If we do do this, it will be a few years down the road, and yes, it will be because it is what we want. I grew up in the country, my hubby is a city boy, but has always wanted more land. Hopefully some day it will happen.

As far as batting goes, it is encased in the fabric, so the only time you're exposed to dust is when you handle it. For that reason packaged would be better that buying from a bolt.
The dust covers you buy for the mattress, springs and pillowcases are tightly woven cotton, so unless cotton was an allergen, it's not an issue.
I would wash everything I bring into the house, but I do anyhow.
