How thick is a bedrug?

Okay this sounds dumb, but I am having difficulty getting height right on my bed platform for my F150 build.

I am adding a bedrug, but I see the thickness listed at 3/4", but it occurred to me that 3/4" is probably TOTAL thickness including the part that occupies the space between the ribs on the bed floor, and if THAT is the case, I think the actual height is under 1/4". So bedrug on top of the ribs, and rat fur carpeting on the inside roof of the truck cap if I am thinking correctly should only encroach no more than say 3/8".

Is my thinking right?

Sorry this little bit of info is not all that easy to find on Bedrugs site, or anywhere for that matter, which is odd when you think about it. I see LOTS of truck shell campers and Project M campers using bedrugs....

More or less correct. The Bedrug also compresses a bit over time, at least mine did.

Awesome. That helps me make the decision. Cut down the bed platform uprights 1.5" and even after adding bedrug and rat fur headliner I am still gaining 1"+ of headroom, plus being able to keep AquaTainers under the bed. Worst part, that is becoming less appealing to me. Since I will have to remove the aquatainers to use them, back seat footwell is getting more and more appealing.
