Update: I definitely ordered the right size pillowcase because the day before this video went live I received the correct size case. They did not let me know they were adjusting the error but I got my case!
The Pillow Cube is the pillow for side sleepers and they have pelted me with their fabric-covered foam ads.

My neck, my back, my alignment's out of whack. An opportunity was missed here.
had the same thought!
You're amazing
Yep Yep... Thought the same thing !! And thought of the option to then put the other part of that verse back in place at the end after Whack !!! Lol
DAMNIT! I thought i was original and then I scrolled down. But truly, I agree.
@@krissydiggs well it turns out I'm not original either but at least great minds think alike!
Swell: “I keep getting up in the middle of the night. Dunno why.”
Also Swell: “I am a coffee connoisseur.”
😂😂
Also Swell: "I'm going to sleep on a pillow shaped as a cube."
It's not necessarily the caffeine... I can drink a Kickstart 2 hours before bed and sleep just fine. I found the culprit was that I had trained myself to wake up at several set times during the night by always looking at the clock. I was also keeping myself awake at times by obsessing over how late it was, what time I had to get up, and getting to a cycle of anxiety over having not fallen asleep. So I had to hide the alarm clock from view. It took a couple weeks, but I finally broke the habit of waking up every other hour.
Another problem can be interrupted sleep cycles. White or Pink noise reduces interruption and a sleep tracker can help wake up from the end of a cycle, when you're in stage 1, instead of in the middle of a rem cycle or stage 4.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 Also anxiety
Idk about that, I drink two 300 mg energy drinks plus dry scoop pre-work out and I never wake up through out the night, not even too pee and my bladder is full as heck when I wake up, so that's probably not it
honestly i think amanda is just protecting her true identity by saying she's 5'2'' and from the US. that's okay, amanda, you wonderful 5'7'' canadian, we accept you in whatever way you want us to.
This comment ^ 😂

I can literally hear the vowel shift wtf
Wait, I really am a 5'7 Canadian!
I don’t get the joke
"My neck...my back...my alignment's outta whack!" Ah, the kidzbop version.
*golf clap*
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
What song did she think of? I don't get the same exposure to US music.
@@thekidfromcanada It's a very explicit song called "My neck, My back" by Khia...you have been warned
I knew the song she was thinking about but I don't even remember the rest of the song
It's nice to hear from other side sleeping, arm under the pillow, wake up multiple times in the night sleepers. Makes me think I'm not so weird. Or the both of us are really weird.
I think we’re all weird
I dont do the arm thing.
This was me. After doing a lot of research, which included the pillow cube, I went with the high loft purple harmony. $159. My wife thought I was crazy but I asked her what is a good sleep worth? No lie that pillow knocked me out. Best pillow I've ever had as a side sleeper, wake up all the time guy. And I've tried a loooot of them.
I have to sleep with my arm under my pillow but i sort of sleep on my stomach a bit
I do the side sleeping with the arm under the pillow stuff, too! A good pillow, a weighted blanket, a good alarm, and a good sleep schedule solved the night wake ups for me.
"I slept on it with the pillowcase because I'm not a heathen" not even 30 seconds later "I wonder if you can tell there's peanut butter on this pillow?"
I see what you did there👁👁
😂😂
I'm a "if I've been in this position more than 5 minutes I'm very uncomfortable and need to turn over" kinda sleeper 🤣
@Caleb Landry same it keeps opening up after I reset my pc for some reason tho any help?
Trying to sleep well for your job is such a God level move what the fuck am I doing
BRO go sleep so you can make some more kickass videos! I've got your latest downloaded and ready to get me through inventory later.
Well after your 48 minute rant on Bridgerton you deserve a good night of sleep my dude
There’s a whole thing about this pillow coming smelling like peanut butter so it’s funny you got pb on yours

@@antqueen2437 yup
I mean she probably just assumed she got peanut butter on it, right?
Really? That would be fine with me, I love peanut butter!

*Amanda getting sidetracked by her sleep fears at the start*
Me: *fully invested in her plan to jump out the window* 👀
You listen to it then think at how your own bed is setup, like... Yup, near the window and facing the door
Yep when I first got divorced.
