Was in your position two years ago.
Beds wise, google is your friend. I knew I wanted to spend a bit to get a decent pocket sprung mattress so went to Frank McGowans in Swords to see a quality selection - narrowed it down to one, took the name and model, then stuck it into google. The very nice Respa mattress (and base) that would've cost about 1300 in McGowans came up online in a less fancy place on the Long Mile Road for about 800! Was able to order over phone knowing it was the exact same bed, came off the same conveyor belt in the Respa factory.
So I'd recommend doing your research in that sense.
Both couches were second hand from Merchant's Market in East Wall. The main one is so handsome, was barely used, really well made, massive (8ft long, really deep) and was 100 quid delivered! Had it steam cleaned professionally - sorted. The smaller one was same situation, and 60 quid. I was so chuffed with both of these, saved a silly amount and they're lovely couches to look at. Other furniture was picked up second hand or handed down from parents (and isn't rubbish, I take huge pride in my decor.)
Look at Merchant's Market, Irish Liquidators in Tallaght, adverts.ie - there's SO much great furniture out there. I like that my furniture has a bit of a story and wasn't once flat pack in a cardboard box.
But don't mess with the bed
