Mary Cordaro is president and founder of H3Environmental, Corp. featuring our premium line, The Mary Cordaro Collection™ of Naturally Healthy, Organic Beds and Bedding.
For 18 years, Mary has consulted with her clients, their designers and their architects on new home construction and remodeling, and offered resources for diagnosing and solving numerous environmental problems for existing homes. Avidly sought as a guest speaker and lecturer, her primary focus is the healthy bedroom. Thousands of people, worldwide, have benefited from Mary’s knowledge, from those who seek beautiful organic products for comfort and preventive health, to those who suffer from allergies, asthma, and back pain.
Mary’s years of experience as a healthy home expert have provided a powerful framework for the products she designs and develops, culminating in the creation of her premium line of organic mattresses and bedding under her own private label.
Mary Cordaro’s Collection of elegant, healthy beds and bedding offers beautifully finished, hand-crafted quality and sumptuous comfort which our customers rave about -- delivering a superior sleep environment compared to synthetic, conventional beds. But the added value of Mary’s trusted name is a personal touch that other bed companies simply cannot offer. Her experience in the green building, green lifestyle and organic bed industries make her a leader and pioneer, whose mission IS the healthy home and bedroom. Along with H3Environmental’s reputation for excellent customer support and service, The Mary Cordaro Collection offers a superior choice for luxurious organic beds and bedding.
*Bau-Biologie translates as “building biology”, a discipline from Germany dedicated to improving how our homes impact our lives and the living environment.
