
The DualLiner component bed liner system offers a ZeroSkid rubber bed mat—but this isn’t just any mat. The ZeroSkid mat features hundreds of soft rubber cleats underneath. These cleats raise the mat slightly, allowing airflow, improving drainage, and preventing scuffing, which gives you more protection than a standard rubber mat.
What sets the DualLiner apart is that it’s more than just a mat. The system also includes custom-fit sidewalls made from thick, UV-resistant materials that absorb impacts and protect against damage from loose cargo.
The DualLiner bed liner offers complete protection for your truck bed.
The custom design ensures that the sidewalls stay firmly in place and won’t shift after installation.
The sidewalls and the ZeroSkid mat interlock to create a tight, custom fit for maximum protection. You can even remove the ZeroSkid mat as easily as you would any other truck bed mat.
While a basic truck bed mat can prevent cargo from sliding, it won’t protect your sidewalls. DualLiner is the only liner system that provides full protection for your entire truck bed, thanks to its custom-fit sidewalls and removable ZeroSkid mat.
Every DualLiner is made in the U.S.A. and comes with a real lifetime warranty, with no exclusions. No competitor offers this level of protection. Find the DualLiner that fits your truck and choose the best truck bed liner that truly works!
