Can A Home Tanning Bed Offer The Same Golden Tan As A Tanning Solarium?

There are 3 big differences between a domestic tanning bed and a commercial bed - pricing, durability and speed. But, the main factor that so many people are choosing to buy their own tanning bed is that they can achieve a golden glow in their own time, and in the comfort of their own homes.

For millions of people worldwide, visiting a tanning solarium is a recurring and expensive task. Furthermore, the entire time that it takes to travel to and from a tanning salon, then getting unclothed and then redressed, can easily slice into your day. This makes a trip to a tanning solarium an exercise that really needs to be planned way ahead of time. And in a lot of cases, a tanning salon will never have any availability when you want it, because most people will want to visit at the most desirable times of the day, like lunch time on work days.

For these reasons, people are seeking alternatives to tanning salons. People just want easiness - they don't want to be scheduling their whole week around a few trips to the tanning salon. Those that want a consistent tan are now starting to catch on that if there was a tanning alternative that could be performed at home, they would have far more spare time in their schedules.

Saving time isn't the only reason for seeking alternatives to tanning salons, cost is important too. A visit to a tanning salon is usually in the $15-$30 range. If you start to compute the cost of each tanning salon session, and then factor in the preparation time to get there, to undress, experience your tanning session, then redress and get back home or to work, there is definitely a lot of wasted time and effort. And as the old saying goes, 'time is money'.

The privacy factor of home tanning beds is just one more 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 derobing at a tanning solarium because of our genetic tendency for personal privacy. So with a home tanning solution, you get the best of both worlds... a full-bodied golden tan, and the freedom to do it on your time, and with as little or as much clothing as you elect.

But we do need to keep in mind the cost of the at-home option, and we also need to bear in mind the quality of the device. It is easy to assume that having your own tanning bed at home is going to be the perfect solution now that we have prescribed that it will be so a lot more convenient, and that we won't be wasting so much time and money traveling to and from our local tanning solarium. Buying your own tanning bed can be very costly. You will certainly need to establish that buying a tanning bed is for long term use, and not just another fad.

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 common at-home tanning bed would be used once a day, maybe twice a day, whereas in a salon the average bed may be used more than 20 times per day. It's like comparing a budget iron with a professional steam iron. We all know which one costs less, and we all know which one is suited to 8-10 hours usage a day.

A home tanning bed will naturally be less susceptive to the rigors of a commercial tanning bed, but they are certainly capable of providing a golden tan - completely the same as you would get from a tanning solarium. Commercial tanning beds use a very high-tech lamp system, and so do most domestic ones, meaning that the tanning results will be much the same.

But commercial tanning beds are far more long-lasting and efficient. Like we said above, the typical bed in a tanning solarium could be used more than 20 times per day, so the formation of commercial tanning beds needs to be consistent with such high usage. Furthermore, a commercial bed will most often have far more lamps in it than a domestic tanning bed. A domestic tanning bed will normally have 16 lamps versus around 40 lamps for a commercial bed. The obvious result is that the domestic bed takes longer to achieve the same result.

Home tanning is a gigantic market, and tanning beds/booths are finding their way into more and more homes across the USA. From as little as $50-$60 each month, you can get yourself a top-quality full size home tanning bed - that's lower in cost than 2 visits to most local tanning salons - and you can use yours in the comfort and easiness of your own home.
