Comforts of Home Services

What Comforts of Home Services does

Comforts of Home Services, Inc. (COHSI) is a privately held, family-owned U.S. manufacturer of luxury mobile specialty trailers, headquartered in Oswego, Illinois and founded in 2003 by mechanical engineer Brad Martin. The company designs and builds portable restroom, shower, decontamination, laundry, hand-washing, handicap-accessible, bunk/sleeping, locker/office, and combo trailers in configurations from compact 8-foot towable units up to 53-foot semi-trailers, with custom floor plans and modular configurations tailored to client specifications. Notable technical features include porcelain RV-style water-saving toilets (1 pint/flush), 13,500 BTU rooftop HVAC with heat strips, on-demand water heaters, commercial-grade PEX plumbing, and 7,000 lb independent torsion suspension with all-wheel brakes.

COHSI's go-to-market is direct sales driven by quote requests through its website, phone, and email, supplemented by trade-show presence (WWETT, SES Show) and a content/blog marketing layer. Primary verticals are U.S. military and federal agencies (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection), municipal government, the special-event industry (concerts, festivals, weddings), community outreach/nonprofits, and trailer rental businesses that subsequently rent COHSI-manufactured units downstream. The company operates a rental referral program that routes rental inquiries to its purchaser-customers, creating an indirect channel without COHSI holding rental inventory. Sub-brands include Comforts Select (premium interior upgrades) and Sidekick (utility companion trailer introduced February 2026). As of June 2026, COHSI had moved into its fifth manufacturing facility.
