Age When Children are Too Old to Sleep/w Mommy

My husband's been out of town and my just turned eight year old asked if he could sleep with me (only child) while Daddy was gone. A colleague of mine put down parents who slept with their children a while back, so I told my son he was now too old. This colleague thought that it was a bit twisted to allow one's son to sleep with Mommy when "daddy" was gone. However, I've talked to other mothers who see nothing wrong with it. What do you all think? My bed is a queen so if my son did sleep with me we wouldn't even touch. But I guess I can see both sides.
