1. An adjustable pillow comprising: a lower layer of foam; an upper layer of foam, a first end cap of foam; a second end cap of foam wherein said lower layer of foam, said upper layer of foam, said first end cap of foam, and said second end cap of foam are joined together and form a cavity therein; a plurality of individually inflatable bladders, said plurality of individually inflatable bladders positioned in said cavity; wherein each of said plurality of individually inflatable bladders has a same size and shape; wherein said plurality of individually inflatable bladders are positioned in a stack; a respective tube in fluid communication with each of said plurality of individually inflatable bladders; a pump, said pump configured, when activated, to inflate any one or more of said plurality of individually inflatable bladders to a particular pressure, to increase a height of said adjustable pillow; one or more valves, said one or more valves configured, when activated, to deflate any one or more of said plurality of individually inflatable bladders to decrease a height of said adjustable pillow; a processor and electronic circuitry configured to activate and deactivate said pump to increase the height of said adjustable pillow, and being further configured to activate and deactivate said one or more valves to decrease the height of said adjustable pillow; a communication and control module configured to control said processor to adjust inflation of said plurality of individually inflatable bladders according to a range of numeric settings, each setting corresponding to a different inflation level and corresponding height of said adjustable pillow; one or more voice activated microphones electronically coupled to said processor and electronic circuitry; wherein said communication and control module is further configured to receive a voice command received by said one or more voice activated microphones for selection of any setting from among said range of settings to adjust the inflation level and height of said adjustable pillow according to the selected setting; wherein said communication and control module is further configured to receive a voice command to assign a first setting from among said range of settings to be a side sleep position setting, and to receive a voice command to assign a second setting of said range of settings to be a back sleep position setting; wherein said communication and control module is further configured to receive a voice command of side sleep position to adjust the height of said pillow according to said first setting, and to receive a voice command of back sleep position to adjust the height of said pillow according to said second setting; wherein said communication and control module is further configured to receive data from an application on a mobile communication device, permitting a doctor to remotely monitor said inflation level for a patient with cervical injuries; wherein said communication and control module is further configured to transmit commands from the application on the mobile communication device, to control said pump to change said inflation level; a first speaker and a second speaker respectively positioned within said first and second ends caps of foam, and configured to project sound from signals received from a wired or wireless connection with one or more of: a television, and a radio; wherein said one or more voice activated microphones are configured to respond to a verbal request to turn said sound on or off; wherein said electronic circuitry is configured to turn said projected sound on or off according to the verbal request detected by said one or more voice activated microphones; and wherein said one or more voice activated microphones are configured to receive and detect snoring sounds made by a user, said processor configured to actuate said one or more valves or actuate said pump to correspondingly deflate or further inflate said pillow to make height adjustments until the detected snoring sounds fall below a threshold level.