I have lived in this house for ages
I slept downstairs on the sofa
Because you know reasons
Instead of a bed, I have a small, comfy couch that I sleep on. Not only does it make more space in my room, but it makes it super easy to sleep with my back to the window whilst facing my door.
7 minutes in, never seen someone so giddy to sleep except kids at a sleepover who are absolutely not going to bed once mom leaves the room
right it felt like i was at a sleep over wit her
😂 666 comment - I am the devil
@@sonorasgirl you mean 666 like?
Lol when you get old..... you will get excited for sleep as well... when I turned 14 about 27 years ago something in my brain chemistry changed and instead of needing 8 hours of sleep my body will shut itself down... almost like hibernation and I will end up sleeping a minimum of 16 hours in a 24 hour period of time... my doctors told me its absolutely normal for my health issues but there are days when 16 hours is not enough and my body will send me into sleep comas where 24 hours of sleep will turn into 2 or 3 days straight and nothing will wake me up..... not noise or people not even my bladder lol.... but I actually love sleeping more than anything!!!
The idea of having night terrors but also being too anxious to not have your back to the door sounds like it could’ve produced some terrifying dreams where you saw someone standing at your door and I am stressed on your behalf
That's exactly what happens in my sleep paralysis. And you're right they're both terrible but looking at the door is like, slightly less frightening in a weird way.
I'm the absolute opposite. It's like I still buy into the idea if I don't turn over and look whatever scary thing I "sense" it can't hurt me.
Shadow Demon: "muwahaha, I'm gonna scare the shit of her."
Also Shadow Demon: "Damn it, she's under the covers." Or "Shit. Her eyes are closed. My ONE WEAKNESS!"
Consequently, I recently watched ManlyBadAssHero play through a game called "(Don't) Open Your Eyes" about this person having a conversation with his/her own shadow-demon-thing and it scared me more than any other horror movie or game before because of how accurate it was.
I bury myself in a mound of pillows and blankets. If the sleep paralysis demons can't see me, then they can't get to me. Right?
If I face the wall, I hear my sleep paralysis demons instead of seeing them, then it's harder to remind myself they're not real but I still can't move.

“My neck. My back. My alignments out of whack”

Dead
Aaahahah this is life.
I bought an fancy ergonomic pillow for side of back sleeping 2 years ago. It has grooves for either way of sleeping that seem much more ideal than a cube. It has led to a major improvement in my migraines. It cost $30.
That pillow + weighted blanket gives me great sleep
Inquiring minds want to know what pillow that is 👀
TravelEase Contour Memory Fiam Pillow - the "butterfly wings" shaped cervical pillow. 3/4 of my migraines are due to issues in my cervical vertebrae. This pillow took a week or 2 to get used to, but really helped with neck and shoulder strain
Fun Fact: Nightmare was originally the word for the sleep paralysis spirit that sits on your chest. Now it's just bad dreams in general
I know this video is about the pillow and not your sleeping habits, but you should get tested for sleep apnea at some point because I’ve always dealt with sleep paralysis and waking up all through the night and it turns out it was just, y’know, the fact that I’d randomly stop breathing 🤪
That would make sense with the fear of a monster sitting on her chest - brain trying to make sense of why breathing isn't happening. :(
You can also end up training yourself wake up at specific times during the night if you're someone that automatically checks the clock. Having a TV in your room is also detrimental to your sleep cycle.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 having like the tv on while sleeping or just the tv in your room in general?
The emoji makes this so much better😭
As a side sleeper the best thing I ever did was start sleeping with a pillow between my knees, I haven't woken up with back pain in years. Everyone I tell about it comes back and thanks me lol.
Can confirm - and when you’re on your back, having a pillow under your knees
Mine always slides out 😔
@@BrookeKnits try a full body pillow, I got one at Walmart for $15 or so, they're fun to snuggle lol
@@lShishkaBerryl Pillow between knees. Another pillow for hugging. It keeps the shoulders from folding in.
i end up being big spoon with my bf so that has helped me 😂

"Run it over with dynamite" is my new favorite phrase
I didn’t even process the issue with that phrase until I read this comment asthcjckck
Don't you hate it when you run something over with dynamite?
Lol
The profile picture makes this even better
you could make t shirts that say "My Alignment is Out of Whack" That goes for a lot of us.
I feel like you could make a killing if you sold a Rae Dunn style mug with the single word “SWELL” on it
This was a whole journey.

