About Us
Keith and Jo Cobb, founders
We started Hiddenbed of Oregon due to a personal need — not enough space for both desks and beds in our living space. The solution was a Hiddenbed, an ingenious multi-purpose bed and desk furniture that transitions between the two functions in seconds with no need to remove anything from the desk. As a long-time craftsman, Keith purchased the required mechanism and built our first Hiddenbed. We loved it! Although Keith had a thriving construction business, we decided to start a new sideline business, and Hiddenbed of Oregon was born. Out of vision and determination today Hiddenbed of Oregon is the premier manufacturer and provider of premium quality space-saving beds in Oregon.
Our Story:
Built on Craft, Tested by Fire, Strengthened by Purpose
Hiddenbed of Oregon began in 2011 with a simple idea: homes should adapt to the way people live—not the other way around.
From the start, we were a family-run business with a hands-on approach. We worked closely with each customer, helping them rethink how their space could function—whether it was turning a spare room into a guest room and office, or making a small home feel open, flexible, and welcoming.
Over time, that simple idea grew into something more. We became known throughout the Portland area for thoughtfully designed, space-saving beds built with care and meant to last.

A Turning Point
On October 9, 2021, everything changed.
A fire destroyed our facility—bringing operations to an abrupt stop and forcing us to rethink how we would move forward. It was a difficult season, marked not only by the loss of our workspace, but also by the long and challenging process of working through an insurance dispute.
But even in the middle of that uncertainty, one thing remained clear: we weren’t done.
We reopened our showroom in a storefront space in Mount Angel, continuing to meet with customers, design solutions, and serve our community—even without full manufacturing capabilities.
Rebuilding with Intention
The years that followed weren’t just about recovery—they were about reimagining what Hiddenbed of Oregon could become.
We asked ourselves important questions:
-
How can we build better?
-
How can we have more control over quality?
-
How can we serve our customers more fully?
Those questions led to a pivotal decision.

A New Chapter in Brooks
In January 2024, we took a major step forward by investing in a used CNC machine to replace the one we lost in the fire. It allowed us to resurrect our own product line, while carrying those of a few trusted business partners who share our mission.
That same year, we opened a larger showroom in Brooks, Oregon, just off I-5—creating a space where customers could see, touch, and experience our products, while also supporting our growing production capabilities.
Where We Are Today
Today, Hiddenbed of Oregon is more focused and more intentional than ever. We continue to design and build space-saving furniture that helps people:
-
Create their own multi-functional spaces
-
Live more comfortably in the homes they already have
-
Make room for family and friends
But more than that, we carry forward everything we’ve learned along the way. Because this business isn’t just about furniture. It’s about helping people make their homes work better for everyday life.
