Best night nappy?

We're using the two part reusables day and night. Currently, on FlexiTots during the day (really happy with these) and boosted ME Sandy's at night. My DS is growing out of the Sandy's and I'm wondering if there's anything better out there for night time use. He's quite a heavy wetter, so we had to boost the ME as they seem a bit thin. I'd appreciate recommendations. I would prefer a two part system, but if you think AIOs are better for night time... I'm open to suggestions .

elk - the minkee pockets are great of a day but very different than the soy night nappies. The soy night nappies are a fitted nappies that need a wrap over (we use fleece or wool), pockets don't need a wrap but you need to put inserts in the pocket to provide the absorbency iyswim?

Upsy Daisy are having a summer break at the moment, but will probably be open for orders in the next few weeks I would imagine.

I seem to be the only one who rates BG's on this site! I have used them on my 6 month old DD since she was 2 weeks old- never had a night time leak as I just stuff them with the extra booster. Wouldn't use anything else.

Most nappies made specifically for night use are really pricey. Though having a heavy wetter, I'm tempted...
I tried using the FlexiTots at night a few times over the past week and it seems it's gamble every time on whether or not they'll leak. Not that they're bad nappies, it's just that my DS can pee a LOT during the course of the night - sometimes it's barely a full nappy, but a few nights he'd soaked the nappy, the two boosters, his sleeping bag and the sheet !
Until I get some 'heavy artilery' for nights, we started using the FlexiTots with a 6-layer hemp booster in a microterry pocket (hemp is a bit stiff to put against baby's bum) - doing ok for now... though we're testing the limits of this arrangement it seems .
