What Is a Holster Wedge?
A holster wedge is a foam or rubber pad that attaches to the back of an IWB holster, angling the grip into the body for better concealment and comfort. The Cloudster Pillow holster wedge uses adjustable shredded cooling gel memory foam with a breathable fabric cover, letting you customize thickness for all-day appendix or strong-side carry without hot spots or pressure points.
Cloudster Pillow Camo Holster Wedge
The Cloudster Pillow Camo Series IWB holster wedge offers rugged style and unmatched comfort, made from 100% cotton flannel brushed on both sides for a plush, ultra-soft feel. This absorbent, durable fabric ensures long-lasting performance, while the high-quality camo print adds a bold, tactical touch. Available in Mini, Standard, and Deluxe sizes, the Camo Series fits any holster setup. The Mini is perfect for narrow holsters and small attachments, the Standard works for most holsters from subcompacts to full-size, and the Deluxe provides maximum support for larger holsters or wider setups. With its soft, absorbent cotton and stylish camo design, the Camo Series is the perfect blend of comfort, durability, and functionality.

What Carriers Say About the Cloudster Pillow
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jose G. — Charlotte, NC: “I’ve tried different wedges from Tier1, Vedder, etc and this pillow is the best by far. The others are hard and uncomfortable when you carry all day, and create pressure points. 10/10.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joe C. — Ranger, GA: “Just now changing to appendix carry after 30+ years of strong side carry and the Cloudster on my Tier1 holster has made the switch easy. Very good design, like the ability to adjust fill for comfort.”

I’m a newer shooter/carrier (7 months), and was struggling quite a bit with holsters and wedges, turns out all I needed were the Cloudster pillow wedges. Genius idea, so easy to completely tailor it to your specific needs, and they are super comfortable. The regular wedges offered by the holster companies are good, Phlster makes good ones but they still have rough edges and are prone to cause hot spots and discomfort. Go get yourself the pillow wedges, they’re awesome.
I haven’t had a lot of time with the pillow yet, but I definitely noticed a difference. I use it with my Vedder LightTuck with a Sig P225.
Absolute Comfort, feels as though I’m not carrying my edc, so comfortable when driving don’t even notice it, no more digging in my groin area, would highly recommend this product.
It works great! Very comfy and easy to fill especially.
Pillows going on all my set ups. They’re amazing. 🤙🏽
Cloudster pillows are a game-changer! They’re super comfortable and have no hotspots. I’ve tried other wedges before, but nothing compares to this. Keep up the awesome work! Travis
Makes wearing my fire arm like wearing my favorite shirt, very comfortable, can wear my fire arm all day and not be uncomfortable or bothered by it, and it makes printing a non issue
CC9 in a tenicore holster with the medium size pillow. Love the setup, it’s now super comfy to carry for long periods of time without digging into you. Excited to add the different size pillows to the other holsters I have. Thank you!
Hi Keith! My current setup is a Taurus GX4 Carry in a Muddy River Tactical Sidecar. I’ve never used a wedge before but recently came across one of your videos and after reading multiple reviews decided it was necessary to try. I purchased the combo pack to run the mini on the mag carrier and figure out which one to run on the gun side, and have one left over for my wife’s setup. Outrageously comfortable and a concealment aid is a win-win for me!
Late review for the Cloudster pillows I picked up almost two months ago. I randomly ran across a YouTube video of the owner comparing the various pillow/wedges on holsters which was so helpful given the ample choices online.
So I picked up 3x standards, 1x mini, and extra form (which is unnecessary). The pillows come stuffed and I only used 3/4 per holster for AIWB carry for my Echelon 4.0C with light, Hellcat Pro, and G43. The pillows are adjustable/fillable all over the holster for my normal carries, and I keep a stuffed pillow for carrying in gym shorts. I liked how it made my uncomfortable holsters comfortable to wear – big difference than the wedges I had before. I really really like them.
Pictures are of standard pillows on a 4Brothers (Echelon) and Tenicor Certum3 (Hellcat), and how snug they make AIWB carry without printing. Super nice.

