I am not going to put any clear on my bedwood because I believe it will only create more problems when it peels. See this link for a report done by Mar K one different types of wood finishes. Scroll down the page to the articles regarding wood finish and the test results.

With Varathane on the bedwood, I will once every year or two simply recoat with a little more Varathane and carry on. This way, I can put stuff in the bed of my truck and not worry about scratches as the Varathane will easily recoat and repair.
