    just throwing a suggestion out there to make your own bed mat for the taco. I have two 3/8" 6' x 4' heavy duty mats under my weight bench in my exercise room and I thought why not take one and cut to fit for the bed. They cost about 40-50 dollars at exercise equipment stores. Just throwing an idea out there, don't need you all to say that's cheap or whatever. they also weigh about 40-50 pounds and would not slide around if they are cut good and would also prevent things from sliding around. Just a suggestion...

    Good idea. Another is horse trailer mats, they cost about the same, $50.

    Yup. Horse mats at tractor supply are pretty cheap.

    I've thrown my old rims and tires on them, hauled a bed and mattress, seems to be holding pretty well.. if it gets damaged, it's only $10 bucks anyway :)

    I went to a discount store, picked up a generic bed mat for $25, spent 20 minutes cutting it to fit and moved on. Works perfect. $100 for something that is hidden is not my cup of tea thank you.

    It's the 6 pcs gym mat that they have. It should be at the sports section. Then I used box cutter to cut them and of course measuring tap. Then I used some heavy duty packing tape to tape all the tiles together. Then I used a double sided tape so it doesn't move on the bed
