If you already have a spray-in, would you add a drop-in on top?

Couldn't pass the deal at the time on factory spray-in + side rails for $495. Added a BedRug Impact Mat to save my knees when doing tie-downs or reaching under the tonneau cover, and the mesh cover over the gap between the bed frame and tailgate was a nice bonus when dealing with loose material in it.

Spray in is enough for me. I don't plan on hauling anything that would damage the spray in liner. Nothing against a drop in liner. If I hauled something like engine blocks, I might consider a drop in. But otherwise, bo

Interesting post, I do not see that you offer a floor mat for the PU bed on our Mavericks. Trying to gauge interest?
I have the factory spray-in and use a rubber floor mat.

I’d do the mat since I already have one. My SIBL are coming…

Got the LINE-X. Beautifully done. Got the Ford bed mat (with points) for some better grip (and some knee cushioning).

With a roll up tonneau cover all I needed was a mat to cushion my knees and keep things from sliding around. Maybe if my 23XL hybrid was a work truck I'd consider a liner. I'd recommend getting neither until you see how you'll use the truck. Pine straw and furniture is all I've ever hauled in 2 1/2 years.

I added the Ford bet mat on top of my Maverick spray-in liner.

That's a great question that I have been debating for a while.

I'll be interested to see what the consensus is..

We’re seeing more builds running spray-in + drop-in together. And yeah, the first reaction is usually: “If I already paid for a spray-in, why add a drop-in—isn’t that wasting money?”

Short answer from a lot of real-world users: extra cushion, less rattle, better grip, and a sacrificial layer that keeps your spray-in from getting gouged when you chuck sharp or heavy stuff.

And we’ve been combing through pickup forums across models and the theme is consistent, check what they've said.

So here's the conclusion:
  1. Spray-ins are great and look clean, but they’re not perfect.
  2. Stacking a drop-in on top can solve specific pain points (noise, slide, impact).
    Owners shared a ton of useful experiences—we figured it’s worth a proper poll here.
And...here comes our question:
If you already have a spray-in, would you add a drop-in on top?
• Yes — extra protection/grip is worth it
• Maybe — depends on price/fit/weight
• No — spray-in is enough
• Not sure — convince me in the comments

To make this useful and fun, we are hoping you can share your opinion down below this thread, and we are select one winner giving away 2 sets of bed mat to him/her or his/her friend from this forum

Here's the rule:
• Comment your take on spray-in + drop-in (real experience or what’s holding you back).
• @Tag one forum friend who’d have an opinion.
We’ll randomly pick one comment and send two bed mats — one to the commenter and one to the tagged friend.
• Multiple thoughtful comments = better odds, but one set max per person.

House rules

Keep it friendly, respect different setups, and skip the brand bashing. Real-world experience beats hot takes.

Dropping a few use-case screenshots below to spark ideas. Your pics welcome — especially that “one load that sold me” moment. Fire away 👇
@Cherokee cool contest

@Cherokee i have the spray in from the factory and am considering a liner to keep things from sliding to much. I carried a large took box on a trip and it left red paint on the liner. Which i though made me look like a real pickup owner.. lol
