If you sleep on your back, a knee-lift pillow should prevent sliding.

 What angle wedge pillow are you using?

You can get them in 30°, 24°, 16°, and more.

I use a wedge pillow, the dimensions are approximately 7 inches high, 24 inch base with a 16° incline. I don't slide off.
30 cm high

The angle can't be determined from the height alone, but being other wedge pillows that high suggests an angle 24°. That's a lot steeper than mine. I would suggest a wedge pillow with less of an incline.
