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 bamboo cover to eliminate hot spots, pressure points, and printing during all-day appendix or IWB carry.

“Best wedge/pillow on the market. I’ve used Teir 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 ive tried. 10/10, will definitely be purchasing another.”

“Best holster wedge. I’ve tried many different wedges and there 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.”
