That's what I did
Like it a lot. No sliding around.

Exactly

I've got a Ford bed mat. Fits perfectly and things like trash cans etc just dont slide around. I was always against these as in the midwest they would rot out a bed in time (we used to use sections of old mine conveyor belt for bed mats.) It's so dry in the SW and SoCal so this is not a problem. Does not protect the sides of the bed but heavy stuff does not scratch up the floor of the bed. Its so grippy that having moving blankets in the cab is a must.

I have a WeatherTech over the spray in liner. Comes up the side about 3 inches. Works Great

I have the spray in bed liners and the Ford bed mat in all 3 trucks. Wife’s, mine, and old dog F-150. Work great and best decision made.

My truck came with the drop-in bedliner. About 6 months after purchase, I removed it to see if it damaged the bed paint. Sure enough, I had wear-thru in several places. I kept it out and ordered a Lasfit bed mat. The mat protected the bed floor well, but I was careful not to damage the wall and wheelhouse paint.

For more info and pictures, here are two articles I wrote on it.

What's Under The Bedliner

Bedliner Alternative

Following a nightmare experience with a Tundra and a spray-on bed liner outfit (where they sand the bed paint anyway), I went with the Ford drop-in and mat (which I trimmed a little for improved fit). Figured if I kept the truck long enough and wanted to convert to spray-on, whatever sanding and surface rust was created by the drop-in could be resolved with the sanding and scuffing they do at the spray-on bed liner outfit. Could be wrong, but has not recovered from Tundra experience when I bought Baby Raptor.

I want to thank everyone who responded! I'm surprised owners are actually using their beds . I was leaning towards the Ford mat and I'm now going to order one.

Thank you!!!

i have to have a truck at the house. you can't carry a lot of stuff in the back of a wrangler or mazda3. i used to use a small trailer behind my wrangler when we only had wranglers at the house but that gets old, really fast.

i won't be without a truck again. there is just to many times were i was stuck trying to borrow or rent a truck for dumb junk. even back in the 90s in high school and on active duty in the army, a truck was just more useful than a car. and now that trucks only come in 4 door models, there is less reason to have a car (other than a sports car as a fun car)

Bed mat has been great. I've kept several things loose in there and frequently get off the pavement. Holds whatever in place just fine.

Wish I could find a tailgate mat that's worth a damn...
