Husky X-Act Contour vs. WeatherTech: Which F-150 Floor Mat is Better?
Share
You just bought a 2015–2020 Ford F-150. You look down at the pristine carpet and realize one thing: One muddy job site or spilled coffee is going to ruin this.
You need floor liners. But when you start shopping, you run into the two titans of the industry: WeatherTech and Husky Liners.
They both cost about the same. They both use laser-scanning technology for a perfect fit. So, what’s the difference?
It comes down to Feel.
-
WeatherTech (DigitalFit) uses a proprietary hard plastic (HDTE). It’s rigid, holds its shape perfectly, but can be slippery when wet.
-
Husky Liners (X-Act Contour) uses a soft, rubberized material. It’s heavy, flexible, and grips your boots like a factory rubber mat.
In this guide, we break down the "Plastic vs. Rubber" debate to help you decide which one belongs in your truck.

Frequently Asked Questions (Floor Mats)
Do these cover the door sill?
Yes. High-quality liners (like WeatherTech and Husky) feature an "Over-the-Sill" design. The lip of the mat extends over the plastic door sill plate. This means when you sweep out the dirt, it goes right out the door—not trapped between the mat and the carpet.
Why are my vinyl floor mats sliding?
If you bought mats designed for carpet, they have tiny spikes on the bottom. On vinyl, these spikes act like ice skates. You need mats designed for vinyl floors, which usually rely on the factory retention posts (hooks) or a specialized non-slip backing to stay in place.
Can I wash these with a pressure washer?
Yes. All the liners we sell are 100% waterproof and chemical resistant. You can pull them out, blast them with a pressure washer, and let them dry in the sun. Pro Tip: Don't use "Tire Shine" on your mats to make them look black—it makes them dangerously slippery.
