Home Tanning Beds

When comparing home tanning beds and commercial tanning beds, the at-home solution differs in three main areas - price, durability and 'speed'. A home tanning bed will naturally be less susceptible to the rigors of a commercial tanning bed, but they are certainly capable of providing a golden tan - exactly the same as you would get from a tanning salon.

The home tanning bed is a lot lower in price than the commercial tanning bed because it is constructed in a more economical manner. The average at-home tanning bed would be used once a day, maybe twice a day, whereas in a salon the average bed may be used 20+ times per day. It is like comparing a DIY chainsaw and a professional chainsaw. We all know which one costs less, and we all know which one is suited to 8-10 hours usage a day.

Commercial tanning beds are far more rugged and durable. Like we said above, the average bed in a tanning salon could be used more than 20 times per day, so the construction of commercial tanning beds needs to be congruent with such high usage. Furthermore, a commercial bed will most often have far more lamps in it than a home tanning bed. A lot of home beds have around 16 lamps, whereas a commercial tanning bed can be fitted with sometimes 40 or more. What this does is it allows a commercial bed to perform it's task of ‘tanning’ a whole lot quicker.

Home tanning is a massive market, and tanning beds/booths are finding their way into more and more homes across the USA. From as little $50-$60 per month you can have a top-quality Wolff-certified full size home tanning bed - that's cheaper than 2 visits to most local tanning salons, and you can use yours in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

The privacy factor of home tanning beds is a major reason that many people are opting to buy their own. For best tanning results it is quite obvious that you will need to be either naked, or nearly naked. Most people will avoid stripping right down to bare clothing because of our natural tendency for personal privacy. So with a home tanning solution, you get the best of both worlds... a complete golden tan, and the freedom to do it on your time, and with as little or as much clothing as you like.
