The Best GMC Sierra 1500 Bed Liners and Bed Mats

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

Both bed mats and bed liners offer impact and abrasion resistance to your GMC Sierra's bed, though they do so in different ways—which is right for you?

Whereas bed liners offer comprehensive protection to your truck's entire cargo area, including the bed floor, bed walls, and tailgate, bed mats protect only the most damage-susceptible area of the bed—the floor.

Why Go With a Bed Mat?

Bed mats are a worthwhile investment due to their ability to protect your truck bed from damage, including scrapes, dents, paint removal, and the rust that can result. Whether shifting cargo, adverse weather conditions, or the usual wear and tear are to blame, a bed mat is a simple yet effective solution. Bed mats are also a cost-effective liner of the two, protecting your Sierra's bed on a budget.

Why Go With a Bed Liner?

Since bed liners provide the same level of coverage to the entirety of your Sierra's bed, these accessories are ideal for those who plan to frequently haul large, heavy, or abrasive cargo types. While pricier than traditional bed mats, bed liners offer far more protection than their counterparts.
