A vehicle includes a frame, a cabin coupled to the frame, and a blast mat. The cabin includes a seat configured to support an occupant and a series of walls at least partially defining a footwell configured to receive a foot of the occupant when the occupant is seated in the seat. The blast mat is positioned within the footwell and configured to absorb energy from an explosion. The blast mat has a top surface and a bottom surface. The cabin defines a longitudinal axis extending parallel to a forward direction of travel of the vehicle and a lateral axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. At least a portion of the bottom surface of the blast mat engages at least one of the walls. A thickness of the blast mat varies throughout the blast mat.
