I've wondered about that.
House spray-foam insulation can be either open-cell or closed-cell. Open-cell is cheaper, but it has to stay dry. Closed-cell insulation won't absorb water. It'd be nice if there was a sound deadening insulation with similar properties, that simply wouldn't absorb water even if submerged. Lizard skin sounds like it might meet this requirement.
If bedliner will definitely stay attached, and won't let any water get underneath of it, I think that would also be a good option for floor protection. I don't like the look or feel of bedliner. It just seems to "chintzy." I'd much rather cover it with a real rubber mat.
