Buy something classic and simple, your child will be using it for a long time. When they get into a phase, it is much easier to replace the bedding to update the room than to replace the bed. Buy a good mattress pad with a plastic backing to prevent spills going through to the mattress. (There are really nice ones these days that are padded fabric on the top and you’ll never know that it has a plastic backing, just don’t put it in the dryer.)
What’s the best type of bed and mattress to buy for a 5 yr old? I don’t like anything plastic, disney,etc…

Bless you for banning that junky stuff from your house and not polluting your child with it!
I had graduated to a regular bed by the time I was five. Because beds do not wear out, I would say go for the highest quality you can possibly afford, and plan to keep this bed forever, using it as a guest bed after your child is grown and gone. You will change out mattresses (also go for the best quality you can) from time to time, but if you choose carefully, you will be happy with the bed forever.
While the child is small, you can do things to dress it up if you feel the need. Bed covers of course, but you could also put one or more hooks in the ceiling and hang something to make it tent-like. A five-year-old might even be mature enough to help decide what it should be and participate in the making. A little project!
Have fun with this. Don’t buy something your child will outgrow right away.
