I proper like the mid sleeper beds...my two kids have gone one each. I bought them little play tents to add onto them to make them have some privacy but also a 'den'. I love it. One of my kids is 5 and 7. although i think the 5 year old is just a bit younger- we have made sure it's safe so he won't take a tumble during the night!! Have a look on http://www.childrensbedshop.co.uk/ it's a proper little gem for Children's beds and orher stuff for cheap prices. Hope it helps you :)
