Cloudster Pillow + We The People Holsters: IWB Comfort Upgrade

Posted on by cloudster
Best holster wedges 2026 comparison - Cloudster Pillow holster wedge

We The People Holsters is one of the most accessible IWB Kydex options in concealed carry — a $35–$45 holster that ships with a lifetime warranty and adjustable retention. The tradeoff with mass-market Kydex is comfort: the shell is solid, but bare Kydex against your skin during all-day carry is rough. The Cloudster Pillow drops onto every We The People holster and is the single biggest comfort upgrade you can make to the rig.

Does the Cloudster Pillow Fit We The People Holsters?

Yes — every We The People IWB and AIWB Kydex holster. That includes their standard IWB, OWB, light-bearing, and red dot–compatible holsters across the entire We The People product line. The Cloudster Pillow’s industrial hook-and-loop attachment bonds cleanly to We The People’s Kydex shells.

We The People holsters don’t ship with a comfort wedge, so the Cloudster Pillow’s included loop strips are exactly what you need for first install.

Which Cloudster Pillow Size Works Best With We The People?

We The People Holster Recommended Size Why
IWB — subcompact (G43, P365, Hellcat, Shield) Mini Slim profile holsters need a smaller wedge to sit flush — Mini avoids overhang.
IWB — compact (G19, M&P Compact, P320 Compact) Standard Best general-purpose pick for the most common WTP setup.
IWB — full-size (G17, M&P, P320, 1911) Deluxe Heavier pistol, longer slide — Deluxe gives the rotation and surface to support it.
IWB — light-bearing (TLR-7, X300, Streamlight) Deluxe Weapon light pushes the muzzle profile outboard — needs more wedge below the bezel.

Why We The People Customers Add Cloudster Pillow

We The People is great for what it is: an inexpensive, well-made Kydex holster with a long warranty. The downsides are the things every bare-Kydex holster shares:

  • No factory wedge or pillow. The Kydex shell is the entire holster — you’re getting a precision pistol carrier, not a comfort system. The Cloudster Pillow adds the comfort layer that turns it into a real all-day setup.
  • Bare Kydex on skin gets sticky in summer. A bamboo or cotton-covered pillow fixes this immediately.
  • Hard edges where the holster meets your body. The Cloudster Pillow’s shredded foam and fabric cover absorb the pressure points on the lower edge of the holster — the area that creates the worst hot spots after 4+ hours of carry.
  • Print reduction matters at any holster price point. A claw alone — which We The People sells separately — only rotates the grip from the top. Pair it with the Cloudster Pillow at the muzzle and you get the full grip-rotation combo most premium AIWB setups already include.

How to Install the Cloudster Pillow on a We The People Holster

  1. Wipe the body-side Kydex with rubbing alcohol. A clean surface ensures the adhesive bonds permanently.
  2. Apply the loop strip. Stick it to the lower third of the body-facing Kydex panel — closest to the muzzle end of the holster.
  3. Press the Cloudster Pillow on. Position with the thickest part nearest the muzzle. The wedge should sit flush against the loop strip with no air gaps.
  4. Holster up and check. The grip should rotate inward more than it did with bare Kydex. The bottom edge of the holster should now be cushioned against your body, not pressing into it.
  5. Wear it for an hour of normal activity. Sit, drive, lean. Note any hot spots.
  6. Tune the fill. Open the closure on the pillow. More fill = more grip rotation and softer pressure distribution. Less fill = subtler print reduction.

What We The People Customers Are Saying

“Standard for 43X alien holster. Deluxe 19 COA We The People’s holster.”
— Eddie P. — Coral Springs, FL

“Amazing what a small amount of memory foam can do! The delivery of the C-Pillow was prompt and well packaged. There is enough extra fill included that you can easily do another pillow. The installation instructions included were clear and straightforward.”
— Mario D. — Brentwood, CA

Frequently Asked Questions

What size Cloudster Pillow do I need for a We The People holster + Glock 19?

Standard. The Glock 19 in a WTP IWB holster is the most common pairing, and Standard is the size for it. If you’re a bigger build or you sit/drive most of the day, you can step up to Deluxe for more pressure relief.

Will the Cloudster Pillow work with the We The People claw attachment?

Yes — and the combination is strongly recommended. The claw rotates the grip from the top of the holster; the Cloudster Pillow rotates from the bottom. Together they reduce printing more than either does alone.

Does the Cloudster Pillow fit the We The People light-bearing IWB holster?

Yes. Place the wedge below the light bezel, never over the light. Deluxe is the most common size for light-bearing WTP setups.

Is one Cloudster Pillow enough, or should I buy multiple sizes?

Most customers start with one — Standard is the safe default. If you have multiple holsters or carry different pistols, the Essentials Bundle (Mini + Standard + Deluxe) gives you size flexibility. Each pillow comes with extra fill, so you’re never locked into one thickness.

Can I use the Cloudster Pillow with a WTP holster that uses Boltaron instead of Kydex?

Yes. Boltaron and Kydex behave similarly for adhesive applications — the loop strip bonds equally well to both. The compatibility is identical.