not to b a lesbian but amanda giggled so much in this video n it was adorable 😳
Lesbian is alright
the unhinged energy in this video was absolutely adorable, you’re so right
You do you!
I'm in love with her too. My husband best watch his back 😅
not to be bi but i noticed this too!!! 🤭
You got the long version. That one is designed for side sleepers that roll around at night. The pillow case is designed for the standard cube, thus the size issue 😅
If anyone else is a side sleeper, I would highly recommend you try out a buckwheat pillow. It's a weird change the first couple of nights, but after that, you will never want another pillow ever again.
Hmmmm, I'm a side sleeper. Saw a buckwheat pillow just recently at an Ollie's near me and thought about buying one. Glad I saw this comment.
I can't wait for Amanda's Foam Furniture to be added to the merch store.
Ok I have questions about you sleeping facing the door. I sleep not facing the door because I'm terrified of seeing something in the doorway. I would rather die not knowing what was coming
I'm the exact same way, I'm always facing the wall and if something comes for me so be it.
Same
i have to sleep on the side of the bed that is closest to the door. i didn't realize this was the case until i was 23. i turn back and forth but my side of the bed is always the door side... but it might be out of convenience? so funny how so many of us have such particular sleep-to-door situations lol
I kinda try not to look anywhere so I’m slowly becoming a back sleeper
I think it's just subconscious. Like whether you sit with your back to a door. It's generally a binary choice, and people like being in a team or group.
I spent several years trying to stop waking up without a stiff neck (I am a side and stomach sleeper). Turns out, the best pillow ever was a new mattress. Now the last lot of pillows I bought are actually fine!
I love how she keeps in her laughing fits, just adds to the entertainment of the video
ok but i am LIVING for the moments where amanda is so giddy at her own jokes it was so funny omfg
Why did I laugh at "my neck, my back," before Amanda 😭😂😂
I "fell for" the adds for this as well and got the more expensive longer one. I used it for a while and wasn't thrilled with it. I might have gotten one that was too thick for me. I then got a shredded memory foam pillow that you can add and remove the stuffing till its right, and that has been the best. Then I started using the cube for a hugging pillow, and its kind of the best hugging pillow I've ever used, because its thick, and doesn't go flat like a pillow with stuffing. Its too expensive for a hugging pillow, but I feel better that I'm still using it.
Seeing Amanda laugh at her own jokes provides so much serotonin to me
The best side sleep I've ever gotten is with a $5 Ikea Kids pillow shaped like a pink tiger. All my neck pain gone lol.
What about the purple pillow? The fact that its one way only seems kinda weird.
that's the original. they have the plush and harmony ones now. and honestly the harmony Pillow is fuckin great, I'm laying on it right now lmao. you can flip it!
You should watch Freakin’ Reviews he did a pretty comprehensive pillow review on the most popular ones including the purple pillow
Wait how'd you post this 22 hours ago?
@@SCIFIguy64 patreon :)
I have the purple pillow and I don't enjoy it for side sleeping
There’s an asian superstition that sleeping with the door near your bed makes it possible for your soul to leave your body and walk out of the door without coming back
I sleep on my stomach (with my face turned to my side). Its probably a miracle I'm not crippled with back pain
I sleep the same and have no back/neck issues either.
My fiancé did for years, but around turning 30 he started having persistent neck pain made worse by sleeping on his stomach. Driving long distances made his pain worse but it was there regardless.
He never had pain until then, but once it was an issue, it didn’t really stop. We’ve been training him to side sleep with a pillow tied to his stomach and back. 😂
Fun fact, it’s healthiest for long term brain function to side sleep. Your lymph nodes drain more efficiently in that position and the sort of... general housekeeping of the brain is more efficient. Over the years There’s more to do, and as you get older it’s more important to side sleep. There have been some recent articles about it that are interesting, at least showing a link with less frequency of Alzheimer’s or milder symptoms in side sleepers.
Everyone wants to find a comfortable way to sleep, and some things just FEEL unnatural. But... just thought I’d make sure you knew. 🤷🏻♀️ Good luck and good dreams. 🌷
Normally I don’t feel emotional attachment to youtubers but damn the parasocial relationship is strong with this one 😆
I only sleep on my back when I'm in physical pain. Any other time I sleep on my side, so I can curl up and cry due to emotional pain instead.
