Yes. But keep in mind, a BUMPER must be made up from 2 pool noodles stacked on top of each other in which each pool noodle is about ~2.5" tall themselves.

This is where the talk about the 5" tall bumper comes into play.
(~2.5" pool nodle + ~2.5" pool noodle = ~5" tall bumper.)

In my crude picture, let the O's represent a pool noodle cross-section & the solid lines lines above & below the O's equal the 5" spacing between the top & bottom of the constructed BUMPER (height of 2 pool noodles). The dotted line represent your horizontal planes of the BUMPER ZONE limits.

------7" (max) from floor
_____
O
O___

------ <-1" (min) from floor
______ <- Floor


Hope that clears up any confusion, & doesn't add any more confusion to your understanding of this!
