I've always had spray-in bed liners in my trucks. But, I now have a bed rug in my F-250. I like it though I wouldn't say it's better/worse than a spray liner. I was concerned about sliding heavy items in and out of the bed with the rug but that's turned out to be a non-issue. It's very soft and we've even slept on it during a camping trip. It's only been in the truck for about 8 months so I'm not sure how well it will hold up over time.
