Mercedes Benz boot liner information

If you’re a Mercedes Benz car owner and have a dog you take on muddy country walks or carry camping gear around with you a lot, then this article is written just for you. Your vehicle needs to be sufficiently protected in order to keep it in good condition, but often the car boot space gets neglected. However, a fully tailored boot liner which is easy to install and clean will require minimal maintenance and provide years of quality protection from large spills, dirt, heavy cargo, muddy pet paws and much more.

Mercedes Benz provide a range of accessories for the boots of their vehicles, including floor mats and boot tubs. While these are often branded with the Mercedes Benz logo, they do not offer the same longevity or customisability as a custom liner from Hatchbag.

In this guide, we'll compare manufacturer-made and custom boot liners for Mercedes Benz vehicles to help you find the best solution for you. Click on one of the links below to jump to that section:

Manufacturer-made boot protection

Boot tubs (deep and shallow)

Mercedes Benz boot tubs have a honeycomb design that stops loads from sliding in the boot, making it easier to keep a stowage crate in place. They are designed to fit flush to the load space and have raised edges that contain minor spills.

Pros	Cons
Easy to clean	Expensive (from £86.70 for shallow)
Made from break-proof polypropylene	Does not protect back of rear seats
Resistant to acids	Does not protect boot walls
Lightweight	Not comfortable for pets
	Not ideal for transporting large or lengthy items that require the lowering of rear seats
	Cannot be customised

Load compartment tubs (deep and shallow)

Mercedes Benz load compartment tubs are similar to the boot tubs but are less tailored to the boot area. They are made from a similar material to the boot tubs and are designed to protect your boot area from dirt and scratches.

Pros	Cons
Made from robust and lightweight plastic	Expensive
Some branded with Mercedes Benz logo	Won’t protect from large spills and extensive dirt or damage
Lightweight	Won’t protect the boot walls or back of rear seats
	Cannot be customised

Reversible mats

Reversible mats from Mercedes Benz are made from 100% polyester. One side is rubberised and non-slip for keeping cargo in place, and the other is a soft velour to protect the boot floor from moisture and dirt.

Pros	Cons
Anti-slip	Susceptible to seepage
Easy to clean	Only protects the boot floor
Some branded with Mercedes Benz logo	Boot walls and back of rear seats left exposed
Precision fit	No protection against large spillages and extensive dirt
	Cannot be customised

Custom-made boot liners

Pros

Hatchbag boot liners provide a more cost-effective alternative to Mercedes Benz boot protection, which is often expensive and does not provide full coverage of the whole boot space. With Hatchbag, no measuring is required on your part and your liner will fit flush to your boot, held in place with locking straps.

Our boot liners are made from waterproof, non-absorbent reinforced PVC which is wipe- clean and provides long-lasting protection against large spillages, heavy tools and cargo, pet hair and much more. Our liners also have built-in odour control and provide greater comfort for pets compared to rubber and plastic.

The only colour option available for most Mercedes Benz manufacturer-made boot liners is black, but with a custom-made one, you can choose from seven colour variations. They are available with a range of compatible accessories and are offered with a number of upgrade options, including Rear Plus with Seat Split which allows you to fold your car’s rear seats individually or collectively while using the boot liner.

Cons

As your boot liner will be fully bespoke to your exact vehicle, it may take our professional team here at Hatchbag a bit longer than the manufacturer to get your Mercedes Benz boot liner ready for you.
