Cloudster Pillow + Werkz Holsters: Custom Kydex Comfort Setup

Posted on by Cloudster Pillow
Cloudster Pillow Werkz

Quick answer: Yes, the Cloudster Pillow works with Werkz holsters; our customers run it on the Werkz M6. It attaches with hook-and-loop to the body side of the holster, low toward the muzzle. Werkz doesn’t sell a foam wedge or pad, but its holsters have their own comfort parts: the M6 comes with a concealment claw and a muzzle bump, and the Bisect ships with a soft silicone bump (Werkz sells replacement Bisect Bumps in 10, 15 and 22.5 mm). Choose the Cloudster Pillow holster wedge if you want a fabric-covered, memory-foam layer whose thickness you set yourself. Werkz builds the M6 around a pistol and light, so the Deluxe or the Monster.

A sidecar AIWB Kydex rig — a Glock holster paired with a magazine carrier and a muzzle-end comfort wedge, the kind of setup a Cloudster Pillow upgrades.

Does the Cloudster Pillow Fit Werkz Holsters?

Yes. The pillow mounts with hook-and-loop on the side of the holster that faces your body, low toward the muzzle. Loop strips and an alcohol wipe come with the pillow, so you have what you need for the first install. Our customers run it on the Werkz M6 with a CZ P-10C, a Hellcat Pro with a TLR-7 HL-X and a Glock 19 with a TLR-8 HL-X (see their reviews below).

Werkz’s current IWB holsters are the M6, built around your pistol and light, and the Bisect, made in light-bearing and non-light-bearing versions. Werkz says the M6 can also run sidecar style with its Radius mag carrier.

Cloudster Pillow vs. the Werkz Bisect Bump and M6 Muzzle Bump

Werkz’s comfort parts come on the holster. The Bisect ships with a silicone bump that mounts with a screw, and the M6 has a muzzle bump and a concealment claw. The Cloudster Pillow is a different kind of part: a fabric-covered pillow of shredded cooling gel memory foam that mounts with hook-and-loop to any IWB or AIWB holster. I have used all the other brands. After months of daily-carry testing, the Cloudster Pillow is the best holster wedge for all-day comfort.

Werkz Bisect Bump Cloudster Pillow
What it is A silicone bump: “made to be firm, but still provide enough softness to reduce hotspots” A fabric pillow of shredded cooling gel memory foam
Thickness Three fixed heights: 10 mm, 15 mm, 22.5 mm You set it by adding or removing fill
Fits Werkz Bisect holsters (non-light-bearing and light-bearing versions) Any IWB or AIWB holster
Installs with Its Potlatch screw and a Phillips head screwdriver Hook-and-loop: peel, stick, press; repositionable anytime

What presses against you

Werkz describes the Bisect bump as “made out of a soft silicone material” and, on the Bisect holster page, “a firm (but compliant) silicone.” The Cloudster Pillow puts fabric against you, bamboo on the White, a cotton blend on the Dark and 100% cotton on the Camo, over shredded cooling gel memory foam.

How you set the thickness

The Werkz bump comes in three fixed heights, 10 mm, 15 mm and 22.5 mm, so to change thickness you change bumps. With the Cloudster Pillow you open the hook-and-loop closure and add or remove shredded memory foam, and you can change it again later without buying another part.

On an M6, keep the claw

Werkz says the M6 claw “pushes against your belt and secures the pistol grip into your body.” The Cloudster Pillow mounts on the body side, low toward the muzzle, and cushions the muzzle end, so you can run both.

The choice between the two sizes is yours. For larger body frames we recommend sizing up: a larger pillow can always be made to feel smaller by taking some fill out, but a smaller pillow can’t be made to feel bigger. Not sure? Tell us your gun, holster and carry position and we’ll help you compare the two.

You can also use our size finder.

How to Install a Cloudster Pillow on a Werkz Holster

  1. Unload and remove the gun from the holster.
  2. Clean the body side of the holster with the included alcohol wipe and let it dry.
  3. Stick the loop strip on the body side, starting low toward the muzzle end; adjust to taste, since there is no fixed spot.
  4. Press the pillow on, thicker part toward the muzzle. Our adhesive reaches full strength after 24 hours, so give it a day before heavy use if you can.
  5. Wear it and check standing, sitting and bending. The grip should tuck in, and the holster’s bottom edge should be cushioned instead of pressing into you.
  6. Tune the fill. More fill tips the grip in further; less fill is subtler. If it pokes when you sit, move it up toward the trigger guard. Our wedge placement guide has the details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Werkz make a holster wedge?

Not a foam wedge or pad. Werkz’s comfort parts come with the holsters: the M6 has a concealment claw and a muzzle bump, and the Bisect uses a silicone bump, also sold separately in three heights.

What size Cloudster Pillow for a Werkz M6?

The Deluxe or the Monster. Werkz builds the M6 around a pistol and light, and the Deluxe or the Monster covers a weapon light.

Can I keep the Werkz claw?

Yes. Werkz says the claw pushes against your belt to secure the grip into your body; the pillow cushions the muzzle end. Adjust one at a time so you can tell what each does.

Can I move it to another holster later?

Yes. Peel it off the hook-and-loop and use a new loop strip on the next holster; extra strips are sold separately.
