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.”

I am using the deluxe pillow with a BraDeC holster and a PHLster enigma. Before the Cloudster pillow I was getting a hot spot or a sore spot on my inner thigh from the bottom of the holster carrying apendix. I used the larger deluxe pillow turned sideways and allowing it to hang off the bottom of the holster. This make this setup comfortable for all day use. Great product.
My first standard was really good. Purchased a second mini and some of the stitching came undone on the Velcro pretty quick. But overall the comfort of these really helps all day carry.
Sorry about that Michael, I warranty these for life and I already sent you out a replacement with tracking. No need to send the other pillow back.
Custom LTT Beretta PX4 9mm with AIWB Henry Holster. Love your product & it makes carrying a full size so much more pleasurable & able to carry all day with no issues.
I had no prior experience with EDC wedges despite concealed carry for years. I set up a Hellcat with attached light in a SwapRig holster and a M&P 40 Shield in a simple leather holster both for appendix carry. After a little trial and error I used the maximum amount of fill for both comfort and to minimize printing. I am impressed by the simple ingenuity of this product being able to modify the wedge effect simply by adjusting the amount of fill in the nylon pouch. Very comfortable in several hours of use at a time. Will definitely recommend to my friends and buy again.
The Cloudster Deluxe Pillow is a game changer. Super high quality and very comfortable for everyday carry. I will highly recommend this product to anyone. Thanks!
I have had trouble concealing since I started carrying my first gun. I now carry an Lc9S and I was still pulling my hair out trying to stop the printing. I almost spent 200 dollars on another holster thinking that was the only option left. This thing saved me on that, and kept my old Warriorland holster in the game.
Definitely impressed with the quality of craftsmanship and using memory foam is a bonus.
Works great for comfort all day even while driving! No more hot spots from the muzzle!
Got the standard white after watching a Cloudster YouTube video. It’s a great addition to my EDC rig. I carry AIWB around 11/11:30 and was having a super annoying hot spot on my inner thigh. Standard made it really comfortable and I’ve carried for hours without it bothering me. Really happy with it. Great product
Who would’ve thought a mini bamboo pillow would be so great for comfort! Cloudster has done a great job with this product. I’d highly recommend it to anyone seeking relief from uncomfortable wedges.
I have tried other wedges in the past but there was still a lot of discomfort with driving and all day wearing. I attended an all day training event that was focused on concealed carry while in a vehicle, and it covered all kinds of different scenarios that had students drawing from concealment while in a vehicle. That class was three-hours north of me, so I drove there wearing my holster with the Deluxe Cloudster Pillow AND training for 8-hours and it was very comfortable to drive in and wear for the training. I did not feel the edges of the holster digging into my pelvis at all. It was a great purchase and I’m glad I found this product.
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!
Most comfortable pillow wedge I’ve ever used. Definitely worth the money
First, just wow, this pillow is amazing. My EDC has a comfy pillow to sleep on and it rates it 5 stars!
I use BlackArch holsters which are already comfortable with their backers, but I had purchased the Cloudster Pillow Monster for other full Kydex Holsters since I am a bigger guy and sometimes after an entire day of carrying, hot spots can show up. I decided to attach this to my BlackArch and now I will NEVER go back to not using this. It is the best product I have ever purchased. Customizable fill, soft fabric, good adhesion to multiple different surfaces. Absolutely fantastic. In the photos this is adhered to a leather backer and is completely fine. Most comfortable thing I have ever worn. I sometimes forget I am even carrying haha as you can see I have a little overlap on the bottom to help when I sit. It adds an extra soft cushion between my body and the bottom of the Kydex holster. I also have extra filling in mine. What it arrived with already inside was great, but I wanted to add some more to test out varying levels of pillow thickness.
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
The Cloudster Pillow is a great product, and I can’t express how good it feels to have a good product that keeps on giving you what you need after you buy it and keep using it. There are only two things that I can say that are a con and that’s on me. I should’ve bought it sooner (I’ve had it for 8 montsh now but looked at it months before) and I should’ve got it in black. The white is great but I end up spilling stuff all the time. Whatever…It’s in my pants anyway. Thank you for a hooking us up with an outstanding support factor for concealed carry. I use it daily and just purchased another one today. God bless.
