Description
What Is a Holster Wedge?
A holster wedge is a foam or rubber pad that attaches to the back of an IWB holster, angling the grip into the body for better concealment and comfort. The Cloudster Pillow holster wedge uses adjustable shredded cooling gel memory foam with a breathable fabric cover, letting you customize thickness for all-day appendix or strong-side carry without hot spots or pressure points.

What Carriers Say About the Cloudster Pillow
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jose G. — Charlotte, NC: “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. 10/10.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Joe C. — Ranger, GA: “Just now changing to appendix carry after 30+ years of strong side carry and the Cloudster on my Tier1 holster has made the switch easy. Very good design, like the ability to adjust fill for comfort.”
FAQs
What makes the Cloudster Pillow the best holster wedge on the market?
The Cloudster Pillow is the #1 holster wedge thanks to its adjustable shredded cooling gel memory foam, allowing users to fine-tune thickness for maximum comfort and concealment. It works with any body type, holster type, or carry position, reducing printing and discomfort.
How does a holster pillow compare to traditional foam wedges?
A traditional holster wedge is a solid piece of foam or molded rubber in a fixed shape and size. A holster pillow uses shredded cooling-gel memory foam inside a fabric cover, so you can add or remove fill to dial in the exact thickness for your body and your holster. The pillow also gives you a soft fabric surface against your skin instead of bare foam or rubber, and it attaches with hook-and-loop Velcro so you can reposition it on any flat-back IWB or AIWB holster.
Is the Cloudster Pillow comfortable for all-day carry?
Yes! Its customizable foam fill adapts to slim, athletic, or larger body frames, ensuring all-day comfort and optimal concealment for everyone.
Will the Cloudster Pillow fit all holster types?
Absolutely. It is compatible with IWB, AIWB, OWB, hybrid and sidecar holsters, thanks to its Velcro attachment system and flexible design.
Does it work in every carry position (appendix, 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock, etc.)?
Yes. The Cloudster Pillow is designed for appendix (AIWB), hip (3 o’clock), behind the back (4 o’clock) and cross-draw positions, enhancing comfort and concealment in every setup.
When is a holster pillow a better choice than a fixed-foam wedge?
Choose a holster pillow when you want to fine-tune thickness across different holsters or carry positions, when bare foam or rubber irritates your skin during long carry, or when a single fixed thickness has been too thick or too thin for your body. If your current wedge already feels right and you don’t need to keep adjusting it, a fixed-foam wedge can still work — the pillow’s main advantages are the ability to keep tuning the fill and a softer fabric surface against your skin.

Im so so sorry it took me so long to reply, so many things came up but I finally was able to go for a drive and really see how it feels
I have NEVER been on a more comfortable drive while carrying! I do need to adjust the holster a tiny bit still but that has nothing to do with the cloudster pillow! I went for a 3 hour drive straight and it was so comfortable, I was blown away, as being a larger frame individual, its nice being able to comfortably carry while driving. Heres the photo of my rig set up!
Deluxe size pillow after I tried the standard version. Provides incredible comfort from sitting and standing all day in the barbershop with my Phlster Enigma . Best wedge ever and I’ve tried them all!
I just received your pillows and it’s only been 20 minutes or so with it on but….holy cow what a game changer Already!! I can instantly tell I’m going to love it! Thank you for creating this and using the materials that you did (it’s that kind of attention to detail that makes or breaks a product!) and can’t wait to see what else you come up with.
Ps. Thank you for the sticker!
👊🇺🇸
And the cherry on top was the super fast order fulfillment/shipping all the way across country! I’m usually not a review guy but in this case…. it deserves one! 👊🇺🇸
No buttons..check, super soft skin contact washable material..check, memory foam…check, large surface area Velcro pads..check!!! Thanks again bud and keep rocking!
Hey Keith, thanks for reaching out. I am running a Shield X carry comp in a Tulster Profile plus. I tried both the normal and mini pillows and settled on the mini for now. I just recently got my permit to concealed carry. I have been dragging my feet on this for over 20 years. So far, I’ve just been carrying around the house when I get home from work and on the weekends to get used to it. The pillow definitely helps with concealment of the grip and adding a bit of comfort. The bare holster wasn’t uncomfortable to wear but I was printing way more without the pillow. Thanks again. -Eric
The Cloudster pillow is the most comfortable wedge I have ever used I never could carry appendix without it digging into my groin so I always carried about 4 o’clock now appendix all day no problem
Honestly speaking, the Cloudster Pillow (deluxe size) truly solves my issues with all these wedges on the market currently. Every wedge I’ve tried, and I went through a spree of buying these crap wedges lol, were always super uncomfortable and didn’t help with concealment for my body type and definitely not with the clothes I choose to wear. I refuse to “dress around the gun” and a product like this makes it possible for both comfort AND concealment. Even the concept of what this product does and how it achieves its goal compared to the main competitor completely made me throw an order in so quick with y’all instead! I love my pillow so much that I bought another while one washes and an extra one for my little brother to have. He’s also coming off with grievances with a wedge he used to wear, so I’m sure he’ll also appreciate how much I fell in love with this product.
