A holster wedge is a pad that mounts to the back of an inside-the-waistband holster and angles the grip into your body to cut printing and pressure. The Cloudster Pillow holster wedge mounts to any IWB or AIWB holster with hook-and-loop and has shredded cooling-gel memory-foam fill you can add or remove to set its thickness.
The Cloudster Pillow is also called a holster wedge, an appendix carry pillow or a concealed carry pillow (CCW pillow). It is a soft, adjustable wedge that reduces the printing and hot spots an IWB or AIWB holster causes.
It works on any IWB or AIWB holster, including PHLster Enigma, Tenicor, Tier 1, Vedder, Alien Gear and Crossbreed.

How to Choose Your Size
The right Cloudster Pillow depends on your setup — not a one-size rule. Before you pick, think through your body shape and size, the size of your firearm, how many attachments you run (lights or a sidecar), your holster type, and your carry position (appendix, strong-side, and so on). Read each size below and match it to your setup. For larger body frames we recommend sizing up.
Dimensions are measured flat with no fill; the pillow rounds out once filled, so the finished size varies with how much fill you add.
In the box: the Cloudster Pillow, fully packed, plus extra fill (one bag with Mini, Standard and Deluxe; two bags with Monster), an extra loop strip, an alcohol wipe, setup and care instructions and a Cloudster Pillow sticker.
Still deciding? Measure where the pillow will sit on your holster, or grab a bundle to dial in across different setups.

How to Mount the Cloudster Pillow
Holster Pillow vs Traditional Foam Wedges
Most holster wedges are solid foam or hard plastic. The Cloudster Pillow uses adjustable shredded cooling-gel memory foam in a soft fabric cover, so you can dial in the exact thickness your body and holster need.
| Feature | Cloudster Pillow | Typical Fixed Wedge |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Shredded cooling-gel memory foam | Solid foam or hard plastic |
| Adjustable fill | Yes — add or remove to dial in thickness | Typically fixed |
| Comfort surface | Soft fabric cover (bamboo on White; a cotton blend on Dark; 100% cotton on Camo) | Varies by brand |
| Holster fit | Hook-and-loop Velcro mounts to any IWB or AIWB holster | Varies by brand |
| Size options | 4 sizes (Mini, Standard, Deluxe, Monster) | Varies by brand |
From the maker. Keith, who owns Cloudster Pillow: “I have used all the other brands. The Cloudster Pillow is superior to other brands.” The reasons are the ones on this page. The fill is soft shredded cooling gel memory foam instead of solid foam or hard plastic, and you add or remove fill to set the thickness for your body and your holster. It comes in four sizes, in a soft fabric cover, and mounts with hook-and-loop on any IWB or AIWB holster. Where a hard wedge adds pressure and printing, the Cloudster Pillow is built for comfort and concealment.
Many foam holster wedges have no way to adjust the fill. The Cloudster Pillow’s shredded cooling-gel memory foam can be added or removed at any time, so the same wedge can be tuned across different holsters and carry positions. For a hands-on comparison against the closest adjustable-fill competitor, see our Mastermind Tactics Pillow vs Cloudster Pillow breakdown.
What Is a Holster Wedge?
A holster wedge is a pad that mounts to the back of an IWB holster, angling the grip into the body for better concealment and comfort. Cloudster Pillow’s holster wedge uses shredded cooling gel memory foam wrapped in a soft fabric cover; it tilts the grip in to reduce printing and cushions the holster edge during all-day appendix or IWB carry.
The pillow also works alongside a holster claw: the claw tucks the grip in from the belt, the pillow tips the muzzle out from the body side. Read holster claw vs wedge to see how they combine.
What Customers Say About the Cloudster Pillow Holster Wedge
With 500+ reviews and a 4.99-star rating, here’s what real concealed carry users say about switching to the Cloudster Pillow:
“Best wedge/pillow on the market. I’ve used [Tier] 1 Concealed and Mastermind wedges in the past and neither compare to how comfortable
this pillow is and how well it works as a wedge. Great customer service and well worth the money.”“Best wedge option. Wish I would have purchased this sooner. 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. This pillow is very comfortable due to the material and foam and helps conceal better than the other wedges
I’ve tried. 10/10, will definitely be purchasing another.”
“Best holster wedge. I’ve tried many different wedges and [these] are the most comfortable and best made. Also, their customer service is
second to none!”
“Replaced my Mastermind Tactics pillow. I finally got around to utilizing the Cloudster with my 365 Xmacro Tacops. Started out with
wedges, upgraded to the Mastermind pillow and think I’m done searching after using the Cloudster pillow. The material the pouch is made of (bamboo) is super soft and comfortable. Usually I develop a hotspot
after a long period of appendix carrying, especially in the car. Not bashing my mastermind pillow, it’s fine, but that bamboo cover of the cloudster makes it feel like I’m not carrying at all. I’m going to order
the larger version for my 2011 for my fall/winter carry. I really recommend anyone on the fence to try this. Skip the foam wedges altogether.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about holster wedges, the Cloudster Pillow, sizing, compatibility, and mounting.
What is the difference between a holster wedge and a holster pillow?

