Why go to the tanning salon when you can get the same tan at home?

NOT available to public

There are 3 big differences between a domestic tanning bed and a commercial bed - pricing, durability and speed. But, the main reason that so many people are opting 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 around the world, visiting a tanning solarium is a frequent and costly exercise. Furthermore, the entire time that it takes to travel to and from a tanning solarium, then getting unrobed and then redressed, can easily cut 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 solarium will never have any timeslot when you want it, because most people will want to visit at the more desirable times of the day, like lunch time on work days.

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

Trying to save time is just one reason for seeking an alternative - another reason is the cost of tanning salons. Typically, each visit to a tanning salon can cost anywhere from $15 to $30. If you start to sum up the cost of each tanning salon session, and then factor in the preparation time to get there, to unclothe, endure your tanning session, then redress and get back home or to work, there is definitely a lot of wasted time and effort. And if you remember the old saying, 'time is money', there is definitely a case of it here.

Having privacy is a major concern for so many people, and that is why they are opting to buy their own tanning bed. To get the best tanning results, you will need to be almost naked, although some people opt to be completely naked. Most people will avoid derobing at a tanning salon because of our native 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 require.

But we do need to consider the cost of the at-home alternative, and we also need to bear in mind the quality of the machinery. It is easy to assume that having your own tanning bed at home is going to be the perfect solution now that we have demonstrated that it will be so far more convenient, and that we won't be wasting so much time and money traveling to and from our local tanning solarium. The simple fact is that buying your own tanning bed is not a cheap exercise. 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 over 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 submissive 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. Both domestic and commercial tanning beds use the same types of lamps, so you will get the same tanning experience.

But commercial tanning beds are far more rugged and efficient. Like we said above, the typical bed in a tanning salon could be used more than 20 times per day, so the architecture of commercial tanning beds needs to be accordant with such high usage. Furthermore, a commercial bed will more than likely 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. A commercial tanning bed will thus work quicker than a domestic bed.

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