Home tanning beds are all the rage. They give you a great color, as if you have been in the sun day after day, without exposing your body to such a great risk of skin cancer and aging effects. These indoor sun machines are a great way to go if you’re looking for a year-round tan but don’t have time to head to a tanning salon.
Home tanning beds are not as expensive as most people think. Newer models can usually be purchased for around $2,000. Banks and loan companies may also offer financing if you have good credit.
By tanning at home you can save money on visits to the salon and especially on trips to the beach. Beyond salon costs, you are saving transportation costs and your valuable time to and from the tanning salon. Now you can enjoy that “just got back from vacation” look even before you hit the beach.
Like tanning salon beds, the home equivalents can also be dangerous. But if used correctly for a limited time (and not too often), they can produce the same effect as sun tanning, but much faster and safer. With an at home tanning bed you can effortlessly get that “Coppertone Girl” tan without leaving the comfort of your own home.
Choosing the Right Home Tanning Bed
When choosing your purchase, research is of the utmost importance. You’ll benefit from taking the time to familiarize yourself with tanning bed options, industry leaders, replacement parts, and even the dangers of misuse before you go shopping. Home tanning beds are generally low-maintenance, but be prepared to budget for frequent replacement bulbs if you are an avid user in your home.
If you purchase your bed through a wholesale company, see if you can purchase additional bed bulbs in bulk at the same time. You will likely save on shipping and per bulb costs this way. If you decide to sell the tanning bed, replacement bulbs are always a welcome addition that increases the final value.
Compared to commercial tanning beds, home models are somewhat smaller, making it easier for you to fit them into your home. You should plan for a space the size of a double mattress. Although the tanning bed will take up less space than the mattress, you don’t want to place it directly against the wall.
Home tanning beds are popular with those who have space and want to get a healthy, golden glow without a lot of hassle. Home tanning bed technology has developed dramatically over the past decade. Home tanning beds are used by many different types of people and are very convenient to set up and use.
As more people decide to improve their home lives, they are buying more home tanning beds than ever before. When you tan at home, you have everything you need to create a comfortable environment. That is why they have become so popular. Tanning salons are fine for most people, but having your own home tanning bed is a luxury.
