Look up a product called "Bed Rug". It's a closed cell polypropylene backed material that is a cross between carpeting and flocking. The make it to use instead of a bed liner. It's soft, and things don't slide around on it. Also, it's nearly impossible to scratch paint with the backing. I won't say impossible, but it protects very well. Additionally, it doesn't scratch paint the way a bed mat does.

I've considered one, but I just use a blanket as the bed of my truck is mostly just for looks anyway.

I have used them in my newer trucks, and they do work very well. Just something to consider.
