No matter what the ads say, I have never heard of a disposable diaper that will not leak if someone is sleeping on thier side. The two best disposable diapers are Dry 24/7 and Abena Abriform X Plus. A good set up is to put on an Abena Abriform X Plus Air Plus. That is the one with the cloth like backing. Cut some slits in the backing and put it on. Then put a Dry 24/7 over that. The capacity will be astounding. But even that will leak if worn by someone who sleeps on thier side.
If you sleep on your side and wet in your sleep, if you want to be sure to be free from leaks then you should wear the set up discribed above. Then on top of that wear an appropriately sized cloth pull up over the disposables. Gabby's makes a good one. They can be purchased from AdultClothDiaper. Then wear plastic pants over that. Try article 1232 in the appropriate size from B4NS. That should be enough to protect most side sleeping bedwetters from leaking. Really heavy wetters may want to put two cloth pull up diapers over the disposables. It is the disposables that hold most of the wetting, but the cloth pull ups soak up the leaks and the plastic pants keep the damp cloth pull ups from getting the bed wet.
If that is leaking it is because you are soaking the two disposables to capacity and the cloth diapers are trying to hold overflow rather than just leaks. If you are actually wetting enough for that to happen you can either add a booster inside for aditional absorbant capacity or replace one of the cloth pull ups with a pin on cloth prefold and maybe a soaker inside that.
Anyway, for side sleepers the trick is to have high capacity disposables and a cloth diaper and plastic pants over that to catch the leaks.
Both the X Plus and the Dry 24/7 can be purchased online from XP Medical. They seem to have the best prices, free delivery on cases, and prompt delivery on most items.

Good pin on prefolds:

Get the standard weight rather than the medium, heavy, or extra heavy. It is better to put on more layers of a lighter weight diaper than a heavier diaper. It will work just as well and will wash and dry better.
Hope that helps.
