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, whether you carry on a male or female frame, the size of your firearm, how many attachments you run (spare mag pouches, carriers, lights), your holster type, and your carry position (appendix, strong-side, and so on). Read each size below and match it to your setup.
Still deciding? Measure where the pillow will sit on your holster, or grab a bundle to dial in across different setups.

Holster Pillow vs Traditional Foam Wedges
Most holster wedges are solid foam or molded rubber that ship in a single fixed size. 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 Foam / Rubber Wedge |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Shredded cooling-gel memory foam | Solid foam or molded rubber |
| Adjustable fill | Yes — add or remove to dial in thickness | Typically fixed |
| Comfort surface | Soft fabric cover (bamboo on White; cotton on Dark and Camo) | Bare foam or rubber |
| Holster fit | Hook-and-loop Velcro mounts to any flat-back IWB or AIWB holster | Varies; many are adhesive-bonded |
| Size options | 4 sizes (Mini, Standard, Deluxe, Monster) | Typically 1 size |
Most foam and rubber holster wedges ship in a single fixed size with 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 foam or rubber attachment 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 medical-grade
foam wrapped in a soft fabric cover to eliminate hot spots, pressure points, and printing during all-day appendix or IWB carry.
What Customers Say About the Cloudster Pillow Holster Wedge
With 500+ verified 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?
A traditional holster wedge is a small rubber or foam piece that angles the grip inward. A holster pillow like the Cloudster Pillow goes further by using medical-grade foam and a soft fabric cover to provide
cushioning and concealment in one attachment.
What is the best wedge for appendix carry?
The Cloudster Pillow is rated 4.9 stars and is considered the best wedge for appendix carry. Its medical-grade foam eliminates hot spots and pressure points during all-day AIWB carry, outperforming rubber
wedges from competitors like Tier 1 Concealed and Vedder.
Does the Cloudster wedge work with a Vedder LightTuck?
Yes. The Cloudster Pillow is designed to fit universal IWB holsters, including the Vedder LightTuck. It attaches securely with Velcro and can be repositioned for optimal comfort and concealment.
Is the Cloudster Pillow better than the Mastermind Tactics wedge?
Many customers who switched from the Mastermind Tactics wedge to the Cloudster Pillow report significantly better comfort. The Cloudster uses medical-grade foam with a soft fabric cover, while Mastermind Tactics
uses a firmer acrylic material. Read the full comparison →
What size Cloudster Pillow do I need?
Cloudster Pillow comes in Mini, Standard, Deluxe, and Monster sizes. The Standard fits most compact handguns, the Deluxe is ideal for full-size pistols, and the Monster provides maximum coverage for larger
setups or extended carry sessions.
How do I mount a Cloudster Pillow on my holster?
The Cloudster Pillow attaches to the back of any IWB holster using industrial-strength Velcro. Simply peel and stick the Velcro to your holster, then press the pillow into place. It can be repositioned as
needed for your preferred carry position. For tips on keeping your pillow in top shape, see our Care Instructions.

Cloudster Pillow
Main setup is a p365XL with TLR7sub and Holosun scs Carry with 2x15rd mags in a Tier 1 APX holster aiwb. Tried a bunch of wedges and never felt great. I am moving to Slimfit Carnex holsters and I find them more comfortable with a slightly thinner profile. Decided to try the standard cloud pillow on the Tier 1 holster first as that has been uncomfortable so far and just got thru day 1 all day carry. I use a Nexbelt and highly highly recommend them as well. So far, the pillow setup really does make a lot of difference. I haven’t messed with adjusting any stuffing yet. Going to try to take some out and see how slim I can get it while still being comfortable. So far. I like it a lot and will probably get 1 more after I try it a week or 2.
I just received my pillow yesterday and I have to say, I’m really impressed! Not only was this the fastest online delivery I have received but it transformed my new Tenicor Certum 4 holster into something that I will actually use.
I appreciate the effort you put into your product and it’s great quality.
I just wanted to let you know that I’m satisfied and happy I found your YouTube channel.
I love the pillow. It is a simple yet brilliant concept that makes it very comfortable.
I purchased the standard size in the bamboo fabric.
All day comfort is now a very real thing.
I am running a Walther PDP 4″ Compact in a Tenicor Certum 3 IWB holster.
I would highly recommend Cloudster and will be back to purchase more.
The comfort that this gives you, especially when crouching or sitting, can’t be praised enough. I’ve been appendix carrying for 5+ years. I’ve never felt this agile. I always caught myself avoiding crouching or picking anything up off the ground. Not anymore. I sometimes forget I have it on me. On top of the comfort, the pillow pushes the grip in and makes you print even less. If you are thinking about buying one, just do it. You will not regret it.
This is a must-have for AIWB carry. I have an anterior pelvic tilt and my stomach combined with the weight of a loaded mag pushes the gun grip outwards, causing unwanted printing. The pillow keeps the gun oriented straight up and down, as opposed to angled 45 degrees outwards above your belt. Super comfortable to wear and now I can carry the guns I want (G19, G45) without printing. Comes with extra foam so you can add or remove foam to get your desired fit.
I’m really liking the cloudster so far. It has made my edc exceptionally comfortable, especially considering I’m running a large light. Thanks for making a kick ass and affordable product.