For my EDC, I carry a Hellcat pro comp. I use Tier 1 with a side car. I also started using the neo mag bat strap. Both of these products are great for EDC and go well together. However, even when using top of the line products, I still found it cumbersome when sitting or even some printing being visible. I researched like a mad man for something to fill in the gap. With a lot of positive reviews and affordability, I decided to give cloudster Pillow a shot. It did not disappoint. I absolutely love this product. I also live in AZ, which is why I have my setup the way it is because we all wear shorts here in the 100 plus degrees months. The Cloudster pillow does not trap heat and is very high quality. I bought the largest pillow and works perfectly for my holster with a side car. I highly recommend.
Rocking the monster size pillow on a TC1 Axis Elite carrying a G19 Gen 6 with Holosun ESP Carry and a Streamlight TLR7-X hanging off a HC EDC Blackout Belt. Hands down the most comfortable setup I have ever ran! I forget the gun is even there. It was good without the pillow. It is absolutely great with the pillow! Don’t hesitate just buy one you won’t regret it. Keith has an awesome product and has the best customer service I’ve ever come across!
I was on the verge of giving up with appendix carry. As a new CPL holder, I was REALLY struggling to get any comfort with even a premium holster like the Tier 1 Concealment Axis Elite. Due to my body type I’m sure. I’m thin, with a bit of a belly, so it was pushing the barrel side of the holster into my pelvis, which doesn’t have much cushion. I’ve tried multiple different concealment wedges with no relief, more than just discomfort, it was painful. The Cloudster Pillow is a GAME CHANGER for me. It’s offered me comfort, and concealment.

I am really enjoying the pillow. I am coming from the mastermind tactics and can for sure see a difference. Thanks so much for making a great product. I will tell all of my friends.
Cloudster Pillow White Standard
I am a shorter man with a relatively athletic build. 5’6, 145lbs. My body type makes concealing extremely difficult as I don’t have many valleys and peaks to work with. Because of this, it is nearly impossible to carry without a wedge in most situations where I am not wearing a hoodie or a jacket. I have tried several other options but the Cloudster is by far the most comfortable and effective wedge device I have used. Purchase was simple. Shipping was fast.

The Cloudster Pillow is an absolute game changer. I no longer need to be concerned about the comfort level of any holster. I can now simply pick what has the most adjustability and rest assured I have a solid solution for comfort.
Thank you!
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I have tried various wedges from multiple companies and the Cloudster pillow is by far the most comfortable and most versatile “wedge” for a holster that I have used. The pillow is soft both in firmness and texture The ability to add and remove the filling to customize size, shape and firmness is fantastic. The foam filling is a nice change from the materials used in other pillows of this type. It doesn’t stick to the velcro over time slowly making it unusable. All you need to do to change the direction the “wedge” rotates your holster is to change the location on the velcro strip. So far the velcro attached to the stays just where I put it even if I don’t have the entire strip engaged. Another huge benefit is the fact that I can use these pillows with multiple holsters. I bought extra velcros strips to attach the pillows to other holsters I already own and the ones I will buy in the future. Overall this is a fantastic product and I would recommend it easily.

Happy to!! I have them both on T1C Xiphos elite holster and I want to make it clear… THESE MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE! The amount of comfort achieved is night and day, I am a customer for life!
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe • Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
I’ve been carrying appendix for years now. And I’ve struggled with hot spots. I have spent a small fortune on different holsters and every wedge/pad you can think of, even the “top tier” ones. I finally got an axis elite holster and that helped a lot, but still had a hot spot. Then I got the Cloudster Pillow. This thing is a game changer! My setup is now as close to perfect as can be. The Cloudster literally eliminated any and all hot spots.
On top of that, I had a question and used the web sight. Kieth (I think the company owner) responded quickly and answer my question. Awesome customer service, awesome product! If you’re struggling with ccw comfort, do yourself a favor and get a Cloudster!!!
