Need overnight suggestions

Babies are 4 months old and are starting to soak through some nights. I'm looking for suggestions for how to get through 12-13 hours for heavy wetting/ breast feeding babies.
We currently have workhorses and mother ease sandy diapers in various sizes, multiple doublers (mostly hemp). One baby is in wool at night due to some rash issues. I've tried adding multiple inserts but it doesn't seem to help (I think it makes the legs gap, esp with the wool cover which isn't real tight).
Any ideas? I'm trying 2 diapers tonight (med workhorse under large sandys under wool) is that a reasonable approach?
Any thoughts on whether sbish would absorb more (enough more to justify the cost)?

Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!
I've heard some people put the insert/ doubler on the outside of the fitted but inside the cover. That way you still have a snug fit with the workhorse.
If you use a wool cover at night does it need to be washed after one night then re-lanolinized (sp?). Or does it get multiple uses?
I'd love to hear more opinions on the sbish and if they're really worth it (we have a few in XL from our older child and I don't 'love' them- mainly because of the price tag, but it also seems harder to get stains out of them than the cotton).
For the baby who isn't in wool, we use blueberry coveralls or thirsties sz 2 duo. As I think about it, some of our issue is definitely that the wool cover isn't tight enough to hold everything where it needs to be. I'll try putting inserts outside the fitted for the one in PUL, but I don't think it would work with the wool.
To answer the question about wool- I'm becoming a fan (except for above issues). We wash them every few wks (or sometimes less). The breathability definitely helps with rashes.
I use a mother ease fitted bamboo with a thirsties hemp insert. We wake up happy and dry. But I want to add wool to make it bulletproof when he's older.
Assunta also makes cheap bamboo fitteds.
Now I just need to find something that's less cumbersome.
Also any thoughts on whether stay dry is important at night (I had assumed it would be a good idea, but it was forcing me to put the insert in the diaper, and after last night that seems not ideal)?