Side thing to note… the owner, Keith, is such a great dude to work with! I was having issues with the Velcro adhering properly, right away he gave his suggestions on cutting the Velcro up and place them on the flat surfaces, and soon after shipped out some new Velcro to me free of charge to replace my old ones (my pics are from before replacing the Velcro itself btw). But yeah, he’s super responsive, very helpful, and you can tell he really cares about the product he has created and how the customer feels about their purchase!
Would definitely buy from here again!!
The cloudster pillow has been a game changer in my EDC. The memory foam and the bamboo material are both great choices when they designed this product. The bamboo cloth is soft and breathable on your skin or your underwear. Then, the memory foam really helps to form to your body and really smooth out those edges on the kydex holster. If anyone is in the market for a wedge/pillow i would highly recommend this pillow as an option for your EDC.
Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp with a Gideon Pebble green dot. Xiphos Elite holster with DCC clips. And of course a Cloudster Pillow. Super comfortable and adds extra concealment. Thanks!
Finally, a way to actually carry my full-size pistol without it feeling like a brick. I had pretty much given up on this holster, but the Deluxe Cloudster pillow saved it. It’s incredibly comfortable for appendix carry, and the way it angles the grip makes concealment a breeze. No more printing, and no more ditching the holster. Highly recommended.
Before and Afters using the deluxe pillow for my slim fit 2011 holster.
This slim fit holster honestly had me regretting purchasing it – uncomfortable and printing too much. I was really thinking about just selling it until I found the pillows and slapped one on. Glad I bought the standard as well for my smaller firearms as well.
Completely changed my comfort and view of this holster
Your 7/4 sale made the wedges a great value. $25 for an all-natural bamboo wedge that’s against my body for many hours a day feels worth it. Bigger companies keep cutting corners with cheaper (possibility toxic) materials, so a well-made wedge at a fair price lines up with what I look for. That, plus I needed a second pillow for a second holster, made it an easy call. Thanks again!
It makes carry way more comfortable. Unlike other wedges that are so firn they just create a different kind pressure point. These help push the grip in and cushion the holster. I would love to see an option with a material that’s more slippery for the days when you have to take the holster on and off more than once.
Yet another Cloudster Pillow. Great as always. I have a Cloudster Pillow on all my rigs. The most comfortable way to carry by far!
And I’ve tried them all. I would recommend just getting the deluxe size if you are bigger and on the fence about comfort. Otherwise a pretty hard to beat option in the wedge market.
I own both Master Mind pillow & now Cloudster pillow. In regards to effectiveness, it is hard to determine an outright winner here because they both are extremely comfortable. They both do such an amazing job at making you forget you are carrying. Feels like the holster is just floating on you. Now, in regards to to ease of use/initial setup/filler adjustment, this is where Cloudster dominates. Cloudster clearly wins here with no questions. With the MM pillow, it is kind of a pain to setup the pillow and adjust how much filler you want in the pillow because the filler material MM uses gets everywhere, gets caught on the Velcro and the hole to put filler is so small, my fingers are not that thick and it was still annoying for me to deal with. With Cloudster, Keith (the owner) figured out how to win here in fascinating fashion, he made it extremely easy. You can set up your Cloudster pillow with your eyes closed, you definitely cannot do that with an MM pillow. In my opinion, due to the fact that Cloudster’s effectiveness is 10/10 and the ease of use is also 10/10, Cloudster is the clear winner in the battle of the pillow kings. Keith is super responsive, extremely fair prices, they take their products very seriously and I will always stand by any company who carries themselves this way.
Set up works great. The pillow wedge makes it super comfortable when sitting and does a great job as a wedge being able to add and remove the stuffing to tailor my fit was great and easy. Also the mag carrier makes carrying the mag super easy. I would sometimes IWB a spare mag but now that I can just throw it in my pocket like a pocket knife I take it everyday. Works great manner is super strong I can lift a full mag off the table from about an inch away and slides right out of my pocket with ease. Great stuff definitely would buy it all again can’t recommend enough.
Love this new addition to my EDC ! Since I wear it ALL day it’s very comfortable for appendix carry
Gun conceals better now than it ever has!
I’ve always used a tier 1 concealed wedge, but these cloudster pillows are on another level. These don’t dig in to your body like the wedges do, and it makes them so comfortable. Whoever says that appendix carrying is uncomfortable with a Kydex holster, is lying to you. Get a cloudster pillow and you won’t regret it!
The Cloudster Mag carrier works beautifully, deep concealment in pocket, easy to access magazine…
The Pillow has to be the most comfortable pillow / wedge made, I wear it all day everyday don’t even notice I’m wearing it, driving, sitting absolute comfort..
