On amz, I bought bunk carpet of seasense, the carpet worked great. Glued to the treated 2x6's with 3M spray adhesive and then wrapped and stapled on the backside. Able to cover a 2x6 just right without cutting length wise. Seems to be same quality and durability as the stock bunks on a matched trailer.

You can consider CE Smith, It is a good product that I have used. This 20 oz marine bunk carpet is made with marine-grade and high-quality upholstery material that is heavy duty and can sustain an impact without visible abrasions and tears.

I upgraded my worn-out and damaged bunker carpet by CE Smith carpets for the boat trailer bunk. Interestingly, it is made out of 100% PET polyester, which makes its fabric breathable. Therefore, the carpet can quickly dry even after loading and launching my boat. Worrying about nasty mildew and mold on my bunk boards becomes a thing of the past.
