Stopping toddler falling out of bed

Hi everyone,

Any advice for stopping a 2 year old falling out of bed? He doesn't seem to care that he falls (I wake up to a crash and find he is still fast asleep on the floor) but my partner is really nervous about him falling out so much to the point he has his cotbed mattress there to break his fall. We have a bed guard but he does night gymnastics and just flops over this... I tried a pool noodle and same problem and he hates covers so I can't tuck him in snugly. Bed size doesnt matter, even a low double bed ends with him on the floor. He just likes a night time wiggle!

If we can't find a solution I will buy a Montessori bed but I know I will feel guilty if he is effectively on the floor so if anyone has any tips I will be so grateful!

Just let him sleep on a mattress on the floor for a while then he can't hurt himself.
I was going to suggest the pool noodle, but if he is vaulting a bed guard then that becomes a bit pointless.
