• Rubber truck bed mats are one of the most common types of truck bed mats because of their durability and relatively low cost when compared to other truck bed types. Depending on the type of truck you have and your budget, there are several different styles and types of rubber truck beds in which to choose.
  
  

Basic Rubber Truck Mats

• Basic rubber mats, designed to fit a wide variety of truck beds, can be purchased at many auto parts stores and other retail stores. These mats are a good choice if you don't mind having to adjust the position of the mat in the bed due to occasional mat slippage due to the truck's movement.
  
  

Textured and Raised-Surface Mats

• Some rubber mats are designed with raised and textured surfaces, meant to provide extra traction and to help prevent cargo in the truck bed from sliding and shifting. Textured rubber mats also contain small grooves on the surface, similar to those found on rubber tires, designed to keep water from collecting in the bed. Raised-surface rubber mats, also called carpeted mats, are designed to have a soft, carpet-like texture and provide extra cushioning and protection for truck bed cargo.
  
  

Custom Mats

• Trucks with particularly long, short or irregularly shaped beds may require a custom-made rubber bed mat. While more expensive than other types, these mats are also designed to fit specifically inside the bed of the truck snugly, resulting in little to no slippage during truck movement. To order a custom rubber truck bed mat you will need to know the dimensions of your truck bed as well as the make and model of your truck.
