Carpet Bedliners
A carpet or bed rug liner is essentially a carpet-like material over the top of foam. These types of bed liners can come as just a bed mat or coupled with sidewall rugs.
Benefits of a Carpet Bedliner
One of the main benefits of a carpet bedliner is that the material is soft and easy on knees. Additionally, carpet bedliners are custom fit, making them easy to install yourself and remove to transfer. Unlike spray-in bedliners, there are no chemicals and it doesn’t damage paint. The carpet also helps prevent some load movement, preventing some dings.
Problems with Carpet Bedliners
One of the major problems with carpet bedliners is cleaning. The carpet can stain, so they must be power washed. Another problem with carpet bedliners is that while they are custom made to fit trucks, the tie downs must be cut out of the carpet to install them. Additionally, the protection is not as good as some other bedliners. Some carpet bedliners have sidewall rugs that help prevent some dents, but damage can still occur. Finally, some cargo can snag and ruin the bedliner.
