Enthuze Truck Bed Mats

Friday, October 6, 2023

When you buy a truck, one of the first things you're likely to consider is how you can properly protect your truck bed. The purpose of a truck bed is obviously to haul stuff, but that stuff, whether it's dirt, gravel, lumber, or anything else, can quickly scratch and scuff the paint in your bed.

Once the protective layer of paint is removed, corrosion often follows. Most truck owners immediately think of bed liners when it comes to protecting their truck bed, but a cheaper and quicker solution is a bed mat.

Bed mats provide a quick and easy protective covering for your truck bed. Truck bed mats designed for a custom fit like the ones made by Enthuze ensure that you get full coverage without having to trim. The nice thing about bed mats is that they can easily be removed for cleaning or if you decide you want something different.

What Is a Truck Bed Mat?

A rubber truck bed mat is pretty much exactly what it sounds like--a mat to protect the interior of your truck bed. You can place a bed mat on a bare truck bed, or you can place it on top of a bed liner for additional protection. This extra layer of protection helps keep moisture out and it can also give your bed a non-skid surface.

Bed liners provide a lot of protection, but sometimes they can be hard and slippery. A truck bed mat reduces the slippery surface and makes it easier to climb into your truck bed to load and unload cargo.

Why Get a Truck Bed Mat?

There are two main reasons to get a truck bed mat. If you currently have nothing in your truck bed but are unsure if you want a bed liner, then a truck bed mat can at least provide a functional protective surface for your bed. If you already have a bed liner, you might want a bed mat to provide a less slippery surface, plus a softer surface for loading and unloading your truck bed.

How To Choose a Truck Bed Mat

There are a few different styles of truck bed mats available. Rubber truck bed mats tend to be the most common as they provide a cushiony, non-skid surface and are very durable. Another type is the bed rug style which provides something closer to a carpeted surface. You can also choose from universal-fit bed mats and custom-fit mats.

The best choice is a custom-fit mat made of high-strength rubber. A custom-fit mat is made for specific makes and models of trucks, which means it will fit tightly into your bed without any trimming or cutting. Rubber tends to be the best surface as it's very non-skid, generally cheaper than carpet types, and provides a lot of cushion for your cargo or your knees.
