Soft Tonneau Covers

Premium, vinyl soft tonneau covers designed in the USA, in two styles: the SC3 soft tri-fold and the SC4 soft flip-up. Both are folding covers, not roll-up, built from a tear-resistant, UV-protected tarp with weathertight seals.

Lighter and lower-cost than a hard cover, Worksport soft covers elevate the pickup truck experience with functionality, style, and affordability.

The complete soft tonneau cover buying guide

New to truck bed covers? This guide covers what a soft tonneau cover is, the styles and materials, how to measure your bed, whether a cover helps gas mileage, and how install and care work. If you already know what you want, pick your truck at the top of the page.

1. What is a soft tonneau cover?

2. The styles of soft tonneau covers

Soft Roll-Up: Affordable, full bed access, easy to install.
Soft Folding: Opens in sections and lies flat or stacks toward the cab, giving a cleaner look and a firmer seal than a rollup. Usually tri-fold panels, quicker to remove. Worksport builds tri-fold (SC3) and flip-up (SC4) soft folding tonneau covers.

3. Hard vs. soft tonneau covers

Hard covers are built for security and long-term durability. Thick aluminum panels don't flex or rattle, and they make it significantly harder for anyone to get into your bed without permission.
Soft covers offer a lighter, lower-cost entry point. They fold out of the way quickly when you need full bed access and are a solid fit for owners who don't need maximum security but want basic weather protection and a cleaner look.

4. What are Worksport soft covers made of?

Worksport soft covers are made from a tear-resistant, seamless, one-piece vinyl tarp, UV-protected on both sides for superior weather resistance. The rear cam latch adds a layer of security against tampering or forced entry, while Q-seals run the perimeter of the cover to keep water, snow, and debris out and your cargo dry and clean. Being vinyl rather than aluminum, soft covers are lighter than a hard cover and easier to remove entirely when you need full use of the bed.

SC4 steps that up with cable-operated quick latches, making it effortless to access your truck bed whether you're racing to cover gear before a storm or just loading up for the day. SC4 is also uniquely designed so that typical obstructions, such as drainage rails and brackets, are minimized as much as possible. That gives you 100% bulkhead-to-tailgate use of your truck bed, making it a practical choice for truck owners who want full bed access without sacrificing cargo space.

5. Do tonneau covers improve gas mileage?

Usually yes, modestly. By smoothing airflow over the bed, a tonneau cover reduces aerodynamic drag at highway speed, which can improve fuel economy a few percent. The exact gain depends on your truck, speed, and driving. It's a nice bonus, not the main reason to buy.

6. Which cover is right for you?

Tri-fold or flip-up? Tri-fold (SC3) for the lowest profile and partial bed-access. Flip-up (SC4) for full-bed access.
Hard or soft? Hard provides durability, better security and weather protection for your gear. Choose soft for the lowest price, lighter weight, and easy installation/removal.

7. How to measure your truck bed for a tonneau cover?

Tonneau covers are sized to your bed, so measuring is the step that tells you which cover fits.

Step 1: Clear the bed so nothing is in the way. Make sure the tailgate is fully closed before you measure.
Step 2: Using a tape measure, measure in a straight line from the inside edge of the closed tailgate to the inside of the bulkhead (the wall behind the cab). Watch the video below for a visual walkthrough and a few additional points to consider.
Step 3: Compare your measurements to available tonneau covers found on the Worksport website. Please ensure that the truck year, make, model and trim of your selected truck bed cover match your own vehicle. If they do not, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support teams to help you make the correct decision.