Lol... probably the most relatable post. Except for when my Endometriosis is kicking my ass, I sleep flat on my stomach with the heating pad under my lower abdomen. Yes, I know thats a good way to end up with burns but, in the moment, I don't care. Burns would be an improvement.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 This is me right now, I love burning myself with my electric blanket and hot water bottle, only way to survive. Love endo! 🙃
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 same!
Didn't expect to hear "Am I more than five inches?" in this, but here we are.
consider your self lucky with the ads I would take repetitive pillow cube and dr squatch ads over having to ever see the zupoo guy and his "did you know you have 2 to 5 pounds of toxic poop" line or the mud water douche any day of the week
toxic poop?????
Omfg the toxic poop guy ugh I just scream that’s not how that works every time
Girl, they definitely sent you the pillowcase for the small cube LOL Oh nooooo.
I'm 60 seconds in and, oh lord, is that relatable! Perhaps side sleepers have a subcategory - The Door Watchers.
we're a small community but a strong one
I vaccilate between the two. Needing to see the door bc anxiety and needing to have my back to it for reasons unknown
Thanks to Amanda, I've found my people.
When Amanda said “I don’t want to see things sitting on my chest,” I felt that 😂
amanda i promise this isn’t meant to be weird but your laugh sparks so much joy
I'm also a side sleeper with neck problems, and honestly one of the best pillows is the ergonomic one from IKEA Rosenskarm for $15. You put the higher side under your neck and it gives great support, there's good firmness. Try it out and maybe compare it to the cube.
🎶My neck, my back, my alignment's out of whack🎶
"It was just kind of existing" gives me the "he was there" vibes in Drew n Danny's Jeremy Renner video
🎶My neck, my back
My alignment's out of whack🎶
So, I bought this pillow. And thanks to you, I measured my neck/shoulder before purchasing. I'm 5'4" but so glad I got the 6 inch. I've slept with it for a week and my pain is gone. I get the deepest sleep I've ever gotten. Your review really helped me take the plunge.
I love how you’re more goofy and fun in this video it’s so refreshing
seeing the ad for the cubed pillow i thought "wait- so its just like a traditional korean pillow then-" bc traditonal korean pillows, some of them are shaped in cube form
PLEASE more pillow reviews! I'm a side sleeper too and it's hard to find reviews I can trust y'know
I appreciate the fact that you can tell your laughter is never fake and always genuine
I'm a "all over the damn bed even on my D cups/stomach" sleeper
Sadly makes me not the target audience so I'm here for the juicy review
Came here for the review, stayed for Amanda's adorable giggles
Yes!! So glad you tried this out; I've been seeing their ads everywhere
I recommend Korean pill shaped pillows for side sleepers. They're usually filled with like barley or beans or whatever. Only like $30. They're pretty firm and comfortable.
"my back, my neck" stops to prevent yourself from laughing while we all giggle with the song now playing in our head
I know this isn't the 18th century and things evolve. But at that price that pillow better make me breakfeast because I'm just flat out Baroque.
Nice
Amanda being so happy to review a pillow is exactly what I needed today ❤️
Your laugh is INFECTIOUS, This video brought the biggest smile to my face just hearing you laugh and joke around ♡
"My neck.. My back... *bursts out laughing*", If your brain DIDNT go there, I would have questioned you more.
I always thought I was a side sleeper, until I got a fitbit and found out that I toss and turn every 20 minutes. I don't even move when I'm sleeping next to someone else.
It explains why I wake up with a missing pillow, sheets, and articles of clothing.
I love how much you laughed in this episode! It's clear you are having the time of your life, and it made me have time of my life watching this vid!
I've owned one of these for about a year now and it's completely gotten rid of beck pains when I start my day. The important part is to find a position where your neck actually goes into rest.
So thankful I haven’t had to see a single ad on a TH-cam video in like 5 years
Now you need to try the expensive pillow that’s made for side sleeping AND putting your arm under your head. It’s 2 piece. One is a big wedge, the other is a human sized candy cane shape. My mom has some. No clue how they work, just know she paid $300 for them.
I’ve seen that one. Tried to 4get it existed when I saw the co$t
Are you talking about the MedCline Shoulder Relief System? Lol.
