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.

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 400+ 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
Being a smaller build I’m very limited to what I can carry but the Cloudster Pillow is perfect for my setup. I much prefer this over the traditional wedges. Thanks so much!
Cloudster Mini pillow paired with my QVO tactical More Discrete IWB and GP Arms Forza 3.1 has made a noticeable difference in overall comfort, it helps distribute pressure and makes the setup feel more comfortable against the body and adds a soft interface without feeling bulky. It also canters the grip more inward to reduce printing. 5/5
My first purchase was a Mini, and it was a good first step, but now that I have the Standard and the Deluxe, I feel like I need to update/leave a new review. For context, I’m a bigger guy (5’7/250 lbs) and have been carrying for several years, always strong-side. I’m just now experimenting with appendix carry. I got one of the “fat guy” holsters and the Mini pillow, which I chose by simply measuring my holster. Out of the box, the Mini was already a huge improvement in comfort, but I learned quickly that I wanted to try the bigger sizes. Didn’t hesitate to order the Standard and the Deluxe, and I am not exaggerating when I say these are a TOTAL GAMECHANGER! The Standard size felt great, and is the perfect size for carrying appendix in gym/basketball shorts with a belt underneath. I found that the Deluxe is perfect for when I’m wearing jeans/pants with a belt normally. It might seem a bit counterintuitive to order a pillow size that seems larger, but Keith (the owner) says the same thing, and he’s right! I love how it compresses around the edges of the holster, making all-day carry completely comfortable. Another benefit of the larger sized pillows is the wedging effect, helping tilt the gun into my beltline and adding to overall concealment. In my 7 years of carrying, I always thought that concealment and comfort had to be a compromise…with the Cloudster pillows, I now have BOTH at the same time!
Have been using a regular foam wedge for years and have pretty much hated it from the beginning. Very uncomfortable and had spots that would get annoyed from wearing it. Was so frustrated I gave myself excuses to just not wear it. Stumbled across a Cloudster Pillow video on YouTube a few weeks ago so decided to order one. Very affordable and worth trying I figured. Shipping was fast and arrived in a couple days. Pillow is very adjustable as you can remove cooling memory foam from it if its too big. He includes extra foam in separate pack but its absolutely stuffed to the gills which I appreciated so I could adjust it to my liking and it’s not like they’re trying to short you to make you buy extra. This Pillow is worth every dollar, plus some! I’m finally wearing my holster again without any excuses. Thank you for making EDC comfortable!
I could not be happier and appreciative at the service and extra mile you went to accommodate my situation. It truly is the best wedge pillow two in one in the game right now hands down. The comfort and softness is unmatched and Ive had my share of different brands. The deluxe bamboo pillow is also extremely comfortable after an eight hour shift and construction it is dry and not damp like other brands I’ve tried. Thanks again, Keith.
Love the pillow, makes EDC a breeze. Need to grab another for my larger carry. The mag holder is genius too
