I know you said you don't like Weathertech but I rebadged mine with an MB sticker. I opted for this brand as opposed to the OEM because some users stated that things don't slide in and out very easily with the square cleats on the OEM all weather cargo mat. I also avoided Tuxmat because some users said things slid on it too easily. I felt Weathertech was a nice in between and I had one on my previous vehicle. For passenger floor mats, I have Tuxmat which are great so far. They easily wipe clean with a damp cloth.

I have a Tuxmat and I'm quite happy with it. Links haven't been working for me, but I'll provide one anyway.

Here's an earlier thread about floor mats and cargo mats you might find helpful.

Does Mecedes have OEM trunk mat? I didnt' see it on MBUSA website, otherwise I would ask dealer to give me one as a complimentary accessory .

Advantage - easy to fold into a small heap.

The one in previous vehicle was fine for 15 years. I'd say my previous one was heftier quality though so maybe they are doing shoddy manufacturing now.

If you are aiming for max utility and wear the OEM liner is the best as it is HARD. Some people do not like it because the square protrusions catches things but if you are the type of person who uses milk crates or those folding crates you will like it as you won't have to tie em down. I have abused the OEM by dragging heavy e-bikes across it for almost 2 years now and it is holding up well and I can't imagine doing that on the softer weathertech and tuxmat liners (I have tuxmats floor liners). My cheat to make things easier to slide across the OEM trunk liner is putting a big towel across it and when I want to pull heavy things I just pull the towel and it slides easier rather than reaching all the way in.