@@KirstenMarie_MS3 yes! I asked my mom the name of them earlier! She thought I was asking bc I wanted to buy one and lmk she had a third one still in the box that I could have, so I’m going to get to try it out myself. Haha 😆
Listening to you describe why you sleep the way you sleep is the most relatable thing.
The giggle fits in this made me happy, I'm so glad I came across your channel!
5:05 “it’s not uncommon for We to wake up” Swell Entertainment hive mind confirmed?
Sleeping on your back invites the sleep paralysis demons in.
Thanks that was really helpful while I go to sleep tonight on my back :)
But I like them
It’s so funny you brought it up, I’m also a side sleeper *because* I struggled w sleep paralysis and night terrors as a kid and learned to adapt by not laying on my back. Not a fan of demons laying on my chest while I’m tryna get some sleep. Always saw this pillow and was curious. You rock, Amanda ✨🙏🏻
I love the changes in the video between regular Amanda and tired Amanda
Honestly, I love my pillow cube. My neck problems pretty much went away after using it a lot, since I'm more of a side sleeper.
Omg I thought I was the only one that HAS to sleep facing the door
This review and your laughter were just chef's kiss perfection.
I love it when she laughs at herself! So real
“Run it over with dynamite!” Is what I’m going to say to do to everything I even mildly dislike from now on.
I’m a side sleeper and I stack three pillows and I have a winter blanket folded underneath that and I have a body pillow. Can guarantee that this ain’t for me because I like a firm pillow.
the vibes in this video are unhinged, also your giggle is adorable!
Im just enjoying Amandas laughter in this entire ep its so contagious and cute 😂
Kinda funny you got peanut butter on the pillow because I’m pretty sure Drew Gooden mentioned in his video that some reviews said the pillow smells like peanut butter :D
Love the Freddy cameo!! A fun crossover between Amanda's content and all the niche plant content I've been watching lately lol 👀
I've been using the same pillow cube she got for several months now and I still really love it. if you're looking to buy a pillow that works well for side sleepers and the price doesn't bother you it's a WORLD of a difference from say target pillows. (regular pillow covers do fit the long ones as a side note. Not like perfectly, but well enough enough.)
amanda giggling throughout this video over silly things is giving me an incredible amount of joy - thank you
I use a Tempurpedic knock-off brand pillow. I really like it, but it cost about 30% of what that pillow costs. Makes me wonder why they priced it so high....
Because it's a niche product and the only one of its kind.
This thing is better than tempurpedic pillers tho.
They priced it so high so they could eventually run "amazing" 50% off promos and still make a killing. So a mix of greed and marketing strategy.
@@dildonius its hardly niche, its just a square cube of memory foam which has existed well before the pillow cube
@@mothmadi_ It's literally the only pillow shaped that way. Also it's more than memory foam.
@@dildonius apparently not, because there is a knock off brand
I’m so glad someone else has that weird anxiety about sleeping while looking at the door and near to window I honestly thought it was just me
Nah, apparently it's common. When i had my first boyfriend, my mum even told me that for a healthy relationship, the women should always sleep on the side of the window, turned towards the door, so that in case of invaders the man can protect her and she can run.
Man, we have made some serious progress in gender roles in the last 15 years, she wouldn't about saying something like that today 🤣🤣
It's fucking adorable to watch you giggle🥰
Thanks for the content!
I recently home- made a version of this by stuffing two Tempur Pedic pillows in the same pillowcase. It changed my life I love it.
I’m simping hard for Amanda-good lord she’s so pretty even just out of bed!! Loved the vid
Good Lord get a room
Amanda your personality has come out so much more and watching you lose it over your own jokes is so funny to watch
Amanda you feel like a friend just talking shit with ya about everyday things that piss us off and I am here for it. Lol So glad I found your channel. 💕
Thank you for doing this video! I twist and turn a lot in bed, but I sleep on my side quite a bit and have terrible shoulder/neck pain constantly. I was probably never going to buy one because of the cost, but it's good to hear an honest review from someone with the same issues as me.
I honestly thought you were like 5'9" and that's a compliment. Donna from That 70s Show vibes
No joke this is one of your most entertaining reviews to date, idk why you keep giggling but it’s very funny
Your energy is everything! ✨
I have been waiting for a review of this pillow THANK YOU
