The Best Bed Liners and Bed Mats for Chevy Silverado 1500

Bed Liners vs. Bed Mats: What's the Difference?

While bed liners and bed mats offer exceptional bed protection, they do so in slightly different ways. Whereas bed mats cover only your Silverado's bed floor, bed liners offer comprehensive bed protection that encompasses the bed floor, bedsides, bulkhead, and, often, the tailgate. 

Why Go With a Bed Liner?

A good bed liner will protect your truck's entire cargo area against dents, scrapes, scratches, and other damage that would otherwise occur due to shifting or falling cargo. It keeps the paint in excellent condition and preserves this often-well-used portion of your truck so that resale value is retained. 

Why Go With a Bed Mat?

Whether you already have a bed liner or not, a bed mat can be a welcome addition (or a significant upgrade) to the level of protection that the bottom of your truck bed already has. No other surface on your truck's body is as likely to incur damage as the bottom of your bed. Why not give it an extra layer of insurance to help keep it pristine over the long haul?

With so many options on the market, narrowing down the ideal bed liner for your Chevy Silverado 1500 can be tricky. Check out RealTruck's top-recommended products to help ease your decision.

BedRug Classic Bed Liner

The BedRug Classic bed liner attaches to your Silverado's bed with industrial-strength hook-and-loop fasteners, preventing rubbing and damage to the paint. Made of extra-tough polypropylene, it won't fade, rip, or tear, and chemicals like bleach, motor oil, or battery acid won't even hurt it.
