Default Bed mat?

Does anyone have or know where to get a bed mat for their dak? Someone I work with has a Tacoma with a bed mat and it's actually super useful. You can empty the whole truck just by slideing the mat out.

I ordered one from Checker auto. Custom fit and decent price. It was 4 years ago.
Also a tailgate mat.

Maybe 75.00 total. Sorry, can't remember the brand

I had one on my 99 Sierra. It did a good job at protecting the bed and keeping stuff from sliding around. However, it provided no protection to the sides and moisture could get under it. Since you envision sliding the mat out to empty the truck, this doesn't sound like a concern you have. Hmm, I never tried that that method of emptying the bed.

With all of my trucks since, I've sprung for a Line-X spray in bedliner - even this Dak with 91K on the clock when I bought it.
