About BedRug
BedRug manufactures molded, closed-cell polypropylene foam bed liners and mats for trucks, vans, and Jeeps out of Madison, Tennessee. The material is not carpet, despite the plush look and feel -- it is a TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) and 100% polypropylene composite, the same closed-cell foam family used in life jackets, engineered to shed water instead of absorbing it. That construction is why BedRug backs its liners with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, and why the company holds both ISO 9001 and TS 16949 automotive-quality certifications. Truck Hero, Inc. (the company now doing business as RealTruck) purchased BedRug in 2009 and continues to manufacture the full line -- Classic Bed Liners and Mats, the hybrid Impact Bed Mat, XLT Bed Mats, Tailgate Mats, VanRug and VanTred cargo liners, and BedTred Jeep liners and headliners -- in the USA.
On RevRated, the BedRug XLT Bedmat is one of our top picks in independent testing for truck bed liners, specifically for owners who want a padded, carpet-style surface rather than rubber or a sprayed-on coating. Its 3/4-inch closed-cell foam backing cushions knees and cargo the way BedRug's own engineering claims it should, and the hook-and-loop, no-drill installation matches what BedRug documents across its product line.

Why we recognized BedRug
The RevRated Top Brand recognition isn't paid for and can't be applied for. We award it to the brands whose products consistently stand out in our hands-on category reviews. BedRug earned it on the strength of the products below, evaluated the same way every product on this site is: bought, run on real vehicles, and judged on merit.
BedRug products we rated highly
BedRug XLT Bedmat, Fits 2002-2025 Ram 1500 6.4' Bed - XLTBMT02SBS
The polypropylene carpet-style top layer over a 3/4-inch padded backing is the only soft, quiet surface in our roundup -- every other liner we tested is hard rubber or bare steel, which is why truck campers and dog owners specifically seek out a BedRug. The padding deadens road noise and cushions impact so coolers, tools, and electronics ride quieter and better protected, and the polypropylene fibers shed water rather than absorbing it, so snow, rain, and a wet cooler do not turn the surface into a sponge -- it hoses or power-washes clean. It molds to the Ram 1500 6.4-foot bed with an integrated tailgate-hinge cover and hook-and-loop, no-drill installation, and it carries BedRug's limited lifetime warranty, the longest coverage of any mat we tested in this roundup.

- The BedRug XLT Bedmat is one of RevRated's top picks in our independent truck bed liner testing, the only carpet-style, padded option among the mats and coatings we evaluated.
- Built from BedRug's closed-cell TPO and polypropylene foam composite rather than real carpet, so the surface sheds water instead of absorbing it and resists mold and mildew.
- Backed by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, matched to ISO 9001 and TS 16949 automotive-quality certifications earned in 2010.
- Molds to the vehicle's specific bed with an integrated tailgate-hinge cover and hook-and-loop, no-drill installation rather than a universal trim-to-fit design.
- Manufactured in Madison, Tennessee since BedRug's 2009 acquisition by Truck Hero, Inc. (now RealTruck), which continues to build the full BedRug, BedTred, VanRug, and VanTred lineup in the USA.
