Junk Carry Pillow (AIWB cushion)

[olgator]

I am in for a few++ on velcro top

I’d be interested in two of the pillows - ranger green or all terrain tiger preferred if it needs to be tactical. Don’t have anything in multicam black to match 😂

[Irelander]

I would buy one.

I will immediately buy a couple as well. Hell, I was going to invest in a sewing machine just to make my own...

I'm in for a few.

This may be buried in another junk pillow thread, but what is the advantage of this over a closed cell foam wedge/pad?

As conceived by @Clusterfrack and hand sewn by me:

- Adjustable poly-fil stuffing accomodates physical shape in the "crease" area, affording increased comfort since the pad fills the gap in your gentleman region
- Pillow shape allows it to "tuck" slightly under the kydex bottom of the holster, providing additional padding on that edge
- The poly-fil compresses easily and provides a very slight outer pressure on the holster body inward towards center line, reducing printing (in this aspect it is similar to a foam pad).

I find my JCP vastly superior to any foam pad I've tried.

Just to clarify, this ^^^ means I took Cluster's idea and made one to that pattern; i.e. my comments applied to the one I made, only...

Bed pillows and seat cushions are:

[Materials Science description] designed to have a similar compliance as the human body, and to have enough range of viscoelastic deformation to spread the load across an uneven surface (your body).

[Basic description] comfortable.

The problem with closed cell wedges is that they are much stiffer and can deform only a small amount. You wouldn't want to use that material as a pillow, and it wouldn't be nearly as comfortable to sit on as nice comfy chair.

The JCP also breathes much better than closed cell foam.

I'll withhold judgement until I try one out. It looks a bit bulky, but I imagine it also flattens out a good bit more than MM and other high density foams.
