Freaking out about cot bumpers please talk sense to me

We'll soon be moving ds out into a clothed in he own room (he's nearly 6mo and has outgrown his crib in out room). Freaking out a bit about it, channelling that freaking out mainly onto cot bumpers. So sorryfor long rant on tedious subject.
When in cotbed for daytime naps or play he tends to roll around getting his legs or arms stuck, which I'm not too worried about, or he lifts his head up to look out and bangs it on the top bar of the cot. I am worried about at, not even sure if I should be...

So having read various threads about cot bumpers I still have some questions I hope you can help with

Bumpers/air wraps/bumpsters etc all seem to protect against trapped limbs and bumping head onthe actual bars etc...has anyone got a way to stop them banging head on the top (lateral) bar?

If I did get or make a cot bumper (since none fit a cot bed and they are so expensive), how could I fit it safely to the ends

I had this concern and it says on the fsid website that once they're 6 months if they're rolled onto their fronts you can leave them there.

Will the air wrap stretch right around the end of the cot bed? Worth a try? It won't be a huge cushion against bumps but better then nothing and still allows some air flow..
