Wool cover/soaker over disposable?

Hi ladies! I hope you don't get asked this a lot. I'm a regular bumpie though not on this board. The reason I'm here is because my toddler is a super heavy wetter and I can't even find a disposable that works for us at night (I special order size 7 Pampers). I remember reading about wool before but I was intimidated. 

-Can I put a wool cover over his disposable? Will that solve our problem?
-Is one enough or would I need to buy multiple?
-I understand wool needs to be lanolized every few weeks, is it difficult?
-Is there a brand that is good for toddlers yet affordable? I saw the Disana soaker on Amazon for $28 has good reviews... He's 33 pounds so either L or XL?
-Any other tips for me?

Thanks so much!

    Wool should help solve your problem because its also absorbent. So if the disposable leaked the cover would be there to continue absorbing.

    I believe many people who use wool overnight have two covers in rotation so one can dry while the other is in use. (Not sure though, as I just got my first wool order a week or so ago!)

    Lanolizing is easy, it's done when your handwashing the wool. Just emulsify the lanolin and let it soak in. Easy peasy.

    Not sure on sizing. But $28 is pretty affordable for wool. If its more than your wanting to spend you may find some used wool for a better price.

    When you say the wool needs to dry... is that when you wash it? Or daily when it gets wet? If the wool got wet overnight would it be dry by the following night?

    Thanks for your help.

    I wonder if just a regular cover would help?  We have P in sposies right now bc of some blisters on her bum, and I've been putting a Best Bottoms cover over the sposie.  It hasn't leaked yet.
