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.”

A Smith & Wesson M&P Shield X Carry Comp Performance Center with a Streamlight TLR 7 sub and Holosun EPS-CARRY-GR6 in a 4BROS appendix holster with the standard Cloudster cushioning the setup! The magnet magazine carry is perfect. I don’t often carry an extra magazine, really only when I go to church, so this magazine carry was a perfect addition! Fits the extra 13 round Shield X magazine great!
I added the deluxe Cloudster Pillow pad to my inside the waistband Alien Gear holster, and the comfort is perfect. When carrying I am just as concealed as I had been before, but it is infinitely more comfortable, especially when carrying concealed all day. No more hip fatigue! I also added a pocket magazine magnetic holder, which gives me easy access to a second magazine, and it’s also very comfortable. I am so happy with these Cloudster products!
This is working great for me! Definitely a huge improvement in comfort, plus a bit of improved concealment with the slight wedge effect. My only mistake was not following the owner’s advice on the webpage (they advised ordering two different size pillows at once, even had a good deal on it) and sticking with just the “mini” size pillow for my Springfield Hellcat. The pillow fits my holster as advertised and based on measurements, but I kind of want to try the next size up, the “standard” one. Either way, I’m still pretty darn happy with mine!
Hands down the best product of its kind on the market and will definitely buy again, thanks Keith.
Got my cloud about a week ago and immediately started using it. Extremely comfortable to wear all day for me. It’s way better than any other wedge/pillow Ive used so far.
I carry a S&W Shield X in a Tenicor Certum 4 Lux. It is already a really comfortable holster, but I carry appendix and I wanted to have more cushion because I do my best to carry every day. I’ve looked at other options for some sort of wedge or pillow, but after seeing some reviews on YouTube, I figured I should try what people are saying is the most comfortable pillow wedge.
This pillow does two things for me. It for one makes carrying much more comfortable because of the padding just under my beltline, but it also rotates my iron sights and grip into my body, and that combined with the camming bar on my holster, results from a practically invisible setup. I have to pull my shirt into my body to see any sort of printing, granted I am tall and lean but nevertheless, I love this pillow wedge, and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking at it.
Love the standard size pillow for my g19. Tons of extra fill makes this a great value and it’s super comfortable.
The Hellcat pro isn’t a large pistol but the pillow keeps it tight against my body and definitely improves comfort when I’m stuck on the 405.
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.
