If you’ve ever considered upgrading your truck bed liner, chances are you’ve come across the BedRug. Sleek, durable, and surprisingly comfortable, the BedRug has become a top choice for truck owners looking to protect their investment without sacrificing style or function. But one question keeps popping up: Is BedRug waterproof? Let’s dive into the details and clear the air.

What Exactly is a BedRug?

At first glance, BedRug liners look like carpet—and that’s by design. They’re crafted from 100% polypropylene, a plastic composite that’s both tough and weather-resistant. This material gives it a plush, carpet-like feel while being rugged enough to handle heavy-duty cargo, muddy boots, or even your furry co-pilot.

BedRug liners are molded to fit your specific truck bed, creating a smooth, custom-fitted surface that looks great and protects your truck from scratches, dents, and rust.

So, Is BedRug Waterproof?

Let’s get straight to the point—yes, the BedRug itself is waterproof. The material doesn’t absorb water, and it’s resistant to mold, mildew, and chemical spills. Rain, snow, or the occasional soda spill won’t soak into the liner or damage it.

However, while the material is waterproof, water can still get under the liner if your truck bed isn’t completely sealed—especially if you don’t have a tonneau cover or camper shell. The good news is that BedRug is designed with drainage and airflow in mind.

The closed-cell foam construction doesn’t hold water and actually allows any moisture that gets underneath to drain away or evaporate. That’s key in preventing rust or rot in your truck bed.

Can a BedRug Get Wet?

Technically, yes—it can get wet. But here’s the catch: it won’t stay wet. Thanks to the waterproof polypropylene material and its closed-cell design, any water that lands on the BedRug will simply bead up and roll off or dry quickly with air circulation.

BedRug liners are built to handle the elements. Whether you’re hauling wet gear from the beach or caught in a downpour, you won’t have to worry about soggy carpet smells or mold growing underneath.

Tips for Keeping Your BedRug in Top Shape

If you want your BedRug to last—and keep looking great—here are a few easy maintenance tips:

Rinse it off regularly. Hose it down after a dirty job or road trip.
Dry it when possible. Let it air out if it’s been exposed to a lot of water.
Use a tonneau cover or camper shell. Especially here in California, where sun and surf are part of life, a cover adds extra protection against the elements.

Why BedRug Works Great with Camper Shells
