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.
Cloudster Pillow White Holster Wedge
The Cloudster Pillow White Bamboo Series IWB holster wedge offers enhanced comfort and superior concealment for holsters and attachments. It delivers unmatched comfort and functionality, featuring a plush bamboo fabric for a cloud-like feel and exceptional breathability. Designed to keep you cool, its soft, plush surface enhances comfort while maintaining durability. Available sizes in Mini, Standard, Deluxe and now MONSTER, these pillows cater to a variety of needs. The Mini is perfect for narrow holsters, small attachments like magazines or pepper spray, and works well as a secondary or wedge pillow. The Standard size is ideal for most holsters, from subcompacts to full-size models, providing excellent versatility for everyday use. For larger holsters, light-bearing models, or wider setups, the Deluxe delivers maximum support and coverage. Whether you need compact precision, all-around adaptability, or oversized comfort, the White Bamboo Series combines luxury and performance.

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.”

This is a great purchase, I was hesitant at first thinking it might be too bulky and make carrying everyday uncomfortable but it’s made me actually want to carry everyday with how comfortable this makes it. I will definitely be buying the larger size in the future for a sidecar holster.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
Decided to try a deluxe pillow for my XD Mod 3 in a sidecar holster with my Kore belt. It really doesn’t print much as before and is definitely more comfortable without the kydex digging into me. The t-shirt I’m wearing in this example is purposely not the most optimal one I would use for concealment but it still works pretty well.
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
Ive added the pillow to my edc about 4 months ago and its held up well and very comfortable.
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
The Cloudster pillow wedge is super comfortable, stays cool all day, and effectively reduces printing by pulling the grip in tight. The Velcro keeps it secure, and the extra fill lets you customize the fit perfectly. Great upgrade for all day carry! Just what I needed, thanks
Cloudster Pillow Essentials Carry Bundle (Mini + Standard + Deluxe)
One of the most comfortable wedge pillows I’ve ever used. And their customer support is outstanding. I give you five stars. I am going to order a couple of more. In the next week. Thanks again for some of the best customer service I have encountered in a while.
Cloudster Pillow Monster
The Cloudster pillow is working out great. No more hot spots.
Cloudster Pillow Mini
I have the standard size wedge. What stands out the most is how comfortable it feels whatever position i’m in. Also ease the pressure points and helps with draw. very functional. thank you! and God bless you sir!
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I’m really happy with this pillow wedge. It works exactly how I expected it to—helps push the grip in closer to my body and makes concealment noticeably better. On top of that, it’s surprisingly comfortable, even for extended wear. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Super responsive and helpful, which always makes a difference.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
It’s comfortable and helps with printing a lot. I bought the standard white bamboo and deluxe. I run a light on my Canik Prime. The deluxe will catch the edges that are digging in. Even the standard size has helped more than the wedge I had on it. I carry a full size Canik TTI combat but I carry it outside the waistband in winter. The pillow has definitely changed my AIWB for sure though. I really was about to give up on it until the pillow. It’s the best position to carry in my opinion but it was just doing too much damage until this product or until I found this product.

I picked up the Cloudster Pillow to help with some printing issues, and it works exactly as advertised. It effectively pushes the grip of my Sig P229 closer to my body, which makes a massive difference for concealment while carrying appendix. Even better, it acts as a soft buffer that stops the holster from digging into me throughout the day. If you carry AIWB, this is a must-have.
Cloudster Pillow Deluxe
But I came across videos comparing and showing the uses with different sizes from Cloudster.
I have to say it has been a life changer for me. Regardless of what iwb holster I use it is real comfortable.
Comfort is what makes me want to carry daily and these are it.
God Bless and thank you.

Cloudster Pillow Essentials Carry Bundle (Mini + Standard + Deluxe)
It makes carry AIWB so comfortable. Before was miserable carrying appendix but with the Cloudster Pillow is easy and comfortable now. So happy to have found something so reliable and comfortable at a great price. Will be ordering again and will recommend 2 thumbs up to anybody interested. Makes carrying my staccato c2 with SRO and Surefire XC3 and my G48 with tlr6 and esp carry conceal and wear so comfortable AIWB. Love your product and wish I know about you and bought sooner.

