I’ve had mine in for about a year with no noticeable permanent compression. But they’re also ridiculously inexpensive and they usually use a Velcro system that makes them easily interchangable.
A wedge made a big difference in carrying for me with a mostly sedentary job.
Just a follow up. Mastermind tactics wedge has been great. I like that I can adjust the foam in it. It’s comfortable. I also went with a shorter holster against some people’s advice (keel principal), but it was a game changer for me. 43x JM kydex (43x length not 48) mono clips with a mastermind pillow is the most comfortable and easy to take on and off set up I’ve ever had.

It’s one of those small upgrades that changes everything. Also came across this while browsing: https://cloudsterpillow.com/”
