I use the free blue tarps or black cloth/blankets from the harbor freight store with coupons. Those come in real handy when I have some cargo. But in the last 8 months they don't seem to be giving away anything much anymore.

Have you heard of these pet hair detailing brushes? They are designed to fix your problem that you can't vacuum up hair and splinters because they are stuck in the fibers.
Seems like for $15 it's worth a shot. I don't have one yet but the Autodetailing subreddit swears by them and they have lots of before/after using them on carpet to clean up pet hair.

Over 1/4" neoprene.
On the pet hair brush - I think I actually own something at least similar enough to see if that's feasible. I'll buy one from your link if it does.
And Holmz, I like the idea of a soft padding under one of these things that I'm thinking might be otherwise too slippery. If it's a removable thing, the slipperiness isn't as much of a concern - but still a great idea since it would let things potentially squish down a bit and that would prevent movement.
I had even thought of neoprene (Honda Element seats were upholstered with a variant) as a straight-up carpet replacement, but worried it might cut or tear under a heavier load, like if I were moving a gas grille or snowblower.
As an underlayer though... I like the engineering.

Maybe you could use this? It's easily cleanable, and is made spesifically to stop things sliding around.

Wow! That definitely has some possibility.
Personally I'm a 90s teen, so "wrap vinyl on everything" is my default But like I mentioned before, high-abrasion risk makes me nervous, on top of the slip factor - but I'm still going to mentally note this unique vinyl for other installs.
And there's cloth versions! I'm going to have to check that out.
But this also has me wondering about the possibility of 1) upholstering it in one of these grippy and easy-to-vacuum options
then
2) sewing up my own plush trunk liner (I'm thinking "out of unbacked plush auto carpet") to use for any cargo/mess/etc hauling duty.
This grippy upholstery could partner up well with carpet, so the carpet doesn't in turn slide and damage the upholstery.
Thanks - definitely has me thinking.
