It depends on your circumstances, what you have in mind and how fussy you are about your furnishings I guess. Hyde in Florida has a good reputation and Sterling Freight in Houston, TX I hear is good.
I thought of doing the same thing. After investigation I decided to buy all (most) of my house hold items locally. The furniture is fine here. You can buy American mattresses and most anything else with just a little looking around. If you have the time I think it makes the whole experience better. There are still things I and my guests bring down with every visit but we are quite satisfied with buying locally in general. The big stores in Belize City can get anything over to the Island for you at a reasonable cost. A neighbor or mine bought all her furniture and furnishing for a 1500 ft2 2 bedroom condo and had it set up in two weeks, ready to rent. I couldn’t believe it. Mirab’s sent their men out to San Pedro and did the set up. Admittedly my place took us took us a while longer but most of our furniture was built to order.
You may save some money I guess but not all furniture is suitable for the climate down here. There is also Mexico for some shopping and some of my friends are using a trucking service to bring items down from both the USA and Mexico and they say it is the way to go. Good Luck either way it will work out.