cushioning and concealment in one attachment.
What is the best wedge for appendix carry?
The Cloudster Pillow is rated 4.99 out of 5 from 500+ reviews. Its shredded cooling gel memory foam is adjustable: add or remove fill to fit your gun and holster.
Does the Cloudster wedge work with a Vedder LightTuck?
Yes. The Cloudster Pillow works on any IWB or AIWB holster, including the Vedder LightTuck. It attaches with hook-and-loop Velcro and can be repositioned for comfort and concealment.
Is the Cloudster Pillow better than the Mastermind Tactics wedge?
The Cloudster uses adjustable shredded cooling gel memory foam in a soft fabric cover; the Mastermind Tactics Pillow uses poly fill in an acrylic cover. Read the full comparison →
What size Cloudster Pillow do I need?
Cloudster Pillow comes in Mini, Standard, Deluxe, and Monster sizes. Full-size pistols like the Glock 17 fit the Deluxe or the Monster. The Monster gives more coverage. Compact pistols like the Glock 19 fit the Deluxe or the Monster. The Monster gives more coverage. Subcompact pistols like the Glock 43X fit the Standard or the Deluxe; take out some fill for a slimmer profile. The Deluxe gives more coverage. Micro-compact pistols like the Sig P365 fit the Standard or the Deluxe without a light; take out some fill for a slimmer profile. The Deluxe gives more coverage.
How do I mount a Cloudster Pillow on my holster?
The Cloudster Pillow attaches to the back of any IWB or AIWB holster with hook-and-loop. Wipe the holster with the included alcohol wipe, press the loop strip on, then press the pillow onto the strip. An extra loop strip is included, so the pillow can move between holsters you have prepped. For where to put the wedge on your holster, see our placement guide.

Cloudster Pillow
Having tried several other holster wedges, with limited comfort, I gave the Cloudster Pillow a try. This thing is amazing. All day comfort and excellent concealment. The pillow compresses to about half of the thickness in the pictures, and most importantly for me, does not have any sharp edges to poke into me. The owner is great, too! I have a spare on order already!
I’ve tried just about every wedge and pillow in the market. Wish I would have tried a Cloudster Pillow sooner because it’s simply the best.
Makes appendix carry much more comfortable. Helps with printing too by pushing grip into belly.
I was skeptical of the idea that a pillow would be a viable option for a wedge, but I’m happy to say it 100% is a great product! The wedge provides comfort and keeps my holster from digging into sensitive areas and also decreases any printing from the handle significantly. Everything you want, comfort and concealment, with something so simple and smart!
Got it for a micro CCW and with my bit of a gut i needed a wedge. All the other wedges worked like they should but they were hard and uncomfortable, thats when I stumbled apon Cloudster. Cloudster gives me all the benefits of a good hard wedge but with the versatility of being able to remove or add padding. I can add padding for my HK CC9 micro and then remove some and slap it on my full size M&P and it makes them fit like a glove! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who asks me about a wedge or asks me what thats for when pulled out
Supper comfy barley know your holster is there can wear it for multiple hours and the videos on you tube answer any questions u got delivered quick and professionally 10/10 will be buying another
