TRUCK BED LINER WITH CUSHIONING ELEMENTS

A truck bed liner is integrally rnolded of a thermoplastic matei-i al. Arrays of spaced-apart, endless cushioning elements downwardly depend fi-om the bottom surface of the liner body. Notches are made in the bottom margins of the cushioning elements to permit fluid ingress to and egress from the cushioning element interiors. In one embodiment, the depth of the elements is uniform, and the top surface of the bed liner emulates the rib pattern of the truck bed. In another embodiment, the depth of the elements varies, such that a rib pattern on the top surface of the liner body can be different from the truck bed rib pattem.
