Is there not enough room to literally have the cot against the bed? Thats how i have mine, with 1 side taken off so its like an extension of the bed, and it cant go anywhere as its wedged between my bed and the wall. I do have room to put it else where but sheer lazyness prevents it, lol. Mind you, now he is sleeping through i might put it back where it was. Its easy where it is to get him out at night, but hard in the day as you have to either crawl across the bed or put him in from the end, which is a mission if hes asleep.
