Pull-ups can’t really be adjusted to fit the way a regular diaper can. Did you ever ask your DS about it? Did it matter to him what he was wearing for bed?[/quote]

We never discussed it much beyond "Hey, we're out of these. So tonight you're gonna wear one of DS2's". DS didn't really mind either way, unless we were staying with family. But didn't have a preference one way or the other. The only difference I noticed was that [b]there always seemed to be lot more pee in his diaper[/b] the following morning when he wore one of those. Despite nothing else being different about our nighttime routine.[/quote]

NP. I don't have any experience with old kids and wetting the bed. But I do have 2 kids one of whom is mostly in pullups and the other is still in diapers. I thought I'd chime in and say that what you're pointing out there likely doesn't mean he was necessarily peeing.

What we've noticed though, is that in general, the diapers tend to get a lot "puffier", compared to a pullup with an equal amount of pee. It's because the diaper is thicker, and able to expand more and draw wetness away from the kid, whereas with a pull-up it kind of just sits near their skin.

We never dealt with bedwetting. But given what I know, I'd say a diaper would be more suited for a kid to wear all through the night. But the OP's child sounds like he would not be the sort that we be OK with wearing something that would be at all that might make him feel like he's not a big boy.[/quote]
