Here’s a look at the many types of retractable truck bed covers:

Soft-Top Covers

Soft-top covers can be made of a variety of materials, such as vinyl or a blend of plastics. One of the most popular soft-top retractable covers is the Retrax ONE MX, which is made of polycarbonate. This durable thermoplastic is known as LEXAN, and it provides a strong yet flexible surface.

The LEXAN surface is reinforced with aluminum rods that ensure the cover does not dip in the center. The aluminum rods also provide a framework that allows you to lock the cover in place at certain positions along the way.

With a soft-top cover, you can get a smoother look for your truck bed and a lower profile. The soft cover is also easier to maintain as it does not rust, scratch or dent.

All-Aluminum Cover

Aluminum retractable tonneau covers like the Retrax PRO MX give you superior durability with a beautiful design. Aluminum is both tough yet lightweight, and it is resistant to damages such as scratching, denting and fading.

The Retrax PRO MX is a popular all-aluminum cover that has heavy-duty construction that can withstand loads of up to 500 pounds. The cover has a design that allows it to stay flush whether it is open or closed, and it features weather sealing so that any gear you have stored in the bed is protected from water damage and the elements.

Glossy Aluminum Cover

If you want all the benefits of an all-aluminum cover but would like a more sophisticated look for your truck bed, you may want to opt for a glossy aluminum cover.
