Hi,

I have an F350 standard bed with a factory spray in liner.

I was looking to put a bed malt in to add some extra protection to the bed and to stop things from sliding around?

Any recommendation on the best bed mat?

Thanks!

 

I love love love my bedrug. I have a toper but they work out in the weather as well. Ive had pigs, chickens, cattle, dozens of cords worth of wood, fencing etc etc in there and it is still in good shape.




The main downside is when its dirty you have to clean out the crack or the tailgate wont close. It vaccumes out nice but i dont bother. Mines been wet severall times but its bot constantly out in the weather so i dont know how it would hold up but they claim it does

 

i always run with a factor OEM rubber bed mat. they fit ice and have a large ford logo on them that i like
i feel a bed mat is a very good addition to a truck as is greatly reduces sliding, scratching and denting even if u have a spray in or drop in liner (unless its on of the drop ins with antiskid built in)

 

I just got whatever they had at the local tractor supply. It's close to a quarter inch thick and it has the nubs on the bottom to create air flow underneath of it. It will out last the truck for sure.

 

Thats exactly what I was thinking.. my truck has a factory installed spray in liner.. the tale gate has the plastic and the bed rails are plastic. Doing a full liner with sides is difficult because I have the integrated Master lock and the integrated bed extender.. which gets in the way of a side liner. So I was thinking about a good matt!

 

I have a DeeZee bought from here - Dee Zee Truck Bed Mat, DeeZee Truck Bed Liner - Videos, Installations & Reviews. It was originally in my '06 short bed but now covers 6'8" of the back of the current 8 foot long bed. I believe it's made from shredded tires and molded to shape. Is it heavy - OMG. It's about all I can do to lift it in place. Also tough as currently it's sitting under my truck as I have the 5th wheel hitch in place, and being driven over daily. This is the third one of this brand, the others being 'forgotten' when selling/trading.

 

Go to Tractor Supply and get a horse stall mat. They are super heavy, durable, and will last.

 

I've got a DeeZee mat I saved from my Dodge in mine. Fits close enough to do what I need it to do. Like Irelandschild, I have taken it out and parked on it numerous times with no issues. I just have it rolled up in front of my 5th wheel for now as it is a handful for one person to deal with.
