Jeep Gladiator Bed Accessory Guide

You can’t reference bed accessories without mentioning bed liners and mats. These premium liners guard your Gladiator’s dent, ding, and abrasion-prone bed floor and inner bedsides against unnecessary damage; however, they don’t only protect your pickup.

Bed liners and mats also guard your cargo against unnecessary abrasions, preventing scuffs and scratches from sliding across the bed floor. Some bed liners even feature a soft-touch carpeted finish, protecting your knees while crawling around the bed and making for a far more comfortable experience while truck-bed camping or lounging at a campsite or drive-in movie. 

While similar, bed liners and bed mats refer to two different products. Bed mats protect only your Gladiator’s bed floor while bed liners offer comprehensive protection that covers the bed floor, inner bed sides, and often the tailgate! Now, let’s check out our expert-recommended bed liners and mats.

BedRug Full Bedliner

The BedRug Full Bedliner offers comprehensive bed protection for your Gladiator, covering the entire cargo area in a premium polyethylene fiber finish.

The BedRug Full Bedliner is non-skid and resistant to impacts, abrasions, mold, mildew, chemicals, stains, and UV fading. Each liner features a vehicle-specific design and offers a simple installation with the included hook-and-loop strips. BedRug even backs each Bedliner with an industry-leading limited lifetime warranty.