I’m using the phlster enigma with a S&W 1911 E-series SC and your pillow helps a lot while deep concealing. The experience as a customer with you and your product has been amazing! Yeah it’s a big one but I think if you’re gonna carry a commander 1911 this one is one of the best with the scandium and rounded bobtail. Yeah it’s nice even with a tight t-shirt and sweatpants.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I bought the “monster” size cloudster pillow. I gotta say awesome product! Paired with my T1 concealed APX AIWB holster I’ve never been more comfortable. I love the size and the ability to add or remove the memory foam. The width helps avoid hot spots I would normally get from other wedges. I also love the ability to add or remove foam daily based on how im feeling that particular day. Being in hawaii other wedges would trap moisture and it would be a pain having to adjust my holster to let that part of my body breathe. But with the cloudster pillow I can set it and forget it. I’ll definitely be picking up one of every size to try to see if I can get my rig even more comfortable! Again, AWESOME product. Mahalo from Hawaii!
Cloudster Pillow Monster
I carry a full size XD 4″ Service Model. Everyone including myself has posted about how awesome these pillows are, there really is nothing better for comfort and concealment. As for sizing, there really isn’t much difference between the standard and deluxe size, they are just slightly different. I can’t tell which is which unless they are side by side. The camo is the deluxe and the bamboo is the standard. Now the Monster size is huge and a very big difference in size. If you’re not sure what size to get in the smaller sizes, I’d recommend the Deluxe since it’s only very slightly bigger than the standard but will provide a bit more surface area to spread out the pressure of your gear. With either the standard or deluxe, you may have to fiddle with positioning and fill amount to get it just right. However, if you get the Monster there is no fiddling, it is a massive pillow that requires no fiddling with position, it will just work. My ultimate recommendation would be to get both the Monster and Deluxe, that way you can be sure you’ll have the perfect pillow for you and won’t have to make multiple orders if it’s not quite right. If you can only get one, then the Monster would probably be your best bet because there is no doubt it will work and no fiddling required.

It is the most comfortable wedge I’ve ever used. I typically carry a G19 at about 230. The cloudster significantly reduces the felt pressure on my hip. There was a problem with the shipping. It was no fault of cloudster. However, the owner hustled to make it right and reshipped my order. I eventually got both orders. I decided to keep both because 1. It is a good product and 2. I was impressed with the owner’s effort to make it right. I want to support people like that and I wish him much success with his business.
Cloudster Pillow Standard
I was very skeptical when ordering the Monster size pillow for my full size 4” Springfield XD Service Model. I thought there was no way I could stick such a large couch cushion size pillow in my pants. I mean, it is so big it is almost comical. However, I stopped laughing when I did stick it in my pants. I stood there dumbfounded as I could not feel my firearm or holster at all. It felt just like I had a semi firm pillow in my pants. It also pushed my whole grip and slide into my belly, almost as if it was 3d printed into my belly. There is absolutely zero printing, the firearm becomes part of my body. Where the grip and slide sits up against, pressed into, my stomach is completely comfortable and feels very natural. I took a short walk and all I feel is a pillow in my pants, it does feel a bit odd at first and will take some getting used to. I could also remove some fill to make it less firm. However, straight out of the box, without removing any fill, it just works. Now, the Monster size is total overkill and the pillow is bigger than my entire holster, but there is zero fiddling with position to get it just right. I just slapped it on and bang, it works. I cannot tell or feel that I am wearing a full size XD, it just feels like I got a little cushion in my pants. I wear baggy loose fit jeans, so there is a slight “Hey ladies” bulge in my crotch area but I consider that an added bonus. So if you want a pillow that you don’t have to mess with, and you know it will work for sure, get the Monster. If you’re not sure and you don’t want to attract too much attention from the ladies, maybe get both the Monster and Deluxe, so you could size up or down depending on how frisky you feel that day. No other wedge or pillow type thing can compete with the Cloudster, I’m a true believer now.
Cloudster Pillow Monster
I have been using this cloudster holster pillow for a few months now and constantly. Whether I’m at work having to bend, flex, reach, and anything else you can think about, (I work as an commercial electrician for reference) or doing weekend errands it not only conceals effortlessly under only a t shirt but it also makes AIWB carrying SIGNIFICANTLY more comfortable, in fact I’m certain I’ll never carry without one again. Also, I absolutely love the fact that not only does cloudster drastically increase comfort but also acts like a wedge so I don’t have to worry about a holster claw which can be annoying! But with this just simply stick it on and go, absolute effortless comfort/concealment at last.
