Commercial tanning beds are designed to artificially darken
the skin using bulbs that simulate the rays of the sun. In a horizontal
bed, the person seeking a tan lies down in the bed for a pre-determined
amount of time. In a vertical booth, the client stands up to receive
their rays.
A horizontal commercial tanning bed used to be the only way to
fake-tan. When too many customers complained about touching the
surface touched by so many before them, as well as claustrophobia,
the vertical tanning booth was born.
Another alternative has also emerged, challenging the traditional
commercial tanning bed – spray tanning. Spray tanning takes
less time (and, therefore, don’t last as long), but the
results are good enough that plenty of people keep coming back
for the spray tan. Not to mention, the skin damage caused by the
rays of the sun, real and simulated.
