15 month old wont sleep in own bed

Ok so I need some advice, my little boy is still in his cot but we have taken the side off due to him headbutting and hurting himself, he won't settle in his own bed now, he gets out of bed everytime we sit him or lay him down in it. He wants to be in our bed with us all the time and I'm so tired I end up giving in and cosleeping.
Our routine is a bit everywhere too and he doesn't have a set bedtime anymore (it used to be 7) after a few late nights of teething, he now sleeps in till 10/11 which has a knock on effect to his bedtime.

Please help, my head is everywhere! XConfused

Also, do you think I should go back to basics and bring the cot back into our bedroom? X

I would definately put him back in the cot with the cot sides on.

Whether that is in his room or your room depends how often he wakes and how knackered you are. You need to do some in-cot settling so if you are too exhausted to get up every time and do that in another room, better to have the cot in your room rather than just deciding you're too knackered to settle in his room so being him into your bed.

Another option would be to just embrace cosleeping. Get a single mattress (double if room) and place directly on the floor in his bedroom. Forget the cot and know that one of you need to sleep in there with him.

Getting him settling in the cot will not be easy. It will require a lot of hard work, determination and consistency from you. If you are not in a place that can offer that, then better to find a way to cope rather than solve. So cosleep.
