Which Size Do You Need?
Pick by your holster setup, not the pistol. Not sure? Standard works for the vast majority of subcompact through full-size holsters.
Tip: Measure where the pillow will sit on your holster before ordering — that’s the single best way to pick the right size.
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.
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 439+ 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
I have tried various wedges from multiple companies and the Cloudster pillow is by far the most comfortable and most versatile “wedge” for a holster that I have used. The pillow is soft both in firmness and texture The ability to add and remove the filling to customize size, shape and firmness is fantastic. The foam filling is a nice change from the materials used in other pillows of this type. It doesn’t stick to the velcro over time slowly making it unusable. All you need to do to change the direction the “wedge” rotates your holster is to change the location on the velcro strip. So far the velcro attached to the stays just where I put it even if I don’t have the entire strip engaged. Another huge benefit is the fact that I can use these pillows with multiple holsters. I bought extra velcros strips to attach the pillows to other holsters I already own and the ones I will buy in the future. Overall this is a fantastic product and I would recommend it easily.
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe • Cloudster Pillow Mini
I have them both on T1C Xiphos elite holster and I want to make it clear… THESE MAKE SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE! The amount of comfort achieved is night and day, I am a customer for life!
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe • Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
I’ve been carrying appendix for years now. And I’ve struggled with hot spots. I have spent a small fortune on different holsters and every wedge/pad you can think of, even the “top tier” ones. I finally got an axis elite holster and that helped a lot, but still had a hot spot. Then I got the Cloudster Pillow. This thing is a game changer! My setup is now as close to perfect as can be. The Cloudster literally eliminated any and all hot spots.
On top of that, I had a question and used the web sight. Kieth (I think the company owner) responded quickly and answer my question. Awesome customer service, awesome product! If you’re struggling with ccw comfort, do yourself a favor and get a Cloudster!!!
Cloudster Pillow Monster
I absolutely love this thing. Also fits on my beretta 92 holster!
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I am super happy with the pillow. It not only allows me to carry in comfort but drives great concealment for me. Even under a light tshirt or polo my pistol just disappears. I drive a bit and I can go hours with the pillow with out feeling any discomfort. I carry a Canick Mete MC9 Prime in a Pinnacle Concealment IWB holster. Here are the pics of me carrying and how my holster is setup.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
It’s been great. I carry appendix with a Glock 19.5 and the pillow tilts the top of the gun and tucks the grip into the body nicely. Plus being soft and comfortable. I found using a holster that has an off center – over the trigger belt clip works best. The holster did have a belt wing but not needed now.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I love Cloudster! This is my 4th.
Cloudster Pillow Standard • Cloudster Pillow Deluxe • Cloudster Pillow Standard • Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
I really have enjoyed your product.It is so comfortable.
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
G19 in a Darkstar Gear Orion Holster for a G17. I think i have tried the big name wedges. Even the tear drop and flat ones made out of that foam block material. The cloudster has been by far the most comfortable wedge to date. Will definitely be back for me!
Cloudster Pillow Standard
Put the mini on my dinosaur of an EDC. Super comfortable fit! Will likely use the standard for the M&P 2.0 I plan on getting soon!
