My baby boy got a wedge for his reflux that was made by an occupational therapist at the Outpatient Pediatric Therapy Services at Swedish Hospital. My pediatrician had to call in the prescription, and then they made it for him. And I came in with baby, and they made sure it fits. This is the wedge that we got (we put receiving blankets and burp cloths on it:

You probably need one from the occupational therapist. They have straps to keep the baby from slipping. The ones I've seen (and I haven't looked recently) are just wedges that they can scooot off of. You can also try propping one end of the crib with books or put something under the mattress.
I have a large foam wedge that was a bumpie hand-me-down (from Jill, I think, to someone else, to me). I just re-discovered it in my den. You're welcome to it. Let me know.
